I miss Slam's sense of humor too. But, if Fencer re-instates him earlier than he planned, I think it takes away the "deterrent" (sp?, lol) effect. Sort of like putting a child on restrictions, then not following through on it.
Is it just me, or is anyone else noticing that moves are not being highlighted right now? For example, when I make a move in Halma, the path of the piece I move isn't being highlighted. My opponent's move isn't highlighted either.
Pedro, It is very inappropriate that you post that here! A complaint like that should be sent to Fencer, personally, rather than here where anyone any age can read it.
However, I have to agree that perhaps a limit is needed.. It seems unreasonable for a tournament to be held up for potentially 30 days.. It seems as though a maximum of 2 or 3 days added through auto-vacation, per occurance, would be a good compromise...
It could have been automatic vacation, but it could also been as Stevie described. When the time was turned back on, some of my games were scheduled to time out on my weekend days (which in this case is monday and tuesday). Fencer mentioned that some of the times were not synchronized yet. So I am assuming that for cases like this, he programmed it so that this would not happen.
Ahh.... too bad that method will be used to show pictures bigger... :-( ... Most of the small pictures are difficult to see well, on a television. And webtv can't use this "hot spot" method..
Oh well! :-)
Of course discussing politics belongs elsewhere. But she was suggesting it was unethical to have a picture that might possibly describe your political views, on this board. And of course that is not unethical.
Trying to cause trouble, in my opinion..
I doubt it was ever intended to be a form of official identification. It is JUST the ability to put some sort of picture next to your name. Be it your own picture, or something that describes your personality in some way, or whatever else someone chooses. Nothing to do with ethics...
Lighten up.
Daniel, you mean games sorted by the name of the game? Then just click on "Game" at the top of the column where the games are listed. They will then be listed alphabetically by game name. If you click "Game" again, they will be listed in the reverse order.
Scooter. What do you mean?
That game is Spider Linetris. When an edge is filled up, it disappears. You can either click on the list of moves, lower down to see this, or use the backward arrows to go back moves and see it.
Not necesarilly. Even if I had a computer, I would still surf the web with my WebTV. I do not want to be stuck sitting at a desk while I'm playing my games. I prefer sitting on my couch with the webtv remote control..
Of course, a lap top would solve that! :-D
The numbers on the espionage pieces are impossible for us to see on webtv (or i should say MOST of us probably)... the sizes are a little different, but not enough to easilly tell them apart..
I was looking forward to playing it!
Not being able to see some of the smaller, more detailed pieces very clearly (the frogs, and the espionage pieces) is not really related to webtv itself, but the fact that a television screen has a much lower resolution than a computer monitor.
At least froglet is still playable. I find Espionage to be completely unplayable on a TV. :-(
plantiger, a few people now have golden rooks... See the "Paid Membership" page for details.. I think they have been around about a week, or maybe 2... Last I checked, 6 people had them..
Ahh.. I see where the "hot spot" is. Now that I changed Settings, there is a blank space between "Main Page" and "New Game" in the menu.
I can confirm that indeed, it does NOT work for WebTV... :-D (For the reasons stated in the previous post)
Doesn't sound like something I'll miss too much anyways, though.
Can someone describe exactly what you see?.. I'm just curious... I can't check in to Brainking from the computers at work anymore..
JavaSCRIPT works with webtv. But as IMupChucKing stated, there has to be at least a link for us to move our "cursor" over it.
An example would be, that I believe if PC users put their cursor over a flag, it says what country it is? (I know it's something like that.. I could be wrong about exactly what it is.) But since the flags are not "clickable", we can't place our "cursor" over it, and get that information. So whatever it is you guys are talking about, I'm sure it most likely won't work with WebTV
I could be wrong, but I don't think it's a hint.. I think he is saying that he didn't say Froglet would surpass backgammon by next week. Perhaps further down the road..
I took it as a hint at first as well! I thought maybe a smaller board would be coming.. (I agree that the 12x12 might be too big)
