Snoopy: I would not mind doing a general "what features would you like to see on BrainKing" poll (which of course is just opinion, and not neccessarly anything Fencer will do for the site - but just a tool to help see what the general opinions are.)

Can anyone think of features requests that should be added to a poll if I were to make it?

An optional auto-pass / auto-move system which will make a pass or only move if none others are available. (with each person having the option to use it or not use it.)

Byes in elimination tournaments to allow them to start without getting them totally full.

In Gammon, being able to tell the difference between "race" & "bar" pieces

Allowing tournaments to start the next round once the winner is determined, even if all games are not complete yet.

Allow a player to set a maximum number of game limit for themselves

Be able to set a limit to the number of vacation days that can be used in certain games/tournaments. [for example, a tournament where vacations can be used, but only up to 5 days worth - more then that it is a time-out]

Set a BKR limit in ponds

New set of parameters in ponds (like starting with only 10 players - setting different amount of bonus or starting points)

Being able to show the "Move List" for certain games that it is needed - while keeping it hidden for others where it is not needed.

Anything else anyone can think of that I should add to the poll if I were to make it?

If I get enough ideas - maybe I'll make it so you can pick the top 2 or 3 ideas (and not just the top one - since myself, I would like to see many of the listed requests)

coan.net: One that i would like to see is cosmetic more than anything else. I think when playing a Team game there should be more to distinguish them from a normal game.
I think all info shown on the page should be Team related. At top the title of the Tournament or challenge match, Team BKR & Rating and also the flag displayed should be the Fellowship flag you are playing for

Just something small that would look nice and help make them stand out a bit. I know i spend more time concentrating on Team games then others.

coan.net: That is a nice list.... most of those features should be no brainers, and shouldnt have to be asked more than once, IMHO.....

I would like to add another multi player game to the list as well, thanks!

Czuch: "shouldnt have to be asked more than once" - I can say the same thing about my answers. Unfortunately, to post them once is not enough, obviously.
How many times did you try to design, program, launch and maintain your own game site? After you do it, you can make skillful opinions about "no brainers". Until then, please be patient.
