Pedro Martínez: nope :)

jadarite: ah i now see what you mean ... that would be useful indeed ... often in chess types i think about a move, but cant decide yet before real life kicks in again and drags me away from brainking ... when i finally have time again to get back to brainking i have to restart the thinking, which i might not have to do when they move would have been saved but not submitted

is that what you mean ?

jadarite: i understand the difference between putting a move into the computer, or playing directly on the computer

there is even a difference between playing on the computer or on a phone. people tend to submit moves faster (without checking) on phones (in my experience)

the question is: suppose there is a undo mechanism here .. in which you can undo a move in about 30 seconds .. would you go back to each game after you submitted the move? in case of the action of going back, you could change that action into checking before submitting the move .. each is an extra action you have to perform, and each can be forgotten as easily

i had to change my gameplay as well: in the past i used the mouse to click on 'cancel this move' when i didnt want ... i especially use that in froglet games in which i view the board as it would be after i made the move, before i submit the move .... i accidently clicked on submit instead of cancel a few times .... after that i am not using the backspace key on my keyboard to go back (and cancel) and use the mouse to submit my move, so i wont accidently use the wrong action (although they are clearly separated on this site i sometimes click too fast :))

jadarite: free accounts have unlimited moves per day, but a limit on how many games they can have going on at the same time ... so if you have a fast opponent, then you can have a lot of moves per day

(V): lol .. and for capturing the queen :)

thechosen0ne: that would be automove, which we dont have on brainking ... we only have autopass :)

Bernice: no problem at all

Aganju: i always go to brainking.com/nl

crosseyed: i have never have problems with this site, i am in the netherlands, using both old and new equipment, using various types of browser (internet explorer, firefox, opera), on pc or laptop or android phone

one thing which might be different on my systems than the default systems is that i dont keep my history or cache (except on my phone) .. maybe a large history or old cached files can cause problems ?

Roberto Silva: hmm just a feeling .. i like it best to start as player 2, and i think i win more when my opponent has the first move

will have to check my games to be certain

another example is connect4 : player 2 has a big advantage there as well

Carpe Diem: sorry ... i forgot it was about ponds ... for the ponds link i went to the ponds section on the left side (below team tournaments and stairs) and on that ponds page i clicked on the link to the game rules (somewhere on the top) :)

*blush* from my side as well :)

Carpe Diem: when you play a game there is always a link to the game rules on that page (below the game board, directly after the name of the gametype) .. that link led me to the page i posted

Carpe Diem: it is still being developped, not all game types are supported yet

have a look at Brainking for Android

Carpe Diem: the game rules for ponds can be found here

nicnat: capture the pawn as if it would have moved only 1 space

pedestrian: or maybe always use the bkr from the start of the game ?

Thad: cardinal was #20 at the start .. the seeding of the next rounds are msessed up somehow

Artful Dodger: you probably have to play rockhound pam, but the new game for that isnt in the table yet it seems ..

there is a new board to discuss the BrainKing for Android app :

http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=165

have fun

Stardust: ok thanks, it had me confused (despite the title of the thread :))

if its about another site, could we please take it to another board (maybe the board about other sites, or in a fellowship?)

Stardust: are we still talking about the other site, or is this about a game on Brainking ?

Fencer: nice!

i hope some configurable options to set which data to show on the notification bar ? ;) .... i love free configurations :)

and hopefully a game board which displays nice and will be easy to play, using the full screen (without too much screen area lost to other things :))

Fencer: would love it!

ketchuplover: no problem with me, i was just wondering

ketchuplover:

why send them a message ?
if they want to keep the game, it doesnt harm anyone does it ?

Gammonator: nice!!! that means i am still in the running for a prize :)

and the last match of round 1 is almost finished

King Pyrhus: to make 10k moves a day you could start a LOT of easy games like ludo for example with various fast playing opponents, in different parts of the world, to make sure someone will play at your night time as well:)

then as you calculated : there are more than 80k seconds in 24 hours, so you have more than 8 seconds per move .. which is more than enough in easy games

the main point is : your have to make sure you always have games waiting for your move, so you need a lot of games, and fast playing opponents

Herlock Sholmes: this site offers a balance between pleasure and frustration and the motivation to become better :)

Herlock Sholmes: i think those games are more popular because they are fast to play ... the outcome of the dice limits your choices, are often less complicated than their non-dice counter-parts

the faster a game can be played, the easier time-limited people will start some, and the faster a game can be played, the sooner a new game can start, so more games per time can be played

JungleBurger: you can buy a paid membership with brains

ScarletRose: i use paypal as a guest, i just have to enter my creditcard number, and some personal information ... i dont have to log into my paypal account

Thad: wow! that just mean you are rich :)

firedragon764: no problems with paypal for me as well ... just that i always forget my password

last time i used it without my account though .. did the payment via paypal, but just by inserting my creditcard data, no login required

Bluefin: there was a restriction on the size of the pictures ... it was somewhere in the help of faq section, but i cant find it anymore

Fencer: still ??? congrats!! hold on to that 3! its the best ;)

Fencer: that would be nice :)

Fencer: when you have time could you please also remove the old tournaments which wont be started because no price has been submitted yet ... there are some which are there for more than a year already :)

move that chat to a fellowship please ... the subject it is about now has nothing to do with brainking itself

my 2 cents : if i cant play and i used up all my vacation days .. then i would not like it .. but i would accept it

i play for fun and ranking, but fun comes first, and i would miss playing on here if i wouldnt be able to login, but there are more important things in life

personally i would not like my opponent to hand over his game to someone else ... if the new player is much stronger and annihilates me with a short series of moves then it could spoil the game which might have been interesting with someone of an equal level as me .. if the new players is much weaker then it might spoil the game as well as there might not be the challenge which i expected .. and i wouldnt be able to learn from his moves (which i like to do while playing stronger opponents)

of course there is no 100% proof via which you can show someone is playing games for someone else :)

Artful Dodger: the ';other person' has use its own account

it wouldnt be fair to be able to build on using the first persons account using their stats like ranking and rating

Bernice: i also have some problems connection to brainking.nl .. sometimes it brings me to google where i can click on the link and the connect without problems (this indicates a DSN problem on my site) ... but today often that doesnt work but brainking.com always seems to work for me

thisbeme: hooray for the constructive feedback! every site needs fresh ideas from its players

i dont know if you already did so, but could you post the mancala variant on the feature request board or on the mancala board ?

the reason why there is not real 'autopass' is that in that way there can be no talk between the (passed) game moves .. personally i would love real autopass or maybe an option to turn it off and on .. but fencer likes this site to be more social than the usual game sites on which you just make your moves

Bernice: probably games which didnt allow vacation days
games with a green dot only allow weekend days and no vacation days
games with a red dot allow no weekend days and no vacation days either

Bernice: not me .... everything working perfectly

Snoopy: i think it would be polite to send a pm when a msg is removed indeed .... dont worry .. i will always send a pm before and after

Pedro Martínez: ah thanks .. me showing being blond ... i thought the other also uploaded the picture on their account and that account worked :)

i understand now :)

Bernice: i assume it worked to upload it now since we can see it ?

Bernice: did you also check the filesize and the size of the picture itself (width and height, in pixels) ?

try to resize it to something smaller and try again

personally i always think games should be played without help from anyone else ... ponds included .. i like the invidual acclompishment :)

but calling someone a cheater while he is just making use of the rules is too much

the issue with team play in ponds might be brought up in a discussion about ponds .. that has my full support

personally i think team play should not be allowed, and i think to remember from the earlier discussion that most players think about it that way

i fully respect tenuki and i dont think he has done anything wrong personally .. (although i didnt think about the rules about losing on purpose of bootsting ratings .. that indeed conflicts with the outcome of the former discussion (in which team play was not forbidden))
