BIG BAD WOLF: this is also the slowest for playing at too. I have an extreme cable connection and still I am twiddling my thumbs on this site.

BIG BAD WOLF: that is how pocket-monkey does it I believe

Oceans Apart: I just got Cyan which says 75% bonus. I assume that means if I pay for a year I get 1 year and 9 months membership?

Oceans Apart: thanks, that is an interesting feature

Fencer: what is meant by "light bulbs"?

Can we have autopass on Ludo please
Thanks

mctrivia: lol

You cannot join the fellowship because this feature is available for Brain Knight or higher membership level.
You can solve this unpleasant situation by upgrading your membership.

WatfordFC: exactly, there is a work around

Mr. Shumway: isnt it possible to cancel a game if you havent made too many moves. If so, isnt it possible someone would keep cancelling until they got to play the color they wanted?

grenv: exactly right grenv, the point mctrivia makes on this is irrelevant to the speed rating.

A different rating may be an average of time it takes for a player to actually make a move when it is their turn. This would be more accurate than my first suggestion. If mctrivia modified his post a little, maybe he meant that in a 7 day game your opponent can take all 7 days, you can then move immediately but it is still only one move in 7 days making you look bad.

Something more along the lines of the time taken feature at goldtoken but get an average per move, this way your slow opponents wouldnt affect your speed rating.

So mctrivia, indirectly, thank you very much for pointing out a flaw in my original idea :)

grenv: why not have a simple rating for every player.
Moves / Game
then it doesnt matter quite so much how many games they have started. If they have 100 active games and make 200 moves that day, they score a rating of 2. (2 moves per game per day)
If they have 600 games and make 50 moves, they have a rating of 0.083.

Then set a tournament that only accepts players with ratings over whatever the creator sets.

This would not totally guarantee a specialist from screwing up the tournament but it would help a lot and certainly help identify slow players

CryingLoser: I was under the impression this whole idea started because many people were getting frustrated with specialists holding up games. The target seems to have moved away from that directive

mctrivia: is it easy to write a script? I am not a programmer

BIG BAD WOLF: thanks. I find the pictures can make it hard to follow a thread by taking up room. So many times now I look on a board, General Chat for example, and I try and read the newst 20 messages and it looks like a lot but it ends up being filled with single messages such as "lol" only etc and as it turns out, all 20 messages are often pointless.

rod03801: why would you laugh at that suggestion? It was a real question and not intended to be a setup for mockery. You are also a moderator so maybe you should moderate your own comment

is there any way for us to turn off the player pictures and smileys?

CRY ME A RIVER: better yet, maybe there should be a limit. Tournaments with less than 10 or 20 players dont count for tourney wins. Lets face it, having a tourney win in a 4 person tournament is kind of silly. Maybe some egomaniacs like it but it is pointless and the wins mean nothing

grenv: I have always steered away from that type ofthing (including yahoo toolbar) for 3 main reasons

1. It takes up browser viewable space

2. I always thought that there may be some kind of spyware or adaware involved in it

3. I thought it decreased the performance of my PC

If anyone has any relevant information to address any of my concerns I would welcome it

wellywales: LOL that doesn't help pawns who can't edit posts

wellywales: do you mean like the one in gmail? I thought that was so cool a web based email having a spell checker. I would imagine it is difficult to implement though if yahoo and hotmail dont have it

rednaz23: they have that at pocket-monkey, it is a good feature
