Change of plans about Team CUP day!
Hej!
Nu har det blivit en liten ändring på dag angående Cupen eftersom att landskampen spelas på söndagen.
Det nya datumet är: Onsdag den 4:e juni kl 20.00!
Ni som ännu inte har lag har till nu på söndag på er att anmäla in dom!
Hey!
It has been a little change of day to play the Team cup because the friendly games are played this sunday.
The new date is: Wednesday the 4th June 8pm swedish time!
You who doesnt have a team yet got time til sunday to sign them in!
05-29 Last day to make a team
Come one players take a chans and make a team on 4 players u can win a price even if u not win and we should have fun its so tuff to win so it made bee very small difference who win. And we also should draw a lot off a price to some other team, so u could bee a winner even if u dont win a game and that would be tuff for the most teams to win. And take a chans to start play a team tajt so u get the team feeling to the autumn we start on real with 12 cups 1 in every month, total best should be the winner.
With a little price every month but we test now different sort off cups so we found the best one 1 thing its 4 sure it would be short once. But maybee next one we make a tour 1 day and the 4 best go to quarter final the day after.
And dont worry BG players u should get the same:)
we drawing the lots tomorrow so u could read it here....
Kom igen nu alla lirare och ta de sista platserna, ta chansen och spela ihop ett team till hösten kör vi på riktigt med 3.4.5 spelare + 2 extra så de för dagen starkaste kan lira eller om nån inte har möjlighet att spela. Vi försöker göra så det blir spridning och ännu mer i höst så vi får med alla idag är det så starka lag så det blir tufft att vinna ens 1 match oavsett lottning.
Vi delar ut ett pris till vinnande lag men även det lag som inte vinner en match kan bli vinnare ändå då vi tänkt lotta ut ett pris till ett av de övriga lagen.
Ni som vill vara med men inte har lag eller fullt lag anmäl det ni har så får ni hjälp som ni ser finns redan 1 saknad plats i team Hellas en spelare med max meriter ifrån div 2..
Lottningen bör komma imorrn så ni kan läsa här
GL all
05-28 teamcup missing players last day 29 off may
And we still have place for 3-4 more teams.
Team Hellas,Kokkinos,Romano saknar en spelare med meriter från max div 2, nån som är intresserad skriv till mig eller Marru på shock eller [email protected]
Vi har forfarande plats för 3-4 lag sista anmälan imorron den 29 .

Nu har vi en email som du kan sända dina frågor till oss om cupen, shockplay.. bloggen och så vidare....
Vi ser hellre till att ni skickar era frågor till mailen om det inte är brådskande... annars kan ni ju alltid skriva till oss på shockplay - till wolf eller marru.. Vi båda har lika mycket ansvar för allt med det här att göra så bara så att alla vet.Att jag wolf började här ensam, men sen fick med mig Marru viket jag är jäkla glad för att hon ville bli ena delen av här det puu vilken tur:) Så många frågor, skrivande. komma på ideer nu cuperna vi tänker oss fortsätta med även utöka till tex i corren en bestämd lag cup över många olika deltävlingar, i även de andra spelen. Så antar jag skrivandet inte blir mindre. Så vi kommer köra olika cuper och tävlingar med nu lite begränsade möjligheter men vänta tills version 3 kommer då brakar vi löst ordentligt:)
Så ska ni ha tack för all positiv respons om både blogg och cup och lagspel:)
Email adressen är: [email protected]
Vi kommer att kolla mailen varje dag.
Now we have a email that you can send all your questions about the CUP , shockplay.. the blog and so on....
We rather see you send your questions there if its not in a hurry... otherwise you can write to both of us at shockplay - to wolf or marru.. We both have as much responsibility on all this so you know.
And this cup on sunday is ust the begining before we start on real:)
The email adress is: [email protected]
We will check the email every day.
Golden round 4
Marru's top players in every group, in no such order:
Group 1. Goldstar, Zimond, Cronos - why not Rocketman if he plays enough?
Group 2. Katjziska (come on sis) , Godisguden, DaCa and maybe DIF SM 08?
Group 3. A Proud Romanista!! , ¤¤¤90%¤¤¤, braverymonkey and Mularn (bribe your wife so you can play^^)

05-27 cup playing and rules
Vi tänkte köra igång cupen nu på söndag den 31 maj, kl 18.30..............
De som får strul med nån lirare som får förhinder, får rätt att plocka in motsvarande lirare i stället, ser ni inte till oss på shock går det att skicka e-post till [email protected]
Eller tex ni som inte får ihop ett helt lag kan vi lägga in i bloggen senast torsd så får ni ihop lag lättare kniper det försöker vi hjälpa er.
Första lag får ett litet pris i form av fri speltid.
Så till det tråkiga men nödvändiga för att göra det lätt för oss och rättvist reglerna.
Om det nu blir 16 dels finaler först eller kvartar men ser ju solklart ut som 16 dels finaler, vi börjar med alla 16 lag samtidigt, men i lagen spelar man en match i taget där borta laget (som lottas) får sätta upp sina lirare först, så hemmalaget får en liten fördel att ställa upp sina spelare mot de som de i förväg vet om.
Vi kör bäst av 2 st 3 sets matcher för möjlighet att få till oavgjorda matcher och mer nerv i det hela:), där kaptenerna väljer ut sin för dagen bästa spelare i 1 match till 3, dels för spänningen men också för att vi ska hinna cupen klar på en kväll.
Sen vinnade lag vidare till nästa omgång såklart vanligt enkelt cup spel, så lite sudden death om det blir oavgjort:)
Avklarade matcher rapporteras till wolf eller marru om vi inte lyckas hyrain nån som skriver åt oss.
Så fördel om alla kaptener kan lämna sina epost adresser till nån av oss, så vi kan nå varandra.
Vi hoppas ju på att allt bara flyter på, men för att vara säkra skriver vi redan i förväg vad som gäller i och med att lag medlemmarna säkert kommer följa sina kompisars matcher finns ju bevis så saker som strunta i att spela för att nån deffar, timer fjant, eller otrevligheter och psykningar blir wo match direkt genom vittnen eller print screens.
Kommer nått lag eller nån spelare inte till spel så blir det en wo match ev hel wo förlust.
Men självklart hoppas vi på att ha kul och slippa sånt alla spelar på sitt sätt och i sin takt så blir allt bra.
Så hoppas jag ni har lite överseende om nått strular i första tävlingen! Det är första cup testet vi kommer pröva lite olika varianter för att finnadet bästa spelsättet.
Så självklart lycka till alla som lirar gå in och ha kul bara kan säkert kännas lite nervöst för många av oss som aldrig spelat förut så var schysta mot varandra i lagen.
cya on shock wolf och Marru
Hey!
We are going to play the cup this week on sunday the 31 may, swedish time 6.30 pm.....
They who get trouble with players in their team can take in a reserve that is on the same level like the one who cant play... If you dont see us online at Shockplay.. send email to: [email protected]
For you who dont have a whole team ready yet , we can put in the blog latest on thursday so you can get your team ready easier , so we can help you with that.
The team that wins gets a little price in shape of free playtime.
Now to the boring part but necessary so it makes it easier for us and fair rules.
If there will be 16 part games first or quarter finals but we think there will be 16 part games, we start with all the 16 teams at the same time but one game in a time in the teams, team against team. The away team (that will be draw by lots) sets up their players first. So the home team gets a little advantage to put their players against the others they already know about.
We will play best of two 3 set games so its a possibility to get tie games and more nerves in the play:) Then the team captens choose their best player for the day to play the deciding game - a 3 set game. Partly for the excitment but also so we can play the whole cup under a night.
The winning teams will of course proceed to the next round , simple easy cup play, so it will be a little sudden death if there is a tie :)
Report The played games back to wolf or marru if we dont succeed to "hire" someone who writes for us.
Its for the best if all captens in the teams can leave us their email adress to someone of us, so we can keep in touch better.
We just hope all will go well, but to be sure we write all that will count now before so all the team mates will follow their buddies games. Then you can have proof/witnesses of stuff like someone who refuses to play because pushing, using timer, or rudeness - it will be a WO game right away by witnesses or printscreens.
If some team or some player dont play it will be a WO game too, eventually a whole WO for the team.
But of course we hope to have fun and not to have any problems, everyone plays in their own way and their own speed.
So we hope you have indulgence if something goes wrong, cause problems in the first competition!
This is the first cup play test we are doing , we are going to try some different variants of this to find the best way to go on with it.
Good luck everyone that will play and have fun. It can sure feel a bit nervous for many of us that havent played in teams like this before so be nice against each other.
see ya on shock // wolf and marru.

05-25 Hope all mams in here have a nice day and the cup test
Now when all now the cups gone be a part off shocks games + some other different competition, come on now boys and girls, bid a little on u self its no shame to loos a game if i go in and met for example zimond and he kick my ass i just smile and enyoyed his game and maybe learn some thing:) I now meny wonder and have team they wonder over, shot and send in a team now its only a test cup and its been so much more easy for us to plan the cup and real fun if we see meny show there interest:) Lets have fun now.
cya
05-24 teamplaying
Men som idag då vad jag tycker att vi kör 2 eller 3 st 3 sets matcher i rad (väljer vi 2 är det för möjligheten att att det kan bli oavgjort) och då får varje kapten välja ut den han anser va hetast den dan, kan ju med öka spänningen.
Men som cor cuperna när version 3 är igång kör vi igång en lagtävling som sträcker sig över 1 år en cup i månaden 5 i lagen då med en reserv, då får vi möjlighet att tex säga en spelare max div 3 så vi når stora massan!
Men då ska vi ha så vi kan köra som jag tycker är rätt lagom 7 setare, saknas lag el nån spelare blir såklart wo i den allt ska va så det absolut utan krångel blir klart på den tid vi tänkt oss.
Även Rocketman är inne på samma linje med mycket mer cup spel inte bara i couronne utan fler grenar som vi får ge oss till tåls med att se vad de blir:)
Så kom igen nu alla sp lirare anmäl lag (det är inget krav att haelitare och såna spelare med är ni ett gäng div 2-4 spelare går lika bra) Vi ska ju ändå ut och ha kul framförallt :)och hjälp oss att pröva oss fram till bästa iden och var lite förstående är ni snälla att det är första cupen nu som Marru och Wolf kör.
Vi har mycket att lära oss därför vi vill köra lite olika tester på cupspel redan nu.
Hade gött ses vid bordet:)
This team competition will we first se how meny teams it will bee,we mean to play it like this that for example a quarter final will been played all at same time, but every singel team play one game at the time there the team who played awaygame set up there team first, then the home team have a little profit to choose who they set there players against.All for to get it more exaiting and maybee some nervs:)
But now the first cup we should try play 2 or 3, 3 sets game ( if it been 2 games is it for the chans to get a game even) and then the captain for the team chooise who he,she think its hotest this day, maybee can make it more exaiting?
But when version 3 off shockplay start should we try to have meny sorts cup games for ex a cup over a hole year, 1 cup every month 1-2 evenings. But then with 5 players in every team with 1 or 2 reserve players if some not can play or the captain will let one off the reserves played.
Then with 7 sets game and only 1 game, if a team or a player missing so wo. So we dont missed any time and the team loos there points that month.
Even Rocketman think its a good idea and want to see more cup games not only cor or maybe bg and some more new game maybee:)
So shot now all shock players make a team( and its not some who say it must bee elit players) it could bee some friends playing div 4 or no leauge at all ) Its however jff we play no war:) But for sure it bee leauge playing and tuff games.
Bee little nice against us wolf and marru its our first cup and we will do our best, but we wil try some different cups to bee better until version 3 started.
Have a nice time and take care cya with the table
Wolf and Marru
05-23 a test for team playing
Tänkte köra 2 st lag turneringar för skojs skull ett litet test max 16 lag med 4 st i varje lag, sammanlagt mest poäng i ett lag vinner. Men lutar mer och mer åt cup spel samma upplägg som landskamperna 3 st 3 sets matcher vinnaren går vidare.
Men max 1 som spelar i elit, 1 som spelar i div 1, 1 som har spelat i dessa högre ligor förut, 1 till spelare.
Som ni vill det behöver ju inte vara exakt såhär men det är max gränsen för de spelare som spelar i högre divisoner, det kan ju vara 4 st div 2 spelare till exempel...
Kul test för nått jag hoppas kunna få igång senare som cupspel över en kväll bara kanske 10 cuper sammanlagt bäst vinner.Kul för de i lägre ligor att möta de bästa här också.Tänkt om lite o är nog roligare med cup spel direkt.
Så de först 16 som är max, anmälda lagen kommer med i test touren och jag tror att Marru och jag har bra pejl på tex en div 4 spelare som håller div 1 eller elitklass.
Anmäl till wolf eller marru på shock går testerna bra kanske cup spelet blir verklighet sista anmälan är den 29:e maj.
Var snälla nu och klaga inte på om nån deffar, en print på sånt går matchen över till motståndaren.
Förhoppningsvis ett litet pris till det bästa laget, så tänk på att ni spelar i ett lag och ge allt för varandra:)
Sista anmälan 30 maj tänkte jag mig om vi fyller kvoten med lag:)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are thinking of putting together 2 team tournaments just for fun, a little test with max 16 teams - 4 players in each one. The team that gets most points all together wins. !6 players if it be cup playing 3 sets game best off 3
the vinner go to next round.
But in a team it will be max 1 that plays in elite now, 1 from div 1, and 1 that have played in these higher leagues before, and 1 more.
As you want, I doesnt have to be exactly like that...just think that is the max limit for the higher players, it can be 4 players from div 2.....
Its a fun test for something I want to be a cup-play later on, maybe about 10 cups and the team with most points win.
Its fun for them from the lower divisions to meet the best ones too.
So the first 10 teams to sign in gets to play in the test tour, and I think that me and Marru have good feeling for example a div 4 player that might really be a div 1 or elite player.
You can sign in to wolf or marru at shock, if the tests goes well maybe the cup play becomes a reality, last sign is 30th May.
Be nice now - dont complain if somebody push, a print of that and the game goes over to your opponent.
Hopefully there will be a little price to the 3 best teams, so think of that you are playing in a team and give everything:)
Last sign in is 30th May, if we got max off teams:) 
The teams/ Lagen
Här kommer vi att fylla på med lag så fort de blir klara, hitta på ett namn till era lag och en lagkapten:

marru member for 5 years yesterday! (oops)
I've had and still have a good time at SP, hopefully for many more years?! :D
Now I'll share some printscreens over the years :)
First I'll start with the battle of shanghai solitaire that was going on between me and my sis Kat ;) (and still are but not as much as it was)
When these prints was taken we were around level 200-300 something..
The first text means:
Petrify greets to Marru to outfight your sister (Katjziska) in Shanghai so she doesnt go by you again!
You see in the next text that Mr D is really cheering for Kat, protective for her ;)
But who won in the long run? =D
Here is todays result:
BTW Kat , I'll come after you in your ranking as number one in Shanghai multiplayer.. just need some folks who wants to play against me! :)
See this result: (be really worried now Kat hhiih, I didnt loose a set in this tour, and I had a lot of fun playing it, thanks Broken Angel for a good tour!!)
Here is the proof for you Cheese, yea I had over 20 000 points.. think I had over 23 000 when it started to go down again ;) This print is from 2006.
I also wanna show a print of CC 2005.. I won the whole tour and even got home a real medal for it hehe thanks "Blueswede68"!
And now a bit of gammon I got my first gammon gold in 2006, sadly dont have a print of how the league ended!
I got my second gold in 2007:
Of course there have been times that I have been really close getting other ones... but there always been something distracting.... Now I might get my third gold today! :) Its needed hehe considering I have played 45 weeks in elite on and off =))
As it looks now I will still be around in Div 1. in couronne! :D
Though my result doesnt look so much out for the world ;) hehe
Well I had a much better start this week with 3-1 and then screw rest of the games up! :P called the marru syndrome? ^^,
Oh yea, I must make Mr D proud he says I will play in Elite before the end of this summer, so see you there guys! ;)
Hmmm..ok..maybe.... first one of us to elite is the best Kat?
And the battles continue.....
Over and out // marru

Top 10 girls at shockplay
Topp 10 tjejer på shock om de ville!
MASTERHAND lite ojämn, bra spel då är du i topp sviktar bara lite ibland.
Celinakyle Lite brist på vilja? Annars lätt en topp 10 tjej.
Kajun Kitten fd Bratitude mer taktik och vilja så uppåt direkt.
Marru Börjat se att man måste deffa för att vara med redan gett resultat:)
Kat given om suget finns och om hon vill spela liga.
Trollmor om hon spelade mer och började deffa låg ju faktiskt i div 1 utan att deffa.
Lillamia oxå vart uppe i div 1 fattas nog oxå mer spel o va lite elakare i spelet så är du där igen.
Battie Kan spela bra nog mkt motivation som saknas och ovilja att deffa.
Elloise fd M.Agic schysst tjej som spelar lite då och då jff lekte sig upp till 2:a i div 2 med bara ett smile när hon loosar.
Broken Angel given om hon bara ville spela taktik och gå för ligan:)
Top 10 girls at shock if they would want to!
MASTERHAND little uneven, good play when you are at top just swag a little sometimes.
Celinakyle little lack of will? Otherwise easy a top 10 girl.
Kajun Kitten former Bratitude , with more tactic and will you would go directly go up.
Marru Has started to see that you need to push to get in, already given results :)
Kat is given if she got motivation to play league again.
Trollmor if she played more and started to push, she actually was in div 1 without pushing.
Lillamia has also been in div 1, also needs to play more and to be a bit meaner in the game, you would be there again.
Battie can also play well enough, lot of motivation is missing and a repulsion to push.
Elloise former M.Agic, nice girl that plays a little once in a while for fun, played her way up to second place in div 2 with only a smile on her face when she looses.
Broken Angel is given if she just would play more tacticts and go for the league:) 
FINLAND VS USA
Wohoooooo!!!
Finland won over USA in the quarter final.... we are so happy now wiiiiieee...
Pooor Mr D sat in the middle of me and Kat he didnt dare to do anything other than cheer for Finland with us!!! :D
Me and Kat can be a bit crazy when it comes to watch Finland play lol
We were not supposed to see this game cause it was broadcasted so late but we couldnt resist and glad we didnt skip it, it was a good game!
Finland got a beating in the early game against USA watch this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWw0OPFz0jU
But now they got their revenge ;)
HYVÄ SUOMI!!!
Hope we win against Russia too!!! ^^

05-15 wolfs lite tankar om att höja intresset
Landskampen bara att kolla o säga wow fan va bra vi är att zimme är stommen att bygga runt är väl inte så mkt att orda om de andra gör precis vad de ska göra vinner:)
Ser ju att det går neråt igen, bara mina tankar för att höja intresset.
Håller med Daca till fullo att man får fram bästa spelaren genom långa turneringar!!!
Men jag vet Jens att du är inte av samma tanke som mig riktigt utom som extra tävlingar....
1 lag som med säg 4-5 lag och olika kaptener, vi har så bred topp så vem vet om lag 1 vinner? Plus att fera fick chansen att visa upp sig, finns nerver med i spelet oxå.
1 lag tävling med 3-5 i varje med max 2 st ifrån div 1 eller elit i varje lag med en reserv (vill gärna ha bara en match med fler set lättare att adminstratera,de snabba hinner in och peppa på sina team mates,med 1 match så chans betonat med typ 3 set.:bara) med rätt för varje lagledare att bestämma vilka som de väljer att ställa up med mot i förväg inlagt lag från bortalaget, , borde med lite taktik att kunna bli jämnt mellan många lag. Som liras som cup såklart.Ge de lite sämre än topparna chansen att känna l att höra, till ett lag.Funkar med 3 manna lag oxå.
Like ideer med "curlingupplägg med typ kubblag testa 5 ggr lira som prov om ni gillar det så kunde vi kanske köra ett sm för "klubblag" nästa år, säg tex 1 match i månaden 12 på ett år vinner sammanlagt.
Plz säg era tankar ideer vilja i en kommentar annars kan ju ingen veta vad stora mängden av spelare vill och tänker inget är omöjligt:)
32 lag minst måste vi väl kunna ragga ihop med möjlighet upp till 128 lag.
Upplägget kan ju variera lite beroende på hur många lag det blir och det här med div 1 och elit kan ju bedömmas finns ju spelare med massa sweeps och div 1 och elit meriter blir ju ngt som man får ta i beräkning och kan bedömmas för en av de 2 toparna i varje lag
Tanken är ju en lagtävling för hela Shockplay.
12 kvällar om året har vi tid för vinnarna kan få spelar några timmar, men lag som åker i första rundan "lägger ner en 20-30 min.

Some general thoughts. By Mr Daydreamer.
About the game of couronne, league, golden, qulifyers for the Swedish team, and maybe
some other thoughts, players and so on.
Let me start by talking about the Golden Tour, a tour which this month is not that golden
from my point of view.
I started off pretty ok, felt like any other month, besides that I lost a game already in the beginning.
This game was against Hektor, nothing to say about that, good player doing his thing 0-3 :)
But then came the back stab, a few days later I played a player whom didn't play a single defence shot,
yes my rings wheren't nice to me but thats not a reason to lose the game, I played really bad
and Zebra played really well and potted almost everything. 2-3 Yes I was not happy but
I dropped it pretty quick anyway.
Then I played Mayhem a few days back, he started by sweeping red with a following ugly shot
to miss by me :/ 0-3 never really got in to the game, third loss.
Today, well nothing to say about the loss, hoppbananen is a good player, but the way I lost,
thats whats troubeling me for the future matches (0-3 against the jumping banana), still have
bravery to play for example. Guess it doesn't matter as long as I make the playoff though.
The league, gonna keep it short. I started over, I had no motivation in elite. I'm gonna
go for a straight up apperance, this means go straight weeks up to elite and win elite
first apperance, simple. Not simple to do it though, scandalplayer seems to move up this week
but as long as I'm undefeated I guess I can hang :):) Good luck to me ..
The qualifiers for the Swedish national team.
I started very well, played two tap breakers A Proud Romanista!! and Päron. I do feel the
anger rising in me when people tap break, but at the same time my competative side gives
me a rush to simply just wanna win against that low life type of game. Bring it on!! ;P
What I do when someone tap break is that I tap as much as I can the intire set and use
the small advantages I might get myself to outbid my oponent. Not fun but what the hell am
I suppose to do? Funny though is that I pointed out to Päron that I hope they take away
those tap breaks with the new version, and he laughed at me :) All in a friendly fashion of
course. So qualifying group is: 2 down 10 to go if I counted it correctly.
A couple of people that I'd like to mention.
Starting with DaCa: Well done DaCa taking Godis and Puffe to the qualifying groups to let them
show what they are made of. The reason I think it's good is because I'm not sure that their
place in the Swedish team is as solid as people think!
Puffe made an awesome game against Cronos last time, but on the other hand I'm pretty sure Cronos
wouldn't qualify to the Swedish team either if he was a Swede.
The Swedish members are many and they are good. I think we might be in for a surprise or two
when it comes to who is gonna join the others in the battle against the Netherlands.
andreasaswardh: He impresses me, big time. His game has developed even more since he was in elite
last time, Andreas and Zimond are the two by far best players today at shockplay. And I'm not
sure who would win between them in the long run now, few weeks ago it was Zimond. Well done Andreas
hope you win elite this week to show everyone what I'm gonna do in a while, and prove that you
are as good as I say you are.
marru: marru will I believe play in the elite league within 10 to 15 weeks. Also a player
developing her game at a rapid speed, getting more secure in her offence and getting a little
more mean on the table as well, more defence from marru these days and if she developes that
as well she will be a contender in the elite league, playing alongside with andreas, Zimond,
A Proud Romanista!! and so on! Go marru.
Mr Daydreamer: Well, what am I gonna say about my self? Temporary out of order lol
But who is to fix me? I have no idea what I'm doing on the couronne board right now, can't sweep,
play awfully bad losing games I simply will not tolerate to lose. I can't say I'm working on it
though, I lack the interest right now, only motivation I have been able to find last few days is
the qualifying group, I have no idea where the motivation comes from but it's there.
Keep up the spirit everyone, and remember to have fun :)
So long // Mr Daydreamer
Marru about Couronne and Gammon league!
Couronne League
Third week in div 1.
Heey!
Now I've played my most games in div 1 this week, only got 1 game left and that
is against Kokkinos.
Didnt go so well this week, either? ;)
I have 2-6 in games and here you can see my result:
Havent been too focused, but sure practice makes perfect :D
Btw, congrats MASTERHAND for you just were down in div 1 for a week and went straight up to elite again!=)
seems like you will stick around there next week too! :)
Couronne ligan
Tredje veckan i Div 1.
Heej!
Nu har jag spelat de flesta av mina matcher i div 1 den här veckan, har bara en match kvar och det
är mot Kokkinos.
Gick inte så bra den här veckan heller va?;)
Jag har 2-6 i matcher och här ser du mitt resultat:
Har inte varit så himla fokuserad, men träning ger färdighet :D
Förresten, grattis till dig MASTERHAND som var nere i div 1 för en vecka för att du tog dig upp till eliten
direkt igen =)
Ser ut som att du blir kvar där nästa vecka med! :)
BACKGAMMON!
Now I have been in div 1 for too many weeks, always had a good chance to get back to elite but I havent because
I never had a chance to play all my games!! :(
(Havent got up to elite again since I joined gammon lg after a break, and it feels like that was ages ago)
I dont think the Gammon league are the same anymore! It is so hard to catch ppl in the league, and some get up to div 1. that really cant play the game good, they just get a spot cause the good players resign for some reasons! Bad!
Well... Is it my turn now? Hope so =D
Where are you Battie, I need you ^^,
BACKGAMMON
Nu har jag varit i div 1 för många veckor, har alltid haft en bra chans att ta mig tillbaka till eliten igen
men det har jag inte gjort för att jag inte haft chansen att spela alla mina matcher :(
(Har inte kommit upp till eliten sen jag gick med i gammon ligan efter att ha tagit en paus, och det känns som att det var åratal sedan)
Jag tycker inte att gammon ligan är detsamma längre! Det är så svårt att få tag på folk i ligan, och vissa kommer upp till div 1. som verkligen inte kan spela spelet bra utan får en plats bara för att de bra spelarna gått ur för vissa anledningar! Dåligt!
Jaja...Är det min tur nu? Hoppas det =D
Var är du Battie, Jag behöver dig ^^,
Sooo if I dont get back to elite in gammon soon I will look like this:
Sååå om jag inte kommer upp i eliten i gammon snart igen så kommer jag se ut såhär:
Byeebye / Marru

Namnlek
Jag skulle vilja leka en namnlek, med början på bokstaven A.
Leken går till på följande sätt, jag skriver ner den första spelaren
jag kommer på som börjar med bokstav A, och plitar ner vad jag tycker/vet
om personen i fråga.
Sen får nästa person fortsätta på den sista bokstaven i spelarens nick,
så spinner vi vidare på detta ;)
Den första spelaren jag kommer att tänka på bokstaven A är andreasaswardh,
tycker att han är en schysst prick, och ruskigt bra på couronne :)
Vilken person är den första du kommer att tänka på bokstav H, skriv o berätta :)
Have fun / Katjziska
MrD delar med sig åsikter om dagens landskamp.
Jag skulle härmed vilja säga några ord om den stundande landskampen.
Som jag givetvis tycker att alla ska komma och kolla på :)
Till en början vill jag snacka lite om det Svenska laget.
Jag tycker att Sverige har en stark trupp, har väl varit starkare förr men
den ska vara fullt duglig för en vinst mot vilken shockplay nation som helst.
Truppen:
Starkaste kortet är Zimond, det råder det nog inget tvivel om tror jag. En ohyggligt
stabil spelare med stor repertoar, framför allt vad det gäller offensiven, men har
även fina taktiska färdigheter, enormt svårslagen. Kommer tror jag vinna mot
King Elvis 2 raka. Vet inte mycket om King Elvis, verkar vara en bra spelare, men Zimme
kommer han inte rubba.
Starkast efter Zimond är enligt mig inte heller någon tvekan om i dagsläget, andreasaswardh.
Har utvecklats mycket som spelare, framför allt offensivt. Han är dessutom en av dom absolut
bästa på det taktiska spelet vid tap breaks, han kommer inte vika ner sig, bra beslut av
DaCa som kunde tagits för länge länge sen. Andreas motståndare Cardiak, bra spelare,
men vad jag vet inte så pigg på det taktiska spelet, en nackdel när man möter Andreas
helt klart.
GodisGuden är alltid och kommer alltid vara GodisGuden, finns inte så himla mycket nytt
att säga om honom, han lär ju vara lika grym som alltid, dom få som lyckas vara grymmare
i dagsläget är dom två ovanstående. Eloge till Godis dock för att kunna hålla spelet på
den nivå han gör trots att jag tycker han är online mindre nu för tiden. Han vinner också,
Mingle har sina tricks i skjortärmen men en taggad Godis är rätt seg o hal ;)
Puffe, ja Puffe lirar du tillräckligt för att vara en toppspelare? Jag är tveksam, inte
mött Puffe nu på länge i några allvarligare sammanhang så svårt att göra en utvärdering. Men
kan inte tänka mig han når upp till sin gamla goda form, men jag har gärna fel.=D Kom igen
Puffe! Men..... han möter Englands överlägset bästa spelare, dessutom en spelare som verkar
ha hittat glädjen i spelet återigen. Cronos vet ni alla att jag pratar om, vem som helst
skulle få problem med en Cronos i storform. Smart drag av England sätta honom mot Puffe?
Det visar sig....
Päron, roligt att Päron kom med i landslaget faktiskt, lite oväntat från min sida. Men jag
tror Päron kommer göra riktigt bra ifrån sig, tycker att han har en likvärdig motståndare
så kommer bli en rolig match att följa. Hoppas Päron har en av sina bättre dagar på couronne
bordet för då blir det åka av..
Givetvis kommer Sverige att få kämpa, England är nog näst efter Sverige det bästa landet
representerat på shockplay.
Men mitt tips lyder England-Sverige 1-4
Match för match
Cronos-Puffe 2-1
andreasaswardh-Cardiak 2-0
King Elvis-Zimond 0-2
Päron-Dandare 2-1
Mingle-GodisGuden 1-2
Publikrekordet på shockplay är 37 stycken om jag minns rätt.
Nu tycker jag att vi visar vårat intresse för denna landskamp och slår det gamla rekordet.
Det börjar ju onekligen med en otroligt kul fajt mellan två giganter.
21.00 börjar Cronos v Puffe, missa inte det. Får England den start dom räknar med där kanske
dom kan skrälla?
Men viktigast av allt är givetvis att detta ska vara roligt. Inga huliganbråk :)
På återhörande
Martin aka Mr Daydreamer
MrD shares his oppinions about todays friendly game against England.
Hearby I would like to say a few words about the friendly game tonight.
As of course as many of you as possible should go watch. :)
Let me start by talking about the swedish team.
I believe that Sweden has a very strong troup, might have been even stronger before but
should be good enough to beat any shockplay nation as of today.
The troup.
The troups strongest name is Zimond, I think there is no doubt about that. An extremly
stable player with a big repertoire, mainly when it comes to the offencive game, but he
have very nice tactical skills, extremly hard to beat. He is, I think gonna beat King Elvis.
in two straight matches.
I don't know much about King Elvis, seems to be a good player, but he will not trouble
Zimme.
The strongest player after Zimond in my opinion, and I have no doubts about that either
is andreasaswardh.
He has developed a lot as a player, mainly in his offence. On top of that he is one of the
players when it comes to the tactical game when tap breaking, he will not be knocked down :)
Good decition by DaCa, 1 he could have taken a long time ago. Andreas opponent Cardiak,
good player, but from what I know he is not to kean on the defencive/tactical game,
big disadvantage when you play Andreas, no doubt.
GodisGuden always is and will always be GodisGuden, there is not terribly much new to say about
him, he will for sure be as mean as always, the few players that manage to be meaner up to
date are the two above. Praise to Godis, to manage to keep the game at the same level
depite the fact that he is less online nowadays. He will win though.
Mingle has a few up his sleave but a Godis on fire is pretty viscous and slippery ;)
Puffe, well Puffe are you playing enough to be concidered a top player? I have doubts, aint
met Puffe in a long time under any serious circumstances so it's hard to make an evaluation.
But I can't imagine that he measures up to his old self. Allthough I'll be glad to be wrong.=D
Come on Puffe! But..he will play Englands "King of couronne", furthermore a player that seems
to have found the joy in the game again. You all know I'm talking about Cronos.
Anyone would hav a problem with a Cronos playing at his best. Smart move by England matching
him against Puffe, time will tell......
Päron, nice that Päron made the national team actually, a bit unexpected if I may say. But
I believe Päron will do real good, in my opinion he has an equivalent opponent which means
it will be a fun game to watch. I hope Päron has one of his better days at the couronnetable
cause then your in for a ride..
Of course Sweden is gonna have to fight, England ought to be the best nation after Sweden,
represented on shockplay.
But here is the result as I think it will be England-Sweden 1-4
Match by match
Cronos-Puffe 2-1
andreasaswardh-Cardiak 2-0
King Elvis-Zimond 0-2
Päron-Dandare 2-1
Mingle-GodisGuden 1-2
The audience record so far is 37 if I recall right.
Now I think it is time to show our interest in this "friendly" fight and sweep away that
old record.
Without a doubt it starts off with a very fun game between two giants.
9.00pm starts Cronos v Puffe, don't miss it. If England gets the start they are counting on,
might they be able to surprise us?
But most important of course is to have fun. No fighting :)
Talk to ya later
Martin aka Mr Daydreamer
05-08 Who is Daca?
Tjaba, Jens är jag döpt till enligt mor min =)
Har du familj?
Japps, jag har fru och 2 döttrar på 2.5 resp. 1 år, gifte mig förra sommaren =)
Så det är inte lönt för andra tjejer att dregla på muskelpaketet då?
Ja vad brukar man säga?, Se men inte röra, hahaa
Vågar man fråga vad du tar i bänkpress och benböj?
Benböj är jag klen i, men eftersom jag tävlar i styrkelyft/bänkpress så har jag ju tränat det i många år så mitt personliga rekord i -82,5 kg´s klassen är 180 kilo.
Vad har du för mål med styrketräningen, nått speciellt mål du tänkt uppnå innan du trappar ner?
Mitt mål är just nu att kvala in till SM och väl där så får det gärna gå så bra som top 5. Och mitt andra mål i år är att vinna DM.
Vad pysslar du med under dagarna jobbar eller går i skola?
Jag jobbar heltid som bagare sen 11 år tillbaka.
När och hur hamnade du på shockplay?
Jag reggade mitt första konto "JooP" i oktober 2003 och sen kom DaCa till i januari 2004.
det är helt och fullt puffes fel att jag finns på shockplay. jag spelade mycket counterstrike innan shockplay, men puffe tjatade så mycket att jag skulle börja spela,
och en dag var jag hemma hos han och såg att han spelade ligamatch mot jaya the cat. Och då "sög" det till ordentligt i tävlingsnerven så jag var tvungen att iaf testa spelaet en gång,
och vart fast direkt.
Minns du första gången du var upp i eliten o vann div 1 med 8-1 vem du loosa mot?
Jag minns min väg till eliten med mitt första konto JooP. Det gick ganska fort att ta sig hela vägen upp men väl där så vart det tvärstopp. Jag hoppade av ligan när DaCa kom till men tog mig upp igen sen.
Vem jag fick stryk av vet jag inte, men jag vet att mitt första guld fick jag på samma slutpoäng som sese (vi dela guldet). vi hamnade på 8-1. Det var midsommar 2004 och jäklar vad glad jag var =)
Och det roligaste med alltihop var att jag fick mitt första guld FÖRE puffe som hade tjatat in mig på shockplay, och det har han fått höra många gånger. hehe
Hur kom det sig att du blev admin från första början och anledningen till att det just blev du?
Jag startade ju clubcouronne som jag drev med framgång ca ett halvår. Sen fick jag barn och mindre tid över så jag fick lägga ner det.
När jag sen startade upp med couronne igen så frågade jag rocketman kort o gott om han ville ha hjälp eftersom det var många som skickade frågor om shockplay till mig.
Så mitt första uppdrag var att fungera som en online support, och uppdraget har väl växt på sig allt eftersom.
Jag har vart och träffat rocketman vid 2 tillfällen i sthlm och sett shockplay från "insidan" och styrkan på raketspel är verkligen riktigt trevliga.
Och det lustiga var att det kändes som att man klev in i shockplay, bildligt talat hehe..
Du la pinnen på hyllan men efer att vissa personer tjatat på att du skulle börja om på nytt är det nåt du ångrar? Eller tycker det är rätt kul ändå?
Jag hade aldrig börjat igen om jag inte kände att jag återigen fått tid för det. Och efter mycket uppskattning att jag kom tillbaka så är det såklart kul att fortsätta.
Men det är verkligen mycket mer jobb än vad en del tror. Ibland får man trampa folk rejält på tårna och ibland blir folk glada när något beslut jag tar faller i deras "favör" osv.
Man får mycket ris och ros så att säga hehe.. Och det var ju förövrigt genom dig Mats som jag fick reda på att läget inte var det bästa på shockplay under en tid. Och det bidrog ju till att jag kom tillbaka.
Du ska ha en eloge för att shockplay iaf på couronne delen blivit lite mer drag i!!
Golden framförallt just nu, träningslandskamper,vm i september,bloggar att yttra sig i,egen radio på gång. Det har hänt en hel del trots att version 3 av shock dröjer det måste kännas lite kul?
Japps det är kul, jag är ju en tävlingsmänniska enda ut i fingertopparna. Det är mycket däför jag ordnar med tävlingar och så tycker jag det är lite synd när det finns så många möjligheter på shockplay som inte utnyttjas,
såsom att ordna med VM och andra tävlingar. Och många av er medlemmar ska ha en eloge, ni kommer med många bra idéer på evenemang osv.
Får vi dessutom in en radio så är det väl pricken över i =)
Version 3 väntar jag oxå med spänning på. Jag har tagit del av några av dom uppdateringar som kommer att bli, och det kommer bli bra!, riktigt bra.
Så många som undrar vad som kommer hända när version 3 av shockplay kommer igång och när, har du nått du kan avslöja tex tidsperspektivet när det rullar igång om du har nån nyhet du kan avslöja.
När det släpps vet inte ens grabbarna på raketspel, det återstår en del arbete efter vad jag förstår.
Och av dom saker jag tagit del av som jag sa, får jag tyvärr inte säga något, och det ska väl bli en överraskning oxå =)
Jag vet ju att du föredrar längre tävlingar bäst under längre tid, vad tycker du om korta tävlingar kanske såna på en 5 timmar och gärna med lagtävling, självklart fördelat så att det blir så rättvist som möjligt tex max 2 ifrån div 1 och elit uppdelat på kanske 8-10 deltävlingar tror många skulle gilla iden med lag och lag känslan. Det är ju det populäraste tex Blip har 10 lagtävlingar på bestämda dagar fast det är bg då, men tror det skulle funka bra även med corre hur tänker du så förutom mer jobb:)
Alla idéer är ju såklart välkomna, och jag föredrar lite längre tävlingar av främst 2 anledningar.
1.man ska få mkt av det goda under en längre tid så det kan bli mer spekulationer osv runt evenemanget.
2.Har man tävlingar under en längre period så ökar chansen att allt blir spelat och alla medlemmar får större chans att vara online samtidigt så matcher kan bli spelade.
Under 2008 är det nu iaf fullspäckat med tävlingar. Golden ska ju avgöras och tar slut i skiftet aug/sep. Sen blir det lag-VM.. Följt av individuella VM..
Raketspel håller på att utforma en speciell VM-pokal just nu oxå som man stolt kommer att bli ägare av om man når prispallen på VM =)
Vad gör du helst när du är ledig och inte tränar eller sitter vid datorn?
Då leker jag med mina 2 små döttrar eller ligger och latar mig i soffan framför tv:n.. Det blir några liveturneringar i min pokerförening oxå såklart =)
Tror själv med värvningar och version 3 + lite nya ideer att shock kan lyfta långt längre än när vi var gröna här o du fick spela alla matcher redan i div 6, håller du med på tanken?
Det är jag 100% säker på att det kommer att bli ett lyft med många fler medlemmar.
Jag tror att vi skulle kunna ha en liga som kan innehålla max antal div 6 grupper, absolut.
Vad betyder det att ha din bror nära och kunna få peppning och hjälp av när det går tungt?
Hehe, jadu. vi snackar såklart en del om shockplay eftersom vi jobbar på samma ställe. Men jag har nog en total avsaknad av både peppning och hjälp från hans sida numera =)
Men han kommer med många bra idéer, vi jobbade t.ex fram golden tillsammans och det är förövrigt han som kom på tourens namn, The Golden Tour.
Många som inte förstår hur mkt jobb det är du kanske kan avslöja tex hur många A4 ark, med ändringar och klagomål du hade bara första golden rundan?
Eftersom jag måste göra allt jobb manuellt så tar det lång tid. Första månaden var rent hysterisk men nu efter snart 3 månader så känns det helt ok.
Jag hade 3 stycken fulla A4 ark med notiser om allt strul från första månaden. Mest jobb är det iaf med omflyttningen då jag måste hålla reda på alla medlemmar och deras rankingpoäng osv.
Men jag klagar inte :) Det är hur kul som helst med golden.
Jag och många med mig hoppas du stannar kvar här ett bra tag till nu och närmsta tiden har du inte tänkt annat iallafall eller?
Ni kommer att få dras med mig ett tag till, japp =) Iaf så länge rocketman vill ha mig kvar på posten som admin.
Är du med till slutspel i golden + vem blir bäst i familjen?
Jag tror att jag kan få svårt att nå slutspelet tyvärr men jag ska göra mitt bästa. Bror min kommer iaf garanterat ta sig dit, och väl där så håller jag naturligtvis tummarna för honom. :)
Men jag tror det blir jämt och den bäste kommer såklart stå som vinnare till slut =)
Jag hoppas och tror det kommer bli ett stort lyft med sp 3 och att vi orkar ragga in folk så det blir som "gamla" tider, förhoppningsvis massa fler folk, tänk va kul med div 7-8 och flera 100 online alltid, tror mig veta att det är lite av drivkraften din?
Dom "gamla" tiderna kommer aldrig mer tillbaka, men vi kan ju alla tillsammans göra nutiden och framtiden minnesvärd =) Och med många eldsjälar som kan agera rekryterare för shockplay och med ett mer lockande upplägg på sidan så kommer säkeligen många fler gäster att registrera ett konto.
Och att vi ska kunna vara minst 100 online, det ser jag som en självklarhet. =)
Sen har du nått bra tips åt oss som sitter och får gnäll av,tjejer,sambos fruar , mammor hur löser du den sociala biten så du slipper världskrig?
Hehe, jadu svår fråga :) Jag har en snäll fru. Hon tycker iaf att det är helt ok att jag kör på med shockplay och hon ser väl det som positivt att mitt intresse kan utföras hemma istället för 5 timmar på golfbanan 4 gånger i veckan hehe..
Tack Jens för att du tog dig tid en stund och hoppas det flyter på lättare utan gnäll och såvidare så vi får behålla dig!
Intervjun är gjord av Mats och översättningen av Marru.
Hoppas att ni tyckte om det :)
Hey Daca! Whats your real name?
Tjaba, Jens according to my mom.
Do you have a family?
Yes, I got a wife and 2 daughters who are 2.5 and 1 years old, I got married last summer =)
So its not worth for other girls to drool over your muscles?
What is it you say?, You can look but not touch, hahaa
Do I dare to ask what you take in benchpress and squats?
Im weak in squats, but I have trained power-lifting/benchpress for many years because I compete
in it, so my personal record in 82,5 kilos class is 180 kilos.
What do you have for goal with your fitness training, any particular goal you want to achieve
before you scale down?
My goal right now is to qualify into Swedish Championchips and once being there it gladly can go
as as good as top 5. And my second goal this year is to win district championchips.
What do you to during the days, work or go to school?
I work fulltime as a baker since 11 years back.
When and how did you end up on shockplay?
I registered my first account "JooP" in october 2003 and DaCa came through in january 2004.
Its totally puffes fault I exict at shockplay. I played a lot counterstrike before shockplay,
but puffe nagged so much about that I should start playing, and one day when I was at his place
and saw him playing a leaguegame against jaya the cat. Then I felt very competitive so I felt
forced to try at least one game, I was hooked right away.
Do you remember the first time you got up to elite and won div 1 with 8-1, who did you loose
against?
I remember my way to elite with my first account JooP. It went quite fast to get the whole way
up but there it was dead stop. I resigned the league when Daca came through but made my way up
again later.
I dont remember who beat me, but I know that my first gold I got with same end score as sese (we
shared the gold). We both had 8-1. It was midsummer 2004 and darn I was happy =)
And the funniest with all of this was that I got my first gold BEFORE puffe that had nagged me
into shockplay, and that he has heard from me many times. hehe
How come you became admin from the beginning and whats the reason it was just you?
Why, I started Clubcouronne which I carried on with success for about six months.
And then I got kids and less time over so I had to let it down.
When I later got started up with couronne again I asked rocketman if he needed some help because
many sended me questions about shockplay.
So my first assignment was to work as a online support, and that assignment has grown along the
way.
I have visited rocketman two times in stockholm and seen shockplay from "the inside" the crew at
raketspel is really nice.
And the funny part is that it felt like I stepped in to shockplay, metaphorically speaking
hehe..
You put the cue on the shelf but after that some people nagged that you should start over and
you did, is it something you regret? Or do you think it is quite funny anyway?
I would never have start over again if I didnt felt that I once again got time for it.
Its of course fun to proceed after so much appreciating I got for getting back.
But it sure is much more work than some thinks. Sometimes I have to walk over people real bad
and sometimes people get happy when some decision I make "benefits them".
I get much good and bad responce hehe.. And by the way it was through you Mats I got to know
that all wasnt so good at shockplay for a while. And that contributed that I got back.
You get praise to that shockplay, in couronne however has more get a go!
Especially golden now, training friendly games, World Championchips in september, blogs to speak
up in, own radio on the way.
It must feel a bit fun that it has happen a whole lot dispite version 3 of shock delays?
Yes its fun, I am a competitive person from top to toe.
Its a lot therefore I fix competitions and I think its a bit of shame when there is so many
opportunities at shockplay that isnt used, like to fix a world championchip and other contests.
And many of you members should have praise too , you come with many good ideas about events and
so on.
If we furthermore get a radio that is the icing on the cake =)
I wait for version 3 with excitement. I have seen some of the updates that will happen, and it
till be good!, really good.
I know that you prefer longer contests, what do you think about short contests maybe suchlike 5 hours and gladly with teamcontests, of course divided so it is so fair as possible. For a example max 2 from div 1 and elite divided at maybe 8-10 events, think many would like this idea with teams and the team spirit.
That is the most popular , for a example Blip got 10 team contests on decided days but its backgammon there, but I think it would work good even with couronne- how do you think other than more work?
All ideas is of course welcome, and I prefer a bit longer contests for mainly two reasons.
1. You should get more of the good stuff under a longer time so it can be more speculations and so on around the event.
2. If you got contests under a longer time the chance rise that all games will be played and all members get a bigger chance to get to be online at the same time so all the games will be played.
Now under 2008 its full of contests. Golden is going to resolve and ends in the end of august/beginning of september.
And then its team world championchips.. followed by individual world championchips...
Raketspel is doing a special World championchip cup right now that you will be a proud owner of , if you get to the winners stand at the World Championchip.
What do you prefer to do on your free time when you are not working out or sitting by the computer?
Then I play with my 2 little daughters or lay in the sofa watching tv.. I play some livetournaments in my poker association too =)
I think that with recruits and version 3 + new ideas, shock can get up even higher than when we were new here and you got to play all games already in div 6, do you agree with this thought?
Im 100 % sure that it will be a rise with many more members.
I think that we could have a league that can contain max quantity 6 groups, absolutely.
What does it mean for you to have your brother near you and be able to get encourage and help when it doesnt go so good?
hehe, yea of course we talk about shockplay because we work at the same place.
But I probably got a total absence of both encourage and help from him nowadays =)
But he comes up with many good ideas, for a example we worked forth Golden together, by the way it was him that came up with the name, The Golden Tour.
There is many that doesnt understand how much work there is, maybe you can reveal how many A4 papersheets there was with changes and complaints in the first golden round?
It takes longer time because I have to do all work manually. The first month was hysterical but now after soon 3 months it feels ok.
I had 3 full A4 papersheets with notices with all the mess from the first month.
Its most job with the judgement day, I need to keep track on all the members and their rankingpoints and so on...
But I dont complain :) Its so much fun with golden.
Are you in the final plays in golden + whos gonna be the best in the family?
I think I will have a hard time to get to the finals but I will do my best. My brother will get there guaranteed, and when he gets I will cheer for him :)
But I think it will be a close call and the best will of course stand as winner eventually =)
I hope and think it will be a huge rise with sp 3 and that we will get more folks in so its like old times, hopefully with many more people, think how fun it would be with 7-8 div and several hundred online always, I think I know this is a driving force four you?
The old times will never come back again, but we can all together make the present time and the future rememerable =) And with many live wires that can act as recruits for shockplay and with a more apealing set-up on the site , surely more guests will register a account.
And that we should be at least 100 online I see as given.
Then do you got a tip for us that sits and gets grouch by our girlfriends,spouses, wifes, moms. How do you solve the social part so u dont need to face that?
hehe, hard question :) I got a nice wife. She thinks that its ok that I play at shockplay and that my interest kan be done at home instead for being 5 hours at the golf course 4 times a week hehe
Thanks Jens for your time for this and I hope it flow on easier without grouch and so on so we get to keep you!

LANDSKAMP 9/5-2008 KL.21:00 SWE-U.K
Det kommer att spelas 5 matcher i tur och ordning efter varandra. Varje match avgörs i bäst av 3 stycken 3setsmatcher. Det namnet (i listan på matcher nedan) som står först har "hemmaplan" och en favör i form av att han startar match 1 som grön. Match 2 (i den matchen) startar hemmaspelaren som röd, och i match 3 som grön. Lätt som en plätt :)
Nästkommande match startar hemmanationen som grön och sådär rullar det på.
Det land som först vinner 3 matcher har vunnit landskampen men vi kommer att spela alla 5 matcherna oavsett, lite för att det är kul, lite för statistikens skull osv :)
Landskampen är lottad, uttagen och klar, vilket jag och Mingle gemensamt gjort.
I tur och ordning spelas följande matcher:
Match 1: Cronos - Puffe
Match 2: andreasaswardh - Cardiak
Match 3: King Elvis - Zimond
Match 4: Päron - Dandare
Match 5: Mingle - Godisguden
Tänk nu på att allt är på skoj så inga gliringar huruvida vi kommer krossa, leka, ta hem det nästan för enkelt. Det är naturligtvis så att Sverige är världens bästa nation (se bara hur svårt det är att få en plats i laget).
Vi kommer dessutom att spela nästa landskamp Fredag 23/5 kl.20:00 mot Holland med cheese som kapten.
Detta gör jag av 2 anledningar.
1.Vi måste komma igång med att varje land har ett landslag, vilket gör hela shockplay intressantare =)
2.Jag måste se hur många nationer som kan skrapa ihop ett 5-mannalag inför kommande lag-VM i September.
Ses på Fredag och skicka in så många som möjligt i publiken på Fredag oxå :)
Like all probably nows so is it a training contest on friday 9.00pm.
Sweden vs England.
Its goning to been 5 games played after ich other.
Every game been played best off 3 games with 3 sets games.
That name one the list who stand first have played "home" and have the profit to start game 3 as green.
That country who been first to 3 set have won, but all games should been played.
The contest is drawn lots alreadu wich Daca and mingle have done toghether.
Game 1. Cronos-Puffe
Game 2. Andreasswardh-Cardiak
Game3. King Elvis-Zimond
Game4. Päron-Dandare
Game5. Mingle-godisguden
We coming also play next contest against Netheland fri 23/5 with cheese as captain.
I will do that for 2 reasons.
1. WE must come started that every country have a national team.For to get shockplay more interessting.
2. And also se how meny countrys who could make a good team until Word championship in september.
Hope meny come in and look on friday, but remember its for fun so bee quiet and fair....
Cya there Daca and

05-03 Hektor in spotlight his couronne story
Grab your popcorn, lean backward and enjoy, here is the story!:
My little Couronne story
My first contact with Couronne came from my older brother who introduced me to the free-of-charge site http://www.couronne.nu/. It was a really popular site which they eventually had to close down due to its high maintenance cost. Raketspel seems to refuce ads on their sites, which to me is ludicrous, I believe Shockplay would be a huge international site if they funded it with ads and made if free-of-charge. I was really terrible back then, when I played my brother we just pushed each other's chips behind the line. Neither of us really knew how to get them out of there so a one set game could last 30 minutes. But we had lots of fun, I guess I took a liking to it more than he did.
When they had closed, I kind of quit playing Couronne and took up my Warcraft 3 career again which had been on ice. But it wouldn't last long till I got curious of Shockplay. Back then they had a free week tryout, I took the offer and I was really impressed with the site. When the week was up I paid for another month, I was hooked. My first day at Shockplay, I believe was around the 10th of May 2003. One of my first games was against Rocketman, I was extremely impressed with his skills and wanted to beat him badly, when my brother joined the site we kind of competed to be the first one to beat him. My brother won that when he beat Rocketman two weeks later or something like that.
The first couple of weeks I didn't progress much. I just played with the first few friends I had at Shockplay for fun. But then I started beating a couple of good players which made me want to be even better. My points started increasing (points were the only way of measuring the skill of a player back then) and soon I found myself being in the top 15. At this time I had my first encounter with the two high score leaders, Royal and Ugglepuffe, to my surprise, I managed to play 2-2 in games against Royal and I believe I beat Ugglepuffe. I do remember though that I got really pissed at Puffe, I thought he was a prick cause he was talking too much, saying stuff like "nice shot!" and "you're so good" on almost every shot which I think is really lame, because most people who are competitive only do those things to annoy their opponent. I don't know his motives but at the time I thought he was a prick.
As the summer passed I kept climbing the high score list. At this time I had my first encounter with Inqy who was a real legend, he was the player who was the reigning champion of Couronne Masters. I had seen his cool trophy in his profile so I challenged him immediately. I remember asking him about that trophy and how he got it. I finished the game by telling him, next time it's going to be me! He didn't care too much about it because I wasn't all that good then. But we kept playing a lot and became good friends, we practiced a lot against each other and exchanged ideas about the game.
At the end of the summer, they introduced the Shocking News! at the frontpage of the site. They published clean sweeps and stuff like that. They didn't count them until a few weeks later. It was a really cool feature back then that they started counting sweeps which gave all the top players a new incentive to keep on pushing their game. After the first day, Jaya the Cat lead the charts with something like 12 sweeps, followed by Matrix Power and me. The following day Jaya didn't play that much and I took the lead with Matrix Power right behind me. After that I didn't let go of it for two years or something like that.
Matrix Power was sort of my nemesis on Shockplay. We we're rivals, both of us were fairly new but had advanced to the top during the summer of 2003. We played a lot against each other and pushed each other to become even greater. Hands down he is certainly one of the best players I've ever played and a really cool guy. He had a big mouth but that's okay when you can walk the walk.
At this time, the beginning of the fall of 2003, we got a new member at Shockplay who would really stir things around. S-M-V came over for a visit from Miniclip, there had been a lot of talk about him by the people who played at both sites. My first encounter with him ended by he beating me badly 2-0 in games. I was thinking to myself, who is this guy? He truly pushed you to be at you're a-game or you'd lose. Second time around I came out on top, I had managed to read his game and was able to take advantage of his weaknesses. I still think that he is one of the greatest to have ever played this game, he later changed his name to Cyclone although he never admitted it, at first Cyclone claimed not being from the same country, although his IP said he was from Bahrain like S-M-V. He later said he was S-M-V's son or something like that. Although I still to this day believe they are the same person.
Back to the stir S-M-V brought with him, some of the players at Miniclip had discovered that if you have two mice with a ball inside them you could remove the wheel spinning sideways, by plugging in both of them you had a straight shooting mouse and a normal one. I became aware of this fact by one of those players who played at Miniclip, I immediately believed this to be cheating, went to Rocketman to make him aware of this glitch, I also made the entire Shockplay community aware of the cheat. Mostly to make Rocketman act as fast as he could, I also came up with a solution to the problem, Rocketman was not as convinced by it as I was, he believed a lot of the more non-serious players would be annoyed and start complaining. It would take months and months before he implemented the Random Angle Fix.
The league started later that fall, I had been chosen to beta-test it and played alright there, didn't take it too seriously. When the actual league started I was stoked, didn't expect that much. But I wanted to finish in the top 3. To my surprise, I managed to be at my a-game that week and won all nine games. It really pleased me to have won the first league week ever and tried to focus on keeping my game up for next week. Although I lost one game the second week to Puffe, I managed to win the remaining eight games so I won again.
At this time I managed to convince my long time friends GodisGuden and sese to come join Shockplay. They had mocked me playing Couronne for a long time. They were playing "real games" like Counter Strike. GodisGuden and I met nine years ago while we were 15 years old playing Starcraft: Brood Wars online, since then we have met in real life a couple of times. Sese and I met eight years ago also playing Starcraft and the three of us has been really close friends ever since. At the beginning they were like my Guinea Pigs for practicing against, but they picked up the game really fast and were elite players after only a month or two at Shockplay.
During week four or five of the league, The Wolf got really mad at me during a league game because I refused to talk during games believing it to be rude to speak while someone else was playing. He was of the exact opposite opinion believing one should give credit to people after they did a great shot. He gathered up his posse of friends and they all accused me of cheating, abusing the straight shooting glitch. They convinced a bunch of people that I was cheating, how else could anyone win every week of the league. I responded to their slander at the forums and I got a lot of support from a lot of the respected guys at Shockplay. I sort of shook the most of it away after a week or two. While some to this day still believes that I cheated. My quest to fix the cheat had backfired at me. People who would have never known about this glitch if it hadn't been for me letting them know about it accused me of cheating. It was really annoying to me since I had really been pushing Rocketman to implement the fix while they were trash talking me behind my back and accusing me of cheating.
I sort of shook it off eventually, it took a couple of weeks. The seventh week of playing I only finished 4th in the league. I had been hospitalized for 3 days at the beginning of the week and wasn't able to play all that well when I got back. The week after that I managed to win again. But Matrix Power had improved his game a lot and won the 9th week.
The weeks progressed and I was waiting for the next Couronne Masters to come. It's early 2004 by now and I really wanted to get that trophy I had told myself to win the next time I got the chance. The league wasn't that fun anymore I wanted a bigger challenge. Since there was a lot of rivalry between Miniclip and Shockplay, Rocketman decided to invite everyone from Miniclip and Shockplay to participate in the tournament. It was named Shockplay Vs. Miniclip and was replacing Couronne Masters that year. It would take place in March to April of 2004 if I don't recall wrong. All the best players from both communities were participating in a showdown. Eventually Shockplay slaughtered Miniclip only sending 2 or 3 players to the final 16 round where none managed to stay in the top eight. In my first game I believe I played Cronos, I won, that's about all I remember.
Next game, in the semifinal I was facing sese. He had me by the balls that game, I believed I was losing it badly, I was down two to nothing in a best of seven game. He was just playing better than me, he was simply amazing. I couldn't get a grip of the game, but fighting for the third set, his temper got the best of him, missing an easy shot he got pissed and just wanted to leave, he started to get anxious and I managed to come back and win the game. Sese later joined the league where he had won all eight games, when he lost his ninth he resigned from the league, that's the kind of temper he had.
On the other side of the bracket, GodisGuden had beaten The Wolf in the other semifinal. So I was facing him in the final game of the tournament. I prepared as much as I possibly could to beat him off as GodisGuden was really amazing. Back then he actually played strategically too, he pushed and had marks for most shots. This game went exactly the way I wanted it and I managed to win 4-0. So there we had it I had won the Couronne Masters followed by my two closest online friends GodisGuden and sese, who had beaten The Wolf in the bronze medal game. Even though GodisGuden never really enjoyed pushing or doing gentle breaks he can still outshine almost anyone even when playing stoned or drunk. Amazing sweeper, he truly deserves the spot as the sweep king of Shockplay.
I had reached my goal to win the next Couronne Masters just as I had told Inqy, I was extremely pleased with myself to have reached my goal in Couronne. I had won 20 out of the first 25 weeks in the league. I had somewhere around 1500 sweeps, the runner up had around 600. I felt I had nothing left to prove to myself in this game. I left the league and after this I have only played sporadically. I have been in the Backgammon league where I've won one week. I was the admin of the Couronne league for a while and the Backgammon league for 101 weeks.
Well that's the story of my couronne career, hope you enjoyed reading about it.
Best regards,
Hektor
