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.
My feature request is......mmmm.....*trying to keep on board topic*....... a bar in the corner of brainking, where I can take BBW for a drink to celebrate our togetherness LMAO
At the moment we are making our moves with three steps 1. field 1 - 2.field2 - and - 3.move.
Perhaps it is possible (in Brainking 2.0) to move only -more comfortable- in two steps ?
Either 1.field 1, field 2 - 2.move or 1.field 1 - 2.field 2 = move ?
New Poll Idea for Fencer - How about a poll about which game / improvment the users want the most (That way you have an idea of what the users want you to work on... after BK 2.0 is done.)
A poll like that would either make users pick a single most important choice when there may be several that a user feels are equally important, or allows users to select multiple options and therefore does not really provide an accurate representation of what the population feels to be the most important.
<WTF was that all about??? I only hit the sub button twice, and that was because the first came back 'page contains no data' ... fairly common, actually, but never before producing such unexpected results. I shall delete the extras, hopefully without deleting the board. :>
Please add a feature to download .pgn for Dark Chess game after it is finished. It is very interesting to replay the game aftewards to see how the opponent played. With game in .pgn format you can do it more convinietnly, e.g. in Arena GUI.
I can see where this would be good but it may reveal "secrets" of a person's success, like piece placements in screen chess and battleships in battleships, and that would be to their disadvantage in future games. Part of the skill, I think, is in the method of play which is not intended to be revealed.
Fencer: I know you are not making any changes to the current BrainKing.
When the BK 2.0 is released i dont know if the inter-fellowship challenges we be ready to be used.
If they are not could we have somewhere on the game setup page to put in a title for a game e.g. Madhouse Vs Sunshine, rather then just have Normal game show up.
You know we are setting our own challenges at the moment to get members in the mood, and it would be so much easier to keep track of these games if we could have a title to look for amongst all our games.
The one we started last night has 128 games in LOL.
LOL - I didnt mean a link Steve, just a title, like when it says Normal Game at the moment, to go in place of that, just so we can find them easier. I know in the new version that the fellowship challenge matches are not ready yet and wont be for a while, so looks like we are going to be running challenges like this for a bit yet.
*Thinks Steve may need a larger webpage LOL*
MadMonkey, you already can. Go back to 'start/edit tournament' and you can alter the title. So instead of it saying "MadMonkeysMadhouse chess" you could change it to "Madhouse vs Sunshine" (for example)
Ahh I see. But if you made the tournament within the fellowship, invitational only - you could change the name there. As long as all players were in both fellowships it would work.
harley, i am talking about the matches between fellowships that we are playing.
As we can not use the tournament creation way on BK (as we would end playing people from our own fellowship) all games have to be set up seperatly(normally by all the players of one team) & then displayed on an external webpage.
Even an invitational one would still mean we would be playing players from our own team. I am sure Fencer could add a space on the Game setup page saying, Does this game have a title ?
Why do we need game pages to auto refresh? If you in a game, when you click or move a piece it refreshes anyway. I like the auto refresh on the main page. But would things not slow down as much if it were removed from games pages?
And when is the game time going to be taken off suspend?
I have games that should have timed out and the players have been online but not moved. Going by the number of moves players are making, (including most moves wednesday was 900+) I dont see why it needs suspending
Steve R: I must do FULL CHECK of RAM of our servers. It can be posible when boot from CDROM.
Yeah, i do it in saturay, when i wake up, have lunch a go tu hosting centrum visit our servers.
<Could we have it so that when we define a tournament and set the closing date/time for signup that it's based on our own time zone -when- we set it, rather than trying to guess where to set it to make it the time we want? :>
fencer have you got plans to have some car stickers and such things ?? if you had i think there would be many of us who would like to purchase some and help spread the word about the site
Great idea Jason.... MERCHANDISE!!!!!!
Tee shirts, coffee mugs etc.....
The only down fall is that it would take some 'up front' capitol. They don't make those things for free, and let you pay them later, after they are sold....Maybe we could have a tournament to raise money to pay for bumper stickers so Fencer can sell them to raise money for a new server ;)
Actually you would not need any "up front" capitol if you use a site like CafePress
You can create a store with up to 50 products, with a logo(s) that you upload. And then you set a retail price OVER the CafePress.com base price.
It's not the best option since you would only make a few dollars off items (and CafePress makes the rest), but it does all the work for you and it would basicly run itself after awhile!
T-shirts, Jerseys, Hoodies
Ceramic and Stainless Steel Mugs
Posters and Framed Prints
Caps and Visors
Stickers
Bags
Baby and Kids
New seasonal items added ongoing!
And as a side note, a site I use (Nitpickers.com) has used CafePress for years. I've never used them, but I have only heard good things... other then their base price seems a little high on some items.
They have introduced ladders at ItsYourTurn.com. Which again brings up a question here, when is BrainKing going to try this? Ladders are also used at Yahoo! games for its paying members. Should we have ladders here for everyone or just the paying members??
I think ladders should be for paying individuals only. But, it could be used in marketing,
you can participate in one ladder only unless you are paying.
Get them addicted then charge... Kind of like Drugs :-)
