Fencer, have you had chance working on using in Byes in Elimination Tournaments that do not get the required amount of players yet ?
Once the current Madhouse PRIZE Tournaments starts, i want to release another PRIZE one.
This time though i would like to do an Elimination one using between 10 and 20(who knows) BrainKing games, and those who take part MUST play in every game. I will give points to how far a Player gets in each one, then total them up, and the Winner will be the one with the most points overall. In the event of a draw, i will set another Private Tournament up for those involved.
If we had Byes, then no one would have to miss out. Of course i could just say first come first served, but would like for everyone to have a chance
coan.net: I have a whole fellowship (IE paying members), dedicated to multi player games, full of people waiting for that one too!
Fencer,I dont think anyone will disagree that you have a great site here, and that you certainly are more responsive to our wants and needs than any other site owner.... having said that, my opinion is that people would prefer quality over quantity, and you have provided many new innovations when the old ones are not yet perfected.
For example, you rating system is adequate, but it is not state of the art, and there is no reason for the best turn based game site on the web to not have the best possible ratings sytems.
You wasted a lot of time begrudgingly implementing an auto pass type of system that people do not find adequate or meeting our requirements, and you get nothing but greif for your efforts.
You gave us ponds to alleviate our craving for multi player type of games, but I dont remember one update made to the format that has been requested, IE more control in the number of players or other variables like the amount of the bonus etc
I understand there is a lot to do and a lot of requests and you really can never please everyone. But you have only added to the amount of requests and complaints by adding and adding before perfecting.
Like I said before.... the best gamesite on the web should have the best of everything, not the most
I know i put forward a lot of Feature Requests, but thinking about it, most the things would of been found out given a proper testing period before releasing to the site & therefore would not have to be mentioned and looked at is if it was just nit picking
Fencer: Something from you I would be supplying the Prize
If you mean, using Byes, i am surprised it was not introduced when you brought in Elimination Tournaments as they are part of it.
There is certainly no point in trying to create a large one on BrainKing, as once you get to one milestone, say 65 players, you then need to find another 63 or you get to 127 and can not find one more to get your 128, the Tournament can not start and will be deleted.
Having Byes would at least let those who enter play.
I do not call that wanting, i call it common sense, letting those who want to play.......PLAY
