I think 12x12 is a good size - if you make the board too small the skill involved decreases and the board layout (luck) plays a bigger part in it.

Number of moves would naturally be higher in longer (frequently a larger number of moves) games, and started and completed games will naturally be lower for longer games (for example, backgammon and Spider Line4 are shorter games, and checkers and froglet are longer games). I would say the number of players with either a provisional or established rating (or a certain number of completed games) - that's what they use on GoldToken.

2. septembra 2004, 20:19:09
rod03801 
I could be wrong, but I don't think it's a hint.. I think he is saying that he didn't say Froglet would surpass backgammon by next week. Perhaps further down the road..
I took it as a hint at first as well! I thought maybe a smaller board would be coming.. (I agree that the 12x12 might be too big)

2. septembra 2004, 20:01:08
coan.net 
What didn't you say would happen next week?

Oh wait... it's a hint!

2. septembra 2004, 19:55:33
Fencer 
I didn't say it would happen next week :-D

2. septembra 2004, 19:36:08

It would be very hard to outgrow backgammon for 2 main reasons:

1) Board is too big / Game is too long. Some people will play fewer games since it takes longer to complete. If for example there were 6x6 or 8x8 versions of the game (would have to think more about what would be best) - but with a 12x12 board - it will lose some players.

2) Backgammon is a classic popular games which many knows how to play. Froglet is a new unheard of game which only some players will try (and if they don't catch on, may quit before playing any more games.)

BUT Froglet will get the type of people who like the "outbreak" type games on that other GT game site, so that is a plus.

2. septembra 2004, 19:29:02
harley 
I usually go on game rules and see the number of finished games to judge popularity. But I guess it could be measured by any of those :o) And I think froglet might just outgrow backgammon!

2. septembra 2004, 19:24:59
coan.net 
Froglet won't outnumber Backgammon... my guess is it will grow just a little faster then Battleboats Plus - and probable settle in there around the Backgammon Race or Crowded Backgammon level in it's popularity. (again, just my guess.) :-)

I've always kind of measured it by the number of people who have a established rating. But then it is hard to judge games which have not been here for awhile - so then it would probable have to be something based on started games or something

2. septembra 2004, 19:20:24
Fencer 
I will probably add it to Statistics page.
Because I want to see how quickly can Froglet outnumber Backgammon :-D

2. septembra 2004, 19:16:26
rod03801 
Maybe all of those criteria? Games that are high in most of those categories are obviously the most popular?

2. septembra 2004, 19:11:39
Fencer 
Subjekt: Game popularity
How would you measure a game popularity? Number of started games, number of finished games, total number of played moves, finished games per day, number of players who played at least 10 games of this type?

Subjekt: good question bwild
LongJohn opened the QWERTY girl account and joined a pawn tournament and won. Then he accepted a knight membership for his second (bogus) account.

This is not speculation on my part. LJ told me this himself and proved it to me. I'm not the only one that knows about this. I thought that was against BK user agreement (not to mention the fraud of accepting a membership prize for a prohibited second account).

You might have to start a new one...

2. septembra 2004, 16:02:20

ok, i added the teams..but I can't seem to add them to the tournament. Is there any way to do so or do I have to start a new one?

2. septembra 2004, 15:59:14
redsales 
duh! thanks harley!

2. septembra 2004, 15:15:22
harley 
redsales, it was for your fellowship wasn't it? I just created the new games at HOME and they went through fine. Have you created teams for these games? That could be the problem.

2. septembra 2004, 15:09:00
redsales 
Possible bug or my stupidity: i just created a tourney with all games but couldn't seem to add the new ones because they weren't given as an option to be checked. Bug or dumb me?

I'm glad you brought this subject up,LongJohn.
I'm wondering,how any self respecting member here could morally allow another member to pay for a membership for a multi nic? I dont think a member of this caliber has any right to ask about anther members activities.Do you?

2. septembra 2004, 14:06:15

ARE BACK!!!! (Thanks Fencer!)

And first victim - erm - interviewee - will be... *drum roll please* .....

BIG BAD WOLF!!!

I'm going to start off with a completely clean sheet so there are NO old questions stored. Anyone who wants the same questions asked at each interview, send me them again. Any question you would like put to BBW, send it to me, and please add if its ok to use your name with the question. Some people like to stay anonymous and if you don't tell me I won't know!

Thanks Fencer and Sinay. That's excellent.

Big chances. Sinay already made smaller board pieces for Alquerque, I will try to add them tonight.

Subjekt: Alquerque
Does anyone else find the graphics on Alquerque take a while to load? I'm on a 150kb modem, and use 1024 x 768 pixels screen definition, but the game board takes much longer to load than any of the other games and the actual board itself seems quite a bit larger.

Fencer, I love the new games! Any chance the Alquerque and Jarmo board graphics could be made smaller for faster loading times?

Blaze

Linda, you gave me a list of questions and said "please include them with every interview". I didn't go through them all each time to see how appropriate they were to each person being interviewed. I had a template with questions people had asked me to include on each one (that would normally be appropriate no matter who it was) and I built off that for new questions I received.

2. septembra 2004, 12:43:48
Fencer 
Subjekt: Re: Interview with Kevin
I've just published everything I'd received.
But I think the problem is that some people had created "universal questions" for all future interviews.

I just finished reading the interview with Kevin. For the record I DIDN'T ask one question.

Reply:It's really my first name :-)

Kevin, nothing to do with you. I think you're a wonderful young man, but you know that I've told you myself. Just like I knew your name was Kevin.

Fencer and Harley DO NOT attach my name to any more interviews.

Bernice, I'm not quite sure what happened at moneybookers the first time I used it! I was sat with my mobile, but it all went through without a text.
The first time I used the site, I think I clicked the wrong thing, I tried to 'pay by credit card' instead of another option? I think you're supposed to click on 'pay through a moneybookers account' (or similar) and then enter your card. It was some simple mistake like that I made, and I nearly gave it up and didn't go back! But I'm glad I did. Now its set up, payments are simplicity itself. (Just what I need!) If you want to give it another try, have my email or an IM window open and I'll go through it with you. It IS possible without a mobile number! (And if they absolutely insist, you can use mine!)

what a wonderful gesture :0) and thank you so much
No way would I take any of your time so I could be a member, thanks you so much.
Harley offered to assist me, but I have decided that BerniceC will no longer be a paid member...all games are currently ebing finished and thank you to all that have suffered my pathetic game ratings, but I do it for the enjoyment...
Again thanks for the offers that I have had, but Im not playing as BerniceC again after the current games are finished.

BerniceC just a thought could u not send out a money order to Fencer and maybe the time laps Fencer could take 1 of my weeks to fill in ur time. Tell it would get there. Or what ever they have like that downunder. But if they don't have money orders. U could just mail it to me and I would be glad to get 1 for u. In November that is what I'm hoping to do.

How do you finish the transaction on moneybookers?

They tell you that a number will be sent to your phone and you have to put it in before the transaction is complete....this is why I couldnt use it...I used my GF phone but we never got the confirmation code??

Im confused??

Nothing new I know but..... LOLOL
Even whisperzQ had trouble with moneybookers, and he said it costs australians to use it..
Oh well..no worries now

Awwwww, what a nice gesture. You just don't know how much it's appreciated! I think I'll be ok. I've got a lot of days left. I'm not sure about anyone else here.

The way it's looking now, Backoff and the east coast is probably going to be the one this time in the direct line of the storm. It's looking like all of Florida will be getting a part of this one in the next few days. Only time will tell where it comes in and how bad it will be. Maybe we'll get lucky and it will die out! :o)

flooz, just come on out to Texas. I'm sure Toast and I can stash you somewhere!

As far as Moneybookers.... I've found it works really great, Fencer gets the money within seconds it seems, and I get the text message to my cel fast. I still dont understand how a text message is supposed to be a receipt, but it works. I use it now for all payments that people send me.

Hey Backoff! You missed out on Charley, and you can keep Frances!

They just announced on the news that evacuations are starting here again tomorrow morning.

Unfortunately, many of the shelters in this area that were used for Charley have been destroyed or are unsafe here. If we get the winds that they are predicting for this area from this storm, we are going to have some major problems. Everyone here is struggling, and just trying to get through day by day as it is.
