The Usurper: I'm happy for your effort and would be great if new variants was introduced in BK but, unfortunatelly, Fencer don't like checkers, so it's difficult. He prefers introduce games that nobody plays, but he's the boss. We can't do anything. So, the best is search new variants in other sites and leave BK.

!Undertaker!: Thanks but I'm getting my money's worth on BK even if no new variations are introduced. And I'm not so pessimistic about future possibilities.

The Usurper: But you should be pessimist, Usurper. Undertaker is wright, Fencer simply HATES checkers. I don't think he introduces games where he's the boss, but I believe he runs for "comercial reasons"! Dice games are stupids. I think that everybody with some kind of inteligence in his/her head can understand that we can't compare Chess or checkers or reversi, to gammon's, Ludo's, or other stupid games like un incredible "Dice chess". But those are the most played games. They "sell" (in) brainking. So, checkers get weaker... adding to Fencers hate to the game, he is not a "commercial success". And now, I must agree with Undertaker: for checkers lovers, there's no chances in Brainking.
Well, but in other sites things are different. ItsYourTurn, Kurnik or Ludoteka. In Ludoteka, for example, checkers are "queens" of the site. Classic checkers are the most played game, but you can play all those great variants that Fencer avoid in Brainking. That's a good option, I think (and a lot of checkers players from brainking can be found there, too).
Well (and resuming),Brainking is a great site, for almost all games... but not for checkers! ;)

Gabriel Almeida: I would not say Fencer HATES checkers - it's that he is not a checkers player, which in turn makes it harder to program games in which you don't play nor know how to play. For example, Fencer did not play backgammon - and it took a lot of time to get the cube introduced for the game - and that only happened after I set down, and wrote up detailed and easy to read instructions about all the different things that go into a cubed backgammon game.

Now I'm not saying this will work in helping get the game, but it can't hurt. (and I'm not a checkers "player", so there is not much I can do.)

But what I think would help is if on this board, someone take the time and makes a detailed post about the proposed game & how it is different from what is already here. (I say on the public board instead of private PM since a private PM can get lost - and you can always point to a public post if needed.)

After that is done, then we would just need to wait until Fencer is in a programming mood... since you can tell from the past, new games usually come is "waves" since he is usually in a programming mood and will do a few at a time, then take a break, then make a few more at a later date.

... anyway, that is my opinion on how to get additional games on the site.

coan.net: I think that is terrific advice and I'll take that back to the fellowship and see if we can get a consensus on a first variant & a writer.
