Justaminute: I agree 100%. I was also wondering about the tournaments mess. However, I think that any limitation about the number of tournaments should go with the ability to save the game types in the template. As it is, you must check one by one all the games you want *every single time*, as they are not saved with the template.
beach: I assumed it was people joining lots of tournaments while still being a paying member and then becoming a pawn. If people start thousands of tournaments after becoming a pawn it seems like a strange thing for the "powers that be" not to care about.
The tournament page is a complete mess anyway. I assume this is why there are endless tournaments created by the same people? Making the change would tidy up the tournanment page as well I hope.

speachless: fencer said about a month ago he was going to fix the problem, I know it still isn't fixed because several pawns are still taking advantage of being able to create lots of tournaments before they become a pawn play unlimited amounts of games.
Fencer said he would fix the problem as it wasn't fair to us paying members, but so far nothing has been changed I agree its not fair
Hmmm, it's really sad (but not too surprising) to see that some people will always try to exploit the system. Very well, it can be fixed this way:
1) A user cannot have more than, say, 100 tournaments in the "open" section of the Tournaments page. Do you want to create more? OK but wait until some of your tournaments start.
2) If a user membership expires, tournaments created by them (in the "open" status) will be automatically deleted, except the prize ones with prizes already provided.
3) Regarding the single eliminations tourneys, that might be a bug because pawns should not be allowed to sign up for another tournament if they are already playing (or signed up) another one. But the code is really old (8 years?) so I am not sure about that. I'll look at it.
Anything else? Sorry, I am totally consumed by other projects so I could easily miss other issues mentioned in this conversation.
ThunderGr: I know I freaked out when I first started playing here and the Go Moku pieces were Xs and 0s and I was like the w..t..f..is this? lol Then, I eventually was able to change the pieces to normal ones. Game boards vary with each site so you have to find what works best for you.
JerNYC: I found it. Thank you. It appears that it will change the background color of all games boards, though. I would like to know for certain if it will work, though, because if it doesn't, I will have to resign the game. It is totally unplayable for me. Perhaps the shogi board should have another default square color. How can anyone play it like that?
ThunderGr: When I go into the layout area, I specifically see an option to change the color background. There's a default and then there's a palette where you can pick a color.
JerNYC: The layout options get you to your settings layout. There, you can only change the general site layout. For the shogi options, you only have the options to change the size of the pieces, just like the rest of the chess-like games.
Hi all! Is it only me that thinks it is a chore to play Shogi here with this "white pieces over white squares" board on this site? I like shogi but I find it very difficult to play it here. Is there any way someone can change square colors on the board, at least?
Next one - FC wit 5days/8hours/30days Last move of my opponent - 23. march 2014, 1:27:47pm. My timed out - 23. march 2014, 1:50:02pm HOW IS IT POSSIBLE??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
This is what has inspired the creator of backgammon and what design has invested in the construction. .... At the core of the game is put the time : That 's a tray - symbolizes the unity of the year. Four corners of the box - a symbol of the four seasons . Opposite 2 x 6 compartments inside the panel - are actually 12 months a year. The sum of all pieces of 30 - as is the average number of days in one month. The color of the pieces - black and white , represent day and night. And opposite 2 x 12 units - are 24 hours a day.
Carpe Diem: There is a time since you last played that type of game for a pawn it is a month before you're removed and 3 months for paying members before they are removed from the rankings.

I'm wondering what prevents someone from being ranked in a game. For example, I noticed that Tenuki, who has excellent ratings in pretty much every game, is ranked in very few of them.
Fencer: I just checked the link, I assumed if you posted the link, it was the correct one.Adelle - Skyfall? not the link I sent, but I do appreciate a good sense of humour.Can you please correct it with the 10cc video link I sent.
Thanks for your patience players invitation to me for games but now I can not accept them until it was paid member.Thank you all participated in discussion. According to me is not possible in any event to create bug appears and igra4ka be recorded . since Igra4ka is one of the organizers of the Bulgarian discussion site probably enjoys some advantages , that knows the program code of system.Friendship is friendship , but the cheese is money / Bulgarian proverb / .As is so eager to play in tournaments to pay like everyone.Interesting why not respect the organizers of the Bulgarian company and website on brazen respect to all registrants in BrainKing. I suggest that the organizers of the Bulgarian discussion site to change and reprogram the system with more safeguards to no such problems in the future.

Fencer: Hi Fencer We have also the issue in Crowded- and Cloning-Backgammon. The additional or cloned pieces aren't counted for a gammon if still outside at the end of the game. It means i got 2 points instead of 3 or 5 for a gammon. BK makes a difference if the pieces outside are catched or cloned/additional... Do you have a possibility to fix that?
Fencer: Yes, the mods have informed me that you apparently are the only one who can either see, or update my profile submissions.I have just submitted an update ,can you please do the deed

beach: "Now the tourney section is a joke, you cannot find any tournaments and they stay on the list for 30 days after they start. "
Actually you can find new tournaments still, you just have to be a bit more creative in your search terms than before.
Every day when I log in (when I remember anyway!) I now visit the tournament page, and then modify the "Created in last" to 2 days (I am not sure what it means by 1 day or 2 days...is it the last 24 hours for a day, or the last Czech time zone day. Therefore I pick 2 days).
The list is usually(!) very short, and I never have to scroll to see what else is out there....
coan.net: lol I spoke to fencer months ago when I noticed the problem, and ask if he could fix it, He told me he would try but that he was very busy with other things. Nothing ever got done so I gave up asking
(sakla) If you want to play a game with an opponent of a similar level, you can define a required BKR range for a new game invitation. Then nobody with a BKR outside this range will be able to see/accept it. (Katechka) (Bütün ipuçlarını göster)
