Do you miss something on BrainKing.com and would you like to see it here? Post your request into this board! If there is a more specific board for the request, (i.e. game rule changes etc) then it should be posted and discussed on that specific board.
Walter Montego: Correct about the drawback, e.g. N(B1)-N3. It's much easier to read though in my opinion. If I have to play it out on a board I'm very slow with the algebraic notation.
i think that's much easier as well, though i rememeber all caps, so P-K4 and R-N3 etc. I remember the old Kt-B4 as well (lol), but I think N is better for a knight.
Walter Montego: Walter, I think your idea is a good one, but you have to lighten up a little. in the context of the messages leading up o it, Bruno's post was quite brilliantly timed I think.
danoschek: Whatever the reason for using cloak is, it is nothing to do with privacy. That is handled by the fact that the usernames are anonymous.
If anyone can prove me wrong by messaging me my SSN or address or some other private information go ahead.
Fencer: Even so, privacy in it's legal and only really important sense, applies to such things as financial data and personal information such as addresses and phone numbers.
The fact that I know that some anonymous person with a brainking username of Mongoloid is browsing a discussion board is NOT a privacy issue, it is an insane paranoia issue.
Czuch Chuckers: I think it's a good point though. My kids certainly haven't been permanently damaged by the odd word that others are offended by. In fact I've always found that certain adults are far more affected than kids.
By the way I'm offended by the mention of praying, could a moderator please remove all references to deities?
Walter Montego: THis is feature requests. It was posted previously on Feature Discussions. Perhaps the discussion could move there where my posts won't be deleted quite so quickly.
Well I've played quite a lot of games and made quite a lot of posts on various boards and nobody has said anything to me that bothers me, or even made reference to what I was doing.
I guess I'm just not a good target for harrassment or something?
reza: I was just curious if there was a site that had a realtime version with clocks etc. I haven't seen one yet. Not that I have the time for such distractions very often anyway...
Fencer: I agree. I think I speak for many when I say pro-backgammon is a higher priority than organizing the home page of people who play too many games!
Maybe even fixing the BG bug would be considered?
So if the game has a 3 day limit and you went on vacation after 2 days, when you come back there is still only one day left. This is how autovac should work.
Also autovac shouldn't be allowed if the player has logged in that day in my opinion, that invalidates the reason (emergency etc). If you're playing too many games timeouts are a fact of life.
ON the subject of final rounds, I would like to be able to choose the method. For instance 3 wins is unfair to black in some games, so here 2 or 4 games may be fairer, or play consecutive games with a split leading to another round (much quicker to play the games concurrently).
My opponent seems to have been rated correctly, but I should have lost points by splitting the games against an opponent rated below me. Both our ratings were well established.
I'd like to know why this happens. I lost and then won against an opponent rated more than 200 points lower than me, yet I ended up better off than before. As did my opponent! ???
here they are
sLaMdAnCe is the winner.
sLaMdAnCe: old BKR = 1725, new BKR = 1760 (+35)
grenv: old BKR = 1992, new BKR = 1975 (-17)
Game type: Hyper Backgammon
You are the winner.
grenv: old BKR = 1975, new BKR = 1994 (+19)
sLaMdAnCe: old BKR = 1760, new BKR = 1727 (-33)
AbigailII: schemingmind.com has 5 days + 12 hours per move. This is plenty of time in my opinion. In fact I'd rather it was 1 day + 6 hours per. How about making it configurable?
Hrqls: The problem with that logic is that those players you know you can't beat are probably rated way higher than you (else how do you know?). This means that losing against them won't affect your BKR anyway. Winning against low rated players doesn't help your rating.
No, we're talking about that number of vacation days, not the amount of time on individual games. If he gets to 0 vacation days he shouldn't get autovac.
His time on the games ticked over yesterday, but he still has 21 days of vacation left. These games will never end!!!!!
