<< < 1 2 3 4 5 > >> 13. May 2003, 22:40:26 But even if it is more Canadian Dollars than US dollars, aren't US dollars worth more in general, so paying $43 CAD should be the same value as $28 US - like everything will cost more CAD than US. 13. May 2003, 22:19:09 And bout the number of games - MiseryMidnight is getting pretty close, at 723 last night! That's by far the most i've seen of anyone! 13. May 2003, 22:17:07 When i bought my $28 US membership, it costed about $43 CAD. I don't remember when that was, but i guess it says on my profile :-)
I think right now it's about $0.63 US to the Canadian Dollar. 13. May 2003, 06:32:48 I definately don't agree with limiting rooks to number of games (especially if it's so low!). Even if it was enforced that rooks can only play 200 games, say, it would probably only affect 5 players (i know of three). So would it really be worth it to make this limit (one more restriction on the highest paying level) to reduce the number of games 5 players are playing? 12. May 2003, 04:04:32 I don't know if Fencer will read this, necessarily. You will be much safer to send him a personal message, as he does read those :-) 10. May 2003, 08:31:26 Jet Boy: There will be a relatively small "move" button, and to the right of it will be a list box with 5 selections. When you move, it will do what is selected in the list box ;-) 2. May 2003, 05:54:47 SushiShark: You basically have two options.
1. You can purchase a brain rook membership. You will be a rook for either that 6 or 12 months, and then the remainder of your knight membership will follow when that has expired. 2. You can ask Fencer, and he will give you a price to upgrade your memebership for the remainder of the time to rook. Only he can do this for you, and only he can give you the price Hope that helps! Kevin 16. April 2003, 01:29:07 Subject: Re: a question 2 of your games were deleted with less than 4 moves (actually not a single move!) so while they count for your win/loss, they do not count for your rating. 15. April 2003, 20:49:56 Scooby: It is most likely due to an older version of the page cached on your system. The only way to solve that would be to delete the internet files, forcing it to download the ner version of the page. 9. April 2003, 06:48:36 Gubbe: I'm assuming if it said they are creating a new account that that's exactly what they're doing. They are on the database as registered, but have not finished setting up their account yet. 31. March 2003, 04:06:56 And in Saskatchewan here we don't switch at all! It's an hour fast for me too... 27. March 2003, 06:41:20 On your main page, it calculates the time remaining using days off, vacations, site holidays, etc. So a 5 day limit will be affected by the 2 days off, making it 7.
It doesn't matter what day it is started, it just matters what day it is, and what days your opponent has chosen for days off. 16. March 2003, 01:32:31 Subject: Re: Tourney limits Tournament sections will NEVER have more than 8 players, so if 12 players sign up, it will be broken into 2 sections of 6, meaning you will play 5 games. You will not be able to play one tourney of each game at once because of your 50 games at a time limit. That restriction only really applies if you want to enter another chess tournament, for example, if you're already playing in one.
If you don't like that restriction, upgrade to rook :-) 15. March 2003, 04:47:52 Subject: Re: fencer, do you know... There also the game called hex ;-) lol
The only turn based site like this that i have seen it at is http://www.littlegolem.net 12. March 2003, 21:28:33 I think white still has an advantage, despite the opening move restrictions - the advantage is just greatly reduced. 5. March 2003, 05:34:22 Subject: Re: Game invite no, it is displayed as
100 < BKR < 2700 or 100 <= BKR <= 2700 the 100 < BKR < 2700 can be rewritten as two restrictions 100 < BKR and BKR < 2700 Therefore, 100 has to be less than BKR, making the BKR above 100, and BKR has to be less than 2700, giving you a rating between 100 and 2700 :-) If all else fails, the first number is the lower limit, the second number is the higher limit. (by the way, to enter the "<" or ">" symbols, type "& lt ;" or "& gt ;" (without the spaces). 26. February 2003, 21:46:42 Subject: Re: Checkers Ratings can change from a draw, if one player in considerably higher rated than the other :-)
(they won't change as much as a win-loss, though) 13. February 2003, 20:26:19 Subject: Re: Notes Unless Fencer recently changed it, you simply add new notes and cannot change existing notes for that game. I never use notes, so i am not very familiar with how it works :-) 13. February 2003, 01:26:07 Subject: Re: Fencer: look at my BKR / rating lists... ;-) They are in the correct order on both lists. The 'Your best BKR' list is simply a list of all your ratings, in order from highest to lowest. The list called 'Your best rating positions' is like your position on this site. For example, you have the 47th highest rating on the site in Linetris (that's what the 47 means). That list is just the order of those numbers, from best to worst. Hope that helps! :-)
Kevin 12. February 2003, 05:07:32 Subject: Re: New player thoughts 1) There is a setting (on your settings page - link found on left (or top, with row layout)) that allows you to put the game board at the top of the page. This could fix your first problem :-)
2) I have asked Fencer about automatic passing when there is no legal move, but he was against it - though the opponent should still be able to see the board so they do not get a board that is completely different from how they left it (when multiple passes are necessary) and so they are still able to send a message with the 'pass' move. Welcome to a great site! :-) Kevin 4. February 2003, 05:37:39 Subject: Re: rating system all unrated players do not have the same rating, when the new ratings are calculated. Even before it shows you your provisional rating, you still have one. 3. February 2003, 01:10:32 Subject: Re: rating system dream: your rating is not just based on how many wins or losses you have...it's almost completely dependent on the ratings of your opponents. If you beat 4 players with very low ratings, compared with 4 players with very high ratings, your rating will be completely different :-) 2. February 2003, 06:02:06 Subject: BKR I noticed that, even though it says you will have a provisional rating at 4 games and established at 25, it seems to be 5 and 26. Right now i have 4 rated games of anti checkers completed, and am still unrated. I also remember it took 26 Spider Line4 to get an established rating. 27. January 2003, 15:46:15 Subject: Re: Notes I haven't played Dark Chess on this site, but what i've found with the notes is that they appear underneath the game board, and if you type in new notes, it adds them beneath the old notes (doesn't replace) 27. January 2003, 04:37:36 Subject: Re: 5 wins match, 5 points match, 5 games match .. question :) Yes. A 5 wins match keeps starting games until someone wins 5 of them. 18. January 2003, 05:55:16 Subject: Automatic Moves All i can say is WTG FENCER!! :-)
Although, in Anti Chess, it did not do my only capture with the piece i clicked on for me :-) 7. January 2003, 06:56:06 Subject: Re: Hi!!! Raidant: Fencer did talk about adding backgammon variants, but never said which ones. I imaging backgammon race will be in there, but can't say for sure. Welcome to the site!! :-) 6. January 2003, 08:02:31 Subject: Re: Background too bright He did say (i think on this board) that if you go to your settings page, there is a darker colour scheme (with a grey background instead of white). 4. January 2003, 06:53:21 Subject: Player List At least on my 800x600 resolution the 32 links to the 32 pages of players make the page too wide, so i have to scroll sideways to see it all. They should start going on the next line :-) 4. January 2003, 06:06:03 Subject: Favorite Discussion Boards I always wondered how it decided on what order to display these in on my game sheet. Seems to be a different order every day! lol 4. January 2003, 05:46:05 Subject: Re: anyone want my memebrship??? Yes, she sure is!! :-) It's too bad she's leaving (or maybe left already!) 3. January 2003, 20:32:54 Subject: Re: Friends I noticed that with the search box on the Player List it does not always come up with all the players that match what you type in. I'm not sure why though! 2. January 2003, 20:18:25 Subject: Re: anyone want my memebrship??? Yep, those are the 2 :-) I have heard of others that other people play at, but don't remember what they are. You can try searching on any search engine for something like "turn based board games" if you want to find more. 2. January 2003, 05:53:52 Subject: Re: anyone want my memebrship??? Thanks! I hear you about the time issue...i'm currently playing games at 5 game sites, but this one is by far my favorite! I'll miss you here, even if i see you at GT! :-) 2. January 2003, 02:06:35 Subject: Re: anyone want my memebrship??? I think you should stay Badger! You're a lot of fun to play against, and i didn't really know any people here when i joined, but that didn't stop me either! :-) 29. December 2002, 06:41:19 Subject: Hmm... http://www.brainking.com/game/ArchivedGame?g=4920
It says at the bottom that black resigned (drgnrdr). However, if you look on either player's profile, it says drgnrdr won. It seems most likely that white resigned (although i guess i can't be sure!) :-) http://www.brainking.com/game/ArchivedGame?g=11228 This game was just completed. It hasn't affected my rating (was a rated game), and does not even show up on either of our profiles under completed games. (even if the rating difference was enough to not move mine, it should at least show up!) 29. December 2002, 05:46:39 Subject: Re: Just a curiousity question for Fencer Rose: Yes, italic means provisional, regular means established. It says that in the help or FAQ somewhere (don't remember which). 22. December 2002, 05:18:42 Subject: Re: Checkers lol :-) And i hope to keep it that way!! 20. December 2002, 17:28:21 Subject: Re: Checkers I got all my pieces taken?? lol :-) 20. December 2002, 03:32:39 A checkers game i lost came with the message:
You captured all opponent's pieces. (Checkers) When in fact i did not capture all my opponent's pieces! lol. 18. December 2002, 18:06:21 Subject: Re: Xmas holidays Nope, i can't help you with that! I've never had to use vacation days...but when i just did it said 26th on my profile too...not sure why it would do that! Maybe Fencer will fill us in here...lol 18. December 2002, 17:54:56 Subject: Re: Xmas holidays if you go to your settings page on the left...and click on the Calendar on the top you can check the boxes beside the days to make the vacation. It also lists there the site holidays and your days off. 17. December 2002, 18:41:03 Subject: Ok, that's strange... 49 8517|20 0 (Tank Battle)
This was the subject of a message i got. The game was a draw. (against stromovous) 17. December 2002, 18:04:46 Subject: Re: fellowships sure you can :-) you just can't join the same team for two fellowships...such as the Line4 team :-)
(you can only be a member of the Line4 team for one fellowship) 17. December 2002, 06:34:36 Subject: Fellowships I don't suppose there is a way to delete / disband fellowships? Are they there for good once they've been created? 16. December 2002, 23:26:49 Subject: Re: Eddie...! You'd get it if you played at GT :-)
(but i guess even then you might not...lol) 15. December 2002, 02:31:51 Subject: Re: Boats Yep, there is some discussion about this sort of game :-) He is going to implement Teams and backgammon first, then he will start to work on other games (i think). 12. December 2002, 18:42:31 Subject: Re: chess rules It explains in the game rules of chess (link on the left). If i remember correctly, neither of those rules, as well as not having enough pieces to checkmate, is not supported at this time. 11. December 2002, 18:17:52 Subject: Re: Waiting games I think they just count towards your limit of games. Since rooks don't have a limit, they can put out as many waiting invites as they want :-) << < 1 2 3 4 5 > >> |
