Subject: Re: 10,000 move achievement

With ludo games you still have to "find" a piece to click.  I still think twenty or so unrated uncounted linetris games with a fischer clock of .1/.1/.1 will do the trick better than any game out there.  Just keep clicking in the bottom row and you can go forever...  literally...  or until one of you stops playing.  :-)

Bwild:  I have been using the same laptop since 2004 (I do need a new one and occasionally use my wife's computer for playing - like now) and I feel that the site is noticeably faster...  but, yes, I agree with you it could be equipment and the internet speed as well.

Subject: Re: Congrats to the new top movers!

Aganju: He played just under 3,000 moves in the last 3 hours, I noticed his high move count 3 hours ago and made a note of where he was at.  That means in those 3 hours he did a move every ~3.5 seconds on average...  CRAZY FAST.  I think he could do 20,000 in a day if he set his mind to it!  I remember five and a half years ago people were amazed at Pedro for getting to 8,759 moves in a day...  then that sparked a race to the top from a number of folks in the following months...


In all reality, I think this a testiment of how much faster the site is today than it was five years ago!

Congrats to balvan99 and ann67 for breaking the top movers record!  balvan99 is/was over 14,000 and ann67 is/was over 13,000 moves...  Amazing!

Subject: Re: Bug tracker

Fencer: I can understand how it is not necessary with one programmer...  For me, when I view the bugs (which I have done maybe once before) I get the sense that nothing is being worked on because I see bugs that are out there for 4, 5, or 6 years with an "open" status.  So, that was more my concern.  I suggest a simple note at the top of the bugtracker page alerting those like myself looking at it for the first time of just what you wrote below.


Additionally I feel that the priority on some of these bugs are way out of whack. You almost need to have a bugtracker "moderator" that realistically puts a priority on each bug.   Example... a priority of 1 for a smileys not working.  Really!?  LOL

Does the bug tracker (http://brainking.com/en/BugTracker) really have nearly 300 ACTIVE bugs!?


I realize there are about 5,000 pages on Brainking and another 5,000 different ways for something to break, but some of these have been open since 2004...  I don't understand why it would left open that long...

Has anyone else had trouble with their notepad?  For some reason when I click on the notepad link it brings me to a completely white page.  This only happens on the notepad page and it has been like that for a couple of months...  any thoughts?

Subject: Re: Polls feature
BadBoy7: Well; most of the time that should not be a problem. I think allowing the big boss and little boss the opportunity to delete those things would not be out of line if some people were to do that... for the most part the open field would allow for better polling answers, as the majority of the time someone does not want to answer to a specific choice; but would rather explain what they mean. The open field would allow for that.

Subject: Polls feature
I love the polls feature; I think it is a great addition that will be used by the big bosses a lot!

However, there are a few things that are missing.

1. There is no link to get back to the polls page.
2. The description does not show up with the name of the poll where you can make your choice of answers.
3. Can a bar graph be added based on the numbers?
4. deadline is based on BK time; can it be based on the users time? (same for tournies in general)
5. Can smileys be enabled?
6. What about an 'other option' where poll takers can supply their own answer?


That's all I have for now. Hope this helps! I am looking forward to writing polls so I can improve my fellowship. I am sure many other BBs feel the same!

Thanks,

Phil (rednaz23)

Where do we go to ask for a new game? I know there is a board around here somewhere specifically for it... but I haven't been able to find it! I believe it is on the brainking.info side, but I can't find it. Can someone post that link for us?

coan.net: I agree with you completely here... I am much more impressed by those who have a high winning percentage before someone who has 1,000 wins, but 3,000 loses... or even if they are even... :-)

Subject: Re:
TarantinoFan: Within that little red number is a lot of code. Particularily the website link to whatever game you have with each friend. There is also some html code to change the color of the font to red... so those things together may be causing a few extra moments of delay...

The thing to do to get rid of that little delay is to make all your friends not friends. You could also stay on top of all of your games, meaning less code pops up that you have to wait to load, and the final option is to nicely ask Fencer for a way to eliminate those individual things on the right side.... which would be a really nice feature... or a way to reorganize the side features to the way each individual person wants it organized... that would also be nice! I don't think it is a neccessity, but those are things that can always be done to give the individual more control of there main page... sort of like facebook! ...you can make it look like however you want! ...within reason of course.

Arctic Warrior: The same thing happened to me a couple of nights ago. I learned my lesson... I should always copy and save the whole profile to the notepad after I finish with a profile edit... that will solve a lot of time. :-) You could also save old versions of your profile there and can always go back to one of those... ;-)

Good luck in the future!

Any possible way to make a smiley flip* with a simple code before, after, or in the smiley code?

* For example: on BBW's profile you could have one of the wolves 'flip' so the nose is pointed in opposite directions on either side of BBW's name!

It would be nice for making cool messages and nicer yet for cool profiles!

Subject: match play
Well... I raised a lot of discussion with that one question... But, the answer gives me a sweet idea, and I don't care, I'll share it with all...

Match play, when played between two people, gives the advantage to the better player! Think about this, and it only makes sense! Say you have two players, one wins 80% of the time. Of course meaning the player that is not as good wins 1 out of 5, which over a period of x amount of games could mean a lose in BKR for the higher rated player.

However, during match play, a lose doesn't count, and the better player will almost always rise to the top. Think about it and it makes sense! I, from now on, will be playing much more matches, because an occasional (single game) lose to a person does a lot of damage, but an occasional lose in a match, means essentially nothing when I win the match!

The drawback, you have to play a lot more games to get a win, but in reality, the same amount of games (in a match format) CAN get you a higher BKR, because if implemented well, can mean less loses and a rise up the standings!

wooo.... look out BKR leaders! Just give me enough time to finish a bunch of matches and I'll be leading some of those standings! ...ok... not really.

15. April 2006, 07:46:03
rednaz23 
When scoring a match (say a first to 5 match), does it effect your BKR like a one game? Or does each game within the match effect your BKR?
