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.
KotDB: I'd like Chu Shogi on BrainKing too. I play it now on a play by mail server and it's just not as good as playing a game on Brain King. At least I can play it there. Crazy game. Takes a few moves to get going and then all sorts of things happen. I play with the regular rules, but the site has drop and Lion handicap options too. If you'd like to play a game or two KotDB, we could play there until Fencer adds it here.
Isn't Ludo luck-based enough? Do we really need a game in which neither player can ever have a choice of moves? Wouldn't it be more efficient to sit at home tossing coins all day?
Fencer: that is not enirely true. If you use java to refresh with a counter variable you can stop the count down. I am not sure of the exact code but I have seen it done.
grenv: That'll work too. The thing is I normally accept invitations and do not enter a message as it won't appear until Fencer fixes the first message of a new game. I declined these invitations and found the need to write something.
Walter Montego: I think you can still click on the invite which will bring it up in another page which does not refresh so you would be able to type longer messages.
I recently was sent a game invitation which appeared on my Main page as usual, but with a dialog box for accepting or declining the invitation with it. That makes it easy to take care of, but there's a problem. How do you type a message into the box when your page continues to refresh? Could it be made to stop refreshing while you're typing into the box, but continue to refresh when you haven't typed anything into it? Just imagine how hard it'd be to type in a discussion board if the pages refreshed.
grenv: All four are reasonable and good suggestions. I personally am happy with any system as long as their is a chance for 1 to meet 2 in the final round. In many games and sports, there is the 1-64, 2-63 and so on. In chess there is the 1-33, 2-34 and so on. And in a game like tennis, there is no set pairing except that the top two can't meet until the final, the top four can't meet until the semis and so on.
1.Random each round 2.Random, but brackets known at the start 3.Seeded (1 vs 64, 2 vs 63 etc) Reseed each round based on current rating 4.Seeded, bracket known at start.
lukulus: this would mean fencer will always win... ... but yes: here is the special september-action: everyone who buys a black rook receives 10 "free-rolls" every year: the member will have 10 opportunities to decide himself how the dice are rolling. as an equivalent in chess and other games which do not depend on luck, this member will have the chance to make 10 illegal moves...
btw.: after a real desastrous finish in my last 2 backgammon-games this morning i was wondering whether it could be implemented something like a bonus for the experienced BK-players which helps to throw more doubles and better rolls at the end of games. according to the number of playes games, number of action-points, years on BK.........
diogenes: actually... it is [or should be], very similar to the way "Super Size HYPER Elimination---volume 1 (Hyper Backgammon)" was set up in the first round... players are seeded as ranked... highest bkr to lowest- unrated [with unrated playing each other] split the field in half with number one playing the best of the worst... in the second round winners [unrated players are given provisional] are ranked above draws- split the field... etcetera... 'random' invites criticism... order begats order;]
well, the best-rated players meet very soon in the elimination-tourneys. e.g. the best rated will meet the second best rated in the second round (if they both win their first match). as we all know from tennis and other sports, normally the first seeded is placed on the top, the second seeded at the bottom, third seeded at the top of the bottom half, fourth seeded at the bottom of the top half and so on...
could this be possible in order to "honour" the best seeded ones and to make a big final between them a little more possible??
mctrivia: The previous spelling was fine. It was the meaning However I think I'll stick to scrabble with a real English language dictionary and not one of those strange dictionaries which allow all sorts of strange words which nobody ever actually knows the meaning of, let alone ever uses in conversation.</i>
