Wow, then OP you might just need to remove a couple links, bonus.
Eccentric indeed I stand corrected. With an SS the tension is not as critical an issue as with a FG obviously and thus my last choice when messing around with tension is messin' with the BB. You're speaking of a dropout hanger mounted tensioner on the road style frame? I have one on my SS MTB, but just don't like 'em on the road SS. As it I want to get rid of the tensioner on the MTB, BUT.... it's gotta stay for the time being.
ive got an eccentric hub on my fixed gear and its actually really simple to set (and there is no way to install the wheel crooked)
yeah i was referring to a derailer hanger mounted tensioner. i'm assuming his bike has a hanger (vertical dropout) i agree they are not the best looking but there is something to be said with the reliability and simplicity of it. just put the wheel in and go!
i do agree that tension is not as critical on a single speed though so a half link may be "close enough"
