Emne: Re: Disabling all invites.

Thanks for posting about this - I thought I had disabled all of my invites, but after reading this I found that they were all still there - since I guess it did not accept it when I chose to show no invites.

So I just made it so only 1 game is shown - even though I will reject those invites also. Would also like to see it possible to turn off all invites instead of the all but 1 invite.

AbigailII: Let the game type that's open for invites be a game type where you don't have a rating. Then you wont get invites from people browsing the rating lists.

Emne: Re: March Action

pauloaguia: I agree, about the Knights/Bishops and Rooks.
Maybe the prizes should be relevant to level of membership a player has.
Obviously this would not apply to Black Rooks as membership is not relevant to THEM.
I think they should have a prize of another description, still based on Action points though.

MadMonkey: I think the difference between Knights/Bishops and Rooks in that matter is much more importante than between White and Black Rooks. And yet, they are all packed in the same category.
Most Baclk Rooks have AP's disabled, since they don't want to put up with the adds and/or there's nothing to gain in there for them. I also think it's fair to let Black Rooks enter a competition against as many players as possible - a dozen BlackRooks competing between themselves to win a prize is not nearly as fun as the same competition with over 100 players.

That said, I don't care either way because I have APs switched off

Emne: Re: March Action

joshi tm: Thats hardly fair on the people that may need to win a membership, spend all month trying to get it with Action points, then have to win a Tournament as well.....
If a Black Rook wants to do that i am sure they could afford to put up a prize for a Tournament anyway ! After all they could afford to be a Black rook.
Would you rather not like to win a new PC game, or brainking goodies or something useful to yourself.

MadMonkey: If one of us Black Rooks win, they should make a prize tournament or pond with the prize from the action.

Tilpasset af MadMonkey (5. Marts 2007, 15:12:58)

I think that Black Rooks should have a different monthly action to everyone else when it comes to membership being a prize(have PC games or something from brainking store for example).
Black Rooks obviously are here a lot and play many games, thats why they purchased the membership in the first place.
MOST normal players do not really stand a chance of beating them when it comes to Action points for obvious reasons.
All that will happen is it is won, then given as a prize in there own Tournaments or given away, not exactly fair for NON-Black Rooks and pointless for Black Rooks as they dont need it, let them win something else.

Emne: Re: Disabling all invites.

Fencer: I've a simple rule on all game sites I play: I never accept invitations. If I want to play a particular game with particular time settings, I join a tournament according that suits my tastes, or pick one from the waiting games page. I might even create my own tournament or post something on the waiting games page. I certainly don't want to explain to people why I reject their invitations, so currently whenever I get invited, I put the person inviting me on my blocked users list, then decline the invitation.

I don't invite random strangers to play - and I appreciate it not to be invited either.

I'm with Abigail on this one. I got a huge shock when I bought my membership and went mental with the tourney and team signups so disabling invites would be really good until I learn to control myself better. LOL

I currently have 133 games (27 tourneys) and I managed that in the space of a week or so. After being limited to 20 (1 tourney) for so many years I need time to get used to having that large a game list so disabling all invites would be really helpful! Although I don't have much control so I may not use it!! LOL

Fencer: Play tournaments? Reply to ads on the Waiting games page? Post ads on the waiting games page?

I don't understand your reply. Are you saying it's OK to ignore invites for 101 out of 102 games, but not to ignore them for 102? If that's so, could you tell us in which games the least invites happen, so I can leave that game enabled?

Emne: Disabling all invites.

How does one prevent oneself from getting invites? I can go to the game filter settings, and disable all games to receive invites for, but one. If I deselect them all, it just comes back with whatever was the previous setting. So the best I can do is disable all games, except for one. Is this a bug? Am I doing something wrong?

Emne: Re: hey Fenced

rappski: there are 2 types of flags on this site

1 flag is shown on everyones profile .. that with which country the user has registered himself

another flag is shown to select the language in which the site will be shown .. there are several translators who translated this site into other languages (e.g. vic and i translated the site into dutch) .. there is no american flag shown there because the site isnt translated into american .. an english flag is shown for the english translation though

for any discussions about politics or freedom of speech .. please use another board which is more aimed for that subject
