sorry i wasnt back sooner .. got caught up in work ... silly eh .. they should forbid making you work at your job :)

i was talking about battleboat and espionage games where the whole games is about an unknown setup ... i started some battleboat games already before i knew about the private part

in 1 game i have a note showing to my opponent .. quite funny .. i told myself where he would go in the next few moves and what my responses would be ... it was like i foretold him what to do .. he obeyed :) .. i guess i typed it in the wrong box though :)

thanks! i could reproduce it now :)

(*phew* now i can sleep peacefully once again ;))
(oh wait i am at work! *snap*)

i sometimes get a list (in grey) when i move my mouse towards my 'back' button (internet explorer 6 with javascript enabled (also enabled in bk)) .. when i try to get it on purpose i never succeed .. how does this one work ? :)

is it possible to make games private or remove them from my profile for others to look at ?

i mean games which werent private before

i didnt pay attention to private games .. but i now understand it can be quite useful for certain types .. i never hide anything .. but in this case i should have :)

ah sorry i didnt know about the bigger pictures being for the golden (forgot the name :)) members

ok

thanks! nice table ...

just found out most of it myself .. nice summary :)

i still have to make the pictures to the right size .. do you prefer me to mail the actual pictures or send the url of where they can be found (can be direct linked) as i will place online on photobucket to use in other places as well

thanks

- how can i get an image next to my name ?
- how can i have a second image under image in my profile which will show up via javascript ?

lol ... so at first he thought he was 14 ? :)

sshhhhhh dont tell anyone :)

(wow does that mean my calculation was correct ? ;))

ah! .. it seems to be tomorrow already :)

then in 4 years you will be the squareroot of your age older than my age now .. or something like that ;)

lol ... we all confuse our mental age with our legal age ;)

calculating now ... might take until tomorrow ;)

happy bday fencer!

(do i dare to ask you about your age ? ;))

hmm ... yes i think i favor single games better
(except in games where 1 color has a big advantage)

thanks

do all matches count as 1 ? a 5 wins match as well ?

do matches count as 1 game in the bkr and number of games played ?

i just won a match of chess (its a miracle indeed ;)) .. 2-0 ... but only 1 win was added to my list .. and i think my total number of games only went up by 1 as well

i am not talking about a banned board .. more like a flame board (as i have seen in more places) ..

the people who like to insult and be insulted would go there ... the ones who wont dont

but of course such board wouldnt come into mind when someone thinks of a game site with fair playing people ... it would lower the sites advertising for what it really is .. a games site

i think i vote against the idea myself ;)

what about a non-moderated board on which everyone can post .. if there is an issue which cant be dealed with in a polite manner .. it has to be taken to that board .. it leaves things open to insult people in public .. and it leaves people with the opportunity to ignore the board

sssst dont give them any ideas ... its just like those soccer 'fans' who just go to a match for a good fight ... they dont mind if the match is canceled because them .. they didnt care for the match

i vote for the growing up part .. i am too new to vote for boards to be removed ;)

(cant discussion with personal insults be done via the message box?)

if that someone always had lower rated opponents his/her rating wont change that much ... if the one with 7 wins and 3 losses always played the highest rated person then the wins would add a lot

ah thanks bbw .. that explains :)

hmm .. the bkr formula was changed ?

i thought with a difference of more than 400 points nothing changed if the higher player won ?

but in a game of froglet with a friend i got :

Hrqls: old BKR = 2076, new BKR = 2077 (+1)
SandyH: old BKR = 1090, new BKR = 1089 (-1)

dont be in a rush though ... other things might be more important :)

i am probably missing an option again
(hey i learned! i didnt post this in the feature forum right away ;))

could someone please tell me how to sort the list of game types which i can chose from when i want to invite someone to a game ?

it just took me several minutes to invite to a game of small pente because i overlooked it in the list
(yes i should look better i know .. but sorting the list alphabetically or something else would work as well ;))

ok

will find out when it happens i guess
(if anything happens to provisional ratings at all :))

do the bkrs depend on time ?

what will happen to the bkrs when they are recalculated ?
