1. Stabbeurfou the site
1.1 Intoduction to StabbeurFou site
The stabbeurfou expression means Mad Stabber, the stabbeur word
being a French (neologism) transcription of the English word.
1.2 Description of StabbeurFou site
*Stabbeurfou is the only known web based system with automatic
adjudication offering an interface in several languages (French and
English at the present time.)*
Here are some of the advantages of a automaton adjudicator :
o The time consuming effort of adjudication is saved,
o Adjudications and games themselves - are more homogeneous,
o There can not be any adjudication error (or much fewer),
o There can not be any mis-orders, since orders are validated on
the spot - this is unhappy for experts in the field of false mis-orders,
though,
o All information is available to anyone in real time, and always
up to date,
o Anonymous press is possible (but not to the administrator of the
site.) Upon complain the site administrator may remove messages
(anonymous or not) that violate tournament or game requirements.
o *The human touch is not lost since there is still a human being
to care about the game and postpone the dead line on players request,*
Stabbeurfou also has the advantage to be designed with tournament play
in mind, several aspects of traditional play are also automatic, such as
(at least) :
o vote for ending of game,
o vote for secondary trophies,
o recall of late orders,
o detailed information about players,
o automatic email notification when orders are altered, new mail
in internal mailbox, deadline is approaching
Very flexible, Stabbeurfou lets players communicate either via e-mail
or with simple internal communication mailbox system.
Stabbeurfou has already hosted a the French speaking tournament
Interzines (10 teams), and much improved from the experience. The aim
of Interzines was to make various French communities to meet one
another. More information about the Interzines may be found (in
French) on the Interzines specific site :
http://membres.lycos.fr/interzines/
_Sidenote_ : Stabbeurfou also allows a manual mode, in which players
do not interface with the site but the Game Master himself (or herself)
enters the orders of the players
1.3 Games on Stabbeurfou site
