<< < 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 > >> 13. June 2004, 16:57:49 It works fine because the stronger play wins by the proportion predicted by the ratings. The idea of ratings for backgammon is nonsense and I dont imagine anyone gives a hoot about them. 9. June 2004, 15:27:11 http://paranormal.about.com/library/weekly/aa051302a.htm 9. June 2004, 00:12:29 Okay, got it. It's like fun if fish could swim in the sky. 9. June 2004, 00:02:30 It's fun that I can read my own messages even on boards on which I'm barred, it would be cool fun if I could read the messages of any and all members who were barred. 1. June 2004, 06:00:32 Subject: Andersp I get the impression that Fencer likes to think and decide before answering, maybe that's Czech style, in any case it seems like no bad thing to me. 28. May 2004, 16:21:52 Perhaps Fencer could post two lists on which members with strong preferences enter their own names, a fast list and a slow list. 28. May 2004, 15:12:07 Subject: IMupChucKing What do you think time limits are actually for?? So you can filter you opponents by speed of play!! 28. May 2004, 14:40:21 Subject: IMupChucKing What do you want to play? Just send me your challenges and I'll play fast, okay? 28. May 2004, 13:56:57 Go to the ratings list for the game of your choice, select a suitably strong player, check how many games they're playing, at what time limits and when they were last online. If they seem okay for you send a challenge with a note explaining your feeling about time management. Would be a lot simpler than to keep bringing this nonsense up as if everyone else should comply. 28. May 2004, 13:26:43 The number of people who both want to play quickly and suffer a fear of timing out must be pretty small, get together in a fellowship. It could be called "quick games with slow time limits" or similar. 28. May 2004, 09:31:09 I've completed 1196 games, apart from some tournaments these have nearly all been at 4 or less days/move, in only 1 out of all those games did an opponent time out and request the game be re-instated (a 3 day/move game), this is not even worth considering a problem it's so entirely insignificant. 28. May 2004, 09:24:18 What if a person is playing slowly but winning all their games? Tournament creators choose the time limits so it is completely nonsense for those same creators to claim that anyone is moving too slowly. 28. May 2004, 07:45:07 Subject: Rogue Lion Last night there were several games of chess at one day per move in the waiting games, there's only one left. 28. May 2004, 04:37:28 Form a fellowship for players who'll forgive each other if one times out, then should such a case arise ask Fencer to re-instate the game. 28. May 2004, 03:52:31 If timing out worries you so much, play unrated games. 27. May 2004, 08:22:27 It would be nice to be able to personally arrange one's completed games. For example if they could be grouped by colour, opening, etc it would make them much easier to peruse. 27. May 2004, 07:31:38 I'm another person who thinks this is an outrageous amount of fuss over a non-existent problem. If people want to play quickly but choose games with seven day time limits ? ? ? ? For sure I dont want to have to consider what the concealed time limit of a game or an event is because a few members have a morbid fear of being unable to access the site. The concept of a time limit is dead simple and there's nothing wrong with it. The only meddling that appeals to me is the option to remove weekends from tournaments. 26. May 2004, 16:40:36 Subject: Backoff My quick calculation gives you 63% success with white and 56% success with black at tablut, a 7% difference but I make you favourite with either colour. 23. May 2004, 20:37:31 How about a facility whereby posts are rated and the social side also enters the game/competitive mileau? Could save on the endless repetitious nonsense about politicians. 23. May 2004, 18:25:46 Do they have several players per rung? As personal style is a factor it would be tiresome to be continually faced with the same opponent. 19. May 2004, 09:53:48 Subject: Caissus The vacation days get used up so it's not a major problem, is it? 14. May 2004, 21:15:38 Sorry Sir, one more thing. After accepting a game from the waiting room I'd like to be returned to the waiting room rather than my main page. 14. May 2004, 19:21:20 At the top of the waiting games box, similar to the figure above the active games box. 14. May 2004, 19:16:10 I know but I have to count them to see how many they are (I think) could I have a figure such as exists with my active games? 14. May 2004, 19:01:52 When viewing a members profile would it be possible to see their waiting games? Also it would be nice to have a total waiting games figure on my main page, please. 1. May 2004, 23:21:02 Can we have a function that filters out drunken moves? Activated by some kind of inability to enter correctly after three(?) attempts. 1. May 2004, 20:11:47 Lythande: Thanks for the elucidation.
Fencer: How about more flags? At the moment there are five(!) for the UK but none for Europe. There's one for Tibet but none for Saminsk, none for various Pacific states, etc. 1. May 2004, 03:10:34 Subject: Lythande I dont get your meaning. Are you suggesting that a tournament's conditions include two time limits? One preferred and one "emergency"? If such is the case how do you define the emergency? If a person genuinely suddenly cant get on there must be a serious reason, eg a hurricane cuts of all electicity throughout the city, and I'm quite sure Fencer would reinstate games that timed-out in such conditions. 16. April 2004, 09:06:22 It's no big problem to press the move button and naturally you dont get the option for your opponent's move so what's the fuss about? 14. March 2004, 16:49:43 I think it would be very nice if we could distiguish between "viewing online" and viewing "opponents online" when we ourselves view. 11. March 2004, 17:06:45 Have there been any complaints about unwanted comments on non-private games in progress? Personally I'd like all games to be public or at least the private games become public once they're finished. 11. March 2004, 06:36:42 I didnt mean the deletions, about which I agree with you and IMupChucKing, and if, as your later post suggests, you've changed your position on "Who is on-line" I retract my enquiry. 7. March 2004, 17:48:43 One can presently search a player's archived games just for games with oneself, it would be nice to be able to select just the games with any specified user. 7. March 2004, 17:40:24 How about if BrainKing had a jukebox? The winner of a game gets a token to stick on a disc of their choice. 5. March 2004, 03:45:53 Subject: Big Bad Wolf et al I think the view online players is a great feature and I really wouldn't want to lose it, I cant see any way in which it can be considered an intrusion of privacy. Because there's been a bad experience with one member isn't any justification for removing a feature that is generally helpfull for all members, after all, if someone wants to pester you they'll find a way to do it anyway. 29. February 2004, 19:18:44 Subject: LongJohn Reality is that you assume that being right has a special degree of objectivity where you're concerned, it's not the case, plenty of people disagree with you on all the things you feel are self evident. That's life. 12. February 2004, 13:42:18 Could we get a "delete messages" button at the top of the messages page as it's likely to be new messages (finished games) that we want to delete. 12. February 2004, 07:30:42 Because it has no relevence but effects attitudes. If you want to know your opponents rating you can visit their profile. 12. February 2004, 07:21:29 In unrated tournaments how about not displaying any ratings? << < 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 > >> |
