rabbitoid:
Can somebody explain to me
- What are anonymous vistors?
- What kind of profile statistics do they have?

coan.net: What about an opinion poll regarding the castle layout and this flying dragon?

Subject: Advertising in Tip of the day
The tip of the day #31 by TexasCalculatem is not really a tip related to BrainKing, but pure advertising.
I feel, that that is not the right place for it.

Subject: Re: no flags in new layout
Fencer: The links are underlined in the left and in the main part of the main page, but not in the right.
emmett: Maybe most users never change the language, but for translators it is very important to have the possibility of easy switching them. I think that the simple mode should have the same functionality as the castle.

Subject: no flags in new layout
I miss the flags for language switching in the simple and no fonts layout of the main page. Furthermore there is no link indication on the right side of the screen, e.g. for fellowships. At least that is inconsistent to the menu on the left.
For the castle layout this is ok.
I hope, this will be changed for simple and no fonts layout before the official release of them.

Fencer: In my opinion unlimited games should always be unrated, and both of the players should be able to delete them anytime.

MadMonkey: I have noticed the same annoying necessary to move the king. And just that detail is the reason for my voting to change the rules. A new variant will lead sooner or later to a situation, that the old variant wouldn't be played anymore.
Btw., how would you explain the differences between the two variants to the average player?

MadMonkey: How should the probabilities be affected, if there are already pieces captured? I think, if there are e.g. 2 pawns captured, there should be a ratio of 6:1 instead of 8:1.
And why this should be a new game? The changes would be minor enough (most players wouldn't notice them), that they should affect the current version.

Subject: Re: Dice Chess
MadMonkey: It's not necessary, to have a more-than-6-sided die, but, I think, it would be a good idea, to have the probabilities weighted this way. That means, it would be 8 times more probable to roll a "1" than a "6", and 2 times more probable to roll a "2", "3" or "4" than "5" or "6". What do you think?

Another question according this game: Is it possible to castle or to capture en passant, if the die and the usual chess rules allow it?

Subject: Statistics
I've noticed, that the list of the best players regarding the sum of their established ratings is calculated including games in which the player has been inactive during the last 6 months.
Is that really intended? Wouldn't it be better to exclude such games (as done for the game specific lists of best players)?

I would also wonder, whether Pools should count for this list.

Fencer: Those rating graphs are a very important feature of BK. Make sure, that the non paying members are aware, what they are missing.

Subject: Non paying members disadvantages
Is it true that non paying members are not able to see the rating graphes of their opponents?
Are they able to see the icons?

Subject: Re: cloak?
Andersp: "Cloak" seemed to me strange, too. (But, my opinion should not count in this matter, because I'm no English man). - For Esperanto I translated it with "hidden mode".
Btw., at first it seemed strange to me, why I should see, what my opponents are just doing. Then I thought it over, and now I compare it with a tournament room, where everybody can watch each other. - So, I have no reason to use the cloak mode. My secrets are outside of this room. ;-)
So

Rose: You are exactly right! :)
There are about a million people in the world that are familiar with this language. There are existing thousands of books, e.g.
So I think, there may be a few Esperanto friends on this site, too, that would be happy to be able to use their favourite language here.

Subject: Esperanto
I am currently translating BrainKing into Esperanto.
About 70% of the task is already done. It will be available to the public in a few weeks, I think.
Is there anybody interested in helping me to finish this task or to review the already translated texts?
Ĉu iu povas helpi?
