<< < 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 > >> 5. februari 2009, 18:26:09 Ämne: Re: Carl: Play tournaments that use the Fischer's Clock. That way, you know the game will be done by a certain time (for the most part). 5. februari 2009, 17:50:46 Ämne: Re: Marfitalu: Yes. Or add an option to allow create tournaments where we can choose the number maximum of games that a player must have to can play that tournament. Example: Backgammon tournament only acessible for players with less 1000 games. If we can create a tournament for players with bkr between 1000 and 1600 points, for example, why not add this new option? 5. februari 2009, 16:14:56  While we're on the subject of extremely slow players.Does anyone have any tips on avoiding tournaments that those players are in? ( a certain male player from a certain state in America for instance) 4. februari 2009, 20:48:11 Ämne: Re: Auto pass  AbigailII: I am playing him too and am having the same problem. Since the beginning of the year, he's used up most of his vacation days delaying tourneys and delaying individual games. He's at 14 left for the year. At this rate, he'll have used his entire year in less than two months. Many have complained so I hope there will a stop to this so no additional vacation days can be purchased by anyone for any reason. If 35 days isn't enough, then people ought to play fewer games or be forced to lose. 6 moves in 6 months should be an automatic loss for the offender. 4. februari 2009, 17:26:51 Ämne: Re: Auto pass Undertaker.: In 2008, Ladiesmanny ran out of holidays, played his moves for a few days, then extended his membership to get more holidays, to be able to resume his crawling speed. 4. februari 2009, 17:15:42 Ämne: Re: Auto pass Undertaker.: I agree.It's almost as ridiculous as getting to No 1 in a game and then refusing to play that game. 4. februari 2009, 17:10:11 Ämne: Re: Auto pass  coan.net: It's also a non issue for me, but I think that's the way it works right now... I was just pointing that out as a possible reason for MM's problem... 4. februari 2009, 17:07:23 Ämne: Re: Auto pass  pauloaguia: If a person has an option to double, then autopass should not happen. But for a reply - well that is a non-issue - since if for example Player 1 makers their move on March 1st - and Player 2 makes their move on March 3rd. Player 1 will make a move - get autopassed back to him - make his next move - get autopassed back to him - make his next move and then send to Player 2. Guess what - Player 2 STILL makes their next move on March 3rd - so they can still reply or talk at the same exact time they would have originally. So to me - not being able to chat is a non-issue. (I would be happy to turn off my chat box like some players do if we could get an autopass setup on all games that can use them.) 4. februari 2009, 15:37:35 Ämne: Re: Auto pass  pauloaguia: I will check....cant think what game it was now. Dont think i would double in that position though  4. februari 2009, 15:28:02 Ämne: Re: Auto pass MadMonkey: maybe one of you wrote something? That prevents autopass from playing so the other can have a chance to reply... Or maybe you have the option to double? 4. februari 2009, 15:03:17 Ämne: Re: Auto pass Undertaker.: On the same sort of subject, i am playing in the latest Backgammon Team Tournament (5 points match with doubling cube), and it states in the games that AUTO-PASS is being used. Why does this not work when i have a piece off the board (on the bar) and all 6 points are covered so i can not get back on, BUT i still have to roll the dice  4. februari 2009, 14:55:05 Ämne: Auto pass Auto pass is an option that players can use or not, so i would like to know if there's the possibility to become this option compulsory for everybody, or at least for players with a high number of games like 500 or 1000, for example. I say that because i'm playing with ladiesmaninny32 a game with 7 days per move that started on August and until now he only did 6 moves...6 moves in 6 months. Problem is not 7 days per move, but he use holidays and when holidays of 2008 finished, he won holidays of 2009. And ladiesmaninny32 is only an example, there're more players to do the same thing. 31. januari 2009, 11:02:44 Ämne: Re: while we're at it... MadMonkey: Sorry, Monkey, you don't have the ears to compete with Spock. A rabbit, on the other hand... 31. januari 2009, 10:53:13 Just a little something for the weekend Fencer. Would it be possible (well i know everything is lol) but when we get a Team Match finished message through. Could you add the Team position to it please. e.g. Monkeys Swinging Madhouse: old BKR = 1152, new BKR = 1214 (+62) ..... HERE NULOVÁ ŠANCE: old BKR = 1116, new BKR = 1052 (-64) ..... HERE This would also be nice in just normal game over messages. Would save having going to Ratings and tracking the one down you want  31. januari 2009, 10:49:18 Ämne: Re: while we're at it... Ändrat av MadMonkey (31. januari 2009, 11:11:26) Fencer: I am by no means a good Chess player, but would love to give it a try  After all, if Dr. Spock in Star Trek can play it........i want to  lolSeriously, i think it would be a great addition. 30. januari 2009, 10:54:45 Ämne: #D another game which adds a new dimension is 3D connect 4 i am sure a lot of players will play it ... its played in a cube of 4x4x4 fields (you can use 4 game boards to play it, display them above each other) 30. januari 2009, 07:16:04 Ämne: Re: while we're at it...  nodnarbo: And that's the biggest problem of this game. What if I spend weeks to implement it and then nobody would play it at all?  30. januari 2009, 03:37:40 Ämne: while we're at it...  since we're on the topic of new games, I would like to se a 3-D chess variant added to this site. it literally adds a whole new dimension to the game. http://www.geocities.com/william_dagostino/ you can find the rules of one such variant here. I've unfortunately never played due to a lack of anyone wanting to play with me. 30. januari 2009, 01:36:00 Ämne: Re: joshi tm: I rather have games with a different game play than size variants on games, or yet another chess variant. Some examples:
29. januari 2009, 22:04:26 Let's do some more "critical" game requests ;) - Small Froglet (8x8) (for quiker frog games) (please make a frog section) - Large Froglet (16x16) (I like frogs!) - Large Attax (9x9) (makes a build up possible) - Very Small Espionage (6x6) (even small takes too long!) - Small Battleboats (6x6) (we just need another boat game!, of course, remove some ships to have same odds ( just only the 2 boat en the two 3 boats)) - A BB variant where you can choose among a number of ships. As long as all players have the same number of squares covered with ships. Think about 2x2 ships, 6x1, 3x2, more 1x2 etc. Just select any number at least one big ship (big ships allow to take very small ships) and others till you have 17 points covered (in normal BB game) - A Frog Finder variant without shooting. This time there are way more frogs (say, 31) in the field and if a players guesses a field, the square becomes uncovered. If the square is a frog, it reveals and the player scores. If it is a number, it reveals, but if its a zero, all squares next to that square are revealed. All zeros again will uncover the squares next to them. If you can recognise the rules, yes, these are the rules for the MSN play-for-two Minesweeper. Anyone for more ideas? 26. januari 2009, 21:23:59 Mah-Jong is a legend, I'ld like to give a great game with zillions of players a try. 26. januari 2009, 14:55:34 Ämne: Re: Mah-Jong MadMonkey: There are zillions of freely distributable games that include Mah-Jong based games. I'd be surprised if none of them had a license that forbid using just the graphics. For instance, the fanclub version of pysol includes Mah-Jong graphics, which are distributed under the GNU license. This means that Fencer can freely use them - the license would only mandate Fencer to do something if he was going to distribute the code of BK. 26. januari 2009, 12:42:19 Ämne: Re: Mah-Jong fukuhara: I played this years ago, and would love to try again. The main problem here would be the graphics i think We could do with fining a graphics expert to help Fencer design things. 26. januari 2009, 12:36:37 Ämne: Mah-Jong To lure more players from Japan and Asia. Introducing Mah Jong is a great idea I suppose. It is somewhat Asian counterpart to poker but with dice-like pieces with wide variety of scoring methods. 25. januari 2009, 02:20:11 Ämne: Re: Messages coan.net: THANKS! I never noticed that. I scoured my settings pages looking for a global option, but I never looked for a per-fellowship setting. That's great. 25. januari 2009, 02:08:48 Ämne: Re: Messages Ceiter: On the fellowship page, you can turn off fellowship messages from the BIG BOSS - there are a few BIG BOSSes who I feel use that feature way too much - well at least for my taste and I have almost that feature turned off in most of the fellowships I belong to. As a BIG BOSS myself, I try to only use that feature when I really need someone for a team tournaments. Regular messages - message about tournaments - Just post it in the fellowship message board. Every time there is a new message on the fellowship message board, there is a red (1) next to the fellowship name and I can read everything that way. 25. januari 2009, 01:53:29 Ämne: Re: Messages MadMonkey: I agree, that would be very nice. I'd like it to go a step further and add something else besides PMs to be used for fellowship owners to notify their members of tournaments, ponds, etc. I don't see why these notices should be mixed with personal messages. I get dozens of fellowship mass messages per day, most of which are simply tournament notices that I'm not interested in. Seems to me like a separate mechanism for this would make things a lot easier. Maybe a simple "new fellowship tournaments" section in the sidebar. Something that could be easily ignored if you're not interested. Of course, maybe I'm just in too many fellowships. I don't think I've turned down an invitation yet. I didn't see any reason to at the time, but the waves of unwanted messages I get are really becoming a bother, so I'm probably going to leave most of the fellowships soon. I think that's unfortunate. 24. januari 2009, 20:01:20 Ämne: Re: Game Idea coan.net: very nice idea .... 24. januari 2009, 12:14:09 Ämne: Re: Game Idea coan.net: I love the idea. But indeed, you should add extra rolls so the bankrol effect is greater. Add four rolls (to make 30) to the normal version and twelve to the TDP variant (to make 90). 24. januari 2009, 11:48:20 Ämne: Messages Just to agree with a couple of posts further down, and one i requested a while ago now. Messages, the inundation of them. All we need is a message filter like we use for emails. Those we want kept we can just let them stay in Inbox (or direct them to relevant folders) and those we do not, send to Trash 24. januari 2009, 11:26:19 Ämne: Re: Game Idea coan.net: I love this idea 24. januari 2009, 02:14:16 Ämne: Re: Game Idea grenv: With the dice poker games being a popular game on this site, I would love to see my idea of Bankroll Dice Poker (and Triple Bankroll Dice Poker) Bankroll Dice Poker - You start the game out with a bankroll of 26 rolls (78 for triple version). So you can use more then the normal 2 extra rolls for each round if you need to - but will run out by the end of the game - or use 0 or 1 roll to have extra rolls later on in the game. So if you REALLY need 5 in a row to catch up and have plenty of rolls left, you can roll extra times to try to get it. (I'm debating if it should be 26/78 - or add an extra 5 rolls to each to make the starting bankroll of 31/83 rolls for each game.) It would give the game a little more "skill" since you now have to decide how many rolls to waste on each turn... that is if you already have four 5's, do you keep wasting rolls to try to get the 5-of-a-kind, or save the rolls for other things. 24. januari 2009, 01:59:55 Ämne: Re: Game Idea Rainbow Road: There's already limited skill required, why remove a piece of it? 24. januari 2009, 00:03:50 Ämne: Re: "Show move buttons directly below game boards" Ceiter: I would like to add to that a long outstanding request (which I have solved using my own .ccs file but not very pretty) - and that is have the option to have a submit button ABOVE the game board. Most games I play, I play and then hit submit. Would be nice to be able to quickly do that without having to scroll down to find the submit button. (and in addition to having a submit button above the game board, keep one in it's current place by the notes & chat box so if I do need to leave a message, I can scroll down - do so - and still hit submit like normal.) 23. januari 2009, 22:33:27 Ämne: "Show move buttons directly below game boards" I'm not sure if this should be a bug report or feature request, so I'm putting it here and I'll let others decide if this is the way it's supposed to work. I was just looking at the settings page and saw an option called "Show move buttons directly below game boards". I had it checked (must've done it years ago and forgot the option existed). But it still does not show the move buttons directly below the game boards, which is what I'd really like. It goes game board > Player names/ranks/info > chat box > note box > move buttons. That's quite a lot between the board and the move buttons, and it means that I always need to scroll to finalize my move. The only difference the option seems to make is that it moves the game info block (that says the game type, tournament, time settings, etc) below the move buttons. That's an improvement, but it's still not "directly below game boards". If this is the way it's supposed to behave, I'd like to request renaming the option to be more clear and adding a new option to put the buttons DIRECTLY below the game boards. If this is not the way it's intended to behave, then I guess this should be a bug report. 23. januari 2009, 21:41:09 Ämne: Game Idea Dark Dice Poker... You play the game without knowing what your opponents score is? 20. januari 2009, 23:25:46 Ämne: Re: World News Ändrat av diogenysos (20. januari 2009, 23:29:24) MadMonkey: yes. of course you are right and it would be interesting to have all that discussed here. i just abused your thread to spread my opinion to the others... lol... but in fact maybe some sophisticated game-players around here may enrich that new-born "news-section" with critical comments - so we do not just follow the mainnewsstream here... - i would, at least, read the comments of that discussion board even with more interest that watching the "real" news on TV... ;-) 20. januari 2009, 21:17:53 Ämne: Re: New Chess Variant PAWN POWER ChessVariant: Hi, I tested this game with a very strong player at GameKnot ... I lost (of course, lol) 34 to 25 and this is what he wrote to me ... Hey Andrzej, Based on my experience of just one game, I think the strategic twist is interesting. I think (possibly) once one player is a solid pawn up, he can, with accurate play, ensure victory. This is true of chess, but even more so with pawn power chess because of the pawns' incremental values. Therefore the opening sequence and exchanges become crucial and the endgame less so (if it even occurs). In some ways it is the opposite of three checks chess; instead of sacs its rewards cautious positional play. There is no doubt that it 'works' as a chess variant. Maybe we can experiment with the points system and see how that affects strategy. Thanks for the games. It has been an enlightening few days! All the best Samie *** It's really exiting to play this "point version" of chess ... hope we can try it ... anyone ? Andy. 20. januari 2009, 12:16:06 Ämne: Re: World News diogenysos: It is sad but true as the saying goes I just think it would be nice to stay up to date with things going on all about the world. When i am work i have brainking on all the time, and as i have to wait for the phone to ring or a driver to call in i rarely have the tv on and also as it is a work pc i can not modify Firefox the way mine is at home (with RSS reader and toolbar, so the news is always there). It would be a common interest board (as in the Politics Board) for everyone 20. januari 2009, 10:42:03 Ämne: Re: World News MadMonkey: well - I will agree on your request for a discussion board about "world news" as soon as the chosen news really represent the "real world". How do i mean that? As an example, my now 7-year-old daughter does not want to catch the schoolbus for a while now. And why not? Cause she is linked to the "real world" by watching some news on a TV-channel every day - and no she is thinking that in the real world there is a bus-accident every day and - logically speaking - her schoolbus must have a daily accident, too...  Stopping my offtopic-opinion by telling all how angry I am on the people who are responsable to tell us what the real world is. 18. januari 2009, 13:17:13 Ämne: Re: Monster Tournaments joshi tm: Better post a link to the fellowship. The link you posted is language dependent, I see no results. Aventura But Abigaill's suggestion would make it easier to enforce the "must play all" rule and find out the global winner of the tournament. 18. januari 2009, 07:19:54 Ämne: Re: Monster Tournaments AbigailII: Want to play an http://brainking.nl/nl/Tournaments?trnst=2&utf=adventure&dom=-1 Adventure? 18. januari 2009, 01:42:14 Ämne: Monster Tournaments Currently, we have "random game" tournaments. The creator of the tournaments selects one or more games, and for each game between participants, a game will be randomly picked from the selected games. I'd like to propose a variant. Instead of randomly pick a game, a match consisting of all selected games is played. For instance, one may create a "monster tournament" with "Reversi", "Reversi 6x6", "Reversi 10x10" and "Anti Reversi" as the games. All players in the same section would play 4 games against each other - all the reversi variants. You'd score 0 - 4 points (so, if it's a five player section, you could score up to 20 points). All games would start at once (otherwise, tournaments would never get finished). Just don't sign up for a 20 player/section, 125 game "monster tournament", unless you can handle 2375 new games. ;-) 16. januari 2009, 11:17:56 Ämne: Optionally picking columns to display on the main page I'd like to be able to pick for myself what data columns I display on the main page, and be able to sort by any such column. For example, I , for myself, would like to add "last move time". Other people might like other info, or dislike some of it (such as "event", "colour", ...) What is needed is a checkbox page to be able to pick the columns to display. 16. januari 2009, 01:40:03 Ämne: World News I just had a thought. Its funny how many of us spend so much time on brainking (and other sites) we miss what is going on in the world around us. I have been at work an hour now, and was on my PC at home for a few hours before that. Now one of our customers has just told me about the plane crash in the Hudson river, that i had heard nothing about until now. Hence my request, we have discussion boards for everything else (virtually) here, how about one for World News I know we have General, but when you read some of the stuff that ends up on there, you just do not bother going there. Anyway, i think its a nice & useful idea to keep us in touch with the real world  14. januari 2009, 10:22:28 Ämne: Re: 2009 Wishlist As the newly made Big Boss of fellowships here, I want to stamp meness on them. I can clear my notepad at the click of a button. Could a button like that be added as a board feature so that they can be emptied faster? At the moment I have to click each post one at a time. Please and thank you. 13. januari 2009, 17:56:53 Ämne: Re: 2009 Wishlist AbigailII: I think one of the goals of an online game site is to make the games as much like real life game play... when possible. I think it would be better if people could not figure out what pieces they could move by just hoovering their mouse. But that would probable be a pain to program - and a good "medium" is just to keep that how it is now. (in my opinion. About automatically moving a piece when it has only one available move - I think this is OK since you are already clicking on the piece to move it, and like Chess - you have to move the piece to block a check (for example), so no matter what piece you click, if it can only go to one place to save the king - then that is a good time saver in my opinion. Sure, someone can go through and click every piece and learn where it might go and what might work best - not anything like what would happen in real life game - but (again, my opinion) - a good middle ground is how it works now. 13. januari 2009, 17:39:21 Ämne: Re: 2009 Wishlist coan.net: So, if you think it's a bad thing a person might learn what kind of moves he has available, do you also think Brainking should no longer move a piece automatically if the piece to be moved has only one available move? Furthermore, should Brainking make all pieces clickable, regardless whether they can actually be moved, to prevent someone finding out he has more moves available by either hoovering with the mouse, or by using the tab key to cycle over the clickable pieces? 13. januari 2009, 15:28:41 Ämne: Re: 2009 Wishlist AbigailII: I think Thad makes a good point. For example, I was playing the Camelot recently - and all I seen was a forced jump that was bad for me - so as I moved my mouse to make the move, I noticed that I could also click on a knight to move it - which after a few jumps of my own pieces, was able to make a better move. Now that is a rare thing for me to do - normally I would see only the 1 move and make it. If the system was to make all "forced" moves right away, I would quickly learn that if the system did not make a move for me, then I MUST have multiple moves that I could make, and would help me in my games. ======= Of course in "passing" situations where the person has 0 moves, I agree 100% that an autopass in those games would be very helpful. 13. januari 2009, 14:43:46 Ämne: Re: 2009 Wishlist Vikings: Well, all 'information' such a button (which would probably never materialize) would reveal is "you only have one move available', or, in its absence, 'you have more than one move available'. It's not going to reveal anything about opponents pieces, or whether you have more than two moves available. Not that I think it harms the opponent to show a player the list of available moves. A determined player can already find out all moves he/she can play; first by hoovering over his/her pieces (to see which pieces can be moved), then by clicking all moveable pieces and see which fields are clickable (destination squares for the pieces). << < 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 > >> |
