Fencer:
okay thank you

"IceCold": Both options are valid.

for black rooks
do i have to buy a pawn a membership or can i extend someone elses

1. Alice Chess
2. Double-move Chess
3. Dynamo Chess
4. Avalanche Chess

My list is getting small because so many really good games are already here !
But although I am not fond of checkers, I agree that the "International" 10x10 variant is called for.

Portuguese (/Spanish /Classic) Checkers. But I've no more hope to see them in Brainking...

I would like to see here:
1. Dominoes.
2. Alice Chess.
3. Shatranj.

BIG BAD WOLF:

76: Anti Ataxx
77: Small Ludo
78: Gothic Froglet (diagonal jumps)
79: Smal Froglet 8x8
80: Large Froglet 16x16
81: Chinese Checkers
82: International Checkers
83: Ataxx 9x9
84: More of Mancala
85: Anti Brain War Would that be interesting?
10 more?

BIG BAD WOLF: Someone mentioned a while ago to have a separate board for new game requests. That sounds good to me, as it would (perhaps....) eliminate duplicate and triplicate requests, and we could also see (perhaps...) where on the list our requests are, if they are on the list at all, like Boggle......

BIG BAD WOLF: Bookmarked.

Fencer: Lets see here.... 250 new games:

1. 6 dice version of Dice Poker
2. 6 dice version of Triple Dice Poker (Ultimate Dice Poker)
3. Bankroll version of Dice Poker (26 rolls for the game - use as many or as little per turn - for total of 26 in game)
4. Bankroll version of Triple Dice Poker
5. Dark Ataxx
6. Dominoes
7-12. Pick some domino variants
13. Dark Battleboats Plus - You start with 5 shots each, but you lose 1 for each of your ships that are sunk. Not only do you not see which ships you sunk, you DO NOT see your own board either! (This is to solve the problem of seeing your opponent shooting 4 shots and hence knowing you sunk a ship that way)
14. Hex Battleboats Plus (play on a hex type board)
15. Hex Dark Battleboats
16. Rifle/Shoot Chess
17. Chessky
18. Dark Crazy Screen Chess
19-50. 3+ player games. Imagine Frog Finder with 4 players & slightly larger board!
51. Frog Finder w/ lily pads decoys. Add 2 decoys for each player that will act like a frog, but won't count against if "guessed". If guessed, it will not give nor take away any points - just be reviled as a decoy in the game.
52. (like ponds) - BrainWar - for 5-15 players. Each player starts out with 13 cards of 1 suit (2-Ace). You pick which card to play each round (13 rounds per game). You goal is to place the highest unique card. Winner gets all played cards. At end, add up value of cards - highest amount wins. (So for example 3 players - player 1 plays an Ace, player 2 plays an Ace, player 3 plays a 9 - player 3 wins because it is the highest UNIQUE card of the hand - and gains 14+14+9 points) Plus other rules with I won't list here.
53. (like ponds) - Dark BrainWar for 5-15 players (same as above but Other players DO NOT see what cards each player has left, and does not see current score (other then their own) – You can see what cards were played – but you don’t know who played what.)
54. (like ponds) - High/Low Cards vs. dealer. (for 5-unlimited) - each person is dealt a card, where they have to guess if their card will be higher or lower then the dealers card. If correct, stay until next round - if not, eliminated.
55. Scrabble like word game
56-75. Card Games! What type of game is missing from most of the turn based game sites? Card Games.

OK, there is my first 75 of 250 games. Fencer, get to work.

joshi tm: That would be great.

Fencer: What's the May Action? 250 new games at the beginning of June? :):)

Chaosu: And BrainKing has 3 times more entries to translate.

Rose: It said at the bottom of my post I had it sorted

Gordon Shumway: Right, I counted links at bottom of main page but not all translations are finished: http://www.kurnik.org/translation/

Vendolas: We've got a special tournament board http://brainking.nl/nl/Board?bc=22

Chaosu: There are only 26 in the dropdown list ;)

Kurnik.org have just two different domains but it's translated into 33 languages I think : )

heavenlyemma: Global mods have nothing to do with Private fellowships, as in no control and cant interfere. It is a mute point if you are no longer in the FS anyway, you cant mod what you aren't in.

BIG BAD WOLF: That´s what I thought, thanks

solan109: They have to be a member of the fellowship to play.

You can also make a regular tournament invite-only and invite anyone to those if you wanted.

Can I invite players to my fellowship tournaments even though they are not members of the fellowship? or do they have to members of the fellowship to play?

do i leave the tick in the box or take it out??...i just cant get it right!..
i did it once but cant do it now

BURDUFG: You are welcome :).

And yes, better not play rated no-time games with unknown players.

TarantinoFan: The no time limit option is useful to play with a friend that you trust not to hold the game forever. If playing with someone unknown to you, better make it unrated.

TarantinoFan: Please, don't be paranoid. And don't play games with no time limit and accept that there are people who want to use it.

Fencer: The only reason I can see for it to be there is to frustrate people into resigning so you can falsely raise your own BKR.

Make it never ending, make a few moves and then stop altogether so the other person gets frustrated at having it in their list and resigns. You get a free BKR boost without having played a decent fair game!

TarantinoFan: It doesn't mean it's silly and unnecessary for eveyrone else. Nobody is expected to understand everything.

BURDUFG: You won't be accepting a never ending game anytime soon will you? LOL.

I don't even know why the never ends option is available. Seems silly and unnecessary to me.

joshi tm: Thank you very much, I'm so relieved! It's been bothering me for almost 3 months now!

Quote from the FAQ:

Although I had finished a game, my BKR did not change! Is that an error?

No, this is not an error. There are several situations which can be a reason of that:

* Both players did not perform at least two moves. It can happen when one player loses the game by a timeout at the very beginning.

I 'm very sure.

Edit:

Also, Paying members can delete games that have just 2 moves played.

joshi tm: Thank you, but are you sure? it says there that i'll lose 61 points if i resign. i'm not the one who posted the game, i only selected it from the waiting games list. it is his move (the first move).

BURDUFG: Since there is no move made, just resign. You'll lose the game, but no BKR points. You will lose BKR after the second move played, and then resign.

hi, a have a game of chess from my early days here, made by me with no expiration, and the user that accepted the invitation never made a move and disappeared. is there a way to cancel the game, without losing a lot of points?

I'm a mod in a couple of f/s and was just wondering if anyone knew why there were options for pawns? I didn't think pawns could join f/s anyway and as soon as a memebership runs out and they revert to a pawn they are unable to post? I thought they were only left as members of f/s for when they renew their paid membership?

Fencer: Thankyou

Fencer: Ho Hum, ok i will do, just trying to save time
I will send you it after i have saved it back from you, just so i can send it back, so you can save something you already have LOL

Note: Feature Request

alanback: So do i BUT i dont understand why.
If i go to that picture in my profile collection and right click, thats its URL as Fencer already has it.
Seems totaly crazy if i have to send it to him again, a waste of my time & his valuable time

MadMonkey: You cannot submit an URL from our own server. The system expects the file to be on a different site, of course.
If you want to use this image, download it to your computer, then upload it to your profile.

MadMonkey:  When I click on that link, I get "invalid request"

Fencer: http://brainking.com/images/icons/501-1000/812-1161579891000.jpg

Its one you already have, thats why i did not think it would be a problem
I dont have it anymore, but i can save it back to disk & re-send it back to you if i have to , just seems a waste of time as you already have it, you would be approving one already approved lol

MadMonkey: What URL are you using?

Fencer, i have tried again by submitting the URL and i guess you are not getting it as it has not changed
Can you tell me what i am doing wrong please.

BerniceC: I have changed mine lots of times by submitting a picture and never had a problem, BUT this is the first time i have tried by URL

MadMonkey: I changed mine yesterday and within 5 minutes (Fencer was online) it was OK'd.

I was surprised at the speed with which it happened,, but was thankful I had done the request correctly LOLOL

Fencer: What have i done wrong then ?

MadMonkey: Of course it is working. I approve more than 10 icon changes every day.
