eagle eye: Simple definition of Gambling. Placing money down in the hopes of wining more money back.

JackFiveOff: Any company using PAT would only have 1 person in the entire company access at once. Wouldn't work for wireless hot spots.

Why would someone want to make more then one account. As for stoping them you could make them show ID but there would be know way stoping them from using someone elses ID for the secound account.

JackFiveOff: Ya unfortunetly there is absoulutely nothing you can do to stop cheaters.

JackFiveOff: I have no clue what you mean. But seting up a web site is not expensive. $9 a year for a domain name. $4 a month for a high bandwidth low space web server in the US.

Walter Montego: I don't know Backgammon but I would consider Dark Chess a game of skill just like poker is a game of skill. It involves knowing your odds and playing acordingly. As for 50/50 it does not have to be that specifically. Fencer should get a cut to help keep the site going. Besides in a tournament with 20 people in it, 10 peoples entrence is a lot still.

BIG BAD WOLF: Here is an idea. If the laws in Check allow it maybe Fencer should think of starting a new site(brainkingmoney.com it is available). And have only games of skill chess, penta, reversi, ect were the gambling can be done. This way BrainKing.com can't be blocked for gambling and Fencer can rake in a lot of dow from the gamblers. Have everything 50/50 type tournaments. Fencer gets half the winer gets half.

cryptoguru: I am Canadian. And I agrea with you.

grenv: I don't beleive it is ilegal if you can't cash out in the form of money. I.E. have to pay membership or buy shirts. But I am not a lawywer though. Also being an internet site. I beleive the laws of the country the server and offices are in are what mater.

I was woundering if there could ba a way I could post my current BKR for one or several games on my own web site using either SSI or a on the fly generated graphic with a 4 digit number in it. My server has the capability of executing prety much any type of scripting.

I was thinking of puting an ad for BrainKing on my web site and would like to be able to include my BKRs in the ad. It would also be nice if I could add something so you could track people I refered and have myself added to the brain referel automatically.

reza: Gramatical errors aside(reza you are correct) I agrea with Big Bad Wolf it would be nice to be able to edit notes.

I would love to be able to imbed pictures into my messages without using links. I can think of many reasons to why this may be bad but was thinking that to allow the BigBoss to imbed pictures from there own server might be nice. Even if they could do it for news events only.

Fencer: 5 in a row 10 in a row is called a winning or losing streak depending if it is 5 wins or 5 losses

Shoot until you miss version of battle boats.

playBunny: very true I forgot about that.

grenv: split the hexagons like this

Would make it reletively easy to implement and low picture combinations.

grenv: I have seen CGI applications that will generate images on the fly. This could be used to make up the board. Another option is break each box down into smaller parts so you are on a rectangular board with only a few pieces being part of each players.

WhiteTower: yes I understod. just thinking back to the original idea more then 2 player games. And then limiting to must be playable in a rectangualr grid.

Even risk could be played on a rectangular grid if you drew up a similar map with lines connecting points instead of actual country boarders.

WhiteTower: I can understand the rectangular structure it makes things a lot easier. But card games could easily be done in a rectangulare structure.

grenv: ya my spelling may be bad but you can usually sound it out.

WhiteTower: HTML doesn't have to be rectangular if you make one large picture and use cowardenent maping.

WhiteTower: Risk is a cool game. ANy one ever play stock ticker?

WhiteTower: curious to how that would work?

nobleheart: Kenasta(not sure if I spelt it write), Hearts, and dominoes would be cool.

playBunny: I am in embeded software. But would have no clue how to write a program to do that.

Would be cool if the first time a new event shows up you had the option to play a short audio clip to get your attention. This would be good if you are playing and doing something else while waiting for your oponent to make a move or waiting for a reply in a message board.

playBunny: Well I don't see a problem with hitting the refresh button each time I finish reading all the messages. It is just a little bit of a pain to have to either keep hiting refresh myself or to go to the main page and wait.

playBunny: It should work like this:

When you log on to a message board and there is a new message refresh is turned off. If no new messages it will be in whatever state you left it in.(or just on by default). It should stop autorefreshing as soon as there is a new message so you can read in peace and start again when you press the link.

playBunny: yes but when you first join this should be off so you can read all the previus posts. This is good if people are posting a lot to a board.

Not sure if this is possible but instead of the refreshing of the message boards create your own irc server and anything posted on the message board would also be posted on the IRC chat room of the same name and anything posted on the IRC chat room would also be posted on the message board. If you did this you could also have an IRC boat in the chat rooms that would send them a private message with the last 20 messages if they asked for it.

Would be nice if there was a little check box or link at the top of the page to make a chat room start refreshing when you are done reading everything.

playBunny: that would sure make thing interesting

Can you put in a Sudoku Chalenge? Not a 2 player game but they can be chalenging. And it could be a timed chalenge keep track of who solves them in the least amount of time or so. Or just something to do while you wait for your oponents to make a move.

sphere battleboats plus you can put your boats over the edges

rod03801: ya that would be kind of cool.

rod03801: how would that work? start in the centre?

Allow <U> </U> html tags

frolind: lol well in that case I totally misunderstood.

frolind: Well that is one thing. Being able to use that information to your advantage is also important. Never played shogi though.

takodori: Being able to figure out statistics like that on your aponent is what makes a good player. If the site gave it to you it would be taking a way a little of the skill involved.

ColonelCrockett: I don't know would have to ask Fencer.

To spead up game play a little it would be nice if once your apponent accepts a game both players can set up there boards right away. Instead of player 1 seting up his then player 2 seting up theres.

Fencer: I think you have mistaken what I am asking for. I am not asking for something to show everyones real names. I am sugesting the ability for the user if they know someones real name(I.E. my friends) they can type it in and it will show up instead of there silly nick name or beter yet have both show suck as "Mark D(sdgjksdgetj)" so you still know what to call them in public forems. Everyone else would see them as sdgjksdgetj. You may see him as "Big Guy(sdgjksdgetj) and someone else may see him as "cool man(sdgjksdgetj)". Each user would by default see him as sdgjksdgetj but people could if they wanted rename him to a name that only shows up for them.

Fencer: Well then just limit it to 15 letters for this also. If I could see "Mark D" instead of sdgjksdgetj(not actual user name) it would be a lot easier. I don't need to see his whole name. Just something a little easier for me to recognice then the silly name he put in.

harley: Yes I saw this but what I was sugesting would show up on boards and game listing as well not just my friends list.

Would be nice if under setings you could set the type of games you are willing to play then only those games would show up in waiting games.

For example only games with time per move between 1 day and 7 days.

How about allowing people to put a persons real name with there friends nick names. For example if I have Fencer in my friends list I could set his real name as "Filip Rachunek" and any time I read a post writen by Fencer or see a game created by him it would show up as Filip Rachunek(Fencer).

Pedro Martínez: ya I see that now. 4000 games that is rediculus. To make 1 move per day in each you could only take 21 secounds per move. And that doesn't consider sleep. 100 sec a move if you want 1 move a week and 8 hours sleep a day.

ScarletRose: Some people Like Fencer have played over 7000 games. Over 3 years(2002 to present) that isn't to unreasonable

Fencer: never thought of that. Thanks
