AbigailII: Why?

Fencer: I agree with AbigailII here. For example I play a game where my side of the table is on the right, i then finish that game and move to the next game of dice poker, i automically look to the side i was on the previous go and roll the dice for that side. I then realise i have got a really bad score due to the fact i've been rolling for my opponents table side.

It would just make things a little more convenient thats all.

furbster: I don't agree.

Fencer: I agree with Furbster - this is a new relatively new game, and I have already made that mistake twice!

pgt: I still don't agree.

Fencer: Ok then. I'll buy you a beer next time I'm in Prague. Will that sway you?

furbster:

I concur, but would also like my dice on top, not on the bottom as I have to scrool all the way down just to see them.  

Fencer: Because it's less confusing. With the table as it is, and the dice under the table, I can't see the dice and the names above the table. If my score was always displayed on the right (or always on the left), I can easier see what my score is (because it's always on the same side).

Let me ask you this, what's the advantage of half of your games having your score on the right, and half of the games having your score on the left?

AbigailII: I like it, that's the advantage. And I don't want to change it, that's the reason.

Fencer: do you like having your pieces sometimes displayed on the top side of the board and sometimes displayed on the bottom side of the board when you play chess?

Fencer: and when your "i run the site - i don't have to be reasonable!" attitude goes too far for my tastes, i can sell my black rook membership to someone else, right?

plaintiger, furbster and anyone: else who wants it to show a difference, talk to hexkid and join his Fellowship then you could have a Dice Poker game like this (or any colour/shade you wish)

MadMonkey: sounds good, as far as it goes...but then what about all my dice poker games outside the fellowship? will i be able to modify those too?

plaintiger: hexkids grease monkey script is not limited only to games within the fellowship. He just does not advertise were to get the script to anyone outside the fellowship

plaintiger: Is that a joke? I hope so, because:

• I don't like threats and it sounds like one.
• Memberships are not refundable, you know that.
• When you purchased it, there was no dice poker at all, so you cannot use it as a reason of your attitude.
• The table of points highlights your available cells with a black border, so it's impossible not to recognize which columns are yours.
• If it is really important for some people, I can make the borders pink or with a flashing red arrow poiting to them. But it would be a waste of my time, more like.

Back to the serious work.

Fencer:

If it is really important for some people, I can make the borders pink or with a flashing red arrow poiting to them.

Sometimes the distinction between the borders seem to blur on my computer and it does seem to mix up at times.  I know that this is not occurring on your end and is not really your fault, but if you could highlight it with a different color,  it would greatly be appreciated.

Fencer: it wasn't a joke - it was an honest inquiry. regarding your bullet points:

• no need to construe it as a threat unless the thought of me leaving the site is threatening to you (and i don't know why it would be)

• i know memberships are not refundable - that's why i asked if i have the option of transferring my membership to someone else. do i?

• perhaps it's because i'm using Safari, but i see no black border nor any other highlighting of any kind around any cells on any dice poker form

• i think just shading the opponent's cells in gray would do, or implementing some other Safari-friendly highlighting system, so everyone can see the highlighting. i've tried Firefox, which is more widely compatible, but it's slow and as ugly and poorly designed as all the other Mozilla-based browsers. i'd rather not have to use a browser i don't like in order to make use of all of brainking's features. but i understand that i'm surely in a minority on this point (at least insofar as i'm a Safari user), so the "tough luck" response would be a little more understandable in this case...

plaintiger: Give someone your password, and they can take over your account...

Czuch Czuckers: User Agreement: General Guidelines, Paragraph 2: "You are NOT allowed to let other people use your account."

Pedro Martínez: If you gave it to them, it wouldnt be "your account" anymore!

Czuch Czuckers: Oh yes, it would.

Pedro Martínez: If I give you something, it is still mine?

Czuch Czuckers: If you "give" me your account, it won't become mine because you're not allowed to do so in the first place.

Pedro Martínez: The user agreement says "use" it doesnt prohibit giving it away, or even selling it to someone, as long as only one person is using it, the user agreement hasnt been broken!

Czuch Czuckers: That is correct, provided the person to whom the account was sold is not using it.

Czuch Czuckers: thank you, Czuch. your interpretation seems the correct one to me. the point is that there must be only one user of a given account. i don't think permanent transfer of an account from one user to another would void that stipulation in the mind of any sane person. of course, Fencer would have the last word on this. we'll see what he says.

plaintiger: Should create a new user though, or ratings should be reset.

plaintiger: Still life time membership means until you die(or are incapable of taking advantage of the membership). It is tied to you and you can't give or sell it to anyone.

mctrivia: is this fact, or your opinion?

i'm not interested in anyone's opinion on this matter; i'm interested only in the facts. thanks...

and you know, i think my query is for this board anyways. i'll take it to another board.

plaintiger: It's not an opinion but a matter of logic. A lifetime contract is always personal - otherwise it would be a as-long-as-humans-exist-contract, because you could easily give it away to your descendants before you die and so on. Lifetime is always personal!

Gordon Shumway: Its not a lifetime contract, the contract says "FOREVER", that is in fact much longer than ones own lifetime!(as a matter of logic!)

mctrivia: morbid thought

Fencer: but isn't it the same way in backgammon , chess, ludo, and etc.  that the starting postion of the pieces are the same?  Wouldn't this be consistent with the rest of the games?

AbigailII: How about adding a colour to the side of the board of the persons who go it is, or shading the opponents side, would that be better ?

and i still think there should be a bonus in Dice poker, coz thats the rules of the normal game

Fencer: LOL, like that answer

MadMonkey: It doesn't matter. Fencer likes it the way it is and isn't going to change it. Oh well.

AbigailII: He said the same thing about auto pass as well ;)

MadMonkey: Something like this screenshot? :)

hexkid: On the ball as normal hex, great stuff.

I think maybe hatching/shading the opponents side out would be better, but so you can till see there scores

Just add to your Greasemonkey script

hexkid: Ooh my mum seems all famous now lol
