Well it really is simple. There is currently no way to set up a 1 hour game! Just because the creator calls it a 1 hour game, does not make it so. They are mistaken when they call it that. The lowest time constraint currently possible at brainking is Fisher clock: 1/0/x. This means each player has 1 hour to make their moves. The only way to make a 1 hour game would be if there was the possiblity to use .5/0/x. That would be a half hour for each person. (Even then there is the possibility of it going over the 1 hour by 9 minutes. That is because Brainking checks for time outs every 10 minutes. That's just the way it is! Try requesting that Fencer add the possibility of the .5 on the Fisher clock.
heavenlyemma: I tried one short time Fisher game once, then had to do things and lost the game. You've got to be able to stay at the screen without interuption. With two kids .. No chance of that
rod03801: Thats what we will start calling them ROD 1 HOUR & 9 MINUTES.That is the longest any of them have went.I have played many of them and so have others.AS far as requesting the .5 why don't you because ever time i have made a request on the board you put me down.You have done this to me since i have been on this SITE.For all this taking about them .If you don't like them then DON"T PLAY THEM :)
"Have Fun": Actually, no, there is no way to enforce a "1 hour and 9 minute" game either, with the current time constraints available. 2 hour total time is the lowest possible to enforce.
I never said I didn't like them, and no I generally don't play them.
And the only times I have ever had anything to say about your feature requests are when you go off topic. Let's not twist things around. Try and have a good evening! :-D
Mousetrap: It doesn't mean forever mouse, it means you've got one hour to do all your moves. As I found out recently in a game I played and timed out on.
heavenlyemma: Well what the heck is all the fuss about then? One hour means one hour right? That is to complete the game right? There, sorted! Oh I see just to make a move so its an hour a move? This is too much for my poor ole head!
Mousetrap: Nope, it's like the clocks they use in professional chess matches. You get a fixed amount of time to play all your moves. So if you take 5 minutes making your first move you've only got 55 minutes left to complete all the others.
It's nice but no good if you've got other things that take up your time like kids
heavenlyemma: Oh well that is no good to me then with 42 kids and 613 games and only one candle to play them all the candle will have gone out before I finished.
