Would like the option of setting the prize to a year membership instead of just brains. Put a minimum number of players(please increase to 30+) and if more then minimum enter the cost to enter starts to drop for each member in the game.

Right now the only option is set at 100 entry for a tournament like this. Free 1 Year Membership for first 2 places but there is no reason it couldn't be cheaper if 100 want to play.

Final prize should still be brains though just of the amount needed for membership

Относно: Re: For All Games....
ketchuplover: It is funny how there a couple of players who do draw requests in games where there are no way to have a draw like backgammon and ships games. My thought is they just don't want to play the game anymore and are trying to end it without losing the game. Otherwise they are dumb or being an annoyance. If it is a player that always does this, I just ban them from playing games from me. I also ban players who take like 5 of the same games out of the waiting games area so I get stuck playing the same player and not a variety of players. I clearly post in the message to take one match per player at a time but some just don't care.

ketchuplover: Although it is psychologically annoying, this site allows you to treat draw requests as non-existent, since you can ply your move without having to go through draw-denial windows.
Most of the time, a request to your opponent to stop offering draws because you wish to play on will work. At least with mentally stable opponents ;).

I would appreciate an optionnal board when playing for analyse, in order to "think with fingers" as one says OTB.
If I am not clear enough, this optionnal board can be seen at Chess.com while playing.

pgt: Actually it's already round 2. Considering one of them is now a pawn and therefore (slowly) decreasing the number of played games, I would say it will be a bit faster from now on. Moreover, they are still active players and, in their section, one of them will pass to the next round. I think a feature like the one you ask would only be useful in tournaments with no control, since some of them have players that do not log in the site for years.

GoodFoods' 6th Broiling Backgammon Invitational (Backgammon)
It's 9 (NINE - that's NINE) YEARS (YEARS, not weeks or days - YEARS since this tournament began, and there are still TWO players playing THE FIRST ROUND!! I'm 75 years old now, and fear that I'll die before I am eligible to play in another tournament, if I don't die before the end of the first round. Is there anything anybody can do to speed things up?
Could we have a feature which would just purge the two players who have not finished, so the rest of us can get on with the tournament while we are all still alive?

Aganju: Since there is already a system that removes brain pawns at the start of a tournament if they do not have enough free slots for the games, I thought that it is already solved.

Aganju 
Относно: Re: Inactive players and Tournaments
ThunderGr: Sounds good, but it could lead to a contradiction - if the tournament has a minimum number of participants (most do), and the removal reduces the number below that, the tournament would not start. But if it doesn't start, those people should not be removed. But if they are not removed, it would start, and they would be removed And so on.

Of course there are simple solutions for this, I was just pointing out the issue.

I do not know if it has been proposed before but I think that automatic removal of players that have signed up to a tournament but are inactive for 30+ days at the start of the tournament would help avoiding the phenomenon of people simply not showing up to play in a tournament they have registered for.

Относно: Re: Average time to move
ThunderGr: The problem with Fischer clock is that it negates vacation completely - and sometimes I want to make a real vacation, and I need 6 days without internet access, and then I lose all games, no matter how fast I play all year.
Therefore, when I make games/tournaments, I allow a significant build-up of Fischer-clock-time.

There is no perfect way to define the game speed that pleases everyone and considers such situations. That is why I proposed to show that number below; that way you can identify and sort out the players that produce the lag.

Относно: Re: Average time to move
Aganju: tournaments that use the Fischer clocks like my 20 20 tournaments are very good at chasing up the slow players without having to go to any trouble at all. Maybe tournament creaters should consider using them more often. Once somebody's starting time has run out, they've got to make 1 or even 2 moves a day. Problem solved.

Променен от Aganju (15. февруари 2015, 05:57:17)
What about this? For each player, show on his profile the average time games sat with him until he moved for the last 10000 moves.
(that means the time passed from when his opponent moved till he moved)

This would be very helpful to see which players typically delay tournaments and which not, so others could selectively weed some slow players out (or avoid them), if they care about their tournaments taking years.

For a player that comes here once a day, this would probably show 24h; for a player that plays more often, less than that.
For the typical 'lagger', it should be weeks.

Относно: a new game idea-Painted Dice Poker 6D
I suggest another Dice Poker variant that I dreamed up.

Painted Dice Poker 6D
This variant is practically identical with the Dice Poker 6D version.The differences are listed here:
the dice can come in any of 6 colours at random on a roll.red,blue,green,yellow,white or grey.

these additional scores come in this variant
1 dice of each colour-80
all dice one colour-80
Painted Full House (3 dice with the same number and colour+ 2 dice with the same number and another colour, and those two numbers must be different-65
Painted Full Car (2 dice with the same number and colour+ 2 dice with the same number and colour+ 2 dice with the same number and colour, and those three numbers & colours must be different) - 55
Painted Full Hotel (3 dice with the same number and colour+ 3 dice with the same number and another colour,and those two numbers must be different) - 70

what ye all think?

correction:

a lines of action variant in which a player can move a piece to a square which is occupied by an opponent's piece, it is not remove from the board.but it is moved to the edge of the board in a straight line along the the route the piece was moved.If another piece is in the way,it jumps over it and continues to the edge.If a piece exist at the edge,that piece is bumped off the board and can be re-entered to only that spot on the board in place of a turn.this can not be done if the spot is NOT occupied.

Относно: a really new game idea--lines of action variations
I have some suggestions for some really new game ideas--some lines of action variation-rules are the same as the regular game,plus some changes.
( I just dreamed these up now)

lines of action-pool shot:
a lines of action variant in which a player can move a piece to a square which is occupied by an opponent's piece, it is not remove from the board.but it is moved to the edge of the board in a straight line along the the route the piece was moved.If another piece is in the way,it jumps over it and continues to the edge.If a piece exist at the edge,that piece is bumped off the board and can be re-entered to only that spot on the board in place of a turn.this can not be done if the spot is occupied.

lines of action-clone:
a lines of action variant in which a player can move a piece to a square which is occupied by an opponent's piece, it is not remove from the board.but is changed to the opponent's colour.

lines of action-antimatter::
a lines of action variant in which a player can move a piece to a square which is occupied by an opponent's piece, it is not remove from the board.but both pieces are removed from the board.(the attacking and the defending piece)

I hope our fearless leader sees these,some feedback would be interesting.

Fencer: I'm just going out on a limb here, but would it be an idea to feature a donation box on the main page, or within the 'support us' section?

With the addition of a donation box, people that are enthusiastic can support brainking financially, even if they can't afford (or have allready bought) a membership. I for one, wouldn't mind chipping in every now and then.

Perhaps the additional income could somehow simplify matters concerning the future of Brainking.

Cloning Backgammon (diogenysos gegen dr_Brainsurfer)

Wow! A cloning gammon game "gifted" to me 300 points in one move.
Well I am not reporting this to the bug-tracker as I know now we are just paying people without any rights!

Aah, by the way, before someone is mentioning "flame wars" against Fencer now (again) I have to tell you I was writing him a fair E-Mail a couple of weeks ago but - as always - there is no response.

For me as a 12-year BK member, long-term-non-profit traducer and helper (well, many of us helped this site grow a lot without getting back a lot of respect) this is more and more disappointing because a game site without fair games is no longer a game site. Not many places in the business world give the boss the opportunity to treat his clients that bad without consequences :-(

So as a "feature request" I am officially requesting a money-back-system and/or the change of the ownership!

I am not happy to write this, but I am not the only one who tried to communicate with respect and moderately with the "servide provider" and one day even the best patience must have an end.
