I'm a new player here, but I really happy to find this site for online reversi play with tournaments and ELO-like ratings. And I have a suggestion how to make games faster and much more comfortable for all.

That would be great to have this feature in reversi game. I have a lot of situations when opponent just need to get into the game and pass his move 3-5 time in a row. And when he does it once in couple of days game becomes unreasonably long.

Most of the times such positions are at the end of the game and I believe this would be a good way to skip additional waitings for opponent turn.
In any case he is able to view turns history to know what has been done during autopasses.

I would really appreciate your help! Thanks in advance.

cd power: For me also

This is a feature request regarding earning achievements, that I know has been brought up before, but I don't believe there has been any response.

It would be nice to be able to view a table so you know which games or tournaments you are lacking in order to earn an achievement. Example # 1: "10 won tournaments of 50 game types" -- As this applies to public tournaments only, it would be nice to see which of my 35 game types that I have already met this. It is nearly impossible for me to tell simply by looking at my finished games page, as I have many fellowship tournaments mixed in with this.

Example # 2: "10 won games of 50 game types" - It shows I have 39. I would like to know which 39 game types have already satisfied this. In looking at my finished games, I have 65 game types that have appeared to satisfy this, but I do not know which 39 of these 65 have truly satisfied the requirement. If I knew, then I could focus on playing games of the other types in order to reach 50. Going along with this, it would be nice to know how many games within each game type have satisfied this requirement... i.e. 9 won games of Frog Finder, so I would know I need to win one more game against a unique opponent.

There are many such examples in these achievements, but I have only listed the 2 above.

Thanks!

rabbitoid: i doubt they even read there 'Tournament is Finished' messages or come to that take any notice of how there Tournaments are doing

I just know it would be a great help

MadMonkey: I can think of a certain person that would love that implementation.
I mean the one to whom we re indebted for the 421542125 tournaments on the list

I create many Tournaments that i have created in the past (and i am sure many of us do).

I know we can create Templates, and then edit information that needs changing each time, but i had a GREAT (well i think so) thought

e.g. My Random 'Lines' Games Elimination Tournament finishes ( here Random 'LINES' Elimination )

On that page how about a button that just says RE-CREATE !!

Just click that, and it would open up a set up image of that Tournament.

The only thing that would have to change would be the date (but the option to edit, add or remove would be there), then it is done

I know it would certainly save a few of us time

I want to see my opponent's dice roll right away in games where it can be shown (games without the doubling cube, etc.).

If Ludo Autopass I'd had a lot more !!

Carl: He had a more logical reason than "I don't like it" If you are looking for an argument take it some where else. Thank you.

Does anyone have a more logical reason for not using auto pass than "i don't like it"?

Vikings: When I don't recognize a game, it would be great if I could back up until I did recognize how the position arose.

Oh, wait.  I already can do that.  Never mind.

Carl: You shouldn't ask for reasons if you aren't interested in those reasons, or are going to chastise for those reasons.

El Cid: I don't care if my opponent wants to use it, I just prefer not to

Vikings: Shame on you,not understanding auto pass.

Vikings: By the way, would you mind if the other person could use auto-pass, even if you don't want to use it (like I think it still does not happen at the moment)?

Carl: you asked for one, I gave you two

Carl: Um, you asked for a reason, and he gave you one.

Vikings: Your point is?

Carl: because I've paid to actually. you know, play the game.
seriously, I have played with auto pass and I do not like it when a game comes back to me after 20 passed moves and I don't recognize it

Carl: It would have to be someone like "Dunbar" from the book "Catch 22"

Would someone who chooses not to use auto pass please explain the reason for there choice as i just cannot understand it.Thanks.

plaintiger: yesssssssssssssss!

i'd like to see Ludo added to the list of auto-passable games. thanks, Filip.

Fencer: Maybe the best way to get this answer is from Mongolians. It will take some time to get it, I am afraid.

fukuhara: Can you confirm that this page contains full and exact rules, which means that if this game is added, nobody would complain "hey, you forgot about this and that rule, and this is all wrong, you must delete all running games and rewrite the model"? I have bad experiences with variants that are not well known in Europe.

As an Asian player, I would like more of Asian board games. I think Shatar, Mongolian chess could be an interesting game to add. What do you say?

that's a figure of speech, but what i mean is that i'd like for finished Stairs matches to be made to stand out somehow...the results notices flagged in some way in the Events box, maybe?...so that when a stairs match ends i'll know to go to those stairs and start another match. the red text in the stairs' game lists that shows me which stairs i'm enrolled in is great, and that's the kind of thing i'm talking about; but what i'd like is some way of easily seeing which stairs games i'm signed up for but not currently playing in, so i can go straight to them and start a new match without having to periodically look through all the stairs i'm playing to make sure none of them is lying idle without my knowledge.

thanks!

rod03801:
Thank you, I didn't realize it was moved.

KJ: Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but in the message you get, when you win/lose (now in the "Events" box), there is still an offer to invite to a new game. It is all the way at the bottom of the message.

(Though, perhaps not, if it is a person who has invitations turned off, that I'm not sure of)

I miss the line on the main page that says when you win or lose the game and gives you the option to re-invite that person to another game.

The Events feature is great, but is it possible to preview the last event when the mouse hovers over the number next to Events, like the mailbox?

talen314:
i would love to see official bk all games site run tournaments monthly, or preferably as they fill up.

Hi all,

New achievements for Ludo

100 wins
500 wins
1000 wins
2000 wins
5000 wins
win with 1 opponent at home
win with 2 opponents at home
win with 3 opponents at home
win with all 4 opponents at home
capture 2 opponent in one turn
capture 3 opponents in one turn
capture all 4 opponents in one turn

nodnarbo: Lets use an example: 10 people vote on a poll - 3 different options:

Option #1 - 8 of the 10 people vote for this one (so 80% of voters picked this one)
Option #2 - 5 of the 10 people vote for this one (so 50% of voters picked this one)
Option #3 - 7 of the 10 people vote for this one (so 70% of voters picked this one)

Once I pictured that example, it was more clear to me what you were talking about (hopefully help others & Fencer if he decides to add something like this.)

coan.net: I would also like to see a reminder of how I voted, when the results are tabulated. Once in a while, I can't remember! I guess that sounds dumb, though. But it's true!

coan.net: I wasn't sure how to explain it any clearer, if you can, please do.

nodnarbo: It took me reading your message a few time to understand what you are saying, and now I do - AND AGREE.... maybe a link to toggle back and forth between the current way and the way you propose to take the percentage from the number of voters (and not number of votes).

I would also like to see Opinion Polls be sortable so the top vote winner will be sortable - so when there are polls with 20+ options, it will be easier to see the top voted option.

For checkbox opinion polls where you can choose more than one option I feel like it would be more helpful for the percent listed after the option to be the percent of voters that voted for that option than it is to have the percent of the total votes it got. With polls with 20+ options you could easily have an option that only got 15% of the total votes, but had 80+% of the voters vote for that option. It wouldn't change how the votes are counted, it would just make the popular options stand out more.

Thom27: Give up, there is no logical reason, nor can there be. It is not mandatory because it's not mandatory.

I just can't understand why it is not mandatory.

There should be an option... Instead of having a black or white pick but a 2 game both sides...

Orlandu: The easiest way would be to look at your profile, click on the Fellowships tab, and scroll down, and it shows you what teams you are on in any fellowship.

Is there any way to show what teams we have signed up for in our fellowships?

talen314: The current system does not allow to make more sophisticated filtering.
It might be possible in the future.

Hi all,
I would like to see greater ability to filter tournament searches.
Examples include:
Search for tournaments that need just one more player.
Allow players to filter out tournaments for games that are not of interest. (Allow the list of tournament games to show only the games desired by the player.)
Filter out tournaments that have undesired time limits.
Highlight the names of players that a member has no wins against to help in going after some of the achievements.  Or allow a search for tournaments that include players that a member has not faced.

Snoopy: Thank you very much

"GERRY": you just click to disable wall button on your wall page

How do you remove your wall on your profile as i see on others don;t have it?

Thom27: Yes, this is a much needed feature.
