Относно: End of game

I wish there was a feature that would show the last move of a game. When my opponent check-mates me, it doesn't show that last move to me. It just says 'your opponent has check-mated you'. But it doesn't show it.

I want a feature that allows my friends to get friends with the friends of my friends friends without learning Farsi.

LOL. If that's a tongue twister then what hope have I of reading it even if I wanted?! It looks very pretty, though.

I think it would be better if Fencer created a huge set of sound files so that we can hear how to pronounce things.

I'll only back the idea of phonetic s and sound files for English if proper - British - English pronunciation is used.

wouldn't you wish to know how I say this?

دوست داری با دوست من که دوست داره با دوست تو دوست بشه دوست بشی؟

It's a tounguee twister in Farsi and how would you read it if you have no idea how to?

Besides, when people use those strange Chinese or hebrew signs, I'd like to see how they actually read it. How big a written word really is!

That's just what I wish I could have here and use.

Относно: Re:

reza: Why is the ability to read enhanced by phonetic symbols? Students of languages learn to read them at the same time as, or before, they learn to speak them; similarly, the written word is often easier to understand than the spoken word. If you know the language well enough to read it, I don't think the ability to pronounce it adds anything to your understanding. Similarly, if you don't understand the written word, I don't know what additional understanding would be gained by the ability to pronounce it.

Fencer: I think anyone who know how to work with a dictionary know how to read them, even if not, I think it's easy to put a brief explanation there. I can do that for you if you wish. During my interview (BTW, what happend to it?) I needed to use the symbols but didn't have the chance but they would have helped a lot.

Относно: Re:

reza: And how would you explain people how to read the phonetic symbols?

5. януари 2006, 19:00:37

Fencer, I'd appreciate it if you could put phonetic symbols somewhere on the site too. When a thing is said in another language, I think it's most appreciated if it can be written using phonetic symbols so that people can understand how to read it. I think you can make 'icons' for them and put them in the smily's part or in another section.

Относно: To see the user ratings in % too

Променен от TC (5. януари 2006, 13:42:37)

It should be better and more understandable, to see the user ratings not only in row (like 1.,2.3.,..n.,) also to see the place percents of total users (1%, 2%, 3%, .. n%) of any game!

jolat: The rules are more complicated, e.g. you must capture as many pieces as possible, etc. The current checkers model is not prepared for this rule, it must be reworked first.

Относно: About International checkers

I suggest that is added to this site "International checkers".
It is one of the variants who is most played and particularly in Europe.
It is played on a board 10x10. The rules are close to the "Czech checkers" except that the pawns can take behind.

Относно: start date on games

This might be information that already exists, but I would like to see a game start-date listed in the game info of games that are in progress. Some games take months, and as a personal reference I would like to be able to see the date that each game started. Information exists listing when the last move was made; above that listing would be a good place for the start-date line.

Относно: Battle Boat Plus Equalized Variant

Променен от mctrivia (29. декември 2005, 17:29:39)

In Battle Boat Plus White has a 20% better chance then winning then Black. I beleive this to be do to White getting an extra turn(I.E. white could destroy 2 whole ships on first turn[not likely]). To equalize this difference between white and black I propose that the number of shots is recalculated after each of blacks turns(If white destroys 2 ships off the bat black still gets his 5 shots and can destroy 2 of whites ships they drop to 3 shots each after this). This change will result in more ties since black could make a shot with no ships left and sink whites remaining ships.

Czuch Chuckers: That may be difficult. I believe the rankings are only updated once a day (Maybe every hour?) - But unlike the BKR's which are calculated right away, the system does not know your new ranking until it runs it's script.

(And I would guess running a new script every time a game ends would overload the server)

In the pm that tells us that a game is finished and what our new bkr is, I would like it to tell me what my new ranking is as well.

The background looks great on my 1024x1280 monitor(portrate) but on my 1280x1024 monitor(landscape) it gets in the way of reading the favourite board list. I know I can turn it off but it looks cool. Turning off tieling or having multiple size options would work.

Относно: Re:

Salkkuman: Yea, this was recently discussed on the tournament board.

To me, I think it is a current bug since for "cubed" backgammon tournaments, the S-B is counted by each game won, not the number of total matchs won.

So how it is now - if you win 5 games worth 1 point, it is worth more S-B then if you win one game that is worth over 5 points with the cube.

Small little application that could sit in the system tray and tell you how many moves it is your turn to play even when you are not online. Possibly even makes a noise when the number increases.

This is actually a 2 part request. The first is that the things that are hidden from other users be optional(I.E. you can chose if your city, and birth date are hidden but default is hidden). The secound is the ability to imbed codes into your profile like:

Hi I am <age-years> old. I love Chess(<BKR-Chess>), and BattleBoats Plus(<BKR-bb+>).

I think that sonnebonbergers should not be counted like now they are counted in cubic gammons. In this tournament the one who did not win anygames got most Sonnebon-bergers. It should be counted as it would have been only lost, win or draw not as. Of course this is only my opinion.
