04-17/17:11 Hagbard: Then only I can do it manually, I'm afraid

04-17/17:06 Draganov: What happens if one of the players refuse to do it and the other timeouts?

04-17/16:35 Hagbard: It works, in the sense that repetition does not give a win to a player.
But the two players have to both click the Draw-button.
Earlier the program stopped the game and gave both players a Draw. But some situations showed up where the program should not do that, therefore the players must do it manually.

04-17/11:48 Draganov: @Hagbard, thanks for the clarification. Could you also check if the repetition rule works in Total Hnefatafl because the game between Thorfin and Cacreal is still ongoing despite threefold repetition.

04-17/08:19 Hagbard: Variant number 16 balance 1.3

04-16/21:30 Draganov: @Hagbard, the game balance of Copenhagen is mentioned to be (16 ba 1.3). Could you explain what does '16 ba' mean?

04-15/07:29 Hagbard: Formula One test round 2 started, tourn. 735 Daldos16

04-14/19:57 Skye: Ahh, top they look nice.

04-14/18:30 Colophonius: It's another Brandubh-variant, played by the rules of Damian Walker. Therefore it's new design
