Any chances of deleting/removing the 10 or so tournies that will never start that are listed at the top of the tourney page.

Jason: was there really i must of missed that somewhere along the line..lol

Subject: Re: how long can

Jason: It's still unlimited - but would still support a limit of 5 auto-vacation days in a row (making a week when 2 weekend days are added) - most "emergencies" will allow a person to make it back on within a week.

of course you can set your vacation days for more then a week a row - just talking auto-vacation.

"Snoopy": there was talk of capping it to a certain amount of days you could use in one go.

5. January 2007, 17:32:57

Subject: Re: how long can

Jason: as long as you have at least one vacation day left

Subject: Re:

rabbitoid: Well, there are two options:

1) We would mark a time warp as a feature, not a bug.
2) We should fix it before there are too many time anomalies here.

Subject: Re:

Fencer: are you kidding? some of my opponents manage to use a time warp already. That's the only explanation I find as to why they never time out. And you haven't even programmed it!

5. January 2007, 13:07:53

Sphere Go... Would that be cool?

5. January 2007, 13:05:09

Subject: Re:

rabbitoid: Far too easy. We should create a game board with a singularity, e.g. a black hole timespace. That could be called a "challenge".

5. January 2007, 12:56:50

Subject: Re:

rabbitoid: hehe

But isn't a torus what we here at BK call a sphere?

5. January 2007, 12:08:58

rabbitoid

If you want something really exotic, you could implement those games on a torus, a Moebius strip or a Klein bottle. A lot of fun for Fencer, first to program it (perhaps not too difficult), then to explain the rules (next to impossible)

Subject: Re: My New Games (Sphere Line4)

hexkid: Ok, Sphere Spider Line4 is too much anyway

So if Sphere Line4 isn't a forced white win - I would LOVE to see it here!

5. January 2007, 09:12:52

Subject: Re: My New Games

BIG BAD WOLF: Yes, that was the idea! I think it would be
a) a very interesting game and
b) possibly the last extension to the whole Line4-family that I could imagine ;) (Except of course Sphere Anti Line4[obvious] and Cylinder Linetris

)

"Snoopy": Yes, they will be added to your finished game count. Only "not counted" games are not.

How come Bishops are eligible to play in teh Team tournaments and not knights???

4. January 2007, 20:49:48

More multiplayer games (like Ponds), maybe Dudo.

4. January 2007, 20:22:26

i would definately like to see some kind of word game.

hexkid: Oops again ... I was thinking about Sphere Spider Line4 :)

Anyway ... in Sphere Spider Line4 there's a "forced" win for the first player.

BIG BAD WOLF, joshi tm: Small Froglet most definitely would be great

Any Ataxx or Assimilation variant would be good. With some random black squares(islands) would be fun that can not be controlled by anyone. Work your way around them

BIG BAD WOLF: Small (8x8) Froglet is indeed a great addition to the site, as are the large (16x16) version. (I like longer games).

17 Ataxx 9x9 and Anti Ataxx
:)

4. January 2007, 18:43:32

Subject: Re: My New Games

joshi tm: Speaking of Froglet - SMALL FROGLET - I rarely play Froglet anymore because it takes so long - a smaller board version would be a nice variant.

As for Ludo - I would like to see 2-dice version - that is you roll 2 dice every turn. You get our of "home" with either a 1 or a 6. And you then move pieces with the 2 dice your roll every turn. You can also split up the dice - so if you roll a 2,6 - you can move 1 piece 2 spaces, and move another piece 6 spaces.

Subject: Re: My New Games

BIG BAD WOLF: Oops ... I was too hasty and didn't think it through (I failed to realize some moves cannot be made because they're not connected to the border).

After some more thought I still think the first player has a "forced" win (10 moves???), but I have to study the game better.

Gordon Shumway: Sphere Line 4???? Isn't that a win in 5 moves for the first player?

4. January 2007, 16:44:11

Subject: Re: My New Games

Gordon Shumway: Sphere Line4 - interesting. So in Sphere, do you mean left-right AND top-bottom. That would be interesting. Still start placing pieces at the bottom, but now once the columns make it near the top, you have to be carefull with connecting to the bottom of the page to make a line.

It looks like if a player has no rating, the rating becomes 0 (instead of 1300) for the Avarage BKR of a team in team tournaments. Is that true? (referring to http://brainking.com/nl/TeamTournaments?tri=70&trnst=10 Cloning Gammon Team tournament)
