Just curious if it could be possible to make a place on this site for people wanting to play fast games with a timelimit less than one hour per move/game?


My trouble is that I get involved in games and wait and wait for the other person to make a move. I know this site is a turns based game site, but I am thinking of a site were it will be able to set the time limit for moves to maybe, lets say, more than one minute and less than 60 minutes?

Or a place where we could expect the other player to be "online" through a whole game.... If you understand what I mean?

MadMonkey:  wonderful..i have to go there and write now!!

Sorry, running out of Walls to Graffiti

The Castle looks pretty Fencer!

Hey, Hrqls, i just brought Fencer of you for $640 on Facebook

He makes a lovely pet

I am curious about the access code? I just recently see about it in my profile, but I dont remember hearing anything about it before?

Hrqls: Yep. Pogo is the same. ... Join the club (pay) and it's ad free.

Bernice: as a paying member you can play advertisement free.
as a free member you usually have to cope with some annoyances like advertisements ..

Ewe: thanks for that....I didnt realise that either LOL....

Bernice: i have found out why he would think that....I havent looked at the main page since forever, but I just went there as an unpaying customer and "casino" is all over the place........

Bernice: If youre not a paying member you get all the ads

I asked an avid chess player if he had tried this site, and this was his reply...
***I looked at it. I'm a little wary of Web sites that have casino tie-ins. Last time I played on one I almost never got all gthe adware off my computer.
***

why would he get that impression?

This is about an idea i have had for awhile,
and here it is in text;
I think that Brainking should have a new sister
site called Brainking Live that allows you
to play fast games of chess and checker
variants. Anywhere from 5 minutes to
1 hour per player per game, it would be
similar to Brainking, but it could have
these features:
1. ratings that are different to Brainking
2. tournaments once a month
3. chat
4. learning centre
5. past games
It could be similar to xymyx.com
which was advertised at Brainking
here
I was hoping that Fencer could do
this one day, it would be hugely
popular, people can then decide
to play at the original Brainking
or the new Brainking Live
I would be interested to hear what
people think of this idea, it sounds
great to me

Rose: Thanks Rose, I'll try that!

I just tried that and it worked - will it work again from now on?

Binabik: In the past few days I have had it happen.. Go to any game that you lost your message in.. at or near the bottom is show message archive.. i had to click it to get mine back

Fencer: I looked all over the settings options but I can't find "game message list".... do I need new glasses?

Binabik: must be a bug it happened to me also.

Binabik: Check if you didn't disable the game message list by a mistake.

Is it something I said, or is anyone else having their messages disappear in the games?

thanks to viking and rob :)

ruby2shoes: yep, it's for reporting bugs, besides that one

ruby2shoes: If you click it, it takes you to Brainking's "Bug Tracker".

Fencer added it to all pages, so that if there is a bug, and you click the "bug" on that page, bug tracker will "take note" of the page where you discovered the bug. (For example if you click it from a game, the URL of that game will be in bug tracker, so that you don't have to remember to specify which game you have spotted a bug in.)

I have a little insect sitting at the top right on my page - has everyone got one?

coan.net: Of course there is no way to get it. Someone must program it first (if it's worth the effort).

I don't want to change my page setup to see the chat box, nor do I want to enable Java stuff on all the other pages, nor do I think I want it on the top of my main page.

Is there any way to get a "Chat box" page - with a link in the left column that I people who don't use default BrainKing page setups can use to go to the Chat box? (that of course will show up on the chat page even if someone has the Java stuff disabled in their settings)

joshi tm: Nope.

Stats of won Cheversi games
white 991 (28.54 %)
black 2341 (67.42 %)
draw 140 (4.03 %)

Well, these are the stats including the games before the rules change (where Black won almost every game). Fencer, do you have also stats of played games after the rules change?

joshi tm: Not yet.

Is it possible to change the language setting pernamently? (in the chatbox)

Roberto Silva: a new multi-player game would be nice Ponds are a bit rundown.

Roberto Silva:

Fencer: Not even this one?

http://brainking.info/archives/450-Brain-War-game-proposal.html

It seems fun - ponds are getting somewhat repetitive now

answer is simple for those who were roaming at the different turn-based sites ... here you can feel the presence of the programmer, you can see him playing and responding, you can tell, he loves games too ... here is the atmosphere, european atmosphere which sometimes reminds me about childrens playground where everybody wants to be heard but nobody listens ... but that's ok, comparing to seveal similar in nature sites, here is the life, the energy, the prresent moment ... you are not anonymous, you are not in the middle of soulless servers and always late responses ...
I would like to say: thank you Fencer for your courage to manage so many thousands characters and still have time to play and for your private life .... there were many instances I would be better shutting my mouth up, but I was sending emails to Fencer and he always found time to answer ... at least he tried to answer most important questions ... let us support this site as long as we can ... we are not going to find something like this site in the entire cyberspace ...
Andy.

Fencer: True

I always thought it was best to solve a issue rather than hide it myself

Rather hide the Chat Box

MadMonkey: There is an easy workaround - do not turn off the left column.

Fencer, could you make the Main page link visible again in the Simple set up, when using the chat box please
It is still there in it same place it used to be (at top of screen) but you can not see it (only red number on right) as the chat box is on top of it, so it cant be used

AbigailII: That could be interesting. I never developed a dead site before.

Fencer: I am not working on any games now.

But, but, it's almost a week without a new game! This site will surely die soon if we don't get new games fast! ;-) ;-)

Czuch: I am not working on any games now.

Fencer, have you made any firm decision about another multi player game yet?

My Ponds Plus fellowship is dedicated to all of the multi player games here, but pond runs are getting quite lonely

Bullets9mm: There's usually someone around to help. Sometimes it might take us a bit to figure it out.

I do thank you for all of your comments!! At least I know I can get help here when need!!

coan.net: oh sure, I shoulda known you'd put a clock on the wall......

Bullets9mm: ... plus any time change you make will not affect your games.

That is if a game is to time out in 5 hours, it will still time out in 5 hours even if you change what your clock says.

(Myself personally, I live it on server/Fencer time.... and then just lift my head and look at the clock on the wall when I need to know what time it is.)

Bullets9mm: I think its because Daylight Savings Time started early this year. I simply changed my Time Zone back one (ie from Eastern to Atlantic) until the system catches up.

The time for Eastern Standard Time for the United States is now one hour ahead, right now the time is behind one hour. I could not change it, maybe you can. I do not want this to affect my games. Thank you.
