<I would like to see additional filter in tournaments listing based on Time Control & BKR & possible to sign up.

Personnally I prefer to play only +5 days games and it would ease game finding if I could define that I wan't to see only games where I have more than five days for move and I am able to sign up.

Currently I need to go into each game just to see that my BKR is too low or I don't have enough brains to join the game.

Also possibility create automatic filter & notifier which notify me when ever there is a new tournamet available corresponding my predefined criteras would be cool.

Example: I could create rule that I would like to receive message from all backgammon games where the move time is more than 5 days and I am able to join the game. BKR is suitable, not full already...

Actually it could be additional functionality in find tournaments. --> Send notify if tournamet matching the criterias is created.

I posted these request already month ago and keep posting monthly based until I receive some comments

I love mastermind also. I could see a few different ways it could be brought to a game site.

1) opponent vs. opponent - that is each person picks the color sequinse for the other player to figure out. If you figure yours out before the other player figures out the one you made for them - you win.

2) System picks a random one for both players to try to figure out - one to do it in less moves wins (can not see what the other player is guessing)

3) The system picks a random one, then each player takes turn trying to solve the same puzzle - so you build off of what your opponent does. That is player 1 playes. Player 2 sees the results, and tries the next guess. and so on.... even though while I type this one, I can see some just stalling forever so they don't give their opponent any help, so this one might now work.

I would also recomend that at least 5 codes are used (I believe the 4 has been solved in like 5 moves) - 6 would be best. (Or have 2 versions - a 6 long, and ultimate 8 long or something)

Would it be possible to play Ludo with a doubling cube?

Nothingness: I like mastermind too, I spent hours playing that when I was a kid!

If that is the case, than it should be much easier to create ads to a person specific info...

Pedro... - 200 wins huh?

rednaz23: Because I am sure you probably work directly with some one else that does the ads automatically for you!

1) I doubt it.
2) I've always loved when somebody said "I'm sure you probably...."

Fencer: I don't know if you work with an "ad go-between site" (don't know the right term here), but if not, you could focus ads from certain languages or certain markets (countries or states), to certain people with those characteristics. This could focus your ads to the people, and could increase your funds through these ads. However, I doubt this will work! Because I am sure you probably work directly with some one else that does the ads automatically for you! But you could always send an idea like that to them, and intergrate your system with theirs... if that would be possible, you could both make more money... just an idea. Discard if it doesn't work. :-)

How about a board for famous & favorite Quotes? I think it would be a hit.

gambler104: Impossible.

Is it possible to have them translated to the language of our choice?

gambler104: Just go to their profile (click on their name). If they have set any vacation days, it should display there (most paying members leave it to the autovacation system, though, so you may see nothing)

Is it possible to see when someone has a planned vacation?

I think it would be interesting to see something like record versus top 100 or some other number. This might be difficult because of the frequent BKR changes, but it's just an idea.

CRY ME A RIVER: We are having the same problem today with Hyper backgammon 1 Hour Time.I am getting other games trought.Plus i am not getting any reply from no one here.

I have a simple request for a game... Mastermind. or some variation of it... teh game is rather elementary but im sure you could come up with some sorta way to make the game more challenging. such as playing both sides of the puzzle and whoever guesses it correctly in less guesses wins.

I'm sure this has been asked many times so pardon my laziness for not taking the time to search through these messages but is their any chance we can see dots and boxes brought to this site?

M132T003C: Your suggestion was done some time ago but it´s not available for nobody (free or not) in this moment.

Matarilevich: I know it's free because I can see it. My suggestion was to show Total and Average BKR for each player on their profile page, or at least your own

Tournaments only start every hour (I think five minutes after the hour). So you probably just needed to wait.

First Five Open Backgammon.
Was filled close to 1 hour ago how come it is not started.
This is a 1 hour game.
WE have had them before and they all started right away.

M132T003C: It´s free but it´s just shown the best fifty on the stats page, maybe in a next future all players...

It'd be nice if we could see Total and Average BKR scores on the profile page that shows all the individual BKR scores.
There are already stats showing the best Totals and averages, so I don't see why not

(or is this one of the things only paying members can see?)

Well, i found the answer. Running and Open depends of the parameter Status of the tournament. However i don´t know if it works correctly.

I have 2 two tournaments as open because some kind of games haven´t started but my games are running. It doesn´t seem very logic.

In this moment i have 20 unfinished single tournaments. In my profile, i can see 18 of them when i set the filter as running and the other 2 when i set it as open. My question is: Which is the difference between running and open?

Mr. Shumway: oh my goodness! i didn't see that at all (obviously)! :D thank you!

How do you down size Ludo on game sheet I can't seem to find it.

Fencer: OK.

TKR101010: Sure. A bigger board/piece set.
Yeah, stairs, of course.

Summertop: It's not a matter of trust. Nobody but me or Liquid can do it. At least now.

I forgot to ask that Go be added to the stairs too, please :)

Hi Fencer :)

Thanks for adding Go to the site. That's one of the games I've been waiting for.

Are there any plans to make different board/piece sizes available in our settings like we have for other games?

Jason: I can see that...

So, Fencer, can Global Mods be trusted to approve new members?

Summertop: I think it used to be like that , but was altered to stop multinicks, bad names ect , or so i believe .

Summertop: That is something only Fencer can do.

I have a friend (Really, I do!) that is trying to register on BrainKing. His account is "waiting for approval". Is this something Fencer has to do or can the Globs do it?

My suggestion is to have an automated way...register, BK sends a confirmation email, user must respond to that email to finish registration.

How about a backgammon variant using the "old english rule" that not more than five checkers can be on one point at the same time? I used to play it like this ;)

pauloaguia: Sure, why not.

Fencer: does that mean they will be?

I would like to be able to see which fellowships have teams without my being the captain. As it is now, only the captain can see which teams are available to be challenged. I want to be able to view the teams, not challenge them. It's way to cumbersome to go to each fellowship and see who has a team for us to challenge.

plaintiger: right above the note is a link saying "show above the board" :)

edit: and it defaults the position!

the ability to enter notes on a game would be a lot more useful if one's notes appeared above the board on subsequent moves, right above the opponent's comments, if any. as it is, i make notes and often forget i've made them, especially if some hours or days elapse between the time i make the note and my next move. i'll make a note for my next move and then never see the note again, or only see it when the game's over. that's not a very useful note.

Andre Faria: Portuguese Checkers are not implemented here yet.

Andre Faria: I'm certainly no checkers expert; I just used what he said in his announcement. Sorry for any confusion. :)

jurek: not all checkers...

jurek: Ok!

Matarilevich: That's precicely what Fencer is doing. In Chess, white moves first. In Shogi, Go, Pente, Checkers, etc black moves first. And so on and so forth.

I think it´s not a good idea. I can not imagine a game of chess with the white as black and viceversa. In this case, would the colour of the squares change too? If it doesn´t change then the queen black would be on a white square and the white queen on a black square with the current colour squares and in the other case then the right square of the corner it´d be a black square.

I think if it´s not possible a specific solution for each kind of game then it´s better the white starts always the game than playing with the colours changed.

Let me help fencer, if I might
His lame excuses make us fight
We can forget all the rest
What Francoir said is the best
The system wont support our plight
Alas we must give up this fight :(

Groucho:
I agree with all my heart
(This reply to play my part)
Please give autopass a shot
What we want's not what we got

And once again Fencer
Before you reply
You must answer in rhyme
(so give it a try)
