Of course, if a game is full before that, creator can start asap.

I copied most of jlt’s posts into a shiny new thread so, you know, if anything’s wrong, blame him. :woman_shrugging:

FYI, in case anyone doesn’t know: When a game with weekend pause starts on a weekend, the pause does not take effect until the next weekend.

I created the challenges, but not 100% sure if the komi is correct. So please let me know if I should change some setting.
Specifically I set “komi: automatic” for even games, “komi: custom, -6.5” for reverse komi and “komi: custom, 0.5” for the handicap game.

I created the game for team 5v6
I hope I got it right!

Sorry but what does the “Ogf” mean?

Online Go Forum, as opposed to Online Go Server.

It’s a playful way we refer to the OGS forum community.

well obvs I cannot follow simple instructions so have removed my previous attempt and tried again with the (almost) correct title. Sorry @Gia

Why? It makes sense for the handicap games, but why for the other games?
I’m just curious, our games are all handicap games anyway.

I thought it was customary for the weakest player.

Sorry if this messes things up, we can change the rule.

I have held off joining the Team 2 v Team 3 and Team 2 v Team 4 games because if I join now the system will assign me to the wrong team. I will join after yebellz and Sofiam have joined those respective games.

The game creator can move a player from one team to the other.

Yes, if they know how. I think this may be safer.

dont worry.

An interloper has signed into the Team 2-Team 3 game. I have sent him a polite PM explaining the situation and asking him to withdraw. I have also sent a PM to martin3141 explaining the situation. When yebellz shows up, the interloper can be unassigned and left behind, I believe, if he does not withdraw.

Edit: He has graciously withdrawn. I also put a message in the chat to warn off others.

I added some game links to the first post. Seems like @_Sofiam still needs to make her team’s matches against teams 4 and 5.

How about in the game chat?

I think I’ve joined our four games. @martin3141 is the creator of one of them. Looks like I was the last one in.

Edit: also joined the fifth one, which was created by @a8090. That one is full, but the teams need to be adjusted.

Absolutely!
But in the games we play, not in a way that we could communicate with our teammates.

The point is not to provide useful information to the players. I assume that when we use the chat in games we are not playing, then the players can’t read the chat? Can a player who is a moderator see the chat anyway?
