courteous but not necessary to give a reason.. A polite No thank you or anything at all. You might not like the person so telling them that would hurt their feelings lol but still courteous to decline with some type of text
Your missing the point Tonyh. If someone declines an invite, they must have taken the time in the first place to read it. To use your example, you wouldnt answer the phone and just put it straight down again!
Fencer, I understand why not to change users' id's. the user id in question is "dragon". I want to change my name to this. at IYT one can change their main name, so you could be playing against lots of people with the same name.
what im saying is, it is the user id that is fixed at IYT, but the name is what is displayed and able to be changed. confusing i know!
Just a short note to say that this site is wonderful. But it would be even better if there is someway that the colour of the board and pieces can be altered to suit individual players as some of us have visual problems.
I can't see the Black pawns very well on the Brown Squares! It there anyway that I can change the board color or put a bit of white in the black pawns.
Hello , Brainking.com is a very good place for playing correpondencechess, -variants and other boardgames.But I have two criticpoints : The variants "Maharadja Chess"(Good for Black) and "Horde Chess"(Good for White) are not balanced.
And I would be glad if I could play some of my favourite variants with the technics of Brainking.com.Some of them are "Januschess", "Omegachess", Great Chess.Is tis possible?
You can see the pictures,the "Presets" and the rules on my page http://schach.kreuzeruwe.de
Greetings Uwe
Not too sure about this invite thing. Think about a telephone ringing. Must one answer it? Is it rude not to answer it? similarly with e-mails. It's seems odd that a guy doesn't deal with invites - but surely that is his/her business.
Fencer, can you change the setting's so user's can have the same Id as another. I want to change my name, but somebody has it, and they have not returned to the site for 2 months.
To Mikumon: O.K. I forgive you for this one time.
Maybe I am raised "old fashioned" but when I receive an invite I accept or I decline and give a reason why I am declining. For me that is normal behaviour
Yes i agree...Thank you so much to all who run this site. I love it here. This site is awsome. Keep up the good work and thanks for all the time and effort you put into this site. Its most appreciated!!!
Thank you for your help and sorry for taking up the time on the board.. sniff sniff.. I was an enemy and a friend! hrmph! I will try to be a better friend.. sniff! lol
OK Ravi time to bombard you with invites!!!
no dont think.. cuz she sent me an invite just after I wrote this and I have her down as a friend but you know she just doesnt show up in my friend list.. i cant figure out why.. thanks for the thought tho.. cant hurt to double check.. but if she sent me a game id have to be on yer pal list correct?

Have tried a few times to invite a friend Raviloi ruby to a game. it starts to put me thru the invite and I click what game type, then when i click send it pops up to the list of game types.. so i try to invite her from there and click on list of pals ( which she is in ) but her name isnt listed... help! There is no way even if i try to invite her to a game from the message box of an old game can i send one out to her
As a token of gratitude, for all Fencer has done on this site to make it a great place to play & make new pals I thought now is a good time for us to start telling him on here on these boards.
So far a great job & can only get better in time.
Thanks Fencer.
Elma, Czechs are not raised to offend people.In the case of this man...I think he doesn't want to neither ignore you nor decline you...he wants to play with you as soon as he finish one of his games and then he can accept your invitation. This is what I think is going on. People do that sometimes to me...they kind of put me into waiting line...well, that's ok with me...if I do not want to wait...I just cancel invitation. Do not put him into your enemies, please...he is a good man...better...write him letter that it upsets you.I think he is not aware of you being offended right now.
sometimes a backgammon board is the correct position, the bearing off is to the right === but other boards are bearing off to the left, which is so confusing. will someone please explain if this is going to be something we have to get used to or if I missed the post, I am sorry, I would hope that all variants of backgammon would have the same set up.
Sorry i meant the Add to friends & Add to enemies options when loading your profile.:) - Looks like he speaks English, so that can't be why.! - I can't see him deliberatly ignoring u.:)
Ian, the is no "ignore button" just accept or decline.
Eddie, the player is a Brain Rook but also if he has not enough room for an other game he can decline the invitation!
Maybe a daft question but are u sure he understands English.? - Also If he accidentally clicked Ignore instead of add to Friends, would he still see your invite.???
I am playing Maharajah chess against one of the prominent players ont this site and invited him to play an other game with changed colours.
"Normal behaviour" according to the way i am brought up is accept or decline the invitation instead of ignore it. This player has played at least 10 moves in the other game, so he must have seen the invitation. Is this the way Czech people are raised?????????
Goonerg, I just tried it, all the games are included, and the only thing you can do is delete the whole tournament once its created. If you do one watch the BKR, its set quite high, it might need to be made lower so people can sign up!!
Its the same set-up as the tourney thats running now, it will just have your name at the top!
Can You define a torney to be of just one game type? or will all games be included? And also, If if set one up and want to change it Can I do that before anyone signs up. Sorry to bother you, But I don't want to start something wrongly!
