pauloaguia, Constellation36: Ah, i never understood what she wanted say with glicko and i didn't know that system. Well, now i saw my mistake and i must offer excuses to Abigaill.

AbigailII: I give a suggestion and defended it and you spoke ill of my ideas, so i thought you defended the present system. Now, i see you don't defend it. So, do you defend anything or only know speak ill of all ideas (and create tournaments and more tournaments and bad tournaments lol)?

"GERRY": Yes, unfortunately. I know some cases, but i think rating calculation is indifferent about that question...

AbigailII: You're free to have your opinion like me too. You defend bkr rating calculation and i defend other system...

So, as you can see, there's a little problem here, between me and carl, because he wants to fight for the first place and i'm not interest in play more plakoto games, because i don't like of the game and it's not my fault if i'm in first place casually.

If you defend this system, so maybe you must get a solution for carl problem. Thanks and bye!

Carl: You're searching by the wrong fighter.
As i said before, i played 4 plakoto games, 3 of them were by tournaments with prize and one was to understand better the rules of game and this way prepare me for that tournament. My opponents had and have weak bkr's and i don't know how, but i have 2457 points. I don't like very much of plakoto game and i must only play more plakoto games by tournaments with prize or by team tournaments.

So, i'm not going play more plakoto games and accept invitations only because i'm in first place. There're others games as PahTum or Spider Linetris where i only played few games and i have bad ratings and i don't play them too, because i don't like very much of them. The reason is the same, and if you want to be in the top, you must fight to change this wrong rating calculation (in my opinion, of course). With my idea about rating calculation, i would only have few points, and would be more fair, as i tried to explain before.

To finish, your post, trying to take advantage of this discussion for i accept your invitation, was worthy of a failled oportunist. I'm disappoint with you.

AbigailII: Did you already see that rating calculation in some game site for say if is good or bad? I don't think so.

If i talked about that is because i know a game site where that system exists and it's very good. Besides, there's a similar system in Portuguese Checker Federation and in many others Checker Federations, so you say nonsenses.

With the knowledge i have, in this moment, about brainking and about many games that there're here, i can create a new account and i would be in first place in many ratings, playing 4 games with good players and winning, and then i would only play with weak opponents and would make 25 games, maintaining my first place. I'm not obligated to play against second person in rating, so it's easy to be in the top and maitain me there.

With the other rating calculation that i talked before, you will have many difficulties to do it.

Sorry, but you see BKR system in some sports? It would be funny see in Tennis, a new player make 4 games and with lucky (or not) win those 4 games and become the number one of the world ahahah...or see a new country like Timor make 4 games in football and be in first place in Fifa rating.

Like in everything in life, to be in the top is need "fight"...here is necessary make 4 games and then play against weak opponents. Great.

joshi tm: I think that isn't the point. For me, everybody must start each game rating with 1000 or 1200 points and each victory give between 10 and 50 points, in accordance with BKR opponent. For me would be the more correct rating calculation and would be necessary play many games and play against best players to be in the top.
Besides, it doesn't must be very difficult to do it (the new rating calculation, of course).

Fencer: I know, but in this situation will be more easy for a player manage his rating, playing only with weak players and maintaining a high rating. On the other hand, a player with 2 defeats in first 6 games, for example, will have big difficulties to ascend quickly in same rating.

MrWCF: Welcome to BrainKing my friend.

I disagree with this rating calculation, because is very unfair. In Plakoto happened me the same thing. I did 4 games against players
with weak BKR and now i have 4 games, 4 victories and 2457 points. For me, a player with 4 games cannot be in first place.
This way is very easy to be in first places without big troubles. This isn't my idea about competition. For me, to be the first is need play many games and beat the best players and this don't happen here.

AbigailII:

Hrqls: Yes, of course. I thought that system was already created some time ago. I didn't see Fencer post. lol.

(V): If i understood, a player can only have 50 (35+10+5) vacation days a year, right? So, how is possible a person have 70 (35+35) vacation days a year? It was a bug or i didn't understand anything... <img>

joshi tm: Yes, why not? If everybody want do achievements, nobody will want do black achievements, but sometimes we can do it against our intention, so why not create both?

joshi tm: Sorry, but ridiculous was your understanding. The goal would be don't achieve an achievement, of course. Besides, my idea is very usual in others situations. In USA, you have Oscares for the best movie, for the best actor, for the best actress, etc., and in the day before, there's an event where is choosed the worst movie, actor, actress, producer, etc. Of course, nobody want be the worst actor and actress, right?

And about my idea, i can understand that block users by 5 or 10 players, block users in 5 discussion boards are bad ideas or dubious ideas, but 10 consecutive lose games (with or without time-out), 5 or 10
consecutive lose games (with or without time-out) in same type of game, etc. would be interesting...

Undertaker.: Of course, it's a brilliant idea.

joshi tm: I understand your point, but that can be a dubious question. I don't want make "1000 moves in 1 day". However, you would want say that an archievement is a good thing (something like a guiness book lol) and my proposal is the contrary. :)

But if we're created achievements, so why not create bad achievements or something like that? Block users by 5 or 10 players; block users in 5 discussion boards; block users 5 times in the same discussion board; 10 consecutive lose games (with or without time-out); 5 or 10 consecutive lose games (with or without time-out) in same type of game.

So, is it a good idea?

Fencer: And about blocked users? It would be interesting explorer that. Blocked users by 5 or 10 players, for example. lol. I think nobody knows the number of players that block us, so would be a surprise...Well, I don't know if this is a great archievement, but i would like to see it. :)

Hi!
In Brainking.pt we're discussing about including another type of Checkers, that could be named Spanish Checkers, or Portuguese Checkers (no matters, are the same rules). As you know, the closest Checkers we have are Czech Checkers, but there are several diferencies that, in our opinion, justify this new inclusion. What do you think about that?

You can find a petition for the portuguese/spanish checkers here:
