I'm sure this has been asked many times so pardon my laziness for not taking the time to search through these messages but is their any chance we can see dots and boxes brought to this site?

M132T003C: Your suggestion was done some time ago but it´s not available for nobody (free or not) in this moment.

Matarilevich: I know it's free because I can see it. My suggestion was to show Total and Average BKR for each player on their profile page, or at least your own

Tournaments only start every hour (I think five minutes after the hour). So you probably just needed to wait.

First Five Open Backgammon.
Was filled close to 1 hour ago how come it is not started.
This is a 1 hour game.
WE have had them before and they all started right away.

M132T003C: It´s free but it´s just shown the best fifty on the stats page, maybe in a next future all players...

It'd be nice if we could see Total and Average BKR scores on the profile page that shows all the individual BKR scores.
There are already stats showing the best Totals and averages, so I don't see why not

(or is this one of the things only paying members can see?)

Well, i found the answer. Running and Open depends of the parameter Status of the tournament. However i don´t know if it works correctly.

I have 2 two tournaments as open because some kind of games haven´t started but my games are running. It doesn´t seem very logic.

In this moment i have 20 unfinished single tournaments. In my profile, i can see 18 of them when i set the filter as running and the other 2 when i set it as open. My question is: Which is the difference between running and open?

Mr. Shumway: oh my goodness! i didn't see that at all (obviously)! :D thank you!

How do you down size Ludo on game sheet I can't seem to find it.

Fencer: OK.

TKR101010: Sure. A bigger board/piece set.
Yeah, stairs, of course.

Summertop: It's not a matter of trust. Nobody but me or Liquid can do it. At least now.

I forgot to ask that Go be added to the stairs too, please :)

Hi Fencer :)

Thanks for adding Go to the site. That's one of the games I've been waiting for.

Are there any plans to make different board/piece sizes available in our settings like we have for other games?

Jason: I can see that...

So, Fencer, can Global Mods be trusted to approve new members?

Summertop: I think it used to be like that , but was altered to stop multinicks, bad names ect , or so i believe .

Summertop: That is something only Fencer can do.

I have a friend (Really, I do!) that is trying to register on BrainKing. His account is "waiting for approval". Is this something Fencer has to do or can the Globs do it?

My suggestion is to have an automated way...register, BK sends a confirmation email, user must respond to that email to finish registration.

How about a backgammon variant using the "old english rule" that not more than five checkers can be on one point at the same time? I used to play it like this ;)

pauloaguia: Sure, why not.

Fencer: does that mean they will be?

I would like to be able to see which fellowships have teams without my being the captain. As it is now, only the captain can see which teams are available to be challenged. I want to be able to view the teams, not challenge them. It's way to cumbersome to go to each fellowship and see who has a team for us to challenge.

plaintiger: right above the note is a link saying "show above the board" :)

edit: and it defaults the position!

the ability to enter notes on a game would be a lot more useful if one's notes appeared above the board on subsequent moves, right above the opponent's comments, if any. as it is, i make notes and often forget i've made them, especially if some hours or days elapse between the time i make the note and my next move. i'll make a note for my next move and then never see the note again, or only see it when the game's over. that's not a very useful note.

Andre Faria: Portuguese Checkers are not implemented here yet.

Andre Faria: I'm certainly no checkers expert; I just used what he said in his announcement. Sorry for any confusion. :)

jurek: not all checkers...

jurek: Ok!

Matarilevich: That's precicely what Fencer is doing. In Chess, white moves first. In Shogi, Go, Pente, Checkers, etc black moves first. And so on and so forth.

I think it´s not a good idea. I can not imagine a game of chess with the white as black and viceversa. In this case, would the colour of the squares change too? If it doesn´t change then the queen black would be on a white square and the white queen on a black square with the current colour squares and in the other case then the right square of the corner it´d be a black square.

I think if it´s not possible a specific solution for each kind of game then it´s better the white starts always the game than playing with the colours changed.

Let me help fencer, if I might
His lame excuses make us fight
We can forget all the rest
What Francoir said is the best
The system wont support our plight
Alas we must give up this fight :(

Groucho:
I agree with all my heart
(This reply to play my part)
Please give autopass a shot
What we want's not what we got

And once again Fencer
Before you reply
You must answer in rhyme
(so give it a try)

';)

francescolr: He's already beaten all other sites. ;)

The only thing left to improve this site
Is to impliment autopass with all his might
But if autopass has no system support
I will be defeated and have no retort

No matter the outcome
Here's a sure bet
Brainking's the best games site
Anywhere on the net!

Groucho: sorry too busy on playing my 2200 games lol :) i think we should have a group of people that could think or create new games to beat all other sites :)

francescolr: You should have submitted it in rhyme!

Groucho: hey :) i sended to Filip a list with over 20 request including the one u asking now here it is my list wich later was update with more request like 10 more :
ok here is the list :
1) go to next game where most moves have been made
2) go to next game of team vs team
3) fix please my tourneis numbers
4) italian checkers
5) russian checkers
6) poddavki or give away checkers(russian checkers but to lose)
7) 3 moves pre set for italian and regular checkers
8) a page of statistic for the teams
9) cards games (hearts and /or spades)
10) invent or modify simple cards games (i have one in italian calls scopa wich means sweap play with 40 cards 10 for each suit where from 1 to 10 the most cards gets by adding the other cards like if i have 3 and there are 1 and 2 on table i get all and do sweap all ) maybe u could do that with 13 cards of poker and do a game to 7 points by giving 1 point for the one who has most hearts cards ,1 point for the queen of hearts etc (that is where u have to personalize ) of course must see what is the support of software in this case
11) must have a word game ( i suggest u ask pergioco for help )
12)must have a puzzle game maybe the now famous su doku (like each players put on his turn a number)
13)sports game to play vs opponent
14) look (i am sure maybe u have already) on pogo, on gamestalks , on ludonet ,on kurnik , on iwin , on hardwoodhearts , on msn gaming zone,on yahoo,on clik.to/Abstrakta ,on vog .
this is for now :)
he answered me about your request and said that it couldn't have been done because is not supported by the system ..
i know is bad (and no one hate that more than me since i play over 2200 games) so lets hope that maybe ludo could be lets say updated to avoid the stall ? :)

Some may say I have no class
To request again for autopass

But perhaps its time is finally here
cuz getting stuck in Ludo, my greatest fear

It's one pass, two passes, three passes, four
Another pass???? I can't take it any more!!

Me and my opponent had passes all week
If you don't believe me, go take a peek.

So now Mr Fencer, if your answer is no,
I'll fully understand, and start playing go

Let's hear your answer, please take your time,
But whatever you write, it must be in rhyme.

;)

Czuch Chuckers: Took me a little longer (36 seconds) to type all the I typed it looks like.

Pedro Martínez and BBW: Ups, of course... Sorry, my fault... LOL

BIG BAD WOLF: LOL, you must have Pedro on hide? Or type faster, it looks like

Andre Faria: If you have not already, you first need to add the game to the fellowship list of games (teams).

You should then be able to create a tournament.

(Note: After the tournament is created, you can remove the team if you don't want it there any longer.)

Andre Faria: You've got to create a Ludo team first. :)

why can´t I create a tournament of Ludo in my fellowship?

BIG BAD WOLF: That's what I thought. It explains why my opponent's listed available days have not been reduced while he is on scheduled vacation.

alanback: Actually I just checked - if you schedule a vacation day, the total on the profile also goes down one day.

Does the "Vacation Days Left" on the profile page include vacation days that are scheduled in the future, or have those already been subtracted?

could we see not only minimum, maximum and average of the last round, but also the median?
