@Argothair Since I’m trying to piggy back on Smorey’s rules, I don’t think Egypt is in the cards as a VC. If it were up to me, I would 100% do that.

I might relax the bidding rules a bit. I just wouldn’t want a set of teams to burn 15 minutes past the “official” start of the game … for those situations where another game needs the tables after the round is over. I think it’s only a “big convention problem.”

Thanks for asking for clarification on the rules. The purchase rules timing does seem to be problematic. I wanted to avoid burning more time. If a player runs out the clock, they’re probably going to take forever on the “free” purchase phase as well. Should I just allow 7 to 10 minutes of bonus time to make purchases? That should be more than enough for 1.5 rounds of purchase and place.

The problem of arguing over casualties or fumbling with dice is real, even if it is not a malicious intent to burn time.

I’ve created a new set of tournament rules that we’re going to try at OrcCon in LA next weekend.

Please let me know your thoughts, find loop holes, etc. Hoping to get any feedback before we start using it.

Thanks!

@barnee There are two parts to the site:

• The forums, here, and anything in /forums/
• The rest of the website, the articles, etc. This part has been redone.

@DoManMacgee Yes you may!

@CentralCommando It’s also BLAZING fast. But it’s static content so that makes sense. No more Wordpress!

@Panther Not just a new design but new content!

• An actual up to date list of events
• Featured videos
• A landing page for all of the games

And there’s more to come. Mostly forms to submit new videos, events, and other content.

Yeah, so I launched the new website. Yay! Also, whoops! Part of the migration was creating a bunch of redirects, many of which messed with the forums URLs.

Once I excluded the redirects from forum URLs, we seem to be in good shape.

@The-Captain For 2025? If you would like to, that can be arranged.

@Panther I know that you sent in for Gold but your contributions here are worth more than Gold and to show my, and our, appreciation for your hard work, I have made the executive decision to upgrade you to Distinguished. I see no better person to receive the first Distinguished badge and status.

I don’t know what we would do without you, thank you. 👏

Happy New Year! The 2026 Support Drive is here.

Updates:

• We have 2 new tiers.
  1. Honor $120/year (that’s $10/month; less than your streaming subscriptions)
     
  2. Distinguished $240/year
     
• A new PayPal button, which has a few more options but could also introduce problems. Let me know if you run into issues.

Update: Would folks be interested in a monthly subscription for the tiers of Honor and Distinguished?

Lastly, I’ll have some special perks for the two new tiers. For Distinguished, definitely a permanent place for your username somewhere on the website more prominently then in a post on a forum. So even if you do it once, your name will be enshrined somewhere.

We’re using Cloudflare (CF) now to help with the bots and caching the site. After installation, CF was quite aggressive against anything automated including TripleA clients. I set up a rule to allow TripleA traffic.

So it’s all fixed now and the site should feel faster.

If it doesn’t work on this topic, try a new one. Sometimes these things get cached somewhere.

@surfer And does downloading work?

Also, please try TripleA again. It might work.

@surfer I think I’m having problems following the issue. Can you describe the problem or problems that you’re experiencing?

@farmboy said in BM Surfer (L+15) vs Farmboy (X):

I’m getting an error code 403 when I try to post

When you post from the browser or from TripleA?

@captainwalker Okay, that’s weird. Let me look today.

@captainwalker Yeah, last night I was working the problem and causing a few disruptions while doing it. Everything should be stable now and far fewer bots taking up resources.

Okay, this time for real. We’re running through Cloudflare now. Sticky sessions enabled so that your websocket sessions don’t switch servers and get all confused.

I was seeing the yellow box in the lower right corner warning that “it looks like you’re not connected” or something like that.

I restarted a few things and it went away for me. I’m hoping that you all are also not seeing that error but if you are. Please let me know.

Also; the site really does seem faster, right?

It kinda feels like the site is faster today right?

I enabled Cloudflare so I think it’s working. Sorry Chinese AI bots, you don’t get to have A&A in your language models.

However, I think there are some issues with over-aggressive caching. Working on it.
