I like the new system using hours instead of days for vacation. Will the number of hours for vacation also be mentioned as days, so as to have an idea about the remaining time ?
Bernice: Yeah, it must be. I just noticed my Event box only goes back to Nov 11. I couldn't remember when the Event box started, so I checked Brainking.info, and it was Oct 21 or so. So, yes, automatic deletion must be happening. I would guess it only keeps things for a month.
Bernice: I believe Fencer contemplated having some sort of automatic deletion in that box, but I don't recall him saying he had programmed that. I see there is an "Archive" box there. I would recommend sending those you want to save to that Archive box. (If that's the one you meant they disappeared from, then I don't know what to say! lol)
I really like the fact that is will add 1 hour to ALL GAMES - and not just the ones that timed out.
Even though it hasn't been a problem for me for awhile since I got my game count down - when I had 1,000+ games and something would come up and I was unable to play for a few days - having the time only added to games that timed out mean all my games suddenly had less then 24 hours to play... meaning sometimes it would take me a couple extra vacation days to "catch up" to normal play.
I agree with you Fencer, less options makes an automated system less abusive. Keep it that way. Even for a turned based game-site , set rules for those who have never seen a real gameboard in their life or just people trying to abuse the system. Internet has given these options, But we / i also want to keep; a nice pace, stay interested in the games, not losing the flow, the feel and emotion of a game while waiting for an opponent.
happyjuggler0: You might decide it's not worth using up lots of vacation to save one or two games from timing out, when you might need the vacation later in the year to save many more games from timing out. This could happen if you're desperately trying to finish your games before going away, but due to a slow player or two, you don't quite make it.
happyjuggler0: Because of the reason Fencer is changing it. Some like to pick their own vacation days...then cancel them so they get the extended time to play but NEVER actually use a vacation day
Fencer: All vacation will be automatic, which also means that the calendar would be removed from Settings page (it should disable all attempts of cheating by periodical setting/unsetting of scheduled vacation days, as we could see in the past). Users of all membership levels will be allowed to activate/deactivate automatic vacation anytime.
*Users of all membership levels will be allowed to activate/deactivate automatic vacation anytime.* If we choose to deactivate automatic vacation would we then be able to schedule vacation days like before
ellieoop:" BrainKing has detected that the site was inaccessible from 1. December 2010, 02:26:49 to 1. December 2010, 03:27:35. In order to avoid timeouts in started games, the timeout checking process has been automatically suspended. It will be reenabled as of 2. December 2010, 03:27:35. Thank you for understanding." I think your friend should be ok
thisbeme: i couldn't get on and alexlee was trying to get on but had to go to work. she has some 1 day ponds and maybe other games that's she's worried about.. she would hate to lose those games.
Again you're welcome for the upgrade. And yes thats true in a way, i am nr 4 now in keryo :) I hope you challenge the other players as well to see where you are standing :) Good luck and have fun m8 ! :)
Ok, I messed up the first time that I tried to make him a public friend, but I got it right this time.
I think that what I did the first time was click the wrong button after clicking the lock, and as a result I actually removed him from my friends list. I had to put him back on the list again, which I thought was odd at the time....
Wow, another membership! Thanks once again, that is generous of you, especially considering that thanks to our games together I took your number 2 spot in the keryo pente ratings list, for now anyway....
rod03801: Thanks rod, your instruction was perfectly helpful; now I have to wait for him to agree to allow me to put him on my public friends list.
I never saw that padlock before. The way this is set up is totally unintuitive.
rod, I don't know how to add a submission to the "tips" list, but I suggest that you do so. I can't possibly be the only person who had that question before....
happyjuggler0: Go to your friends list. (From the link on the left, under Profile section) You will see a little padlock next to his/her name. Click that.
Argomento: Re: "Go to next game of similar type" button
El Cid: There will be 13 groups and 11 subgroups of game types in the next BrainKing version, so I guess the "go to next" action should be a little more meaningful.
Argomento: "Go to next game of similar type" button
Apparently Jungle, Assimilation, Dice Pokers, Mastermind, Frogs Legs/frogfinder, Mancala, Froglet are all of" similar type". To my mind the relationship isn't obvious. When I want to go to a similar game it is from triple/not triple dice poker 6d to dice poker 5d not mancala/assimilation/etcera!
Roberto Silva: thank you, Roberto. no wonder i couldn't find it...seems to me a weird place for it. but yes, it would be nice to get Ludo on that list.
Roberto Silva: I agree I timed out with 1 legal move! in couple of games! Checkers/chess/knightfight could also have autopass/automove for the situations where there is only one legal move!
it seems to me there was an "auto-pass" feature on the site a while back; i never knew what it was for, but i think i've figured it out: i'm playing a game of Ludo; would auto-pass prevent me from being notified that it's my turn when i can't make a move, and just pass the turn for me? and if so, where is the auto-pass setting? i want to turn it on!
