Bry: exactly

i asked for the same thing 11. September 2003, 07:33:10
how about somewhere to save some of our mails , out of our message box , i save some of my mail to check on things as they finnish ect , could we have an option to save these mails to a saved area in our mailbox

we got the notepad lol

Jason: true .. we have the notepad .. but thats only 1 'folder' as well

as i am a translator of this site (dutch) and now getting some info back from some beta testers i would like to store those messages in a separate folder to keep them grouped so i can have a look at them more closely when i have more time (not from work ;))

i can imagine some pms being sent back and forth about some strategies in some games as well .. which would be nice to group .. so i can have a 'five in line strategies' folder with all messages about that

i cant do that in notepad either ... or there could be more than 1 notepad folder ;)

(ok i can always save things local on my computer .. but then i wont have it when i am at home)

yes i agree thats why i said lol , lol ;)

Jason: lol :)

Yes.

Can the menu entries on the left (or top) have a slightly bigger space between them? This would be helpful for those links that wrap around and occupy 2 lines - they look like two separate menu entries and that may not always be obvious, leading to confusion.

I'm used to it by now and know the place of every option by heart. But for newcomers it might help a little.

Hrqls: I am the german translator and my beta testing and reviewing army is marching with messages in my message box ... the ability to make folders or only to mark messages as unread would help

chessmec: lol .. a whole army ?? ... glad i dont have so many ;) .. although the ones that i have are flooding me already ;)

it will be fun to compare the dutch and german translations :)

Hrqls: You can have a look at my "army" in my profile ... 4 rules are to translate, then all is done :-)

chessmec: nice army indeed! ;)

the dutch version has 93 items left .. 67 rules, the rest are help and faq .. the big texts ...
it seems germany beat holland once again in the last minutes ;)

Hrqls: 2 rules are now to translate, then finito (alpha) - then i will corrct with the suggestiions from my army and then all finished (in some days)

By the way: I am from austria ... when did austria beat The Netherlands :-( ?

But of course ... The Netherlands had victory with an AUSTRIAN trainer - ernst happel :-)

chessmec: eh ... oops ... blush ... i dont know .. i am not that much into sports ;) .. i just repeated what everyone said about soccer games between germany and the netherlands :)

nothing bad about austria of course ;)

yes i know ... this is :)

Hrqls: is it off-topic too that no items are remaining to translate in german? all done ... look at my profile (fencer must activate it, wait a moment) :-)
Now making final beta revision with my army! YEAAAAH!!!!

chessmec: hehe congrats!!!! you work too hard ;)

Back to Feature Requests, please!

:-)

Thanks!

rod03801:

Can anybody give some info what ladders are for and what is idea behind it.

eagle eye: Ask BIG BAD WOLF, I already forgot the basic idea :-)

Why not make a new Battleboat with fake boats ?
You can have one or two and the point is that you don`t know if you hit a boat or a "duck"
The game will take longer time to play and are much harder.

Blackadder Mr K: That's just a battleboat variant with more boats. Except that you might be lucky and you win before you've sunk all.

A hard battleboats variant I used to play was that, just as in dark battelboats, you always get three shots. But if your salvo has any hits, all you are told are how many hits you have - not which shots were hits. But I wouldn't play such a variant here, just as I don't like playing dark chess or espionage on turn based sites.

AbigailII: If you could tell me where I could play dark chess in real time I'd be most interested.

grenv: Sometimes when I'm online, I'll be gald to play you a couple of games till completion.

reza: I was just curious if there was a site that had a realtime version with clocks etc. I haven't seen one yet. Not that I have the time for such distractions very often anyway...

grenv: Oh I see. If you find any such site, I'll be very glad to join if possible. I love dark chess though am no expert in it.

I think anyone using the cloak mode option should have the privilege to see what others are doing removed!

Czuch Chuckers: I liked that......!

Czuch Chuckers: sounds fair

Who cares? Just play the games and forget about the cloak and dagger nonsense.

Byzantine chess
Here is Link to more information.

eagle eye: it's a competitive ranking system, the games should not count toward
bkr ratings, thus ... you give up games lightly for challenging higher opponents who
will help you climbing faster - a win brings you up to the rank of the defeated one ... ~*~

grenv: finally you found out for what a gameserver is meant, wow - congrats ... ~*~

Fencer: can I assume that ladders are a long ways away then?

Summertop: Hey, seems to be VERY interesting this byzantine chess, however i miss a 3D-Chess as Mr. Spock always played (this is half a joke ;-) )

Vikings: no need to assume by measure of indifferent terms, order is listed above ... ~*~

chessmec: suggested a 4x4x4 cube already, kings in opposite corners,
pawns would share a cell with an officer in the start position - magic detail is the
amount of cells equalling the amount of squares in real chess, smoothest transits. ~*~

I know that I already asked Fencer and he said he would think about this... but I'd love to hear others feedback...

What about an option to create in-game discussion open for all viewers? In Plente o' Pente f/s we are holding an Unrated Tourney for teaching, learning, and discussing strategy... it would be nice for all of us to read the comments of others....

grenv AbigailII reza: Yes, I'd like to play Dark Chess live. It'd be a hoot! Speed Dark Chess would be crazy. A slower paced timed game would be very challenging.

Czuch Chuckers: Good idea!
I have no wish to know what others are doing either!

Anyone taking the time to actually activate "cloak mode" is paranoid about something. What is it?

People who are worried about people who have activated cloak mode are paranoid about something. What is it?

grenv: I've had on multiply occasions someone harras me for doing things that I have done. Normally I would not care if people see what I'm doing, but like other things - a few bad apples ruin it all. So I believe the cloak feature is a good thing.

BIG BAD WOLF: in my opinion the cloak feature is lame, because you are seen online. what about a completely undecover function? in some cases this function can be helpful :-)

chessmec: I would be for it - I'm for anything which can help the users privacy - and help protect them from some of the idiots which roam this site.

that some of us feel we have to use cloak. I am tired of ppl saying to me "why are you looking at my profile" er cuz it's there is the best answer I can come up with!!
Why were you on such an such FS for so long? why this, what that? the whole idea of ppl watching your every move is sooo Big Brother that im glad cloak mode is available. If you dont like me on cloak mode then hide me, block me do what ever you feel you must do but Im glad it is a feature here!!

Rose: but the real question is Rose, what are you doing reading this board? And why were you on this board for more than 17.5 seconds?

JamesHird: now, we all jnow that we do not only work when we are working. between work we are switching to non-working things - e.g. brainking.com - and it can be helpful to do this in an anonymous way :-)

chessmec: ???
I was making a joke with Rose. I agree with cloak as it stops questions etc.
I also agree with your suggestion more about being completely invisible when online.
I suggest that only people on your own friends list can see you when you are online

JamesHird: Yes! I don,t mind friends seeing when I am online. But why I have to see what some people are doing when I read the boards makes no sense. Sure this is using resorches that could be used better elsewhere.

JamesHird: I suggest that only people on your own friends list can see you when you are online
that seems to be worth to discuss!
