Относно: Re: default time per move length
Thad: Easiest solution would be not to have a default time limit. Make people choose.

Относно: Re:
coan.net: In games like chess and checkers i have seen a good system where you "suggest" the next few moves to the system (without the opp knowing)... if both players suggest the same sequence it gets played out automagically.

this is very useful for extended check sequences in chess, or common openings sometimes.

coan.net: Thanks. so if you can't set vacation days, what would it mean to turn off auto vac? i guess you could be choosing to time out deliberately?

My profile says I'm using the auto vacation and have 10 days left... but I don't think that's right since i'm a pawn. So my question is... do i get any vacation days that i need to set - and if so how?

rabbitoid: Right, so people joined 4 years ago hoping to get rook membership sometime in their life.

I guess 21 point games with 5 day moves should be a clue not to enter.

happyjuggler0: oh yeah, i must have misread that somehow. Correct, this tournament should move on. There is no excuse for staying in round 1.

Относно: Re: Why does the software allow this tournament to still be in round 1?
happyjuggler0: you're right in principle of course, but in this case section 14 is undecided.

It certainly would not be difficult to calculate that a section is over prior to all games being played though.

Относно: Re: 1.h4 for Atomic Chess
diogenysos: Reason I like it is that it differs from the opening in reverse at a critical point.
1.Nf3 e5
2.Ng5 f5
3. h4 c6
4. Nxh7

however since white played 1.h4 this capture is impossible and therefore a new line is needed. I think black erred with Nh2 in this game. . . white can't actually force a win i think if black plays something like b5.

Относно: Re: Really lose on time when you lost on time
Thad: I'm assuming there is already a method called timeout(gameID) or something equivalent... simply a case of calling it when the page loads if timeRemaining(gameID) <= 0

I guess I'm assuming the site is coded reasonably well already.

grenv 
Относно: Re: Really lose on time when you lost on time
Aganju: No reason it couldn't timeout whenever *anyone* looks at the game... after all, it has to display the '-9' so it's already figured out the time is run out - the rest is trivial.

Относно: Re:
pgt: Just thought of a solution...

Play regular games and use the doubling cube in the chat window... thus keeping track of score outside the game.

Or... go to a different site. Maybe that would work as well. I may try dailygammon for backgammon and stick to dark chess et al here.

28. юни 2011, 04:47:42
grenv 
I second autopass improvements request and adopt the proper rating system for backgammon (and apply to other dice games). Then I might rejoin the ranks of paying membership.

And can we get rid of those annoying smileys please? :)

i must have dropped into the wrong site by mistake.. i thought i was at brainking the game site. Are we really talking in length about smileys? is there a candid camera somewhere?

Относно: Re: move notice emails
Thad: Probably depends on which page the user that played the move was using at the time the email was generated.

If you log into both sites once and remember the password in the browser then wouldn't that solve the problem?

Относно: Re: Backgammon blocked board
wetware: I imagine that if you are trapped, but your opponent also has checkers back, that would be a case where you would not go to auto-pass.

More common is the situation where you are the only one back and would never double.

Относно: Re: Auto Pass in Backgammon
tonyh: what if you only have a few pieces left, and you were playing for a gammon, but now you have a piece captured and are trapped. You may want to double now.... that's why a choice would be good... if you get in that situation you have the choice of "double" or "autopass" - autopass would take you out of the game until you get a chance to come in.

22. април 2011, 14:18:58
grenv 
Относно: Re: Auto Pass in Backgammon
tonyh: Simple solution... if the player losing can resign and offer a point, the winning player can reject and continue playing for a gammon. Either that or the system is smart enough to know a gammon is unattainable before a piece is actually borne off - particularly in positions where the winning player can't double and end it quickly that way.

Относно: Re:
grenv: hmm... .not so simple... you would need to eliminate time where you can't move (all games with opps)... that time would be subtracted from the 70 in my formula.... or something like that.

Относно: Re:
Universal Eyes: I suggested a speed index a while ago...
easy enough...
m = moves made in last 10 weeks (arbitrary, but i think large enough to be significant)
g = number of games currently playing

index = m / 70 / g

and is equivalent to the number of moves you make per game per day.

Then you could use that as a filter for tournament sign ups etc.

Относно: Re: Timeouts
El Cid: I personally have no problem with people timing out.. my problem is with people who don't time out and take forever and get all these auto vacation days kick in.
I think vacation should be scheduled not automatic.

Относно: Re: timeouts
happyjuggler0: What difference does it really make... 1000 games is enough to guarantee a move every second you are logged in... what's the benefit of more? Only that you will be slower in each game, which frustrates others.

Относно: Re: timeouts
pedestrian:1000 games at once? Good grief, that sounds absurd. I can barely keep context when playing 30... you must be a genius of the highest order.

Относно: Re: Rolling Dice and Auto-pass
Thom27: But if there were, say, 4-6 games where the rolls were identical, you would have to assume that 3-5 of them were affected by whatever the problem is... so it would help.

27. март 2011, 04:21:34
grenv 
Относно: Re: Rolling Dice and Auto-pass
wetware: If there's a blot then presumably you could come off and therefore the option to double could become available again. This need only be for when there is no chance of coming off and rolling is not necessary...

26. март 2011, 15:24:00
grenv 
Относно: Re: Rolling Dice and Auto-pass
Thom27: Correct, and it would continue to autopass from then on until a move is possible.

26. март 2011, 05:18:39

Относно: Re: Rolling Dice and Auto-pass
rabbitoid: Simple solution; have a button next to "move" that says "move and autopass" - which you click when you know you don't want to double...

Since becoming a pawn again today, my pond disappeared. I guess this means pawns can't even complete the ponds they are in the middle of playing? Seems a little draconian, but oh well.

rod03801: I deleted. I am a pawn. Therefore pawns can delete. QED :)

and therefore not allowing editing achieves zero benefit, and I guess really zero problems since pawns can delete and rewrite in lieu of editing, so we can all go back to our lives now.

If you can post a message you should be able to edit it... after all the alternative is to simply add a second message correcting the first, which is kind of clumssssy
