blue is a much better color for a Go board.
that's what my board is stained. the lines
are red. has a good feel to it.

Blue? Are you serious??

How about being able to pick any colours from the standard window colour menu? ... for any boards and/or pieces?

would it be possible to get one of the following..either volcano free espionage verion(s)or extra colors for the pieces.. such as blue or red or yellow or orange..etc...

Nothingness:It is all feasable just like the settings page where you may change all your options and game board sizes.

this option is not available for the espionage games as of yet.

I have some stairs set up and just added on Ludo..BUT,it set up ANOTHER backgammon stairs game because there is no way to edit it off of the set up page..it is at the top,with the option to add more stairs,well,now I have 2 gammon stairs..I would like to see a better edit mode for stairs and tourneys...you click on the games(s) that you want to add,period..if you don't click to confirm it,it doesn't get added.

it would be nice if we could set a favourite language for the boards

by this i mean a setting per user in which he/she can configure which board will be shown in the red number next to the fellowship name

it would be very nice if a different setting could be done per fellowship, but 1 favourite language for all fellowships would ok as well :)

i ask for this because i am in some fellowships which have czech as their main boards. i only see a red number next to the fellowshipname when there is a new post on the czech board. i wont be notified of a new post on the english or dutch board (which some of those czech fellowships have as well)

of course i can add all those english or dutch boards to my favourite boards, but that list is too long already :)

so it would be nice if i could set a language to be my favourite, which would then be used as the board which shows itself in the red number, and if that language is not available then the main board of that fellowship

Could we get an option to have only a portion (say, last ten) of the moves list shown. It's a big pain to look up the last move when I'm over 100 moves into a game (as is common in espionage and happens in other games too).

PS: I second Nothingness's request for volcano-free espionage games.

Thad: ... or be able to have the moves in reverse order with the last move at the top!

WhisperzQ: I asked for that a while back. Still hoping Fencer has it on his ToDo list.

Thanks to the very nice additions to the site, I'd like to see that the messages written in games, would be shown at the bottom of the page from down to up, meaning the first post is on top, then the reply and so on. This will be a lot easier to follow if after a few turns one wishes to go back through them. Thank you.

رضا: I actually prefer it the way it is...so maybe it would be better to have it as an option which way round each would like it....

Lamby: Sure!

رضا: Not sure why you would want to have the oldest messages on top, but I've got nothing against giving you that option :-)

alanback: The way it is now, you have the newest message on top, and as you move down, you hav ethe previous messages. So the line you read first is the answer to te line below it. Bt do you read a normal conversation from the end to the beginning?

So if the oldest message stands on top, and the newer ones go below it, instead of above it, when you read the whole message archive, you can easily follow the conversation as you read it from top to the bottom.

I'm not sure if I can fully express what I mean. Just take a look at a game of yours with a few lines of message, and you'll see it's hard to read the message archive from down to up!

رضا: lets say for example you come to a game and see a message like "I know what you mean, that's too funny!" But you don't remember what you wrote and what they are referring to, so a quick look at the top message will show you what you said that they are replying to, instead of having to scroll the whole way to the bottom to see what it was you said. But I can see that sometimes you might want it the other way as well!

TKR101010: Fencer is the only one who can do this. (And maybe Liquid?). It is 4am or so in Czech Republic, so I'm sure Fencer is sound asleep! But he will probably be on in a few hours.

rod03801: Thanks. I don't need the help anymore though. I was just excited and being impatient. Sorry.

I remember this game playing slightly different as a kid would be cool to have another variant.

1) Rolling 6 or 1 will get you out
2) Get to roll again if you roll a 6 or a 1
3) Consective rolls do not need to be done on the same piece. Can use 6 to get out then use next move on a different piece to move.
4) 4 players if possible.

mctrivia: I like cuz I get lots of ones!!!

I would love to see the ability to request a move "undo" from your opponent. It has happened to me many times that I make a move, only to notice an hour or 5 later that it was really bad.
Perhaps this could be an option in the new game creation parameters?

jurek: It would have to be only if the opponent allowed it and I for one would not. A move is a move.

Groucho: Of course. It would just be a request. Your opponent would have to OK the undo.

jurek: Part of "the game" is clicking the "move" button. I think once you've moved a "take back" takes away from the game. In many games, someone has to make a weaker move for the other to win. I've made a few blunders myself and would like to have had them back. But probably wouldn't have asked. it just doesn't seem right.

Groucho: maybe with the restriction of only in an unrated game

Vikings: The only use I can see for this is some kind of totour mode were a master can teach someone and the master can tell the puple to take back that stuped move and look again.

Vikings: True. It could have it's usefulness.

mctrivia: I remember this as well. However, you couldn't roll again on the one, just six. But you could bring a piece out on a one. And I also like the idea of being able to split the six and whatever roll between two pieces. I could save a ton of 'pass'es with these implemented. :D

Crissie : Split will be avaible , soon. Very soon :)

I would like the link button of each post to have the surrounding posts on the board shown too. Just as if you had scrolled back to the post. Then I could read all the posts, whether or not they're in the thread.

Hi there.
I have played the "Maharajah Chess" in this site for the first time and I dont know if there are some enthusiast here but playing as white is a bit boring.
Nevertheless I remember we used to play a more interesting chess variant (in my opinion) called: "Monster chess".
'm not sure if it is possible to suggest new games for the site, if thats the case my vote goes to it.
Here is a link in wikipedia about the game:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_chess
Enjoy the games.

Modified to fix link

i may be wrong but shouldn't you be able to move two different pieces if a six is thrown, as the other would be the re-roll in the board game of the version. i think this would add a greater dymnamic to the game as it does the original at the moment its a bit....well...i dont know but it just doesn't feel right

grant: There are many that think that, but the rules from Czech part of the world is that only 1 piece can be moved. Check out the Ludo Board - We have been discussing what we would like to see in a Ludo Variant, and being able to split up a roll is a popular opinion.

grant: I think the same. Allthought the game is quite boring anyway, sorry ludo lovers.

Salkkuman: yes it is quite boring, but by adding independant dice it would make it slightly less so.

I like the latest new feature

Vikings: on the statistic page?
edit: or isn't it new?

Mr. Shumway: the "show this user post" in the upper right hand corner of this message

The Show Thread feature is nice!

Vikings: Ah that one! Yes, that's nice!
But I never realized that you can change the number of counted games in the Top Players list, too ;)

Mr. Shumway: that is the first time that I have seen that also, haven't been to that page for a while

I would like to see a stititics page showing how many people are in each membership level.

mctrivia: just visit the payid membership page :)

Mr. Shumway: That does not list all the different membership types.

mctrivia: You mean including the live long? ok :)

Mr. Shumway: ya I know there are atleast 3 eternal rooks. Curious to how many there are.

mctrivia: 5 :)

mctrivia:
9 levels
25002 Pawns
93 Knights
573 Rooks
4 Golden Rooks
0 Maharajah
0 Black Queen
1 White Queen
1 Black King
1 White King

Matarilevich: And as a side note, out of the 573 rooks - 5 of those are lifetime rooks.
