    furbster: yes, it just shows me all my stairs, and in each one I can see that I am retired, and all others positions.
    I have un-retired now, so it doesn't matter anymore at this time to me. But it would be a nice addition to display my level while I am retired.

    Aganju: It might work if you "unretire". And then simply "Re-retire", if you want.

    Of course you would have to stay unretired for 14 days. So that may not be the best option.

    Subiectul: Question: while Retired, how can I see my position?
    While 'retired', according to the rules, my position in a stair is 'temporarily hidden from others'.
    However, it seems it is hidden for me too! Does anyone know how I can see my position (step level) in a stair where I am currently inactive ('retired')?

    I'm trying to challenge someone - anyone - in the Slow Go stairs (http://brainking.com/en/Stairs?tri=3477).
    However, there is just one name to pick for me, and if I pick him, I get the message that I cannot challenge that player because he is at his game lmit.

    Is this a known lmitation? Any idea what I can do?

    Subiectul: Re: re: challenge
    Stair rule 5) ..........For example, if you stay on step 6, you can challenge players from step 6,5,4 or 3.

    what happen if player on step 6 lost a game to the one on step 3, then step 6 move down to step 5, and step 3 move up to step 4......how about the original players on step 5 and step 4....actually they have nothing to do with the game between step 6 vs step 3.....

    will the original step 5 player move up to step 6? and the original step 4 player move down to step 3? I just don't know how to figure it out....

    the stair or ladder rule of online game is always not perfect...the online game, especially the turnbased online game is just a less serious form of playing the game...
    if you want to be a good player, you must to be serious in that business...

    Subiectul: Re: re: challenge
    one more about the stair rule:
    2) If u win a game you move up 1 step, if you lose a game you move down 1 step...and
    5) you can only challenge another player on the same step or within 3 lower as you

    it is unfair for the one at the top, the no.1 player must challenge the 3 players below, when he lost he has to move down 1 step, and when he won he cannot move up anywhere

    the rule is set up that you can ONLY move above anyone without beating that player.

    I think you have to beat the player to take his place...you have to beat the no.1 to be the true no.1

    I sugest that the challenge rule change :
    you can only challenge up
    you can challenge any one above you not only the one at the same stair.

    now you can move up only one stair each time when you win one game, too slow to move up

    computeropponen: Well, I don't make those sort of decisions here. So, my point was, why complain about "turn based" specifically, yet play anyway. If ANYthing, this site offers even MORE options as far as "time" goes, than many other turn based sites.
    And maybe it's a language difference thing, but it sounded like you were insulting those who DO play at turn based sites. "a good live game player is much better than a turnbased game player"
    If that is the case, then play at a live game site. Easy solution, to me. That's all I meant.

    Subiectul: Re:
    VA_M.O.N.E.Y.: To add a couple of things to what rod said,

    Think of a turn-based games site like way-back when people use to play chess by the mail. That is they would make a move, then send a postcard through the mail to someone who in turn made a move and sent them the move back and forth through the mail.

    So a lot of people will sign on, make moves on the games they have, then leave the site. Then maybe the next day, they will sign back on and see what moves they have waiting for them.

    Like rod mentioned, there are even faster time limits (like complete games within 1 hour), but in my opinion - if you like live games, there are other game sites out there that offer live games. But turn-based games might grow on you. Give it a try - that is, start some games - make your moves - then come back tomorrow and check to see what games have moves waiting.

    Subiectul: Re:
    VA_M.O.N.E.Y.: I guess you have never been part of a turn based game site. That IS how things work. You have a time limit per move.

    You will find it is RARE to NOT have people take a few hours before they move.. In fact it not rare that it be days between moves. That is the nature of the turn based game site. It is for people who WANT that type of flexibility. You need to choose your time limits wisely, ALWAYS expecting that many of your opponents could take the entire time allotted to them.

    VA_M.O.N.E.Y.: You only joined this site 3 or 4 hours ago! Patience!. This is a turn based game site, not LIVE games. You need to expect that people will possibly take the time alotted to them.

    And fakar10 is right, people CAN'T turn down Stairs challenges.

    And posts of this type are generally frowned upon on Brainking.

    Okay, I just looked at the rules for stairs and it doesnt say anywhere that you can automatically be put on retirement. Well when I came back on after about a month away with computer problem I was on retirement in all of my stairs. Also I just went in to remove my retirement and it was a long painstaking requirement.

    Family Man: This is from the Stairs rules:

    9) If you want to take a break from the Stairs but you don't want to leave completely (as described in the previous point), you can use a Retirement:

    * When you set a Retirement, your Step position will be hidden for other players and they cannot challenge you.
    * You must finish your started games even if you set a Retirement and the wins/loses still count and change your Step position (although it is hidden).
    * You cannot end the Retirement until at least 7 days pass. After you finish the Retirement, you cannot start a new one within 14 days
