Can I vote somewhere for the most useless discussion ever seen on BK?

Pedro Martínez: Useless for 1999 website design. I am trying to suggest 2013 suggestions. I can undo moves easily with babaschess.

your question doesnt apply to shogi alone

It doesn't concern me at all. Your suggestion only perplexes me as I have no idea why anyone would bother conducting lengthy discussions about a suggestion that they know will never come to life. I have a suggestion too: It would help me a lot if Friday came right after Tuesday. Now let's discuss the pros and cons…

I do not know why you care if I “actually” play Shogi, but you are welcome to visit my profile and see for yourself.

Subject: Re:
Pedro Martínez: i actually think this is a good idea. Nothing important is on Wed or Thu typically, and if anything would be there, I could easily move it to Fri. So I support that change.
(Of course I understand that you meant to _remove _ Wed and Thu, not just reorder the sequence and have them somewhere else)
That would also help with work/live balance, as right now the ratio is certainly skewed with 5:2. Having 3:2 instead is a big step in the direction of balancing them.

Pedro Martínez: You could extend that argument to why does anyone post anything to the Feature Request board. If I was voting for useful features, being able to change a posted move wouldn't get very far up my list.

You didn't read carefully. I wasn't requesting to change a posted move. The request was to post it later. Do you understand how "draft" works with email?

Subject: Re:
jadarite: Then perhaps you are the one who hasn't been reading carefully. Just input your move, but don't hit the "move" button until you are sure.

If you want to have multiple games where you do that at the same time, open multiple tabs (or windows) and do that in each game that you choose.

No need for any new programming whatsoever.

I never suggested removing Wednesday or Thursday. That is the point you are not getting. It is already in the system where we can have 1 or 2 days before making a move. So in theory, Friday could come after Tuesday. We could play a game where 2 or more days could pass before one of us has to make a move.

All I am saying is that if we think of a move before said time permitted, then we also be allowed to alter that move BEFORE SUBMITTING.

The reason why I asked you about knowing shogi is that I was wondering how you could relate to the suggestion I made. It is similar to knight moves in chess where they could go to the same square.

You have spent a lot of time attacking me, now try to spend 1% in support. I am not here to hurt you my friend. Maybe in the end you will see the light.

Subject: Re:
jadarite: All games have a notes function where you can write, for example, your intended next move. If your worry is that you will forget the move you intended between the first time you looked at the board and the second time you can write it there. A lot simpler than recoding brainking to allow for those with Alzheimer’s.

jadarite: Honestly, it is difficult to take your suggestion seriously when your first log-in to this site was in 2010, but yet you have not completed a single game here. Finish 100 games and then tell us what % of those games you lost because you were unable to use a "draft" mode.

Now we have it folks. Before a good idea is conceived, it must be after 100 games. You guys are braindead in the 1990's technology scene.

I am trying to help you.

I have played 1,000 games not 100. I don't need to prove myself here to have a good point.

cd power 
Subject: Re:
jadarite: No, you missed the point. It is not about "proving yourself here," but rather you will see by playing games that you do get that draft mode by clicking your move, then you can sit there and think about it if you wish, or make notes and come back later. Anyway, I see that you have left... I always knew you were just trolling here and using some fake profile you created in 2010 without a single finished game.

Subject: Re:
jadarite: this profile of yours shows you have completed no games yet, that is what cd power was pointing to

you might have played more games on another site, but that doesnt contribute to your experience on this site .. cd power means some experience is needed to know what you are talking about ..... like me i made a few misclicks and lost some games due to that, or my opponent was polite enough to recognize it and take no advantage of it

or you played more games on this site with another account ... then why not use that account right now ?

jadarite: Isn't it in life and in games as well corresponding that sometimes people make a wrong decision/move, and we usually don't get the opportunity to turn the time back? If people click to send their moves, it doesn't care if it was a wrong move, it is part of the game to make mistakes or am I wrong? If you're not sure about a move, you just shouldn't send.

Dear innocent soul, this isn't about making a wrong move.

Do you make moves instantly? Really? Or do you use T H O U G H T?

All I am saying is before we click submit, we have a draft function.

If you don't understand 101 Draft Email ideas then come back later.
