Walter Montego: yes I realize it was 8 months ago and I dont really think you could be a Service Rep here AND NOT LOG ON....if someone needed help you wouldnt get the message :(

You could be a service rep and not play games but she hasnt logged on...

Princess Kammy was part of the KM so I can't understand how she became a service rep in the first place :(

BerniceC: That's 8 months ago, though. Is James right about the service, or just the lack of logging on? Seems like you could be a Service Rep and not play games here, couldn't you?

JamesHird:
tht link says last action 30. August 2004, 13:37:49, which is a long way past april.

I think Princes Kammy

should be deleted form being a Customer Service Rep.
It is kind of ridiculous having a CSR that has not been online in almost a whole year. I think April marks a year.
Time to cut off the dead wood and grow anew

Fencer: LOL! have fun with making it 'prepared' then.

The right-left direction will be a spooky thing, BK is not prepared for such layout :-D

Fencer: Great. Waiting to see the result ......

bumble: Fencer has already asked me to do that. I sent him the log-in page translated into farsi but Fencer said the system doesn't recognize the letters so I stopped working on it.

reza: I've prepared a translation tool built in BrainKing itself. But it's not possible to use it for Farsi until the database is upgraded. It should happen within a week or two, I hope.

reza: The site is being translated into several languages. It's part of Fencer's cunning plan for world domination.

I don't think there is anyone doing Farsi. Are you offering.

It appears to me that ughaibu is translating the site to Japanese or Chinese or something, right?

By the way Fencer, did you manage to make your system read Farsi?

Thanks. I dont like any of those games so I never explored the page's function.

ughaibu: That's it! And this feature exists since 2003, how come you didn't find it before? :-)

You mean I can define a default starting position at that page so as to avoid the necessity of setting up the position each time I start one of those games?

BIG BAD WOLF: Yes, our time was changed on Sunday.

ughaibu: On that page, you can prepare starting positions for games where they must be edited before a game starts (Battleboats, Screen Chess, etc.). Just try it.

yes it should BBW. I noticed it coincide with the time change over the pond last weekend. Sunday morning it will be back right for us again.

OK, that could be - I think our time changes this upcomming weekend, so hopefully it will fix itself then.

yep...summertime started on sunday morning at 2am here

Did the server time recently change? Well I normally keep my clock on this site the same as Czech time - that way midnight in Czech is 5pm my time.

But now midnight Czech time is 4pm. Did something change?

Read this page.

menu shows: Waiting games (425), but when I go to see list of games it's only 2 pages. Do I miss something?

What the hell is this godawfull game editing page? It's all very well to ask me to translate this stuff but what the. . . . . . . .

Pedro Martínez: that's great, thanks.

Pedro Martínez: You're right! it works, I just tried it!

BerniceC: Of course you can send a message to yourself. See that little envelope next to your ID below? Click on it and there you go!!!

Fencer: isn't it possible to makew itb show you how many moves you made that day, if your nearer teh record you might push that little bit harder for it.

ScarletRose: I think you can see how many you moved the previous day? Where it says the most moves made hit the MORE and look for your name!

Fencer: OH dear....someone sent me a way to do it....and yes In the end I did use notepad :)

thanks :)

ScarletRose: No, you cannot. Until you hit a record :-)

BerniceC: Of course you can't do that. Use Notepad instead.

hehehe....I had no one to talk to and wanted to send myself a message LOLOL

I can't do that????? it says there is no such user as BerniceC!

can check how many turns they have made in the day?

The invitations with the same creator ID, game type, creator color and days per move are grouped into one.

furbster: no worries

thats great that, exactly what i had in mind when i suggested my ramble on feature requests lol thanks reza!

furbster: NO! you can have as many invitations as you want but they'll be filed in two 'directories' : BLACK and WHITE

so you can only put 2 games of same type on waiting games now?

Fencer: this is nice!

Fencer:

pauloaguia: Yes.

Fencer: Can it have the page links on top of the list as well? I only see them on the bottom of the table.

nice!

Ah! So it only shows two invites for any one game type from any one player?
Have I got that right?

And how do you like the Waiting Games page?

BerniceC: Cool!
It's nice to see someone from Svalbad and Jan Mayen playing here.

Now where is it? I've never heard of it!

I just love the "Country" on the player list link (is that new? I havent seen it before)....128 Australians....isnt it a pity we dont see more ofthem :( BananaD , WhisperzQ and a couple others....would be great to set up "Country Challenges"

Thanks Fencer...havent seen it and it looks great :)

ughaibu: well from someone that really dont know either, It looks as tho it is (for battleboats) to let you see how to set up the board....but I am probably wrong LOLOL

Would somebody be kind enough to explain to me how the "game editors" page functions?

EdTrice: ah! thanks!

that explains something i have been wondering about for some time already :)
i have played more games of hyper gammon than backgammon (323 vs 255) but still my hyper gammon bkr changes a lot while my backgammon bkr behaves exactly like described below (8-13 points difference depending a bit on how many i won/lost in succession lately)

of course my hyper gammon has a much higher deviation :)

taking the deviaton into account can explain both the effect of hyper gammon vs backgammon as well as the effect of a lot of wins in succession


i asked for the formula as well and thought i found it via google .. but then someone else (i forgot who and on which board :)) posted the correct link with the correct formula (fencer responded with 'yes' i think ;)) .. it might be the one pedro posted as well :)
