Nice works:

Do you mean asa feature request?

I think BK should implement Memorial Tournaments in remembrance of those who've passed away.

Hi
The feature where a player can offer a draw without making a move is something that may be applicable in games I am unaware of, however I have only experienced it being used by a particularly bad loser in a game of Amazons which I make reference to in my profile. I don't think it applicable to mention a name.

If the player was only allowed to offer this feature when making a move then the opponent will clearly see it on their next move and can agree or not.

But when done without the person moving, the opponent has no reason to go to the game and must rely on finding it in their private messages. While the player in question in my situation has done it since on every move and sought out other games with me from the waiting list and does it every move is a blight on the feature. I have no issue with him waiting to the last moment to move but findit an abuse of this feature. I should add that for new players to the site this feature is not easily discovered as a pawn.

In essence my request is this feature only be applicable when making a move and not without moving.

Thanks for your consideration.

Hello Fencer. Many of my games (8002929, 946993, 8003349, 8003405, 8008220 and 8006693) with standard vacation were lost due to timeout. I have 10 more vacation days left. How come?

Landrover:
We can see this variant explanation in my wall.Please visit my wall.

Can brainking feature the Pieces Function Exchanged chess variant ?

playBunny: Yes indeed.

playBunny: To get carrots, I'm sure.

Mélusine: Did you borrow my magic wand ?

I did - but I didn't use it to give myself a Rook!

crosseyed: How lovely for you. I think you have a secret admirer? Hugs know what I mean?

Lol. Yes, the door is open to that theory, among others.

crosseyed: Sometimes, I forget where I put it and some people take advantage of this situation.

Mélusine: Can anyone borrow it?

playBunny: Did you borrow my magic wand ?

heavenrose: who got you membership?

Good question! It came out of the blue, a complete surprise.

heavenrose: i am earn them

I was wondering how...

heavenrose:   I have already paid for it.

heavenrose: Someone more deserving than me, perhaps. :-)

Are you buying brains or earning them?

Carnie: I joined fellowships as a bishop. :)

Ah, That's interesting. So it's the fellowship info that needs to corrected. :-)

Doris, heavenrose, Carnie: Thanks for the kind thoughts but it's okay. :-) I only mentioned winning the Rook as an ironic joke. I'm in one of those decades-long tourneys but BrainKing goes on "suicide watch" starting next year. It's amusing in a way (yet sad as well) that some of these ancient tourneys might outlast the site itself.

(Just as an aside, I'm not sure that Bishops are eligible for Fellowships. The Paid Membership information suggests that they are but inside a Fellowship it says "You cannot join the fellowship because this feature is available for Brain Knight or higher membership level")

playBunny: Love those hugs..}  Hopefully it won't take that long for you to become a rook again.  I just posted a Backgammon Prize Tournament in one of my fellowships.  

Doris: Thank you. It's nice to be missed, although it makes me feel a bit guilty, too. ;o) Big hug, ((((((Doris))))))

I might start being more active here when I win a membership. I'm in a prize tournament that's just started a new round so, with luck, I'll be a Rook within three to five years. ;O)

playBunny: :}  So that's where you've been....I have missed your humor here..:}

playBunny: Okay. We have something in common too lol.

playBunny: impressive :-) thanks for the info. i would love to have this blocking filter for the discussion boards of brainking. i like to argue when it's worthy as well, but sometimes for me personally it isn't and i could avoid my nerves to blow up by using such a filter, but very rarely.

thx again for sharing your experience

speachless: "did you find such a filter that you use for daily gammon also for brainking? i'm interested in it"

I do have tweaks that I've written for BrainKing (and also Pocket-Monkey). One works on the Waiting Games page and calculates my BKR changes for wining and losing so that I know whether it's worth playing. Another was an auto-pass for Ludo ... because "someone" didn't give it to us! ;o) Another that I enjoyed when I had a membership was tweaks to the rating graph page that made it easier to change the date range.

I haven't done any tweaks for the BrainKing forums. It would be fairly easy to add the poster-blocking but I'm the kind to argue rather than hide someone. More likely people would be hiding me (except that I write helpful and humorous posts as well as flaming ones, so people would be in a quandary as to whether to hide me or suffer the arguing, lol).

It all became moot when I moved my "internet home" to DailyGammon as I stopped being active on the boards here.

crosseyed: "That was very clever of you to create that system for your own use."

Thank you. I've long been tweaking sites to make them easier. My best project along those lines was putting a graphical interface of a text-based vampire game. That might have become something that people would pay for but I lost it when my computer died and I didn't have the heart to rewrite it. Since then there are loads of programmers who can do what I do, as you can see by all the apps on your phone.

"You could sell that to people who seriuosly want to block people."

There's a handful of people who would have been interested and maybe a couple of them would have bought me a drink but it would be no money-spinner.
