Any word on the go to next tournament game?

I would love to have this option, which allows tournies in general to get over a little quicker if people use it. I play my tourney games prior to regular games, and would love this option to quickly get to the next one without looking for the star in the drop down box...

We have:

go to the tournament
go to the next game of this tournament
go to the next team match game

yet we are missing the general go to the next tournament game.

Is this a possibility?

Thanks!!!

Phil (rednaz23)

rednaz23: Hek?
On the other hand, it should be easy to do.

Sign New! in Tournaments list (like in Discoussion Boards).
It is possible?

aaru: Good one.

aaru: That is an excellent request! We do it for all of the discussion boards! It should not be difficult at all to implement for tourneys.

Fencer?

rednaz23: The most tournaments would be displayed with New! until they expire because people usually don't visit tournaments they are not interested in.

Fencer: I think it would be a good idea to stick a red "New" next to new tournaments for let say the first 24 hours after it is created. That way if you do visit the tournaments list at least once a day, you can easily see which tournaments are newly created.

Under a player's profile, I would like to see his former user names. I think that it is a bit too easy to change one's identity anyway, but at least this way the information would still be accessible.

nabla: Absolutely. VERY good point, nabla.

BIG BAD WOLF: I have a better idea.

Fencer: New filter - good

The taken peices ("in the hand") in shogi should be displayed beside the board instead of way below. And preferably the same size as the beoard.
It is difficuly to get a good overview of the situation now.

On our main page we have a drop down list of all the game types we are currently playing and another of our current opponents. Could it be possible to show in the drop down lists a number next to each so we will know how many of each game type we have? or how many games with an opponent?

i request that even if you create a tournament but dont take part in it that your allowed to take part in the discussion of that tournament board

Fencer: I haven't seen a light bulb in a quite a few days.
So, I'd like to see a light bulb! (preferably red of course, lol)
I would like to upgrade my membership.
(My previous membership expired on the 13th and I have been looking since before that.) Of course I had to be away during the "egg" icon. :>(
Thanks in advance.

Mighty Orion: The bulb does not appear on a request. But it is on at least twice a day. You must be patient and catch the right moment.

Fencer: what is meant by "light bulbs"?

SafariGal: The light bulb appears next to your icon, when it flashes click on it and it will take you to the paid membership page, where, if you buy or upgrade membership the colour code for that moment is your bonus.

Oceans Apart: thanks, that is an interesting feature

SafariGal: Just for this month only i think, so fill ya boots lol

Oceans Apart: I just got Cyan which says 75% bonus. I assume that means if I pay for a year I get 1 year and 9 months membership?

SafariGal: Correct - as long as you click and start the process while that bulb is out - and pay within 2 days i believe.

Fencer: What do you mean that you don't honor light bulb requests?
I just logged back on and low and behold there is a light bulb! Thanks very much!
I'm satisfied with the cyan color! It'll due. lol
Apparently I just missed a red one as I received a message from Rose about 10 minutes late.
Don't worry, I won't tell anyone what you did!
What a guy!

Rose:LOL you beat  me too  it lol

Reminder: This is the Feature Requests Discussion Board...



Back on topic please!

I think it would be interesting to implement a game mode along these lines:

- One (or both) players would actually be a group of players (I'm calling it group player).
- On GroupPlayer's turn, each of the players that make that group sees the game in their "Games on your turn" list and make a move, as usual.
- However, the move is not actually made. Instead, it counts as a vote in that particular move.
BrainKing waits for all the players in the group to vote (or until timeout).
- When this happens the move for the group is then obtained from the one that had the most votes. If more than a move gets the same number of votes, the BKR of the players that voted for it is considered and the one with the highest sum of BKR is selected.
- The game would have a discussion board accessible only to the group's members, where they could exchange tactics for the next move, for instance. In a game with two groups against each other, there would be two such boards, naturally.
- These games could also have public invitations - the invitation is open for a certain time (like tournaments) and people just join (either) group. When time is reached the game starts.

I know this would be some hard work to implement. But I think this would be interesting in some situations:
- teams could really play against each other, as a team. Right now, teams matches are just a bunch of individual games, where you don't even get to play against all the members in the other team. It would allow for different sized teams to challenge each other too
- (top) players could challenge a "collective mind", supposedly harder to beat. Imagine a "Player against the rest of BrainKing" kind of game.

Anyway, it's just a thought...

pauloaguia: That is a nice idea, I like it. Such poll games use to be very popular, and I know that at least the french-speaking community has already organized one here, using a fellowship discussion board.
It unfortunately seems to be a lot of work to program, however it would probably generate a lot of activity in return, when people will argue about what the best move is or was ; a discussion board attached to the game would probably be called for.
One must realize that one never manages to get all players voting, so that such games are playable only with a fast time control (one day, and if you were away you just missed one vote), or with a fixed percentage of votes needed for the move to be triggered.

Fencer: SUPER!!
& the same in PONDS pls??

It is great to have this game here, but would a version of the board with numbers instead of coloured spots be possible ? The board reads very bad for partially colour-blind people like me.

By the way, for the same reason a version of Scrambled Eggs with the Lines of Action piece set would be helpful !

nabla:
Stones are a little small to see, but U can mouse over the pits and it will show U how many are in each pit.  (hope this helps U)  

Can U please add this awesome game to the stairs please?

I think when new games are added to the site they should be automatically selected in the Game Filter and then if you don't want them you have to go and turn it off yourself. I think most people on here like to try the new games when they are added just to see what they are like so if they were turned on straight away it would be a lot less mucking about!

Infidel: Sure. I always forgot.

Infidel: Yes it helps, thanks, although it would still be better with numbers in the holes. Just a question of comfort, it is playable that way but not a nice playing feeling.

nabla: Not just for color-blind people. While (for a non color-blind person like me) it's easy to see the difference between one, two or three beads, it gets progressively harder. When it exceeds five, I have to carefully count. And when there are more than 16 beads in one hole, you just get an image of 16 beads.

aaru: And the play later would be welcome too

When looking at a Finished games statistics page, if you don´t have enough games finished, your name will not appear in that list. It would be nice when your score is visible, as on the avarage BKR and total BKR Statistic page.

joshi tm: That page should show you even if you have finished only 1 game.

Fencer: I cannot see my total number of finished games here

joshi tm: Then you probably didn't make it to the top 50 chart.

Fencer: Jup, But when your not in the chart at page 1, you see still your results.

joshi tm: Ah, I understand now. Well, we can make it the Feature Of The Day (when I implement it).

I know there was some talk earlier about improving the Brains system.  However, for the most part, I like how it is know, but would like to make a small suggestion.  The problem with the brain system right now is that not enough people have them to have many brain tournaments.  My suggestion would be to have a special January action where Fencer set up a tournament for all games with each winner being declared BrainKing Champion for that game and receiving a prize such as 50 brains as well.  I think perhaps that the restriction on tournaments for pawns could be lifted for this special tournament.
