Roberto Silva: It's a weird rule and as far as I know only GT uses it. It's optional, games can be set up as timeout=loss of turn or =loss of game. It has several unforeseen consequences.

Does anyone know how the number of Brain King paying members today compares with the numbers from years back? Are there more today? Or fewer?

rabbitoid: timeout = loss of turn? So if you get in 'Zugzwang', you simply time out, and it is your opponent's turn? That should blow up many games.

ketchuplover: No, still ongoing. http://www.goldtoken.com/games/play?g=115447

The statistics are interesting. It's a 15-day game. For both players it's their only ongoing game. It started on 24 Oct 2001 when Goldtoken was barely 2 years old. , Only 254 moves so far.

Goldtoken shows think time (Fencer! PLEASE!!). The clocks read:
NLStardust : 432 days = about 1 year 2 months.
3334: 2219 days = about 10 years 7 months.
The last piece taken was on move 167, which was played in 2008.

Please note that the game is played under Glodtoken's queer "timeout = loss of turn" rule. 3334 timed out twice so far.

Marshmud: That is why I keep mentioning it every once and awhile - I know he is busy with real life, but you never know when he might feel like sitting down for awhile and doing a little programming of a new game. Something like this, or maybe a 6 color logik game variant would be something he can do some-what easily.

crosseyed: I would love to see Fencer add Express Ludo to the site - the same game setup, with the following changes:

You can take a piece out of your home area with a 1 or 6

You roll 2 die EVERY TURN, and only 2 die - doesn't matter if you get a 6 and get an extra roll - just 2 roll each turn.

You can also use the 2 rolls like gammon - can use each die for different pieces, or same piece, in any order (but like gammon - have to use both if possible).

For Ludo being one of the most popular games on the site - and people liking games that are quicker - think it would be a very popular variant (and hopefully not very much extra programming.)

Artful Dodger: Think it is never right to have so many passes. And that is what puts me off play Ludo in here.

Sujet: Re: Ludo.

crosseyed: I got out a couple of times but kept getting sent back in. I had 53 moves, 35 of which were passes. Only 3 times did I roll a 6. Each piece was knocked back in. I think it's likely rare as it's never happened to me before. But it would be interesting to calculate the odds!

This site is worth lots to me. I wish Fencer was more active like he was eight years ago, but it's still a great site. I too am a lot less active on this site than I was back then, but I blame that on the creation of the global moderators and some of the things that happened at the beginning of that period. In fact, it was a link by you Pedro that tricked me into ending my personal embargo of this discussion board.

Heluvagi: I don't think he can be arsed. He has stated several times that BK is no longer one of his priorities. This and the deterioration of this site I (and actually, we all) have been experiencing is also making me believe that BK is not worth much for the time being.

Pedro Martínez: Really? I have no idea what the site is worth (nor do I know why anyone really cares), but it seems pretty apparent that those sites are automatically calculating revenue based on a site's ad revenue potential. I doubt there's any automated website that calculates a site's paid membership revenues.
