Fencer: I don't think refactored is a word, or if it is, that it means what you want to say . . . did you mean to say "redesigned"?

Thema: a little settings problem

Fencer: there are too many settings options to fit in a single horizontal line (with my default font), unless I open my browser in full screen. why not split it into 2 lines? or make submenus?
(in french the line is almost full. as can be expected, in german it overflows already)

Thema: Pictures

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.

Thema: Re: 'Type of game' on the tournament page

Fencer: Like 'Backgammon', 'Nackgammon', etc. for one type tournament; like 'Gammons' for mixed gammon types; or like 'Different' for different type of games.

TC: What do you mean by "fails 'type of game' column"?

Thema: 'Type of game' on the tournament page

On the tournaments page, fails 'type of game' column. The name column does not give the right info. Some of them are in other languages also. Would be good, to see 'type of game' without clicking on it!

Thema: Re: Tourney changes

Daniel Snyder: Once a tournament is set up, the time limit can not be changed.

The only thing that can be changes is the title & description - and only after it is approved.

Thema: Tourney changes

When someone is signed up for a tourney... the director of the tourney should notify when changes are made in the time mode... Or now allow any chages once the tourney is complete...

Thema: Re: streaks

Thad: people could start to play for streaks ... starting a lot of games and only finishing the ones first in which they are winning .. could deliver weird stats

Thema: Re: streaks

mctrivia: Yes, that's what I mean. Wins (or losses) in a row starting with the most recently completed game and counting backwards.

Thema: Re: streaks

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

Thad: What do you mean by a "streak"?

15. Dezember 2005, 03:49:23

playBunny

I'd like to be able to hide someone and have the Remove-from-hidden control on the Blocked User page rather than at the top of the board. That way I don't have to have that person's name adding insult to injury by being right in my face when I visit a board.

Thad

Thema: streaks

I would like to see info on a player's streak in games, maybe even split for overall consecutive wins/losses and also by game type. I would like to see it both in a player's stats in his (or her) profile and in a table of the top streaks for each game. As a serious pente player, I have had streaks of 40+ wins and I know of another player who topped 50 consecutive wins at another site. It would be fun to see more of that of information.

Summertop

Thema: Espionage

Fencer, please don't get upset. I am just looking for an update on when the espionage games will be completed. Last I heard, you were still planning on adding a captured pieces list like every other game has. A new variation of froglet came out, so I was wondering...

I know there has been some debate as to "what" captured pieces to show. In the board game, you get to see the pieces. So, maybe you should just mirror that. However, anything is better than nothing.

alanback: No need to do anything else. Just ignore him!
Well i actually don't follow my advice and have a "

conversation

" with him, and i lead him into more madness. When he asks why i agree with Trice(a name that makes him mad) i respond because Trice is a nice guy etc... When he asks if i'm using a computer i respond that yes around 10 different! When he says something accusing me i respond that he is right. That makes him unbelievably more mad and angry! I stay calm as always and enjoy this very much.....

Trust me, the name was not needed for me to know who you meant.

Meddy is correct though, listing the name is not .... appropriate here.

I'm sure once Fencer comes online he'll have a suggestion.

MidnightMcMedic

Wrong, I have dealt with them on many occassions for as long as I have been on BK. People have tried to give you suggestions on what to do to hide the in game messages. There is no need to discuss who it is on this board.

14. Dezember 2005, 04:56:21

Thema: Re: Turn off game chat

alanback: I believe you can put the person on your blocked users list, which will also block all in-game chat. They can still write to you, but you will never see it if I remember correctly.

You will not be able to get PM's from them either, but I'm guessing that will not be a problem.

Let us know if it turns it off, otherwise please take the 'chat' about it to another board :) Thanks

Please give me an option to turn off game chat, so I don't have to put up with the nonstop babbling of a certain paranoid schizophrenic I was matched with in a tournament! (Yes, it's that one!)

Thema: Shogi tooltips

How about adding the piece names as tooltips when we hold the mouse over the shogi pieces? So when I hold the mouse over a pawn, a tooltip pops up saying "Pawn".
I thought about it because I have a hard time distinguishing some of the captured pieces, since they are smaller. But it would be useful on the pieces on the board too, for people switching from westernized to traditional pieces.

This could perhaps be optional, and it's also possible for people to turn of tooltips in their browser (well at least in my browser) if they don't like them.

Thema: hey I just had a brainking brainstorm

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
