Logs of finished games of a particular variant seem inaccessible via "All Games on Game Courier" at this point. When one clicks on the highlighted 'Number' to see the logs of finished games of a particular variant, one is referred by a link back to uncompleted games currently still being played of various variants. Although, finished games of a variant can be accessed another way, by looking at them via the Game Logs filter. However, if one wishes, say, to provide a link, to get to a page of just all finished games of a particular variant, on a CVP webpage (or e.g. external blog), then at least in the past I found linking to the search result page of the Game Logs filter would later in fact not show the desired finished game logs page, if someone clicked on such a link.
They are permitted but not supported. For example, you are permitted to fly like a bird, but you are not able to. I would like to add multi-player support, but it's not a simple feature to add. It would involve rewriting much of how Game Courier works.
Does anyone know if actual multi-opponent (i.e. 3 or more player) games are permitted by Game Courier (and if so, please confirm my guess that they are not permitted to be rated games by Game Courier's rating system). I've spotted the odd 4 handed partnership variant as having been played on Game Courier, but it was always the case that just two players were playing, with each player controlling two of the four armies at the start of the game.
1. The Logs page shows all four. This page includes several filters, and you have to make sure none are excluding any games. 2. A log can be deleted by either of the players. When you view a list of your games on the Logs page, there will be an extra column for deleting them. If you're asking about deleting a settings file for a game, there is no provision for that short of an editor manually doing it.
I have 2 questions for Fergus: 1) At the moment the "number" of games for the variant "Sac Chess" [i.e. games counted as finished!?] shows as 3, when I believe there have only been 2 finished at this point (and 2 more are currently being played, one of which was by a personal invitation). Is there something I'm missing? 2) Not quite sure this is the right thread to ask under, but in the event that a game is found wanting for any reason, can it be deleted from Game Courier (& by who)? A trivial example of why this might be desirable is an old chess variant (using standard chess' setup & piece movement rules) that I once read about in a book. The variant was called something like "Check!", the object of which was to deliver the first (and only) check of the game, winning immediately. It turns out that White wins by force in something like 5 moves if he plays 1.Nc3. Such a variant, if it existed on Game Courier, would be a prime candidate to be deleted, I would think.

That has been fixed. I corrected the link to point to the new logs page with the correct parameters.
