"participating in a conversation" - that would mean more than just you, unless you were talking to yourself. I was requesting the convo about ponds be taken to the appropriate board. To everyone. Not just you.
Subject: Re: I'll try again each time until I at least get a response...
grenv: Ah, I get it. Just look at the list of players. If there is a pawn, just bid one more. That goes on until the pawn FINALLY drops into the pond. But, in theory, doing that would force the pawn to drop in the pond the very next round...What would be nice, then, is a way to resign from a ponds game.
Subject: Re: I'll try again each time until I at least get a response...
Summertop: There's no such thing as timeout, if you don't move you get last turn's move.
Problem is that in the first run there is a pawn bidding 10 each turn. Therefore 90% of players just bid 11. Each turn someone bids 0 in an effort to drop out of the game, which prolongs the agony. If we didn't have the perpetual 10 bid it would be more interesting (even though the zeros would still usually mess us up).
Subject: Re: I'll try again each time until I at least get a response...
Summertop: I know, I know, Since I don't often play ponds why am I even talking about it...because I can. If a player times out, they don't automatically fall into the pond. They just keep using their last bid. Since the (now) Pawn can't access the game, shouldn't they just timeout like everyone else?

Fencer: Just curious. I don't really play ponds, but what does happen when a paying member reverts back to pawn status while they have a ponds game going?
Fencer...I know this was brought up before...but when a person is compelled to put someone on hide...can it elliminate the red numbers from that person?
Daniel Snyder: But you appear not to have played any games!!! I have played 250 and have a reasonable rating. I can guarantee that white has an advantage very early in the game. Black is on the defensive from move 1.
It may not be enough to force a win, but it is much easier to make a mistake as black.
hmm ... 3 in a line is on a small board ... 4 in a line on a big board with a limitation .. 5 in a line on a big board without limitation .. what about 6 in a line on a 3 dimensional board without limitations ? ;)
Atomic Chess has the slight drawback that white gains an early advantage due to how quickly the king can be attacked. I propose an 8x10 board, 8 wide as normal, with normal pieces, but 10 deep. This should make for a more circumspect game.
Fencer: lol .. blame it on me being blonde :) i didnt think of the back button *slap forehead* i sometimes even go via the main page to make sure i dont hit the wrong button
plaintiger also just mentioned to me i could use the back button :)

It would be nice if the tournament standing pages (the ones on
http: //brainking.com/game/Tournaments?trg={NUMBER}& ;tri={NUMBER} page)
mentioned the date the tournament started. I know that you can go to one of the games and see when the game started, but it would be nice to have it along the other tournament info.
I also would like to have the option to list the tournaments mentioned on the profile page to be listed by starting date/time. Listing them by ID means they are listed in the order the tournaments were created, which, IMO, is less useful.
Seravajan: I know Fencer does not really like making variants of variants, but I would second a Crazy Dark Screen Chees variant. (Don't think we need both Screen & Crazy Screen dark variants - and since regular screen chess is the least popular game on the site, don't think we need a dark variant of the regular screen chess.)
Just thinking about the game, I would think white would have a good advantage - giving a lot more importance of placing the bishops & rooks to be able to view as much of the opponents opening as possible.
Anyway, I know Fencer is some-what against making variants of variants, but this would be fun - plus should not be too hard to program.
Due this mess with program and cheating I repost my request for Dark Screen Chess and the Crazy Dark Screen Chess. The first one is a combination of Dark Chess and Screen Chess. The later of Dark and Crazy Screen Chess.
BTW: These games would completely making any program cheating impossible!
chupacabraVS2: I believe rod's comment about the conversation that does not belong here is about using a program in games - not the scrabble/jamble conversation.
JennyElizabeth: thanks jenny,its nice to know about jamble.the problem is,there are 3 user profiles on this computer.
one of them has a login name on www.itsyourturn.com allready,
so I cant create an account there.that site has an inflexible rule about only allowing one login account per IP address.I know several people who hav run into this problem.thanks again anyway.
Subject: Re: Where to discuss cheating and computers
Mousetrap: I can forgive and forget. It is hard to follow the stream of conversation on a site such as this. Even if one notices the time stamps, it doesn't mean that a reponse is out of line if it comes weeks later. The subject itself is not an easy one to solve, and using examples in some of the arguments has made a casual reader or two think the discussion should be held in various different discussion boards. Where it's at now seems to be a good place (BrainKing.com) and it appears that it's dwindling down as we've all had a say or two about it and will just have to move on without being able to do much about it except understand each other's point of view concerning it.
