Go up one level in this thread


Just to clarify: I had no suspicions of you whatsoever and I didn't ask you for
a log but when you delivered one I couldn't resist looking :-)

I liked the graph feature in the end. Maybe I will steel that. I hope you don't
mind...

The log idea was actually from another thread:
http://site2936.dellhost.com/forums/1/message.shtml?172051

here is an excerpt about the log thing:

I agree. I wonder if it would be possible to allocate a channel for each
competitor and make sure that they kibitz their evals into that channel.
Then interested spectators could observe the game and join the channels of
the participants. We could ask ICC to save the info spewed into these channels
for a period so that any disputes could be addressed. Of course, all this
would require FAR more organization, and would raise problems: what if a
program didn't do this properly? etc..
