I vote for Abalone too. it looks fun.

15. януари 2005, 01:19:07

I would vote for Abalone. And then once it was introduced, then I would vote to put a Battleboat game on the "hex" board. :-)

15. януари 2005, 01:08:37

that game looks fun!

Относно: Abalone

i'd like to request, again, as i will continue to do periodically, that Abalone be added to the games available on brainking. it's one of the funnest board games available to humanity, and we can't yet play it here.

People can abuse the message system now even when they are not running a tournament.

The chainsaw is a good tool for cutting wood. You don't stop selling them because you can hack people to pieces with one also.

Относно: Re: Email all tournament participants

EdTrice: I see a good use for this, but I also see it as something that would get abused a lot - for example, I could see some people that will:

1) send message "Hey, tournament will start in 1 day"
2) then send message "Hey, tournament has now started"
3) etc... etc.. etc.. anyway, I know myself I would not want to get a lot of "junk" messages like that.

BerniceC: I meant message everyone on here, not email them.

In other words, you are TD of a tournament, you type one message, hit SEND TO PARTICIPANTS or something like that, and they all get the message.

plaintiger: Mine doesn't do anything when my cursor is directly on the smiley. So, what's the deal? If I put it on the question mark, the cursor turns into a finger pointing at a link. If I press the link, I am taken to a table with codes for smileys. Whatever causes your problem, isn't a problem on my computer. Perhaps we are using different browsers or internet service providers and that could explain it?

i'm still interested - as i always will be - in being able to play Abalone on brainking.

i would also like to request that Fencer institute a short delay between the time the user's cursor rolls over the graphical smiley panel popper-upper and the time the panel actually pops up. it pops up for me all the time when i don't want it to just because my cursor breezed past the pop-up point, and then half the time it won't go away until i hold my cursor over it for a few seconds (or choose a smiley even though i don't want one) and then click outside it. hassle!

Относно: Re:

BIG BAD WOLF: ....or simply only allow a tournament for one game at a time. Since there is no way to include all games into one tournament anyway.

Most of the time when someone sets up tournaments for 'all games' most of them do not even get the required participation to begin anyway.

I know it 'saves space' on the tournament listing page. But if it is a new tournament, then what the heck, make people put them up seperatly.

would it be difficult to add mancala as a new game type ?

as mancala can be played perfectly omweso might be nicer ?

it could have an asterisk or other sign in the line for every game where you are signed up

13. януари 2005, 08:45:55

I would think it would be a little more tricky to put a "you are signed up" for the tournament page since some tournament listings will have multiply games - so if you are signed up for 1 game type of a tournament which offers 20 different tournaments, should it say you are signed up or not?

13. януари 2005, 08:29:22

Bry

BerniceC - I've already asked Fencer about that, after he implemented my idea for the "you are signed up" on ponds. He said it's something he can do but is quite a big job but it is on his "to-do" list.

Wouldnt it be better to close down a DB from a real old competition or start a new one and put it on your PROFILE page or even on the main game page....

I love the "you are already signed up" feature on PONDS, when you click on them.....
NOW for Tournaments...can we have the same thing...click on tournaments and there you are...."already signed up"....would be nice but not really important :)

In this tournament:

http://brainking.com/game/Tournaments?trg=6703&tri=25674&trnst=0

I am occasionally getting questions for a further clarification of the rules. If there was a way to send a message to all participants at once, that would be a cool feature.

Относно: Re: Fellowships

Fencer: Sorry, I was not looking for an explaination. I was just venting.

I just think that if the limit is 2 now, and many people honored that even before the rule was implimented thinking they would lose them anyway, why let anyone keep more than 2 now?

Thad: The pond columns are different so they would not incorporate well into the exsisting list. What I do is click the red number for Pond turns and go to the next one that way.

I was wondering though... what order is that in? My list is by shortest time, but it does not pick the next one in that order.

Относно: Re: very urgently needed feature

I would really like to see ponds incorporated into my list of other games, rather than having two separate lists. Then, going to the next pond would be just like going to any other game.

a possibility to enter the bet in a pond game with a button "go to the next pond". I'm sure that all who have entered some zillion ponds like me will agree

I guess some people get bored with their nic and feel the need to change. That's ok as long it isn't every 5 minutes. It causes confusion on the dbs as well. You read something about 'xx'... but 'xx' has become 'zz' since then.
I associate the personality with the nic. Fencer is Fencer, Bry is Bry, harley is harley.... I can't imagine them having other nics. You get used to them.

For example, in the past we have had 'XXXXXX's girl'. It would become embarrassing when she ceases to be XXXXXX's girl! Or the ID turns out to be mean something offensive in another language. 'Topical' ids become stale sooner or later and need to be updated.

How about when a person chooses an ID for brainking they cannot change it without a very good reason?
Constantly changing nics causes confusion and creates unnecessary work for Fencer.
I suggest something similar for photos/icons as well. When a pic is chosen you aren't allowed to change it within a month.

Is this a feature request? I'm not sure!
