AbigailII: Do you know HTML? If so, grab the code from the settings page and add a game id 103 to it, then select to accept invites for that game. When Fencer adds a new game, this has to be changed again.

If you want, I can give you more detailed instructions in a PM.

Subject: Re: action points
Fencer: somebody who knows my real name can use the action point statistics (which is stored "forever") to gain insight into how often I play games (instead of doing something else, for example). At least that's more related to privacy than some other options you have implemented.

However, I'm not going to argue this any longer; it's your site and you choose what to do; I hope I've said my opinion clear enough so this is my last post on the topic.

combining data from the brains and the paid membership pages:
- I could pay 18 euro for a year brain knight
or
- I pay 18 euro to get 540 brains, 500 of which I use for a year of brain knight and still have 40 brains

harley: As a pawn I only have 5. I haven't used them this year and I'd like to set them now for the christmas holidays, but if it was possible to carry them over I'd rather do that to get 10 days next year.

Subject: Re: How do i do it ????
kondiau: As a pawn you cannot delete games, but you can resign it. If you resign at the beginning you won't lose bkr, but it will be listed in your win/loss statistics. Alternatively you could nicely ask Fencer to delete the game for you.

Subject: Re: Stairs................
Fencer: when there are three empty stairs behind the player, he can't challenge anybody, until someone else climbs up. (I don't like the idea of compressing the stairs, if a player is at the top, others will try to reach him, thereby closing the gap.)

Subject: Re:
pauloaguia: The fact that you can now start games where vacation days don't count might make it easier on the pawns.

Only for future tournaments. Pawns stuck in old tournaments will be stuck much longer

16. June 2005, 10:56:20
Luke Skywalker 
BTW, I don't care, but I think a lot of pawns will be against the possibility to buy extra vacation days. It would create a problem for the old slow going tournaments.

the boards have been combined, but where are the messages? e.g. one of the backgammon boards had 27 messages and I had planned to read them at some time. Are they gone? The backgammon board doesn't show anything unread for me.

Flake: That's exactly what Sumerian does. (read the next 200 posts, it's all there).
In the case of the tournament, he was invited by the tournament creator (who knew about SMIRF)

24. February 2005, 15:51:41
Luke Skywalker 
He (Sumerian) already said that he always tells people when he plays with them. In the case of the tourney he was invited by EdTrice, so it would be Ed's duty to tell the other participants

Since you don't seem to make a secret out of it, could you show the number of vacation days a user has on the profile?
