Gror: Only 8 of them belong to the Poker Expert one.

Fencer: But it was not the point :) Bwild only pointed out that he is not content with the situation of having 14 poker achievements and not the mentioned one
But, I think, it is not possible to have this achievement with only 5 poker ones :))

Gror: Ah, sorry. I am reading too fast. But it would be really helpful if I know which player got this achievement with only 5 poker ones.

Fencer: I guess I misread the discription.
the person I mentioned only had 5 on their main page...but after clicking the individual section, turned out to also have 14 achievements.
my mistake

Bwild: Which person?

All this debate about vacation days is quite tedious.
What about a big fat achievement for those that use no vacation days during a 12 month period (for pawns - no timeouts?) and at least 50 games must also have been completed in this period (avoids inactive accounts being awarded).

Fencer: sent you a pm

SL-Mark:i would do that even bigger than .. lets see who never use vacation day and never times out during the year and finish more than lets say 1000 games ??

Defeat an opponent when the player has no large pieces such as Rook and Bishop. Title THE VICTORY AFTER HUGE SACRIFICES.

It is more difficult shogi achievement to achieve. Defeat an opponent after losing all golds and silvers as well as rook and bishop.

FrancescoLR: That's impossible! Say you are on holiday, I do not have Internet access during my holidays so better should be, do not use autovacation days for a year, and of course fix the mentioned turtle trick.

joshi tm:last year i didnt use vacation days ...
and i went in vacation anyway .. pbly you do not have laptop ?

FrancescoLR: No. I use to do outside camping on holiday. So that means no Internet...

It is achieved when the player defeats the opponent by stripping off every pawn pieces of the opponent.

It is achieved when the player defeats the opponent with his/her King unmoved from the initial position(5i or 5a)

FrancescoLR: >would do that even bigger >than .. lets see who never use vacation day and >never times out during the year and finish more >than lets say 1000 games ??

That's interesting. Maybe the achievement can be titled: Have a Nice Game Holiday

Achievement given for translators: Worked for one lauguage localizatiion.

Achievement given for multiliguists. It is given when you worked for 5 language localizations.

Given for player who worked for 10 released localizations.

In Shogi pawn drop checkmate is forbidden. This achievement is that the player leaves the opponent no option but to drop a pawn that is forbidden by the rule.

Fencer: Is there anyway to go back & check a previous poker hand? It was played at approximately 23:00 today @ No Limit Fast High Bets 10 seat table.
I thought I might have received the "And it is mine, all mine!" achievement. Oh well, even if I didn't get the achievement.....it still felt good.

alilsassy: He needs to know the table you were on and the round number

AbigailII: for someone that made the following statement you aren't doing a bad job

***I fully agree. There are many game related bug fixes/improvements/features I would rather have seen than archievements, photo albums, "walls" and other non-gaming stuff we've seen lately.***

AbigailII: I think most of those are actually quite good and hard to get. Real achievments if you ask me

I'd just like to add one to the Checkers list (why isn't there a checkers achievment section?)
Power to the PeopleWin a game when your opponent had at least 2 queens before you got any (in checkers variants with queens, of course).

martes: I think that achievment obly applies to normal Dice Chess. It does say "Kill your opponent's king" not "kill one of your opponent's kings"...

On the frog finder achievements, how about "win a frog finder game with all your frogs killed"

El Cid: If you have all your frogs killed, you can hardly lose.

Fencer: well, by killed I meant found (either by killing or guessing). Or if you prefer it, me having 0 frogs left and my opponent still having frogs to be found

El Cid: That's more like it.

Total annihilation: Win a Reversi game by turning all your opponent's pieces to your own color.

Win any non-Anti, non Backgammon (or other game without any pernament captures) by wiping out all opponent's pieces on the board. That are a lot of games... this achievement is worth 50 ;)

joshi tm: A couple of games that have permanent captures, but will be finished before all opponents pieces are removed: Extinction Chess, Three Checks Chess, Knight Relay Chess, Racing Kings. And this is even side-stepping that fact that under regular Chess rules the game always ends with both Kings on the board - there's no such thing as taking a King.

AbigailII: Oh, I see. Those games also should be removed from the list. Hmm almost all chess games.

joshi tm: Let's see what's left: all checkers variants, some chess variants, Alquerque, Cam(elot), all boats variants (trivial), all Pente variants, all Espionage variants, all Go variants (very hard to capture all your opponents pieces - OTOH, each player has an unlimited amount of stones, so perhaps Go doesn't qualify anyway), Jarmo, Tablut, Tank Battle, (Big) Jungle. Spider variants have the same issue as Go: it's possible, but very hard to eliminate all pieces from the board, but the number of pieces in the hand is unlimited.

its no achievement to hold the first rank on a game type ???

i finally managed to be #1 in a game type (wont be long .. dont worry :))
and then i found out it didnt give me an achievement :)

Hrqls: It can be done.

Fencer: lol

can = will ? ;)

I thought this meant that for 10 (50) game types, you have to win 50 games against different opponents. But then it claims that for the first one, I've done "7/10", which I assume to mean that I've beaten 50 different opponents in 7 different game types; however, for the second one, I have "6/50". Which would mean I've beaten 50 different opponents in only 6 different game types.

But that doesn't make sense.

So, what does this archievement mean? Or is there a bug somewhere?

AbigailII: what if 7/10 really means you've beaten 7 different opponents if 50 different game types?

AbigailII: I think there is a bug in those achievements, too. For the achievement "10 won games of 50 game types and at least 10 moves," I have watched and counted several variants where I have sailed past 10 victories against unique opponents and more than 10 moves, but the counter never changed. The only explanation I can think of is this: The unique opponents that you have beaten in one variant can not be the same opponents you have beaten in another variant. For example, if I beat 10 different people in atomic chess, I must beat a totally different set of 10 people in corner chess in order for me to get credit for those 2 variants, meaning 20 unique people. If this is not the case, then there is definitely a bug.

I have just added 11 Espionage achievements and I would like to add that, due to nature of this game and other things, these achievements will NOT be given manually on a player's demand, based on finished games.
It means that everybody shares the same start point.

Could you add: Win a game of Espionage by capturing all opponent's moving pieces?

joshi tm: But this is how most games end?
Perhaps win by capturing all opponents moving pieces and not losing any of yours?

Fencer: This is fantastic thank you.
I do like the 'First Line Hero', but will leave that one until I play you

Fencer: I take it that these achievements apply to all the espionage variants?

SL-Mark: Yes.

Fencer: Great, thank you.
