Thanks. I'll go and look it up.

footballchess if ever realtime play becomes a solid idea - ugha will love it. :P ~*~

first the doubling cube and point system ... :D ~*~

Maybe the majority do want to have the <trivial and boring item>. I know I do, but I also know that Fencer is not interested in it so I try to be one voice that does not drive him crazy.

on that subject anyone..... Its still open season on the other subjects though! rofl.

there appears to be no reason not to implement this as an optional attribute for the player, other than "it is difficult to implement and other things take priority". If this could be stated then I believe nobody would bring it up again.

minorities who don't want it will be respected even if nagging ~*~

There is no reason to believe the majority want auto-pass, it's the same few who bring it up. As a feature request I'd like to ask for no more posts on this trivial and boring subject.

You also have to realize that even if Fencer was planning on adding autopass, it wouldn't happen right away. There are other far more important things for Fencer to do first.

find the nearest brick wall and tell it. you'll have better luck with the wall then with Fencer.

because the majority wants it obviously,
this is a gameserver, isn't it ? of course we
consider a switch-off option then, no worries ~*~

In checkers a double jump is always one move. In reversi, one move is one move. Two moves, even with a pass between is never one move.

Why do you keep complaining about this? It really isn't going to help?

I guess thats a Czech saying Fencer...whats it mean? LOL
Do you have to wait for your oponent to pass before you can change direction? ;oÞ

Me spinning in my grave!

Is that a statement or request? (keeping on topic ) ;oÞ

And Santa Claus is coming at Christmas :)

A very long winded juvenile one LMAO

U really expect an explanation Stevie? :)

wooohooooo the nail been direct hit on the head :o)
Lets see a "get out" on that one explained ;oÞ

All checkers are like that too

Correct. For instance in checkers if you can capture more than one piece you don't capture one, then wait for a pass before capturing the next one.

:)

I dont understand the 'no chat' thing with auto pass. It seems like for the player who keeps moving it would be the same as taking one turn, they would be forced to continue playing until the opponent could move, no different than a single move, with no interuption in chatting ability.

Fencer and VIP ...ooops i mean Customer Service.. are smarter (or should i say more stubborn?) than us Stevie so its useless to "fight".

Autopass = you cant chat.....

so for some reason you cant look down the page to see the discussion, nor across the board to follow the game moves?????

must be ever so confusing when you cant see it all on one page.....mmmmm other sites are like that where you cant see it all. But this one...its alll there, so how confusing can that be??

ho ho ho ho ha ha ha ha sooooo funny ....NOT

I know a very fun joke:

Autopass = you cant chat
and
your opponent can be confused

very funny! LOL

ummmmm PASS

;oÞ

feel free to write to webpatrouille-iyt@yahoo.de for iyt-bs, respectively webpatrouille-bk@yahoo.de for bk-bs ... a board for linguistic studies, though,
seems really missing. - where not only Walter could elaborate logopaedic impressions. ~*~

How about a BrainKing social archives page? Detailing developments good and bad, for the amusement of future members. For example the rise and fall of KM with details of it's structure and the roles of it's officers would be fascinating, no real ids need be used.

or was it auto-passed ? :D
~*~

Stevie: Very funny :-) Any other jokes?

:)

Andersp, thats because Fencer has 'customer service' people to answer for him. Thats what we do, answer the questions that get asked over and over again. Autopass is one such question :o)

Kevin, you have a lot to learn from Fencer. He doesnt answer when he has no answers or is proven wrong :)

Dont then LMAO
It just means we get left behind the other sites once more

I don't have to answer - i'm trying to help Fencer. You don't have to believe me if you don't want to. But I think Fencer has made it clear he is not going to add Autopass....

Id say, why do you have to answer Kevin?
Id rather hear it from the horses mouth

Thanks for your info Kevin, next time we'll ask for it :)

Like I said - feel free to disagree with the reasons but its not going to change anything.

Me thinks Fencer didnt like my auction idea :)

and I agree with Stevie :)

BBW..Im trying to help Fencer collect money and then you try to 'steal" them!! :)

For $50, I'll sign into your account and pass games for you Andersp! :-)

Kevin, point 1 is a load of ********
and point 2

and I agree with Grenv

Fencer, why dont you sell (auction) features?
Could give some money for a new server.
My startbid for auto-pass is $ 50 :)

wont work grenv :)..i deleted my posts

Neither reason is good:
1. You can chat by sending messages.
2. The games in question are not affected by remembering the previous position. Besides, you can scroll through the moves if you like.

Real reason: Personal preference of the developer.

I've posted those two reasons at least ten times now. So it's DEFINITELY past the second time...

The reasons why Fencer does not like auto-pass:

1. If a move is auto-passed, there is no possibility of sending a message with that move. Some players may still like to chat even if one player must pass many moves in a row.

2. If a player is new to a game, many passes in a row can leave the game very different from when they last saw it. Chances are very good they will think it is a bug in the system and we will end up with many many "Why did my opponent get to move more than once in a row? Are they cheating??" or "This game doesn't look right. What happened?" or something like that.

Feel free to argue with these reasons. It's been done many times before and hasn't helped, so I'll tell you know arguing with them won't help this time.

yeah, something where either i could play a game out from the start or import a current game or setup the pieces how i like to test different moves. this could work for any number of games(virtually any game that involves thinking ahead and does not involve chance or secrecey). i don't know how easy it would be to impliment, but the first part of the above, playing a game from the start, should just be a case of making the game into a single player game where i have control of both sides.(i'm not a programmer, so please don't take offence if this is more difficult than it sounds). as for importing games or setting up the board, i don't know how you would do that.

Rahvin: Something like "analyze mode"?

Hi Fencer, i know you're a busy man, but any chance of answering my previous post. I was only thinking of a drag and drop board, nothing too elaborate.
