Onderwerp: Statistics
WOW - I just figured out if you go to the "game rules" of the games, there are Statistics there for the games!

For example, in Spider Line 4, White won 61% of the time, Black won 38% of the time, and draws .2% of the times!

Idea: Is there a way to put all the statisics for all the games on one page? Just one of those cool things I like to look at, but it's a pain to have to go through EVERY game's rules to find them. :-)

Plus, how long have they been there? I remember looking at rules not too long ago and I never seen them there. (which is why I'm posting this so others can check them out!)

i agree ..i would help out maybe if fencer could say if not how much maybe say how many more rook memberships woudl be needed to for the next upgrade...say for instanc if 20 more rook memberships would get him there..then 20 of us extend for another year now then let fencer figure out how to thank us...with a star or maybe just an extra motnh or two for free i know for me ill be playing here a long long time as long as im alive and kickign...hell if i go ill tell my kids to bury a laptop with me so i could still pout my games thru everyday...but anyways...i think if fencer was honest and gave us a round about figure we could help..the brain mariah membership thing ...thats too high for me..if i was rich i proabably would or if i made enough brains..but we all know i dont have any brains...well thats my 2 cents...

I, for one, would happily donate money if enough other people were going to, and it would actually accomplish something. What would it take, Fencer? I absolutely LOVE this site and will happily do my part to help out.

I think I confused things saying a 'higher membership level'. I didn't mean anything should be taken away from rooks, and I cant see that much could be added to what the rooks have now. But I do think some kind of gold star or symbol to acknowledge the extra support would be a good idea. It might encourage more donations, people like to see something for their money, even if its just a gold star!!

14. juni 2003, 18:59:56
coan.net 
Well you said something about charging more for people who run a Fellowship - and I guess my point is to not "take" anything away from the current Rook membership.

14. juni 2003, 18:55:40
Jason 
thats basically what i said BBW but instead of a gold star a different ranking showing that those who paid alittle extra to help the site out , star or ranking same idea , ;~)

14. juni 2003, 18:45:04
coan.net 
I personaly do not like the idea of another higher membership level to do some of the things that as a rook I can already do. (I already paid for a year as a rook for the things it does, so please don't take anything away from it.)

BUT - How about a higher membership level for more money. Possible call it an "Extra Friends" level or something. Maybe not give them anything extra (as in features), but for say an extra $10-$20, put a gold "star" next to their name so everyone knows that they support the site extra. So for people who can afford the extra money, and wants to help out the site even more - this gives them an option to do that.

You're right, Tony, thats a great idea Jason had about a higher membership level, maybe an Archbishop or Chancellor in line with the new Gothic Chess game we have here.
Maybe we should also have a 'fundraiser tube' on the front page, showing where we are up to and the target amount for a new server.
Positive suggestions about how to raise the money are far more constructive than complaints.

Onderwerp: Re: Full capacity
Harley - I suggested apid members taking precedence when the site got to fullcapacity and Fencer reasonably said that it was too late then; the site was already down. So what I am asking for here is that long-standing Pawns get 'retired' at 90% capacity, to make room for the paying guys. Look at Jason's message below.

14. juni 2003, 14:22:17
Sprietzsche 
Onderwerp: just a hought
does it make a difference for the capacity if we turn some options off (eg updating the number of games every 3 minutes)? If it does, i think there are be a lot of players who needlessly drain the cappacity without even realizing it. making it a "members only" option could also help of course ;)

14. juni 2003, 13:53:55

Onderwerp: one more thing
fencer how about inventing another title (eg pawn knight rook ) one higher than a rook for people ,for example who run fellowships ect , for an additional fee (but not too much ) just a thought on helping the bigger server fund ;~)

14. juni 2003, 13:46:41
Jason 
i agree with everybody this is a great site although it has its problems , i cant wait to be able to log on and be able to stay on here without being booted off , for people who work we get the worse end of it (in the uk anyhow ) i get home from work and cannot get on here most of the time untill its time for my bed . im not having a go at fencer at all but people who pay to come on here cant always do that !!
just thought i would have my say ...now i feel better lol

14. juni 2003, 00:23:31
harley 
Tony, I seem to remember that being suggested before somewhere, and the reply was that it would be too much for the server to work out who was a member and who wasn't? It was something along those lines! It just wouldnt be practical and would make things worse.

"Good things come to those who wait", and I think we have it pretty good now. Getting on at Fencer about the problem will only slow him down even more. He's well aware of it and doing his best for all of us.
I think Icon phrased it very nicely :o)

Onderwerp: Re: Full capacity
Fencer; may I suggest, though, that, when the site is approaching full capacity, Brain Pawns with over 3 months on the site, are 'retired' from that session. At least, paying members get to have uninterrupted access.

13. juni 2003, 19:00:41
Fencer 
Of course there is a way. But it costs money and requires more machines to balance the load and separate the paying and non-paying users. I currently don't have this money. We must work with the equipment that we have.
Is that acceptable answer?

13. juni 2003, 16:04:09

Onderwerp: Full capacity
I, too, am fed up with not being able to get on (or, worse, being closed off). There must be a way of enabling paid-up members to have priority; otherwise, this site risks losing all its paid-up members entirely.

I've found normally between 9pm and 12am GMT (approximately) i can't get it at all. Other than that, it works fine for me! :-)

11. juni 2003, 15:42:17
coan.net 
I mean I don't really have that big of a problem with the server being slow - Heck, a few months ago I predicted this would happen (that is when the server started growing too fast like IYT, it would have it's problems also.) Many people said "That's not going to happen", but I was right! :-)

But like I said, no big deal to me - I have games on IYT, DailyGammon & Pocket-Monkey to keep me busy while I wait for BrainKing.... I just don't like it when all my opponents have to wait so long for me to play sometimes. :-(

11. juni 2003, 15:33:23
harley 
What country are you in, BBW? In the UK, mine is fine most of the day, until about 7pm. Then for a few hours its difficult to get on. If you can get that to your own time it might help!
Hopefully Fencer will have the new server soon, and these will be problems of the past. In the meantime we just have to be patient. Its worth the wait I think!

Onderwerp: Full Capacity
Actually I have a similar question - that is when is the "peak" and "low" times for the server.

It seems whenever I get on to play many games, I will at least once or twice get the server is too busy message. Maybe if I knew when the "low" time was, I could try to play more games during that time and stay away during the "peak" time.

How many players cause the websit to go over 100%? (or is it due to something else?).

11. juni 2003, 10:30:25
harley 
Bernice, if Fencer did that then the friends list would be almost the same as the on-line opponents, and I for one have so many games going, if only a quarter of my opponents were online, it would take up a lot of my page to list them all as friends.
Its only one click to see who is online that you are playing. A lot of my friends here I dont have games going with all the time, and I think its nice to have them seperate. (Just my personal opinion!)

Now i know this isnt important...BUT

is there anyway you can automatically put all players that im playing with as FRIENDS ON LINE...

Tony, there have been many discussions about this on many different boards. And there is a very mixed opinion about it. I try to respect the way people play (and finish!) a game. Just finish the game and try to avoid that player in future, posting insults about people who play to the end will benefit nobody. :o)

Thank you Kevin! That was so generous of you! I am so excited!! Since the other two have shared their wonderful entries I will do the same.

Why I deserve a membership.......

1) I LOVE this site and love playing games here.

2) I am a stay-at-home mom/foster mom and playing here keeps my sanity.

3) Finally, and most importantly, having a membership would mean I would have more games and more chances of beating my brother (Big Bad Wolf).

Thanks for offering this membership to those of us who couldn't possibly win one!!

and here is mine entry ...


browsing to the zillion messages on the discussion board, i found yours. What drew my attention? Let me explain why the words "...why you deserve a membership" popped out in this this overkill in messages

-why: interesting ... its this kind of questions that haunted human kind for ages. I decided to read on
-you: who? me? Uh-ow, it is getting personal. now i certainly want to read on
-deserve: lazy as i am, i dont like the change in tone in this question. Dilemma: should i read on, or shouldn't I? I decided to give it a gow
-a: not much information here. Again faced with the dilemma: should I, or shouldn't I? The choise is harder this time, given the low gain I had making it the previous time. Going to make a cup of coffee to think things over...
ready, and I have decided: i'll read on.
-membership: huh? excuse me? on this cool site? What a twist. this made the question very interesting... hard to find an answer though... maybe i could try to prove to be worthy by trying to win the tournament?

There was a young man named Kevin,

He has offered a lot,

Any means of getting real even.

Im sorry but I just couldnt resist the opportunity of writing a stanza or two on this.
I hope you arent offended.
I dont have a real reason for not being a member apart from the fact I am a disabled pensioner and can't afford the $50AUS.
