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.
Here's a perfect example in Hypergammon of the BG bug. In this position as black I rolled 5-1 and could have moved 12-7 to great advantage (being not able to play the 1). Since this is against the rules I didn't play it that way. Since Backgammon is by far the most popular game, I would think this should be one of the listed priorities.
Fencer, i don't want to name names since it seems like it might be a system error. Any chance you could check into this? I'd kind of like to know how I do in these games before the apocolypse.
While we're on the topic, do we really need 30 days per year? I wish I had 30 days where I couldn't get to a computer, lol. In reality I doubt I use more than 10.
Actually come to think of it I have an opponent who hasn't moved in over a month. That would surely mean at least 20 days of autovacation, yet he still has 21 days left.
rabbitoid: That would happen at the beginning of a new year. Unless you're talking about days left before next move, in which case the extra 20 days is probably a planned vacation.
pauloaguia: No problem. You get a pass coming from a non-english country. If i see another american spell it that way I'm going to have to call the police.
Once again I have opponents timeout and get autovacation while they are online!!!! Autovacation should not be intended to protect players who can't keep up because the started too many games, only players who cannot log in for some reason.
My feature request is: Autovacation only kicks in for players who have not been online for at least the last 24 hours.
Emne: Re: I'll try again each time until I at least get a response...
Summertop: There's no such thing as timeout, if you don't move you get last turn's move.
Problem is that in the first run there is a pawn bidding 10 each turn. Therefore 90% of players just bid 11. Each turn someone bids 0 in an effort to drop out of the game, which prolongs the agony. If we didn't have the perpetual 10 bid it would be more interesting (even though the zeros would still usually mess us up).
Daniel Snyder: But you appear not to have played any games!!! I have played 250 and have a reasonable rating. I can guarantee that white has an advantage very early in the game. Black is on the defensive from move 1.
It may not be enough to force a win, but it is much easier to make a mistake as black.
Atomic Chess has the slight drawback that white gains an early advantage due to how quickly the king can be attacked. I propose an 8x10 board, 8 wide as normal, with normal pieces, but 10 deep. This should make for a more circumspect game.
reza: So apparently any idiot can see 7 moves ahead? I think he was being arrogant. A computer is a computer, the agreement says computers, not "computers that are better than Ed Trice"
AbigailII: Good point, if there's no need for the data don't provide it.
Here's what I do with the info: If I see someone playing a game against me, I'll link to that game (especially if it's a chess variation) and refamiliarize myself and start thinking about my next move.
BBW: You're n ot moving quickly because you're playing 800+ games. I was actually wondering why I kept seeing you online yet no moves were forthcoming. Notice I didn't harass you about it though
BIG BAD WOLF: I don't understand, all other players can see is what you are doing on THIS site. What could you possibly be doing that is such a secret? Who the hell cares if someone knows you are browsing a message board or playing a particular game? Maybe I am missing something but this sounds like paranoia to me.
i think you'd have to give the second player a turn if he is destroyed. If (s)he destroys the enemy it's a tie. Thus taking away the first turn advantage.
How about a feature where we could play several moves at once if our opponent has no move available, until one does become available? We could call it Automove, or SensibleCheckingOfPlayersAbilityToMove!
Sumerian: I believe the programming to be about the same more or less. Better to get the answer correct.
EdTrice: Your solution won't calculate winners in all situations either. Sometimes a winner can be determined even though other players could tie them, because of S-B scores.
I agree, AND i don't think it's all that difficult to program, maybe time consuming though. I think it's more important than Ladders or Unicode support.
I just noticed that i need to enable Javascript in the settings!! I would expect that to be the default setting, and you can choose to disable (why you would I don't know)
