Kevin: maybe i'm just talking about the page that has the list of tournaments on it, or the main page with the red numbers, whenever theres a new tourney posted, it should show up on the main page as "1 new"
not (49)
u see?

ANIMAL: But would you have to actually go into that tournament for it to be marked as "visited" or would you just have to view the tournament list with that tournament on it?

thanks Fencer... and i'm sorry :o(

I've just declared a draw at that game. But next time please post your request on another discussion board.

could someone look at game id #167377? Should this have ended in a draw, or do i have to offer a draw or resign? They are the only two options when i view the game...

fencer maybe when someone puts a new tourney up have next to it the date...like posted on (8-26)...theres sopme tourneys that wait a month or so for sign ups those of us that look all the time usully know them but it would be cool if we signed up for a touney that starts on sept 30 and we signed up the first day or 2 of it posted it would be cool to see that date next to it so we can say oh yea thats starting soon without having ot go into it...something like that.,,,,

yep
i think thats what i'm gettin at :)
you know how you have your fav boards and it has (1 new) by it or however many new posts

So you would call all non-visited tournaments "new"?

similar to new posts in discussion groups?

How would you define a "new tournament"?

Was wondering if it was possible for Fencer to make the red numbers on the main page to only show the "New" number of tournaments, so that if there is a new tournament posted then we will know :)

I agree, once the screen is raised the game counts. I would say Dark Chess is similar, once a move is made by each player the game counts. Maybe this is a good rule for all games?

short games are not counted, am I right ?
but that's not okay for (crazy) screen chess.
you might remember our first game Fencer -
a high poker, but completed correctly ...

so it indeed should count regardless of the amount of moves ...

now I'm just getting a mate in two, after a crazy screen chess setup ...

it should not be idle playing well, you know ... :D ... ~*~

Yes, i have asked if the tournament winner could be indicated when it is mathematically proven. Fencer told me that he would not implement something like that until it was tested very thoroughly, and that was the last i heard of it.

Sorry grenv, but I cannot read...:)

Yay! Caissas, you must be reading all my old posts. lol.

That would expedite the tournament.

Would it not be enough if the first of every group is clear?Have we to wait until the last game is ready?

The creator has to start the subsequent rounds too, when all games have been completed.

The creator will receive a notification message.

When a round of a tournament has been completed is the next round automatically generated or must the tournament creator monitor to see when it is ready and click something to activate it?

or rather ... "NOT show inactive ratings"

I had the same question. I suggest not starting or finishing a game type in 6? 12? months should remove you from active status. Perhaps an additional filter "Show inactive ratings".

Now what would BBW and Rod do to make someone mad? ... or do they just have evil, wicked and twisted minds to think up what they might do to others ... the thought would NEVER have occured to me! (LOL - NOM)

How long remains a player in the ratinglist, if he is not more active at brainking?

a pre select set up could have only 1 game from any opponent, this would stop multiple invites. Just a thought

If BIG BAD WOLF has been the victim of bogus multiple invitations, then how about a 'delete all invitations' box/button?

I was thinking the same thing BBW

I hope that's not the voice of a bitter experience talking, BIG BAD WOLF!

... until you make someone mad, and they start making 10-20 pawn accounts and inviting you to 20 Pente games each - giving you 400 games to delete when you get on-line.... :-)

I think it woudl be cool to have an automatic acceptance of all invitations of a certain kind of game. For instance, I would accept every Pente invitation. Just a thought.

to make some sense at least.

this is the board for requests to fencer, as I used it regarding
a misfeature, if that should be a telegraph for you. welcome. ~*~

PS
but a telegraph for eddie: my notepad is quicker than you cAn delete

It is getting quite tiring hearing about this on boards like these! Complain to Fencer about it, not us... With regards to your posts, every single one of your posts have been well beyond the line of what I would call deletable, as they contain multiple insults and do not pertain to the board you are posting in!

If you have something to complain about, it would be better to do it in the BrainKing.com DB if you can't get the complaints heard on the appropriate board (i.e. Tournaments or GothicChess). In any the case, stooping to even lower levels than the person you are comlaining about is going to do nothing but cause you to be ignored!

Maybe I should ask for a real feature request here and that is the ability to hide postings from certain individuals that I don't want to read!

Zucan

he's not only a shame for this server, but also for the free world ... who
wouldn't grant him an own musty corner that he made from the gothic board
- lunatics have to be kept busy before they inflict damage in the streets -
and even if just by their tiny enjoyment of deleting any objections diligently.

but now that he starts to sabotate functional boards also,
finally a border should have been reached - it is the 'tournament board'
for tournament-announcements as well - we don't need another berlusconi
deciding who's to kiss the oxyclean t-shirt in a spot.

pardon me for being particulary allergic against his attitude, most higher
educated german postwar citizens are, regarding sad parts of our history. ~*~

particulary annyoing as he lies as soon as his lips are moving ...
I said he violates fairness in his so called world championship ...

below the original he refers to - does it sound as if top-players avoid
playing me when I clearly state I play all of them ?? oh my he needs help.
and to be removed as disgusting leftover from times of occupied media.
there is no 'I and other players' eddieboy - you are the only one who's
counterfeited board-messages so far - don't try to be a 'we' - as we don't.

what I wrote yesterday upon his ranting, I think very moderately - deleted.

and go figure, his 'one last comment' will also
this time remain an empty promise and, scamp.

Its on your settings...

is there a way to change the background? i can't find it,if there isn't, could you put it in?

Fair enough! I too would like them to upgrade. If nothing else than to show their appreciation and help out the site, even if they don't need the extra features.

Of course it can be corrected.
On the other hand, why should I add better support for pawns? Nothing of the restrictions you've described would apply to them if they upgrade their membership. Which is exactly what I want.

1.) If maximum players per section is set to five(5) then everyone assumes pawns only need four(4) games available yet they get the boot if they don't have five(5) games available (unless it's been "fixed").
2.) If a pawn has finshed all games in an ongoing tournament, and cannot advance, he must make special request to enter new tournament (unless it's been "fixed").
These are very frustrating for tournament creators and participants. Can these items be corrected?

An obversation...

I would LOVE to be able to browse the
tourneys by date of start....
Some tourneys don't start for weeks... :)

Not sure if this can be incorported, but maybe (particularly with the site database going down ... sorry Fencer but it has happened) a fourth option could be implimented where a game can be abandoned with agreement of both parties. This would not be counted for games played or for BKR but would allow for a resolution of games such as Battleboats where positions are discovered only to be reset to an earlier position and there is no way for players to remember what they played (I find chess is a little easier to remember but have still made mistakes in this too).

For tournament games the game would be restarted.

What you want to see?:

I give up.

Ah, my words fall upon cloth eyes and ears.

Be seeing you, No.2

And new beginnings out of view?

Recognition of the first eye to a friend should see past an honest error.

Funny how quickly friend can turn to foe... ~*~

I tried to accomodate a request as I had noticed that Fencer was
not online much - anything else was strictly feature-oriented as that
fiddling moderator who was reported already before, as busted on
even counterfeiting board-messages has to be reconfigured not only imho ...
dare your fantasy - on this board I targeted him as bk-feature malfunction ... ~*~

NOW who's straying the topic?? ~*~

during the past two days, he should be granted a vacant
weekend from time to time - Liquid has held the fortress ... ;)

of course the game will be restaured as it happened during
your holidays anyway and belonged to the flaws of that
only a harrasser and message-faker of the trice type, but
no moderator would consider drawing any advantage from ...

go figure why that joke of a federation has only 500 members - and this in
a country having almost an equally high population as the EU - who would
voluntarily (unless with masochistic tendencies) surrender to a megalomaniac who screws up erraneously every now and then ? my yahoo club grew to 300 in between a few months, honesty is that attracts, wishiwashi not ... ~*~

I have asked Fencer but he has not answered until as yet.But I have asked my opponent too and he has refused
