I personally don't like autopass, because when I'm blocked from moving four or five turns, and my turn finally comes up, I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone or something. It's like, WoW how'd that happen? I don't even remember playing! And the reason for that is because I HAVEN'T BEEN! LOL! Besides, that's when I do my best ramblin'...when I'm sittin' on the bar!
Anti Chess is another game that has forced moves sometimes. In fact, it often ends with a string of moves like that. I think it would be difficult for Fencer to program like that because some games would be in-progress and over at the same time.
Ed, what you want is what almost all Backgammon players want. Autopass. I tried asking for it on the feature request board, but Fencer was dead set against it for some reason that he wouldn't reveal to the board as he'd discussed it earlier before I had started playing Backgammon. I'm not sure if you're familiar with Backgammon, but on occasion it is possible to block your opponent from having a move and there's no point in having him take his turn as he can't move until a space opens up and he might possibly roll the right number to move again. It is possible to play your pieces just right and hold the turn for six or more turns. It'd certainly speed things up if you could keep the turn with yourself. We even discussed having it as an option, so that your opponent would have to grant the autopass before it would take effect. I know when my opponent has block his home base and I have a blot on the bar, I sure like him to use autopass instead having to press the no move possible button when it's my turn. Reversi has this come up too.
Like I said though, Fencer is against it.
I have two games from a tourney with Long John. They have gone into time outs at least 3 times since LAST weekend. And they all get restarted or refreshed time. This also happened with another player, Universal Eyes, as well as two games from another player which I can't think of the players id at the moment. However, those last three games were able to be saved by my opponents. And for what reason? For me to have to sit and wait endless days just to make a garsh darn move! Please fix the bug in the Time Out thingy. Cause I would certainly not wish to endure another refreshed timeset for the saved games again..
the games for Long John are numbers 522067 and 522068. Didn't know if you needed them. :)
Go to Fellowships page.. the link to the left.. scroll all the way down.. and under the window of the listed fellowships.. is a link to create a new fellowship.. Click it! :)
Fencer - assuming they dont use any "memory" probably not. Justwondered really as there are loads that have logged on once, joined, not played any games then never come back again. Doesnt give a true "registered users" figure. What do you think?
It would be hard to delete them since all past games are visable, and if the player had ever played any games - then it (in my opinion) is easier to just keep the account there instead of writing a script which will keep the games, the ratings, etc... but remove the user.
I want to apologize to the many BrainKing members who frequent the various boards.In an attempt to settle things down...I will no longer respond to my provokers.
Lets play games,have fun,and enjoy each others company!
Again,please accept my apology for all the disruptions.
BerniceC: Yeah. LOL you're right. Its my permanent face look :-), troubled or attacked constantly. But under this mask i have another face. I use this mask to prevent from "things" which can make me second face troubled or attacked constantly too. :-))
