BrainKing - Diskussionsborde (BrainKing.com)

I find it funny how some people just can't have a fun game without someone saying good game, or good luck, or even the short-cut versions of gg / gl. On another site, I even had someone quit our games because I did not say it. (one thing I like about IYT - it automatically puts good luck at the start of the game, and send good game with the finished game message.)

I often try to send a "Good Luck & Have Fun! ☺" message at the start of my games - which I have easily put in my profile so I can quickly find it to copy-paste it. But many times when I play, I stick my keyboard on the floor so I have desktop space for papers and other stuff I work on.... while playing games with my mouse, so typing is something I don't..... I mean this is a game site - a game site is a place to play games, not chat. Chatting is an extra and a lot of people like it - but to be upset with others who actually come to a game site to play games......????? Anyway, this is not directed towards anyone, but thought I would let you know how I feel about the situation.

Emne: Re:

coan.net: I understand what you etal are saying... , but to use the option of totally removing the message box is totally rude and uncalled for, IMO!

The above link is a great firefox extension that will take care of the problem for most people. who like me and BBW, dont have access to our key boards for one reason or another..... dont let the name fool you, I put in a few different greetings, for example good luck, or congrats great game, I even paste in greetings in different languages, then they are all just one click away from being pasted into any message box!!!!

(the only problem I have is that when I say hello to someone in their native language, I end up having to try and explain that i dont really speak their language!)

Anyway, instead of taking advantage of this "new" option to remove chat options, try this extension instead, like doolittle says, its only a common courtesy!

. I mean this is a game site - a game site is a place to play games, not chat.

Kind of an ironic comments coming from someone who volunteers to watch over and moderate every public board on this site?

Emne: Re:

Czuch: How is it ironic? When I play games - I play games. When I discuss on the discussion boards, i discuss. I don't like to play games on the discussion board... and I don't like to chat too much during the games.

That is just how I feel. Others can do what they like.

Emne: Re:

coan.net: Its ironic because you seem to be able to find your key board plenty when it comes to playing on the discussion boards, but when it comes time to play your games, all of a sudden it is buried too deep to make a decent "hello" or "good luck"????

Anyway, I have offered you a nice way to say hello without using your key board, but I wonder if it was merely an excuse, or if you truly care to give any time to a greeting in your games?

Emne: Re:

Czuch: I've already said how I make a "Good Luck & Have Fun! ☺" - I go to my profile, copy and then paste. It's not a top priority for me to do during a game, but like I said - i try to do it since I have found it makes some people happy.

Emne: Re:

coan.net: Thats nice, and this extension makes it even easier, not to mention, you can make more options for you as well! Why waste time going to your profile or notepad everytime you want to paste soemthing into a game note???

BTW, how do you find time to unbury your keyboard when you need to use it for a discussion board, but cant seem to do it when playing games? Please... maybe you could make life simpler for the rest of us mortals?

Emne: Re:

Czuch: Sorry, done playing this game with you. I could again repeat myself how only sometimes I don't have access to my keyboard... or repeat myself on how I normally send an opening game greeting..... So before you decide to reply, feel free to read what I've already posted. Honestly - it should not change.
