There is a problem with Scrabble - Mattel owns a licence for it and it is too expensive.

Since your very busy working on all the requests, maybe there is some player who could code a BK version thats similler to the original but with enough changes to the rules & gameplay that it could legally be considered a game in its own right.!
Another option could be to offer the original Scrabble as a separate "Premium Service". If it proved popular, could well cover the cost of purchasing a licence.

the best one i have found is playsite.com they have about 10-15 rooms plus tourneys etc

I thought as much :( :( oh well I guess you cant have it all....What I cant understand is, if it is that expensive how can playsite offer it for free? They do have some sites (not scrabble) that you can play for money but I discovered that the money sites are all only links and arent Playsite. thanks anyway :)

try http://play.thedaisypatch.net/

thanks stingeroni need a PC no good for webtv

thankx B'...CYOTFS

thanks Wiz.

Fencer....just wondering...is this meant to say Prize Tournaments? Or are we going to put winning players up for auction? LOL :o)

:-)) Fixed. I always forgot the difference between these two words. The Czech translation is the same for both of them ;-)

lets put the winners up for auction lolol

why is it when i click on other peoples profiles i see all the tourneys they are in but when i click on my own profile i dont see any tourneys..? i would like to see mine there too see how many i was crazy enough to join at once...haha

eddie: Right. I will fix it :-)

also, while you're fixing own profiles, may we have a nice summary of Completed Games, like we see when looking at other players' profiles, please?

tony: I think that you can see your summary of your completed games. Or do you mean something else?

Yes, I see now, looking at my Profile. I was clicking on the 'show all finished games' on the Main Page. Thank you, fencer.

eddie: Done.

Way cool tip o'the day Fencer! That's a good idea for newbies!

Rose: If you have more tips to add, just let me know :-)

thanx fencer...

does anyone else love backgammon race?

is it true blondes like to play backgammon because it has a bar?(gee,just thought of that)
only kidding,no chauvinist here.most blondes I know are clever.
old backgammoon players never die,they just get blotted out.
does anyone else love scrabble or upwords?
I am planning a webpage on my website(see link below)with links & comments about good games (esp board & card games).there will be a sub heading for links-games-accessible on webtv
also-games-word games
if anyone knows any,please comment(or any clever blondes) - steve

hi fencer..great site..great game variations to try..the site is not slow on webtv..2 good features..I tried to send you an idea I had by email if this is a dp..ignore one.how about "crowded backgammon"..a variation..setup just the standard board..but with an extra 5 blots for each players on the bar at the start.only rule change = on a players move..removal of blot from bar is optional,can move a blot not on the bar..what do you think?

also - provisional BKR's in italics are hard to differentiate from BKR's esp on webtv..maybe a diff text color would be easier for us all.would not be a dificult prg change.is it worth the trouble,all welcome to comment.

another gammon variation, actually a variant on race, is called Greek Backgammon (quite possibly know by other names) It is essentially the same as race excepting when you hit your opponents pip, it is not sent to the bar but is held there for as long as you leave the pip covering it in place. Its a lot of fun don't know how difficult it would be to set up. I have never seen it on another website.

Hi Fencer. I'm trying out your site and overall like what I see. I'd like to make two comments, though, that you may already know but are a little annoying. First, every time I play a die I have to move the screen in order to see the whole board again. Second, when the opponent's inner board is filled and they have no potential to move off the bar, you still have to wait for them to open the game rather than coming back to your next roll automatically. Ant way to avoid that? Thanks

1) There is a setting (on your settings page - link found on left (or top, with row layout)) that allows you to put the game board at the top of the page. This could fix your first problem :-)

2) I have asked Fencer about automatic passing when there is no legal move, but he was against it - though the opponent should still be able to see the board so they do not get a board that is completely different from how they left it (when multiple passes are necessary) and so they are still able to send a message with the 'pass' move.

Welcome to a great site! :-)

Kevin

1) Thanks...that worked. :o)

2) Perhaps that could be an "option" for players to choose if they want to move the game along quicker. When my opponent does it to me, he wouldn't want to read my messages! LOL.

Thanks again. Seems like a great site so far.
Bob

I'm a new player to this site as well.Your point is good BUT if I'm on the bar and can't come on I'd like to know this,unlike a table top Bg board your not always there to know that there's no potential move,so if it goes directly back to my oppoinet then I'm thinking there's a glitch in the game because I missed my turn,and if you don't like the fact that you've been taken off the board and have nothing nice to say then you just submit to your oppoinet,but there are time when you may want to jest about been taken off the board,that to is an option.

may the worse team win (since I'd like it to be ours...)

You'd like your team to be the worse team? lol j/k

May Czech Republic win...now and always!!!

LOL

buuh, sniff

Hi Fencer,

When I view my BKR and rating lists on my main page I see these two lists:

Your best BKR

1) Linetris 1488
2) Spider Line4 1424
3) Five in Line 1198
4) Backgammon 845

Your best rating positions:

1) Linetris 47.
2) Spider Line4 89.
3) Backgammon 163.
4) Five in Line 262.

The lines 3 and 4 are messed up ;-) What belongs to what? :-)
Can you please have a look into this minor issue?

Cheers, ~*Radiant 36:9*~

They are in the correct order on both lists. The 'Your best BKR' list is simply a list of all your ratings, in order from highest to lowest. The list called 'Your best rating positions' is like your position on this site. For example, you have the 47th highest rating on the site in Linetris (that's what the 47 means). That list is just the order of those numbers, from best to worst. Hope that helps! :-)

Kevin

LOL - okay Kevin, that makes sense.. :-) Thought there was a connection with either lists. By the way they appear on your mainpage, it´s like those 2 lines are connected, that´s why I got confused. But it´s clear now, thanks..

hey dream,I like that idea.I f you hear anymore,please let me know-steve

I get a white page when I try to call up the "who is online" page. Any ideas?

simple: no one is online. not even you :)

dream: That's a "small" problem of the database driver I use. I hope that the bug will be fixed soon.

When I write a note (particularly for Dark Chess), it disappears the next time I make a move. Is there a way of keeping these notes?

tonyh: Please give me the game ID where it happened.

The game is 31756; but I now can see the notes, in a blue rectangle below where you submit your move. How, now, do we edit these notes?

Unless Fencer recently changed it, you simply add new notes and cannot change existing notes for that game. I never use notes, so i am not very familiar with how it works :-)
