Субъект: Fellowship's Discussion boards...Posting rights

In the fellowship's discussion boards, there is now the ability to require approval of all posts. Very nice, Fencer. However, it would be nice to be able to have that option be specific to the member. Mybe even add a new rank for this (Member, Trusted, Manager, Big Boss).

I'm just curious why you would keep someone in your fellowship, if you dont "trust" them.

edit: (I am NOT saying this isn't a good suggestion... just wondering..)

i'm not sure but I don't thnk you could kick someone out unless they do something to justify it.

You can kick someone out whenever you want, its your fellowship, so its your right and dont have to justify yourself :o)

The Hunter

so then you can be a power hungry lunatic? I sertainl wouldn't like to get kicked out of a fellowship for no reason at all and I definately wouldn't do that to someone else if I had one. that rule isn't up to me so i wont worry about it.

I agree musiclover but spamming the boards does not help

Субъект: Sorry Midnight

I agree with you and did not mean to start anything. I just wanted everyone to know how I felt about the situation on some of them. Most of the discussion boards have nice people and no abuse there. I did not mean to start anything. I hope everyone will forgive me. I should have kept my mouth shut.

Субъект: Re: Hunter...

It does happen, believe me, I know LOL

But it is not a bad thing....if you are not wanted, for whatever reason, why would you want to be there anyway? It is somewhat irritating to be given a lame, unfounded excuse for being kicked out, when like Stevie said, there is no need to justify it anyway. IMO, it would be more reasonable to simply say "I dont want you here anymore" than to make up some lame, unfounded reason, or excuse.... like " I have no choice, I dont really want to do this, but for the overall good, I feel it is my resposibility" what a waste of breath....LOL

Sometimes people are thrown into a tournament with a last minute entry and have games with someone they just don't like. Then the only choice is to resign I think. It has happened to a friend of mine. But for a fellowship it is harder because maybe you have been in there for a long time and then in comes Mr. Toxic and what do you do? Make the Big Boss choose? I don't think that is right either. I would say just go poof.

Can we have a politics board to keep all this stuff that's not of general interest off the general chat board please.

Субъект: Loop Chess

I have seen two versions of loop chess. In BK's version when a pawn is promoted (say to a queen) and then captured, the opponent gets a queen. In other versions, the promoted pawn reverts back and the opponent only gets a pawn.

I would like to see an option for both versions.

Can we have more posting members? I'm lonely. I've tried fantasies about my wife's "best friend" and I'm already suffering a sympathetic pregnancy, HELP!

19. Августа 2004, 19:53:53

Субъект: Re: Loop Chess

Eh, I dunno. I like the standard version. Promoted pawns should revert when captured. You know you're probably going to drop 'em next to the back rank and threaten promotion anyhow...

19. Августа 2004, 20:01:10

"Standard version"? Who told you that? Tell me "standard version"s of a handfull of BrainKing specific games.

19. Августа 2004, 20:07:40

Here, on BrainKing, BrainKing implementations are standard versions.

Well, ughaibu, I could have been wrong, but it's the version I've seen at other chess sites like FICS. There, they call it 'crazyhouse' chess.

Or is that a different game altogether? It sure looks like the same game to me...

19. Августа 2004, 20:19:47

Crazyhouse is nothing to do with it, neither is any other site.

Could we also have some kind of alcohol board whithin which we make our excuses for not moving but being busy, here and there.

19. Августа 2004, 22:26:06

No.

19. Августа 2004, 22:30:14

Okay, how about the previous question about a dedicated politics board? I certainly get sick of reading about american electoral crap.

19. Августа 2004, 22:40:01

temo

Субъект: 2Ughaibu

Ug, don't read it or just pass it, can I write about our political situition? If you don't interesting in just leave it, I wonder why are you so upset about "american political crap"....

19. Августа 2004, 22:48:17

Субъект: Temo

Fine, but a lot of members want to spout loquacious on so called political issues, my contention is that such matters are not of general interest. I couldn't give an FFF who is PM in the UK or president in the US. Of course it matters to some people but it's not a matter of general concern, mention it once a month is okay but. . . .

19. Августа 2004, 23:07:42

Субъект: Ughaibu

Hmmmmm....maybe Fencer will make such as "political board" but if you will think about it...do you want to have a board for "everything"?...I don't mind and I think it's not possible.I can't say my thoughts in english but Ug...it seems like you don't have "your day"...just throw it away and tomorrow it will be all good. Life is so wonderfull so just live it......(maybe offtopic my last words).

How about making a board for discussion of "political" topics? But make it czech only.

19. Августа 2004, 23:38:10

:) I'm not sure is Fencer is interesting in political issues....maybe others.
Vote for Kerry...sorry Ug just my opinion. :)

19. Августа 2004, 23:43:42

I hope Fencer doesn't care but it's not my problem. Bush or Kerry are also not my problem.

19. Августа 2004, 23:53:42

temo

I'm sure he know that isn't your problem.Maybe som poeple here on board want to show their feelings or opionios about (especially) american political situation....anyway this option will change my life, not closely but in some ways I think yes. But stop talking about politicians, it's not my problem. ;) truly said

19. Августа 2004, 23:55:43

Sweet.

20. Августа 2004, 01:26:01

Субъект: Quite interesting...

...that the person complaining about foreign politics on public boards is also one of the only ones I see discussing it here in 'feature requests'... hmm...

20. Августа 2004, 01:27:27

Субъект: Re: Crazyhouse and other sites

Well, since many of the games here are standard issue that can be found on other sites, I hope I can be forgiven for thinking Loop Chess is another implemenation of crazyhouse. It certainly looks the same to me.

The same topics that you complain about would be on any new politics board anyway... But the good thing is that pawns could join the discussion.... oh, and I already have dibs on moderator :)~

Субъект: E-Mail and Move Lists

...over on the Atomic Chess board, that some of the moves disappear from the game record. If you have a long game, like WhisperzQ's, that you want to review, it isn't possible to look at it from move 1.

I'm guessing that the server automatically purges the database to make room for more games. If we had a "e-mail the move list to me" sort of function, that would make it possible to delete old games from the database entirely, and still have records of our games.

20. Августа 2004, 08:27:57

No, it's just a bug in game engine, there is no problem with the database itself.

20. Августа 2004, 23:58:25

Just for the record, ughaibu, I agree with you that there ought to be a message board designated for politics.

Субъект: Re: Here, on BrainKing, BrainKing implementations are standard versions

Here, on BrainKing, BrainKing implementations are standard versions said Fencer. So is there coming a doubling cube for those of you, and I think there is quite a few, who would like 3 or more games on the trot against one person?

are indeed obligatory in backgammon - but fencer doesn't seem to like it ... ~*~

26. Августа 2004, 01:23:50

Субъект: Re: point system and doubling cube

How would it work with a doubling cube? Would the game count as two wins, for example? And 2 (or more) seperate bkr's confugured? etc....

Субъект: Re: point system and doubling cube

cube would only be used in a 2 or more game match, doubled would be worth 2 games towards match, but the match would count the same as it does now, once

26. Августа 2004, 02:22:40

grenv

Usually a match is played up to a certain number of points, for instance first to 9 points. Gammon counts 2, backgammon counts 3, doubling cube multiplies the score. So a doubled gammon counts 4 points. Not accepting the double loses, but counts only 1 with the cube where it was before the double.

Clear?

26. Августа 2004, 04:07:45

Субъект: right

iyt offers five and ninepoint games - but there are 21-points matches also ~*~

26. Августа 2004, 04:46:19

But since most people play only single game matches, the cube is hrdly obligatory, isnt it?

26. Августа 2004, 05:32:02

grenv

they play single game matches because there is no cube. If there was a doubling cube I would never play single matches again.

26. Августа 2004, 14:01:33

Субъект: Re: point system and doubling cube

Obligatory, but Fencer doesn't like it? That's the sole reason why I am not a paid up member! If that IS the sole reason. As a few say, if there WAS a doubling cube, which there ios in any major tournament, they would never play single matches again.

26. Августа 2004, 14:38:35

I never said I don't like it. A doubling cube is in TODO list but there are more important things to do first.
