I am sure No 1 was brought up a long time ago, just cant think why it was never used, seems so obvious.

BIG BAD WOLF: I think if we had that active / non-active tag beside there name it would work. One they could set themselves if they just didnt want any more games to play for a while, but it would set it self to non-active if they have not been on Brainking for 30 days for example.
Then the Captain would always know.

gambler104: It doesnt bother me at all, but i do know quite a few it does annoy. Like i said, when you enter any game or tournament the rules of it are there for you to except, for both/all players.
No one should have to message anyone(maybe the Tournament organiser), though i know it happens. All i would say is that i do think some players should look at the tournaments they are in more, then they would know if they are the only ones left playing games in it.
Maybe if some people used the drop box and goto next Tournament game they may get through them quicker.

Jason: I agree, i have alot of games, but still make at least one move on each every day, unless i am not here long LOL

AND i also i agree with snowhugs, some people have too many games & wait till the last day virtually to make a move in a Tournament, so holding it up, BUT then again they are also using the rules laid down. They have a certain time to make a move before they timeout, so why not use it.

Its catch 22 then, some of us want to speed Tournaments up, some dont. Problem is, the ones that dont till always win, as the tournament wont carry on till there game(s) is finished.

Jason: Just done it, it took about 2 seconds. Restarted Firefox and its there to use, just place your cursor on the edge/corner of the box and stretch it like a normal window.

Great one Mr. Shumway, i can see me using it alot, and not using my notepad again

Mr. Shumway: Great stuff, thanks i will have a look at it

Could the 'Change description:' & 'Change extra description:' (why do we need 2 ??) boxes be made bigger when editing a Fellowship or at least an option to do so. A lot of us try to get alot of information in there, including links etc.. and it does all tend to get a bit confusing. I know we can use notepad and then copy it in there which is what i do, but when you may be only changing a small thing it can be time consuming (though i do have alot of time lol).
I think it was mentioned before about changing the size of the box in our notepad as well, thats needed for the same reason.

Harassed: That would be a good idea, to know what was on his TODO list or things that have been requested and he is working on so they dont get request again. People seeing what he is working on (apart from his secret stuff lol) may even have ideas to help him.

Oh, how about a message we can put up when we are not at out computers like in Messenger. Like many people i leave my PC logged in from morning till night, but i am not always here. If we could put an Away, Doing Dinner, on the Phone etc...message up instead of Browsing main Page it may stop people sending messages asking you to move.

rabbitoid: ROFL great stuff, dont give Fencer ideas though, you know what will happen

Could the Big Bosses please get a message when a Team Fellowship match finishes(and starts) please, as well as the Captain, just so we can the rest of the Fellowship up to date & post results.

emmett: If you understand b, /b & Links etc.... you should understand this

(font color="0000ff" size="+5") Hello (/font)

Replace the ( ) with <> and you will get Hello

Between the 2 " signs is an RGB code you can look them up on the web made up of letters and numbers for every colour you can think of. Size is pretty obvious i think LOL

imsoaddicted: I thought you used his Greasemonkey Script. Any game you want can be added as a Priority (or taken off), then when you opponent has moved it goes to the top of your next game to play list. I set all pawns to it, and any red dot games i am in.

imsoaddicted: I am sure if you have a word with hexkid he will add it to his Greasemonkey script. I only have 5 options in my drop box now, the ones i need and use. Oh, and the priority games one.

BIG BAD WOLF: I like the idea. Lines of Action & Scrambled Eggs are both great games and could have many good variations.

I was thinking of a variation, that would place a certain ammount of random holes on the board. In other words squares where neither you or your opponent could go. Obviously your gameplay would have to change for every game then, as every board would be different.

pauloaguia: Yes, thats exactly what i mean. At the moment it looks like the game number corresponds to the number below it, where it doesnt. With the game numbers in the centre column and the Game score either side so they will still total up to the Match score at the top.

hexkid: Either that or have the Game No.s centralised one above the other, with the score either side. Like this:

Korg Triton (Gaming Palace vs. Blizzards)

kid_game_2001      0      1909255      1      MadMonkey
                          1909256

Fencer: Like lots of Rooks i have alot of games, i also try to play Pawns and new players. Would it be possible to have a option/tick box to move games against Pawns to the top of our Next to play list, they tend to get a bit lost in all the other games.
As a Pawn can only have 20 games max, it can get rather boring for them to wait for games against Knights, Rooks etc...to come back to them.
This can work for good, by trying to urge them to get a paid membership, or bad just totaly put them off all together. To me the more games they play or different types of games they can play or learn, the more chance there is of them buying a paid membership.

mctrivia: Thats what was mentioned before, to set tournaments, invite & accept members etc.... It would hopefully save having to find a temp boss if the Big one was away etc...

Fencer: Some months ago there was a discussion about having the option to have a Mini-Boss in a Fellowship, that would have all the power of the BigBoss except being able to delete it. Is this still going to go ahead when you have time

Jason: Agreed he should, but also it is hardly a Feature reaquets what ever is up with the posts.

Jason: The way Gentlegiant101 message reads is that he would like users blocked on a board, after he got flaming aimed at him. Nothing about his posts being moderated.....maybe i am reading it wrong, but thats what it says.

Jason: Cant you? Why are pawns allowed in Fellowships anyway?

So if it is a public board that this happened on, why was it not moderated then ?

pauloaguia: Unless you are a Pawn, that used to be a Knight or Rook AND are still in a Fellowship, there are loads of them.

Gentlegiant101: If it is a legitimate reason, a Moderator can block anyone from posting to a board.
I would not imagine this was a public board was it ?

Would it be possible to have access to the Context menu items through a drop menu like the games in the top left corner, so we could access it from any page ?

This way we could still have cut/paste enabled on our mouse.

Mr. Shumway: I already asked Fencer for a Monkey one, he told me to find one, so i found lots LOL, i dont know what they have to be like so they can work on brainking though.

joshi tm: Hmmmmmm good question, i presume Fencer has not got round to adding them to his Stairs yet.

In Stairs, there is an option for adding a Game to a list of Stairs, could we have one to remove a Game please Fencer.

mctrivia: Maybe when 'another' board is added to a Fellowship, it should automatically create a link on the Fellowship main DB, maybe at the top just under the Fellowship name. Then a red number could show up if a message was added to the main board or one of the linked boards.

Lawless: Sounds like another column that shows 'Game Time per move' would be in order to me, then you could sort by that as well. Not a bad idea at all.

pauloaguia: I see it now, we dont see the option until we have made a note.

pauloaguia: All i have above my note box is:

Note (visible for you only):

I think this has been asked before, and maybe still on your list Fencer.
Please could we have the Note box in games show up at the top of the page IF a note has been made, or at least an option in Settings to move it there like the other options we have.
It comes in handy when you play alot of games and may lose track of your train of thought. Sometimes i get back to a game i end up making a totaly different move to the one i was thinking about

rod03801: I like that idea

Binabik: I have to agree, when you play alot of Assimilation & Lines of Action, it can alter the way you see the games. One needs changing.

Fencer: Do you think we could have EITHER a tick box in the message that contains a tournament game Win or Loss, that when ticked will delete the message after we click on the Tournament link OR a select button saying 'Delete & goto Tournament'.

Save keep having to go back to delete the message once we have read/used it.

pedrored: Agreed, thats how i have played it before.

hexkid: The Boogers version with 4 players looks interesting. We need some multi-player(more than 2 lol) games on Brainking.

Outbreak that they have Goltoken is another good game (Fencer ) LOL.

MadMonkey: Just replying to myself.
I requested a 'Move and goto next TEAM Tournament' option in the Drop list (dont shout i know its a good idea).
I was just wondering why the 'Move and goto next game of this Tournament' do what it says it should do??
It seems it does not count Team Tourny's as actual Tournaments, most odd...

Fencer, could we have another option in our Move and goto drop list.
Move and goto next game in TEAM Tournament.
Oh, and while you are there may has well have.....
Move and goto next GAME in Fellowship challenge match.

Oh i won a game of Lines in Action by the way LOL

bouncybouncy: There is an option in the drop list, i use it all the time when i first come on line, play the peoplee that are not here first, makes more sense to me to do that. Stops all the other games being thrown back at you. Its the 3rd option from the bottom.

We have the option here to be cloaked Fencer (strange,but there you go lol).
Could we not have an option to have a list of things like on Messengers like Busy, Away, BRB, Out to lunch etc....
At least then we may know if someone is coming back soon or whatever.

At the end of the Outbox could we have a move to Archive choice. Over time i have saved copies of info etc... i wanted to keep and the Outbox was the only choice. Would be nice to select message and Archive them instead.

Fencer: I know LOL, thats nice to get an email to say someone has responded back. I think it will work well

zekehansell: It's a lovely thought that has been gone over time & time again. I think we know Fencers outlook on it though lol

plaintiger: Well the Favourite boards is in alphabetical order lol

ChrisC: I agree Chris. Go to some pages where all Games are listed e.g. Rules page, would be nicer and easier in alpabetical order. Also be handy in Fellowships as well.

MadMonkey: I like Monkeys idea, it makes so much sense

OH and YAHTZEE is a good multi player game Darren. More players the better.....

Fencer: Just an idea (but a good one though lol) about signing up for more than one game in a particular tournament.

If a tournament has more than one game to sign up for (between 2 & 67 obviously) how aboout having tick boxes on the sign up page, rather than having to go into each one, sign up then go back to the list again and do the same over & over again.

It would be alot quicker & easier

Walter Montego: I have to agree with Brian. Autopass is a great, much needed feature that BrainKing does not have. As he says it only has to be an option to be set at the start of a game like any other option OR it could just come onto the screen when a player can not move, then they can either choose to Autopass or not. No one is forced to use it, BUT there are many who i know for a fact would.
Maybe Fencer may have a change of heart in the New Year
Oh, and yes Brian does get a bit carried away LOL
