We are about to begin a new wave of fellowship team tournaments, and I think the choices of games was very interesting. I am now playing lots of different types of games that I had never tried before... I would like to see a list of fellowship team win rankings, so I can see (in one list) how the fellowship that I am playing for compares to others. Having a position on a list of rankings gives one something to fight for.
Not sure if this already exsists, and i just havent found it, but is there anyway, that tournaments i have signed up to, which are loads, can be put in some sort of date order for when they are due to start, instead of going through them all to see when they are going to start, if that makes sense
It would be very helpful to be able to do a text search through all of one's private conversations. That includes in- and out- mailbox messages, but also all messages exchanged during games. Sometimes I remember having had a nice conversation with someone about some particular subject, but cannot remember who it was, or I remember the old handle but the user now has a new one.
Of course it would also be helpful to search across all discussion boards (including fellowship boards), but that is a different search. Usually one remembers very well if somethings comes from a public board or a private conversation.
I know that if you have a green dot by the tournament means you are in it, but what does a red dot mean? The page shows about three of them on some tournaments
there should be a link somewhere to news for specific game types (like this one http://brainking.com/en/News?tp=93 ) without needing to guess and type the URL.
Gordon Shumway: But that only shows you in which tournaments you're in, it doesn't show you, for example if you're a big boss, in which tournaments does your fellowship have teams in.
Fencer: Next Team match, most useful addition in a while (clever Monkey), hopefully people will use it, then the Matches/Tournaments will finish quicker, then we can have more
Czuch Czuckers: I would rather it not be added by default - so it does not force me to keep removing the options.
Normally the options are used by less people then who do not use it - so to default it not being on the list would be better for the majority of the players in my opinion.
Related to your most recent blog.... Maybe it would be better, when you add a new "move and go to" option, that that option would by default be added onto our list, then we can choose to remove it if we want to? As it stands now, these new options a have to be added, and sometimes we may miss when a new one is added and not ever realize it is available to us. But by having the default add it to our list, then we will see every time one is added, and then make our choice to keep it or not. Thanks!
dameningen: If you know of someone else who would like to be BIG BOSS, you can let Fencer know and I'm sure he can make the change for you - that way the club will continue with an active BIG BOSS.
I am still BigBoss of Loop Chess Club even though I am pawn. This situation is bit problematic, there is people of who would like to join and do stuff. I think it would be better if BigBoss even if he is pawn give his status away and maybe even could read and write at his/her fellowship. Is this too much?
On the Statistics page, can we have a link for Fellowship Wins? On that page, we already have BKR/Finished Games/Running Games/Top Players/Action Points... we could fit Fellowship Wins in there somewhere...
Subject: Maybe this is already possible or maybe discussed before but....
I am the captain of most of the teams in my fs. The players change here and there on some of the teams and I have to look up each team individually to see who is on, how many are on the team. It would be nice is all teams with say three or more players registered would all show up on an individual list. This way if I'm short a player on a team or two, I can see it at a glance and deal with finding additional players.
Fencer: Could we please have some way to easily see if and which Tournaments a Knight/Bishop is in. It is a nightmare when signing a Team up with Knights/Bishops in, and it tell you you dont have enough players. Then you have to go through every Team a Knight/Bishop is in to find out if it is them that is preventing it. Either one of 2 ways i have thought of: 1) On there Profile(Fellowship page) beside there list of Teams, a dot to say they are either signed for or in a running Tournament. OR 2) A dot(or brief message) beside there name when trying to sign the Team up for a Tournament, letting us know what they are signed for OR already playing in. This is a major headache for Bosses & Captains
I guess I would like to see a clearly visible way of telling how all of the fellowships have done in tournaments against each other. I think it is more comprehensible on one page (anywhere). For each tournament on the Finished Team Tournaments (at the bottom) on the Team Tournaments page, you have to click on each game link to see who won. I would like the winning teams to be more visible at a glance. I just think it would be more rewarding and competetive for fellowship teams to easily see an overall view of the finished games. Besides, the change I am requesting is probably of more interest than knowing the days per move of a tournament that is already finished.

I request that, on the team tournaments page, there be made a column listing the fellowships that won each finished tournament. I looked under finished tournaments, and it only really has the name of the tournament, the number of teams that participated, and the type of game. The value of having a column naming the fellowship that won is that it gives us more incentive for playing in these tournaments, and it helps us to glance at the list of finished tournaments and see how all the fellowships are doing in this regard. Maybe we could replace the "days per move" column on the Finished Tournaments list with a column entitled "Fellowship That Won"...
Fencer: Just an easy silly thing, but its very annoying. Could you move the link to 'Switch to RTE' or 'Switch to plain text' to the right hand side of the page please. When the site(or connection) goes a bit slow and you scroll down happily clicking for the Text box to type in, you tend to hit that link, then have to wait for the page to reload again. It can get very annoying
When you look up a particular game to see what tournaments include it, I suggest that there is no point showing tourns where the game is already running. Please could we see games where we may join up.
I have some ponds with less than a day per move. On my main page they show as having 0 day per move when, in fact, some of them are 23h or 18h permove. Could the value be displayed correctly, please. That is, days AND hours?
ßăķëď Äłáşķǻñ: Well I suppose I will just have to admit a vocabulary deficiency. (Actually for scrabble it's not as much use as one might think, because you still need a "U".)
