件名: "move and stay here" for battleboats variants only
first a small rant: i personally don't see the usefulness of the "play next game of battleboats plus" link - why would it matter whether the next game you move on is battleboats plus or not? it's not like playing a different type of game between two battleboats moves can break your concentration - battleboats doesn't involve concentration! i understand that the feature was implemented because people asked for it - i just don't understand why they asked for it.
:: end rant ::
now then: what i think would be a *real* improvement would be the ability to set "move and stay here" as the default action for battleboats variants only. that would save me having to manually choose "stay here" from the popup menu after every battleboats plus move while allowing me to keep the default for all my other game types as "move and go to next game."

plaintiger: I play backgammon and chess variants. I like to play one or the other sometimes, so i'll run through all the backgammon games and leave the chess until I have time to think about them.
grenv: ah, okay. thank you. it still seems an obscure thing to me, but i'm glad it got implemented for those who value it.
nabla and pauloaguia: thank you. the more games it applies to the more practical the feature will be.
anyone: are there still other games where a player might want to see the results of their moves but can only do so after the move has been submitted? Atomic chess shows the results of the move before the "move" button is hit, right?

grenv:Well, when there are more than one piece that can move to a certain square, and you choose that square, you cannot see the result unless your opponent has made a move!

King Reza: grenv is right, Ambiguous Chess (Atomic Chess too) is a perfect information game, you get no extra information after playing your move, you have to wait for your opponent's move to get this information... exactly like in standard chess ! For all these games there is no special interest in selecting "move and stay here".
grenv:Oh sorry. My mistake. The question meant immidiate showing of the result after a player moves. In Ambiguous Chess the result is not shown immidiately. I somehow understood the question incorrectly. Thought it meant the result is shown after a player moves, no matter 'how long after!'

plaintiger: Yes, I like your request, it seems logical for all games where you may get an info after you moved, so also for Dark Chess (are there others?).

Fencer: What about an option to select which options we want to show in the option box? It's getting cluttered and at this rate will become useless in a month or two :)
I like the stay-here-if-I-hit-a-boat option (or if I reveal an opponents piece in Espionage or a new chess piece in Dark Chess)

Fencer: hmm, yeah, i think that would work...though i might like to see the board again even if i didn't hit a boat, just so i could plan my next move.
