Had to ask

The problem is that no board can be continuously moderated [24 hours a day] by only one person. It will be solved in BK 2.0 which supports unlimited number of co-moderators and other new board features that will make pawns allowed to post again.

The Stories DB is awful empty. What if we converted it into a place for Pawns and Members alike to go and post jokes, chat, and voice opinions? The Moderator would make sure that all peeps who post will follow the regulations.
Maybe it could be called the "Freedom Board"?

If people had a place to go and have fun I think there'd be more people who'd wanna play here and maybe pay here.

Just a thought, what do you think?

Subiectul: Live-games
The idea to play "livegames" with we say 60 minutes for the whole game,would be a good supplement to our turnbased-games here.
One possibility to play live on the internet (without a server) could be a small freeware from Germany called MAX (Misc./download).Until yet you can play with MAX live chess,janus,checkers,reversi,go and the author wants to add other games.
Are there planned by Fencer other possibilities to play live here in Bk?

Subiectul: Transcendent chess
Transcendent chess is a strong variant to add to the chess arsenal. A precursor to FischerRandom chess, both backfiles are shuffled, and are separate from one another. It may require some tweaking, as it has an option to transpose 2 pieces as the first move, instead of castling. There is no castling in TC. Also they are played in pairs, with the same position, and players take opposite colors.

There is an Auction TC where you can bid to see who goes first, and you can offer up a certain number of moves if you are feeling certain you can win with a particular position.

I see the list of games above, but I wanted to throw that one in.

Also, I would like to see Alice Chess (posted at Chess Variants: Alice Chess) and consists of 2 boards side by side. Pieces powers are as in "normal" chess, except that when they move, they disappear from one board and appear in the same square on the adjacent board. Moves must be legal on the "exit" board, and then the piece moves to the "enter" board, back and forth on each turn. Mate becomes harder to see, and plans take an odd turn. Interesting to see a CC version of this; I am not sure how much of a challenge programming would be.

I thought I would ask.

in BK 2.0 is there going to be a feature where you can save messages in a seperate folder rather than have them in your in box all the time as i have some messages i want to keep but occassionally delete them by mistake.

I don't think that is enough because it's very easy, with alittle html, to make any tournament bold. look at the tournament page and find THIS IS A TEST. it's in bold, but i'm not offering a prize. I think the prize tournaments jsut need more pop lol.

4. Aprilie 2004, 04:09:42
grenv 
i'm sure most people look at the list of tournaments to see what to enter. Following random links is a little hit and miss.

4. Aprilie 2004, 04:00:37
Lythande 
I just think the non-prize tournaments deserve a chance to get players, too. It was mentioned that only the prize tournaments be circulated.. I don't think that's fair. I certainly would not want to see only the prize tournaments be displayed in the random links bit (where a tournament will show up above your games) since I would guess most people find tournaments to join through those links.

I'm not saying prize tournies should not get a little something extra (like the bold highlighting they have now), I just don't think non-prize tournies should get short-ended in the process.

well there's not many prize tournaments and 99.9% of them are donating memberships which help support the site, so why shouldn't they be given more glitz??? If I'm spending my money, that I don't even have to, to help out the site, why shouldn't the site give something back?

3. Aprilie 2004, 08:19:54
Lythande 
I don't think we should go too far overboard in weighting the prize tourney ads over the non-prize ones... The non-prize jobs will soon be either a thing of the past or wasted effort. :/

Maybe those listed tournaments could be listed using a different color without changing the page listings as they now exist.....just a thought.

I believe with the new version of BK, Fencer is planning on "orginizing" the tournament page.

I'm not sure exactly how it will be orginized, but hopefully it will include a way to "show off" the prize tournaments a little more.

2. Aprilie 2004, 06:56:38

I would like to see prize tournaments posted in a different way. Like mabye keep them at the top of the page. Or have only the prize tournaments cycle on the main page instead of all the tournaments.

31. Martie 2004, 04:40:13

I too would like to see ties broken in tournaments until there is a winner. Maybe put a limit to the amount of times the "tiebreaker" can be played. When it reaches that limit, then it is declared a tie at that point.

Subiectul: Re: A low priority request.
Stinger, it has been requested before (by me LOL). I am thinking, i guess the same as you. When people see how many move others are making, it puts it in there mind to play faster & play more game, therefore spending more time here :o)

31. Martie 2004, 01:34:37
Lythande 
I suspect the 'draw offer' being at the bottom has to do with the setting of 'put gameboard at top of page' for each player (I would imagine most have it set on). A compromise might be to include among the 'move and...' buttons one at the cluster's top, saying, 'cancel move and accept offer of draw'.

31. Martie 2004, 00:27:23

Subiectul: Re: draw offers
I believe a drawoffer appears in your messagebox, where you can decline or accept.

Subiectul: Re: draw offers
I agree. Many times my opp has asked me "why not?" and I reply "why not what?" and he says "accept the draw?" and I say "what draw?" etc.. :)

Subiectul: draw offers
This may have been discussed here before. Right now if someone offers you a draw the only way you know it is to scroll down past the game board before making your move. If your not expecting a draw offer there is no reason to scroll down before moving. Once you have moved the offer dissapears. Could the draw offer appear on top of the game board so you can't miss is.

Subiectul: A low priority request.
Not sure if this has been requested before, but I'm wondering if it's not too difficult to implement if we could have "number of moves made so far today" added beside our name. Since the system keeps track of the number of moves anyway, would it be hard to do?

30. Martie 2004, 16:12:37
grenv 
A set number of games is better. It would need to be an even number to avoid that problem. If the score is tied an extra 2 are played until someone wins.

I wouldn't be worried about the tournament length, some of these tournaments seem endless as it is!

30. Martie 2004, 14:40:36
harley 
I didn't think of that, I rarely play games where one colour has a greater advantage. Good point.

30. Martie 2004, 14:06:04
Jason 
points matches are not always fair , take five in line and a 3 point matches (which is what happens now) , with winners from two sections .the first prson to move (white) will almost always get the three points before black does . this is why we would be better if we had pro version . it would work for some of the games though .

30. Martie 2004, 12:00:00
harley 
Or have a points match for the final round. First one to 3 (or 5) points is the winner. Play like that until there are just 2 players thrashing it out for the overall winners position.

30. Martie 2004, 09:36:58
Fencer 
But it's a good topic to think about.

30. Martie 2004, 09:35:50
Lythande 
I could live with that.

30. Martie 2004, 09:21:51
kitti 
I would also like to see tournaments played until there is only one winner. But of course there should be some exceptions to avoid endless tournaments. Like a maximum of two rounds with the same players. For example: a,b and c have made it to final round, if they end up in a threeway tie another round is started. If they all end up tied again on that round, they'll be cowinners of the tourney. But if a&b beat c and tie each other then a and b would advance to next round.

30. Martie 2004, 09:18:28
Fencer 
Imagine a situation with three winners of the last round. They will form a new section and all of them will have the same number of points. They are all winners again, so the next round is created, exactly the same as before. And it can repeat again and again with no result.

30. Martie 2004, 09:12:40
Lythande 
So make it a three-win match or somesuch.

30. Martie 2004, 08:36:56
Fencer 
Lythande: It could lead to an endless tournament.

How about turning the "Brains" into more of a game itself.

For example - How about a reward of 1 brain for each tournament game win, and also give brains as reward for winning a tournament (more brains for bigger tournaments). Or also when you have site tournaments offer extra brains to the winners.

Then instead of having brains buy memberships - have a whole "store" of things that can be bought for brains. (And when I say "store", mostly fun things that will not cost BK anything)

For example, some of the things that could be in the store: (Again, just examples - and example amounts)

10 Brains - You can make a post in a different color

10 brains - the background of a post can be in a different color

20 brains - lets you do both background & font different colors

50 brains - You can turn in for an extra vacation day

100 brains - You can turn in to get an APPROVED picture added to your profile

200 brains - you can get your rook membership expanded by 1 month (2 month Knight)

1000 brains - Let you post an APPROVED message to system news to stay for everyone to read for 2 days.

etc... etc...

The only down side would be that some people who be more prone to cheat to get more "brains" - but would be a cool extra feature.

Also - for Paid Members only - giving pawns another reason to join!

"Maybe, If you are on vacation, and therefore cannot be timed out of any games, then neither should your opponents be timed out in your games while you are on vacation either?" -- Upchuck, an excellent suggestion!

Subiectul: Re: Vacation days
If I go on vacation, I don't stop breathing. I'll likely be a bit busier with other things, might have a chance to pop in and make a few moves here and there, but mostly I'll be afk. I might even pop in and play one person, just to give them a shout (game message) about something. You seem to be saying 'vacation' equates to self-induced ban for XX days.

There are only so many vacation days -- use them unwisely, they're gone when you need them. Playing a light load while on vacation should not be a crime.

29. Martie 2004, 10:30:32

Along the lines of bwild's post below, I like to play my games starting with the one that is due to time-out first and play them in that order. Is there a way to do that witout having t go back to the main page each time?

lol I never even saw it comming, he beat me like I stole something lol. Only after I was in a huge hole did I bother to check his chess rating.

29. Martie 2004, 01:24:47
grenv 
That's somewhat misleading since that unrated player has a provisional chess rating of 2200+ and has won 90% of his chess/variants so far. I'd say you still may be good! :)

29. Martie 2004, 01:16:55

tell me about it. I thought I was good at corner chess, then got beat 2 stright games by an unrated player lol
