Curling update

Curling
is a good update but.....now cheaters for example set up 8 ends and can win 20-0 so can take more points for cheating...before when someone give free points have results 10-0 if he quit in 1 end.
Until now you complain about not punishing quitters enough. Now you complain about quitters loosing too much... FYI: 10:0 or 20:0 is not that much of a difference in terms of rating. You might check the faq about how the rating changes for each match score. BTW: each unplayed end now scores 2 points in normal mode. OP
"Until now you complain about not punishing quitters enough. Now you complain about quitters loosing too much..." Yup - people on this forum will complain no matter what you do. Thanks for the updates :)
Loving the new updates! Thanks, Operator! One thing I thought I'd point out, though: Is it just me, or has sweeping become glitchy and/or very difficult to use since the update?
Great changes! Wtg! And yes, as happened last update, the sweeping is back to old settings, with only a mere yard of sweep. Hope you fix this back soon as you did last time : ) Great to be seeing you taking our suggestions seriously!
Great, fantastic ! I really enjoy and don't regret to have paid for this fantastic game ! Now, the game is quite perfect... there is some details, like beeing able to play wider... for going at top left of the house from ... the left ! But a BIG THANK YOU for the updates ! See you on skin-flyordie ! :)
Just a question : what happends if the last end of skin is 0-0 (one point for the hammer) ?
I have the answer : like in real curling : a draw to the button (without sweeping) determines it ! Great... flyordie is professional curling ! :) (sorry for my bad english)
While into bugs: the chat doesn't seem to be working properly. Simply can't write in it some times.
Hmm okay, I'll have to experiment more on the sweeping bit then. First impression is the sweep is alot less effective either way, but I could be wrong.
Operator can you expalin me this in S4 my oponnent take 2 points with hammer and take 10 points in one end!!!!!how possible take 10 points in 1 end I ask you.I have also skins from before end!
how possible I play with player over 400 points in S3 I won 4-0 end and system give me 3 points,but after my opponent won in S3 2-0 and take same 3 points......I and he have hammer....where is here fair score?
"in S3 I won 4-0 end and system give me 3 points,but after my opponent won in S3 2-0 and take same 3 points......I and he have hammer....where is here fair score?"
Have you read and understood the information at
http://www.playcurling.com/faq.html?topic=skins
? Or try:
http://www.curldc.org/about/skinsFormat.php
You won the first S3 end, and got the 3 (skins) points. Your opponent won the second S3 end, and got the 3 (skins) points. As long as you win the end (with 2 or more stones with hammer, or 1 or more without hammer) you get the points. Even if you had won with 8 stones (lol) you'd still get the points available - which is 3 in S3! If you don't like playing skins or don't think it is fair, the solution is obvious - play "non-skins"...
Operator, Update is brilliant, thank you. Can the next update include a room where 2 players can have a "draw to the button" contest? Might be quite easy to facilitate, since it has been added at the end of skins games when points are still available. This, as you will be aware, is what happens in real curling to decide who gets the Hammer in the first end. Here, on FlyOrDie, players could then enter a game, and if the wrong player has the Hammer simply exit the game and back in until it is correct - although they might lose "precious points" doing this. OR, even better: If it can be programmed in for the end of a skins game, can it not be added at the start of every game - to decide hammer?
If it's possible to the next version of curling, a player cannnot make points against a player who have 0 of rating. it makes no sense to make point when player play against another one who have no rating. because when i play against another player, if i win (i win 10 points for example) and the other player loose the same point (10 points) so, if we can have this changes because player arranged the game, and cheat for point only. it's not fair... And the other update will be very cool if we can have only 1 (one) username per computer (and not per adress) so it will be the real score when we play... so, the person who lives in the same place are only 1 username available... that's all and i will appreciate this new changes if it comes soon on the new version... thank you
