..to have a list of ALL the achievements that are possible to try to acheive.
this would certainly encourage players to strive for them.
maybe in the FAQ or as a commentary in achievements.
I have thought that perhaps this does not exist intentionally,but I can't think of a reason for hiding this.

I have looked to see if this exists.If it does,someone please share a link.

plaintiger: tiger that game idea IS NOT scrabble,too bad u did not read or comprehend well.
one letter at a time place anywere...turn based...the strategy idea to make words but avoid helping your opponent...turn based..you get the drift yet?

NOT scrabble,because as as most know,hasbro has the copyrights & freaksout at even "scrabble clones" by other names.

rod03801: true,but thats not a problem.there are free "offical scrabble word lists"and"dictionary word databases" for just about any language.
most can be customized.so if word games were a consideration.it would not be a great problem,
---
also since we seem to be discussing game..how many also love games for more than 2 opponents.maybe for 3or 4 players.
I have often played with the idea of applying this to:
chess,backgammon,Backgammon Race,Lines of Action,Pente or Keryo Pente

oh ty yes vg yes i know that scrabble cant be copied..even clones by other names are hassled by the owners of scrabble..so I have heard anyway.

does anyone else like word games?do we need one here?express yourselves

emmett: this is a bad idea for 2 basic reason,there are others:

1-many users use public library,university or community center computers,thus many on one IP address.this would unfaily block many users.
it is surprising how many there are.take a poll fencer just for curiousity.

2-this unfortunely will NOT stop advanced cheating methods..there are many,I reframe from doing so.
but many dont care that cheating is a hollow victory.
to make yourself feel like you have acheived something by cheating,is the calling card of an insecure,dysunctional personality.

this is radical,but WOULD SOLVE issues surrounding fast players waiting on slow movers.
instead a setting for time per game.
each player elect in his prefs how fast he wants to play games.
7 day
5 day
3 day
1 day
12 hours
the problem of players having different "play"settings from each other could be solved in on interraction between players in which a game time is agreed.and the setting for that game could be altered.
this would at least easily ID the fast or the slow players from the word go.

but this is a system wide change & might be good to try on a game site starting up.what ye all think?

the thing about this.it is a clever idea for a word game,but the graphics do not need to be elaborate.
the required graphics for the program would not be very complex to code.
it could be put together relatively very quickly if desired.
I dont think I have seen this game anywhere,so I think it is a unique idea..I hope.

ok,the game:
how about a board of squares,say 15 X 15...or 20X20.
each player in turn simply places a letter on any square.
players alternate turns placing letters.
the object is to create words.the bigger the better score,adding to existing words is allowed.
trying not to help your opponent,but helping yourself is the strategy.

a variation on the game could be that for a turn,in place of placing a letter on the board.
any letter on the board can be changed,and any words resulting from this would be scored.

I hope our fearless leader sees this ,if so please comment.

..I was just thinking..a while ago i suggested a simple design-turn based strategy game might be fun...like capture the flag or paintball.

an after thought...does this exist? a simple design-turn based strategy game based on:
tanks
or
pirates

ajtgirl: I love BK my second fav is:
www.jijbent.nl

all the games there are great

ajtgirl:
I love scrabble too...but scrabble or a clone like it = a no no...hasbro is serious about maintaining its copyright over scrabble.
e-scrabble had to close because of it.

IYT sucks big time...its chock full of: trojans,worms,spybots,keystroke counters & popups..and oh yes it is..fixed to many computers re IYT users.
-
if you like word games,try the golem word game at:
www.littlegolem.net
its unique

some chess ideas that would be really radical:
how about a chess game with a simple twist on strategy.
chess played on a hexagonal shape board(multi-hexagons).
the difference between a square(4 directions) & a hexagon(6 directions) might be addictive.
-
or how about a central chessboard...with 4 more boards attached to each corner..why?...to allow four a 4 player game(4 colours).this sounds complex..but I have always thought it might be fun for chess for >2 players.maybe another idea for this might be for a larger board...4 players..and each simply takes a turn in rotation.
-
or how about chess played on a triangular shape board.(multi-triangles)
the difereence between a square(4 directions) & a triangle(3 directions).
-
any ideas on this people?

Jim Dandy: maybe you ned apair of glasses like this:
http://www.3dstereo.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/glasses/xray.jpg

mako887:
scrabble = good
upwords = excellent
but I think there are copyright issues...

how about a turn based paintball game?
for example,some links:
http://www.mv.com/ipusers/paintball/game/

http://play-free-online-games.com/games/paintballcarnage.html
or capture the flag turn based.
or ,this may be a unique idea,I see nothing like it around:
how a bout a mini golf turn based game,based on winning points,more like a board game than playing mini golf?
some skills required...may take some creativity.
still think yatzee would be good...what no comments?

grenv: agreed

I had posted this:
"anyone like yatzee?
painted yatzee?"
--
got some links,if our fearless leader is to ever condider yatzee,please consider these 3 versions:
painted yatzee:
comment:
Painted Yahtzee is a dice game of a different color - challenging you to score according to number =and= color combinations! Multi-colored dice - blue, red, purple, green, and yellow - let you score dazzling combinations like 4 of a Color, a Painted House, a Rainbow, a Palette. Plus, there are number combinations, just as in Classic Yahtzee.

of course we could stick with simply yatzee,but make it for from 2 to 8 players instead.this would be a great multi-player game.

was told this:
"it is my understanding you would have to use the rules of YACHT, as the name and rules for YAHTZEE are copyrighted."
anyone know?

anyone like yatzee?
painted yatzee?

anyway..back to topic...peace love to all

blazeinshore: maybe a bit playfully sarcastic,but never nasty.I love to communicate...this is a great community for doing so.but lately I have heard comments by some more pre-occupied with chatting & with prying into all kinds of info about fellow members,than with playing games in friendly competition.

blazeinshore: there are chatrooms

just some ideas for turn based games..I wont provide links,unless uncommon games..data exists online..clones possible?
some would be ideal for multi player games
what say fearless leader?
painted yatzee
mille bourne
slay http://www.windowsgames.co.uk/slay.html
capture the flag
paintball
parcheesi

alanback: we could call it brainzee

have you ever seen these games?:
mille bourne
painted yatzee
capture the flag

..are more pre-occupied with spying on their "neighbours"than on playing games.

Pythagoras: well we must get back on subject..but last word on this...its hard to ignore when your are getting repeatedly sent multiple offensive or irrational messages

alanback: if its ****,you have my sympathy.I recieved an avalance of unsolicited irrational ranting myself.

how about adapting a copy of an existing game to make something brilliant!!
take a copy of Fast Espionage.then adapt it into a game of paintball.
all I have is the idea...any thoughts on how to do this?
I am not a very great programmer..still learning.
but starting off with Fast Espionage,it may not be too difficult to tweak it
is anyone familiar with some f thesimple paintball .exe 's

BIG BAD WOLF: a good idea wolfy..except one point..I loathe ramdom piece placement..after all whos playing..me or the computer?

WhiteTower: no its not like either..better..nice structure to game but simple graphics..its a safe dwld ..try it..tell me wht u think.
--------
as for mctrivia's post...stock ticker...now that brings back memories..used to play that as a kid.

I found this one,it is good:
http://www.spto.demon.co.uk/slay.html
what ye all think?

I love this site,it is not a complaint.but I sure would love to see more games in which you can play again more than one opponent in a game.
but I guess step one before our fearless leader even considers this is to see if it would be appreciated if he went to the trouble.I know this site must keep him busy.
so ok..please speak up,who else likes multi opponent games?
if so,any suggestions?

MidnightMcMedic: If ever a scrabble clone game was to appear here.
It should be accompanied with the choice of the official recognized dictionaries databases:
OWL/TWL98, OSPD2, OSPD3, OSPD4 and SOWPODS.
see:
http://thepixiepit.co.uk/scrabble/dictions.htm
--
also to service al of our community.
online are availalbe dictionary databases for:
Languages available: Dutch, English, French, German, Romanian, Spanish, Swedish

I have no doubt that if fencer has ever considred this,he has thought of all this.

brainking is my fav site,love fencers game variations.
this one is unique,it appeals to back gammon players in its strategy:

they are not always easy to find I have a small collection.

Princess Alison: you can download a smilie(.gif)and embed it in an email or a word or html file.
I often do with templates for email,word.
can do the same with other files: .jpg .snd .wav .png
I think you can,but have never done with these files: .mpg .ram .tar .zip .ppt .wab

my post:
what about the idea of selecting your own background colour on brainking?
was a only a feature suggestion,are we taking a turn on brainking to lashing out immediately?I though we had evolved past that.

mctrivia: really? mmm ty will research that

an idea..whay ye all think?

mctrivia:
re: yes I know. but 50% usually is enough to get the gist. Have so far only goten one message that the translater gave me no clue.
---------------
no offense but not true at all.I do work for amnesty international,communicate in several languages.
I have learned that there are many words,expressions,concepts that have no equivalent in english & vis versa.and languages that are non latin based are something else completely.

mctrivia: even the best language translation tools are not 100% accurate in translation

diogenes: we could also have "double elimination" tournaments

would anyone be interested in these?

how about for halloween,all girls from from brainking have the pre-fix "zombie-ghoul" added to their login names?

Luke Skywalker: would this not be the same effect as playing an unrated game?(which already is possible here)

SOCRATES: re :I found it shocking that Brainking has all these unknown variants of Checkers

answer
I for one am glad BK has unique,uncommon variants.that is what makes it special.
so many games sites are clones,same games.
anyone else feel this way? please speak up!!
