All the gammons, halma 8x8 and howabout throwing in one of your promised new games for the fun of seeing how quick people get teams together. Actually dont know why I said that because Im back at work tomorrow, but it is an idea!
BIG BAD WOLF: Having vacation days on multi-player games, especially ones that are really large, cannot possibly work. Since we all take vacations at different times, a 3 or 4 days per move time control would turn into a week and a half to two weeks time control. So I think the best option is simply not to use autofinish in these.
joshi tm: As I have said many times, I am not at home yet, so there will be no changes until I come back. When you have looked at your profile, you have surely noticed that public holidays are still valid, so you have 45 days in fact and there is no point to shout at me.
Fencer: As you have promised, public holidays aren't there anymore so you would give us 5 extra vacation days. When I look at my profile I see that there are 40 days left not 45!
All right, since we already have 2007 here, the action is over and I would like to thank everyone who supported us by taking advantage of it. Back to my champagne.
does the setting for parameters when creating a game work?... I remember something about this a few months back, and then it didn't work as I recall.... does it work now? I really don't care to start a game in waiting and then have unrated players or someone not in my BKR range accept them...
MadMonkey: I think multi-player (3+) games would be a great addition to this site. At GT, out of my 150 games there - now over 1/2 are multiplayer games - they make some games much better.
I'm not sure how much work it would be - but now that Fencer is looking at autopass, maybe he can start looking at multi-player games also.
Even though the one suggestion I would make is PLEASE make separate ratings for 2 player & 3+ player games. With multi-player games, the chances of losing raises and brings down most all ratings. Plus for many games, it changes the way you play enough that it is basically different games you are playing.
BIG BAD WOLF: I understand what you say, but i think its about time we started looking at the future. As Mousetrap says, thats the only good thing about Goldtoken, multi-player games. Rather than keep adding more & more 2 player games, why not start to think at least about up to 4 player ones. Yahtzee is a great example of a game that is alot better with more than 2 players.
We already have games here which are much better with 3 or 4 players (Ataxx & Assimilation). I am not a programmer, but surely to start writing/coding the games now for more than 2 players would be better than having to re-code ALL the games in say a year or so.
Also there is the other way, single player games as well. Mastermind, is a great example when you are playing a computer.
Mousetrap: Well great! If you get run over by a bus, then you don't need the money anyway - spend it at BrainKing for all your on-line friends to enjoy!
Mousetrap: Well if he were to ever sell, i would think the current memberships would be part of the sell. So currently a black rook is worth 5 years of rook membership - so if you think you will still be playing of the site in 5 years, then it is a good deal.
MadMonkey: The only problem with that is lets say i'm going to take a 5 day vacation - ponds are about the only non-vacation games I will play. Plus I always try to join 4 day+ ponds. Which if I move on day one of a pond, then the last day of the next move - it is really 8 days (giving me enough time for vacations). If the ponds started to automatically go when all moves done, then some sort of vacation would then need to be applied to the ponds also. (in my opinion)
