Oceans Apart: Well (1) I normally don't pay attention to the Brains system - I think the Brains system could be improved into a GREAT system, but as it is now - it does not impress me so I normally don't even pay attention to the Brains. The only reason I posted was someone below mentioned it. But in my case (2), I probable did not get it since that person did not purchase the membership themselves - but it was part of the Easter deal and I did something a little different with the memberships I bought and split them up some - so since the system did not do it all automatically where it probable is set to award brains, since it was done manually by Fencer - I'm sure the Brains is not something he normally thinks about. So if he reads this and decides that I deserve some Brains - Great. If not, O'well - as the system is now, Brains don't mean much to me.
Oceans Apart: I always forget about Brains. I've referred 11 users to the site, where 1 is now a rook - and I did not get any Brains when that user became a rook. (Sure, I paid for the rook membership for them.... but they are now a refered user who is currently a paid member.)
TarantinoFan: You can't make that move because if you do, you will not be able to use the 4 for the other piece. You have to use both dice if you can... So, the game forces you to move one piece first 2 spaces, and then 4 spaces, in this case from space 13 to 11, and then from 11 to 7.
Can someone please tell me why I can't move my #16 to #14. The dice is showing a 2. I want to move a single pip on top of a pile of my own pips. It will allow me to move #13 to #11 only. I can't even choose to move #3 to #1
Eriisa: surely autopass is a great option to have and of course both players would have to agree to it to make it part of the game they were playing. It would just give those the choice if they wanted it. Players can then opt not to use it if they so choose also.
Oceans Apart: I would prefer autopass in Ludo, but a thought struck me (and it hurt too! ) but if we didn't have to take 20 turns to move out, it wouls ruin the Czech name of the game.
Oceans Apart: I personally wouldn't support autopass for ludo simply because it could take up a majority of the game. In backgammon, you only run into it in certain situations but in ludo it could occur for half of the game.
Thank you, Fencer, for highlighting the "ME" column on the Dice Poker boards. That will greatly enhance my ability to play the game successfully - I am sure of it. Hahahaha! OK, well maybe not, but it's been somewhat of a problem to instinctively know which column is mine from the bottom of the playing field.
It's nice to see the graphs available on the Main page. I'm pretty sure that it used to be only under Finished games. I think it's new, or I never noticed it before.
