Do you miss something on BrainKing.com and would you like to see it here? Post your request into this board! If there is a more specific board for the request, (i.e. game rule changes etc) then it should be posted and discussed on that specific board.
For example, like grenv said - You may make 100 moves a day, but if you have 200 games, that is not a lot. Then again, you may only make 5 moves per day - and if you only have 5 games, well then that is a lot. But the stats would not show it that way.
Time taken to make a move - that could easly be thrown off also. Lets say I come, move in all my games every day at 12:00. Lets say 90% of my opponenets make their moves at 12:01. Well then it may look like I take a lot of time to move.
I think beter suggestion would be to get a vacation system up that will automaticly put you on vacation if you are about to time out. (Limit a week of automatic vacation at a time). That way, for when Rogue or others put extra days as "just in case time - but not really want to move in that time frame", then they could start playing games at the time frame that they want, plus still have the security there for "unforseen circumstances".
Trying to come up with a system to figure out how fast/slow a player plays would never be accurate, and too much trouble to mess with... in my opinion! :-)
If a player makes 100 moves per day in a particular game when its their turn to move in 200 games, they average 1 move per game, per game type, every 2 days. The player with 5 moves in 5 games averages 1 move per day. That tells me something. Especially if they are playing at a rate of "days per move" rather than "moves per day"!
Why couldn't it be done in percentages? Ie BBW plays 20 % of his backgammon games on a daily basis on average, or IMupChucKing plays 98% of his checkers games per day on average.
When I play on line poker, there are often several hundred tables playing from which to choose. Before I decide which table to join, I can see the calculated average delay between plays on any given table. This helps indicate what kind of players are at a particular table. If I want to play more expert players, I will choose a table that has a low time per move average, meaning that the players are paying more attention and less likely lally gagging.
All we are saying is some sort of system to help determine like minded players as yourself, would be helpful, and save much aggrivation.
I sense that you are against that, BBW, because of your anti spying stance?
