How about introducing a six month membership then?

Teams just for brain knight or higher level. Some tournaments for all users [at least the first one because of testing].

2. December 2002, 18:18:03

Wont the tournaments and teams just be for members though?

2. December 2002, 18:16:09

hrlqns: Prepare for even more browsing when I release tournaments and teams :-)

2. December 2002, 18:11:45

You know what I REALLY like about this site? Even when theres no games happening theres loads to browse through. And before you know it its your turn in a game again! Then back to browsing!! [am I the only one with too much time on my hands???!]

How far above the 1300 does one have to be before you lose points?

2. December 2002, 11:18:06

Subject: Re:

Ah, that makes sense then!

2. December 2002, 06:58:08

Everybody starts with 1300 [BKR] but the BKR is not shown if the user didn't finish at least 4 ratd games.

Nope! I'm not sure what value is used for them in the formula, but they definately affect your rating!

Subject: ratings

Hey, I just lost a game with an un-rated player and my rating went down 50 points!! How come??! I thought un-rated players made no difference to your rating?

Okay, I'll try to use different color. No problem.

Subject: Background color on Five in Line

It would be easier to see the white players pieces if the background color was a different color. After awhile the white pieces kind of blend in with the background.

Subject: Re: Sorting Stuff

Kevin: Yes, that's possible. It's already on my TODO list but I was working on other things so far :-)

29. November 2002, 01:40:36

Subject: Sorting Stuff

The Waiting Games would be useful to sort like the games in progress and the player's list. There are starting to be more waiting games in the waiting room, so finding the game you want can be rather difficult. Similarly with the ratings (completed games) on player profiles. Those would be useful to sort by rating at least, or number of games.

29. November 2002, 01:32:50

Subject: Re: Setting up a New Game

No big deal; I'm sure you have more important bugs to fix. It amused me though! Thx for fixing the numbers of games in players' profiles.

29. November 2002, 01:23:42

Subject: Re:

Well right now i looked at eddie spaghetti's profile...only had 10 games listed when he says he has a few hundred! lol. It doesn't do it with the one game all the time, but it did last night on seemingly everyone's profile i clicked on.

Subject: Setting up a New Game

My previous message came out all wrong!!
Perhaps it was my use of the 'greater than' sign.
In asking for a rating window, I think that the lower rating should show 'greater than' sign, rather than a 'lesser than' sign

28. November 2002, 12:24:59

Subject: Setting up a New Game

=, rather than =.

28. November 2002, 11:03:57

Kevin: Which profile shows only one uncompleted game? I need at least one example, otherwise I cannot investigate it.
About posting here, it can be a bug. I'll look at it.
Wins-Losses-Draws - yes, you are right. It will be fixed.
TODO list is very long since more requests are coming every day. That's what I expected ;-)
Ian: Okay, put the money into envelope and send them to me if you really want to use this way :-)

28. November 2002, 05:11:31

Subject: Fencer...

I noticed on my Main Page it is listed Wins - Draws - Losses, but when i click on Waiting Games it is Wins - Losses - Draws. The numbers are still correct, and it doesn't really matter...but it probably shoudl be consistent (whichever way it is)!

And also, just out of curiosity, exactly how long is your TODO list?? lol

Subject: Re: Holidays

I think it's a big perk to have 30 vacation days instead of 5! I didn't even know about it until it was mentioned here. I think it is definately worth mentioning on the membership page!! :-)

I also noticed lately that all opponent's profiles only show one uncompleted game, even if they have many in progress. Is this a bug? Thanks!

Third, i have been having difficulties lately posting to the DBs. I would type the message, click "Post" and a blank white page would come up with "Done" in the status bar. I would click back (or just go to the discussion board again) from there, and it would not be posted.

Tony: You are right, I should advertise that :-) But I thought that the major benefit is the unlimited number of started games, Or maybe not, it's a matter of taste.

Am I right in saying that a Brain Pawn gets 5 days vacation time a year, whereas a Brain Rook gets 30 days vacation?
If so, this is a major benefit of Brain Rook membership; you would do well to advertise this. Now I can make my games have a time limit of 1 day!

I've never used them, so I don't know. Btw, why do you [Ian] want to use cash payment? Swreg.org which I use for payments supports all known credit cards, cheques and PayPal.

Westrn Union works good but isnt there a hefty fee for international orders?

Ian: Well, the problem is that the cash payment [money in an envelope] can be lost on the way. But there is also a possibility to use Western Union, isn't it?

26. November 2002, 19:46:01

Yes, I already know about this bug. Sorry. It will be fixed soon :-)
