ScreaminMime: Ludo needs that badly.

Is there anyway to prevent internal SPAM? Someone on here sent the same message to over 60 people today. The said part is only 3 people cared what it said, to the rest, it's just SPAM.

I would like to beable to use this site on my cell phone. I'll be looking for that feature soon!!!

just make all my BKR's 2700 and we'll call it even

Fencer: Wow.....

Auto-Move??? Auto-Play??? Auto-Pass!!

broken link?

BIG BAD WOLF: LOL at profile version 7.8!!!

true, I was just wondering how much of my life I've spent on here lol.

fencer, does the DB keep track of amount of time logged into BK and if so, could we have a top 10 list please?

google=great spell checker. It will figure out what you are trying to spell most of the time.

that's part of the game clay. the people with the higher ratings are the ones that have figured out how to stay around the longest. what difference does 500 points make when all the bids are that high?

nice!

I wish the big boss of a f/s could still ban/hide users from posting.

when I lots of free time I would run with over 500 games going all the time. Now I can bearly keep up with 100.

? what is that supposed to mean???

I would like a number of ponds won or something on our profiles...

doh, I thought this was that board, my bad

find the nearest brick wall and tell it. you'll have better luck with the wall then with Fencer.

I still say just fill the whole sqaure in with black!

How about in Amazons, when you shot an arrow, the whole square turns solid black. I think that would make it easier to see the positions on the board.

how about both? Average MPD and all-time move leaders.

I think last time Harley was number 1. Heck the scary part is I was number 10 lol

It's just for information purposes. Who cares who's at the top?

Harley and Builder Q, you are both missing what I'm asking for. I would like to see a list with the TOTAL number of moves made by person from the day they started on the site. Not the highest number in one day and not the total from yesterday. Understand now?

I.E. Backoff=197,647 or something like that.

Na it's just another SQL fuction, just like the other 4 tables list there. See how's he has total number of games played on the finished games page? I'm just asking for total number of moves made.

That's finished games but not all-time number of moves.

Seeing as how the stats page is just SQL quries, how about 50 players with the most moves of all times. Not in one day but total.

Quick question. Are fellowship DB mod's going to get the ban/hide feature back?

LMAO@ugh!!!!

LMAO. I have an excel spreadsheet on everybody I've played here and I will use it :). So what's the FBI's e-mail address again...

I would like to request a "Boss" button like this one Here

I play at work and when I'm at work, my boss will sometimes try to take a quick look at what I'm doing. I simple page like that one would help me out alot! Thanks

I was wondering when the auto-pass debate would start again lol.

or just check boxes to select the games you want or decline the ones you don't.

ummm ugh, don't you have like a 4500 rating at tablut :)

And I think the lower rated player should have an advantage. Like in chess the higher rated player on gets 1 rook and 1 knight, no pawns or queens..:)

j/k

Fencer, I agree with that. In some games (Tablut for instance), which side you are on makes a huge difference.
RL, the system we use in the CC is fine for the small number of people we have, however, as seen at IYT, that systems isn't too good for large numbers of people.

I still think the rung system is better than the ranked ladder system (i.e. the one we use in the chess club). Mabye we could fire up the poll link and see what all the members think?

but the rest of the site kinda sucksa, that's why I play here :P

lol IMHO the GT system is the best around.

well for every gmae it's different. The chess ladders will be very slow to move, while games like backgammon will move faster and some games will see movment in the rungs daily.

lol that works or every 4. I think it will add a new level of fun to the games here.

ummm the only way I see to make it better is to call it the BK ladder system :) I think mabye to start games right away if you have two people on the rung instead of games starting only once per day.

Here this is stright off the GT ladder info page:

Ladders
What is a ladder?
Almost everyone is familiar with the concept of a gaming ladder. Each player occupies a rung of the ladder. New players start at the bottom rung. Players on lower rungs challenge those on higher rungs to games, and if they win, they move up to the higher rung. After enough games are played, the ladder will represent, more or less, the relative skill level of the players in the ladder, with the best players at the top of the ladder.

But how does that work on a turn-based gaming site?
While this concept works well for games that may take an evening to play in over the board competition, it isn't extremely well-suited for correspondence gaming, where a game can take several months to play. By having to challenge each player on higher rungs, it could take a great player literally years or dozens of years to climb to the top of a ladder with only a few hundred players in it.

So we've taken the basic ladder concept and tweaked it a bit so that it works well in a turn-based gaming environment by making the following changes:

Instead of one player per rung, there can be many people on the same rung
About once per day, all available players on a single rung are randomly paired up in challenge games
A player who wins a game moves up to the next higher rung
A player who loses a game moves down to the next lower rung, with rung 1 being the lowest possible rung
Players who draw will remain together on the same rung
Three times per year, the rungs are compressed to ensure that good players have an opportunity to climb the ladder

Fencer, once a day the system checks the rungs to see who isn't playing a ladder game and then radomly pairs the players on the same rungs up.

grenv, it's another gamesite, like (but not as good) as BK

sure they do, as an example right now for there backgammon ladder:

Backgammon Ladder Stats
Rung 14: 1 player
Rung 13: 1 player
Rung 12: 2 players
Rung 11: 2 players
Rung 10: 5 players
Rung 9: 8 players
Rung 8: 13 players
Rung 7: 16 players
Rung 6: 29 players
Rung 5: 29 players
Rung 4: 49 players
Rung 3: 57 players
Rung 2: 99 players
Rung 1: 109 players
Total: 420 players

I like the way they do the ladders on GT. Everyone starts on rung one. The games are setup by the server so you can't choose who you are playing (keeps strong players from chosing easy wins). The system pairs you up with someone from your rung (i.e. rung 1 at the start). When the game is complete, the winning player moves up a rung (i.e. to 2) and the losing player moves down 1 rung (or stays on rung 1, as it's the lowest you can go.) Does this make sense?

wow, thanks

Hey Fencer, if your not busy, I'd like to know the total number of moves I've made on the site :). & possibly the top 10 movers of all times. Thanks.
