Maybe instead of wasting so much time if a person has no desire to be interviewed or take the time to participate they tell people in advance so there isnt a 3 months waiting period after they are sent the questions.

Just a thought... No one has taken this long to return the questions before.. It just holds every thing up

Then he'll have to send them to me, NOT DONE.  After it I'll have to read it and possibly arrange the questions in a better order since I just sent them to Czuch unarranged, NOT DONE.  And finally I'll send them to Fencer, NOT DONE.

Fencer: I see. I figured it had to be something like that. And since I'm not likely to move at least once every 30 min when I'm at work, I'll have to live with that.
But I'm starting to find more and more attractive the idea someone sugested about being able to flag games to (not) move to at the next turn ;) Would certainly be more usefull that many of those "Move and goto..." options that exist right now (and would have probably avoided creating some of them ;))

pauloaguia: Of course, if you make no action for 30 minutes, the session expires and when it's automatically recreated after your next click, the session-only data are lost. Since the "play later" data are not persistent (it would make no sense to store them to the database due to their short lifecycle), they are not recreated.

pauloaguia: I agree... i think that if you use the play later option, that game should not come back up on your screen until you select it from your main page. It is very frustrating when you want to avoid playing a few games and they keep popping back up on your screen.

Sujet: Play later
I usually have my games sorted by "time of last move", descending so that the games most recently played come first. This way I can progress on my games while my opponents are online, making the games faster (and easier to keep them on my mind too).

Whenever a game shows up and I think that I need some more time to think about it, I click the PlayLater button and it doesn't show up again. If in the process I go back to the main page, it's natural the games I decided to play later will come back again.
However, I've noticed that if I take too long playing through my games (usually, when I'm playing from work where I play a couple of games at a time and then go back to work) I noticed that, after some time, the "PlayLater" games come back up again, even if I have some more games that still haven't showed up.

So, what exactly does this button do? Does it just put the games on hold for a while? How long is that while? Could it be configurable? Or is this some sort of bug?

Hieronymus: I Can't see why such a game can't be rated. Two people wanting to play without the stress of a time limit may also want to get a ranking, no?
The way I see it, only if you decide to forfeit such a game because of the other player being inactive, should it be considered as unrated.

were you able to offer the double before you offered the draw ?
i think you can remove the draw offer (?) so you can try again ?

Fencer: Well, I posted a comment on the blog but now I see it's also being discussed here. My sugestion was to make it so a Delete button displays after one of the players hasn't logged in for a long time (or, now that I think about it, after a move hasn't been played in a long time).
Deleting the game would forfeit it without affecting any of the players BKR, of course.

If they're both friends that will want to resume the game 2 years later, then they won't use the delete button. If it's a game you're stuck with, you can get out of it without any consequences...

Besides, the incidences of the problems with people who want the old unfinished games deleted outweigh the number of "two friends two years" scenarios...

18. Janvier 2007, 07:33:20

If they are friends, I think that they would let a game go unfinished, and in two years, start another. Two years is a long time not to be on brainking! (I'm on every day...) Between friends, one game can be let go, I think.

In response to Fencer's newest post regarding Fischer clocks and games that are set to zero so that they never time out: "If you know how to solve this small problem, please let me know."

We should set a limit on what constitutes an inactive player. If a player doesn't move in any game, for, say, nine months or a year, then we could describe them as inactive. Then, if a player has started a game with no time limit, that game should be forfeited once that player has reached the inactive point.

Same with this one... Cloning Backgammon (BIG BAD WOLF vs. Czuch Czuckers)

It looks like the problem is that I offered a draw, but I still should be able to offer a double as my turn, but it wont let me?

A simple refresh/reload will only get the text, and if the images are incorrectly stored in the cache, they will remain incorrect.

Regarding Fencer's latest posting (on Brainking.info), concerning players from around the world...
It would be interesting to see accurate statistics on where players are actually playing from. Some players say they are from countries that they are actually not from (I always get my hopes up when a player says they are from Tibet). It would be nice, since Fencer is able to, to see one set of accurate statistics showing how many players actually play from their own countries. I know how time-consuming that would be I guess...

At least, shouldnt there be some way to resign the games in one turn each? As it is cirrently, I only lose 3 points to resign a game. At that rate it can take me a couple of months just to resign my way out of the tournament!


offer a double then resign when it is accepted. or if the other side is amenable.  they can also offer you adouble afterwards then you can accept it and your out in one game
