KotDB: Another place would be ideal solution, but just marking them slightly different would mean almost no change in game model but would help. Perhaps internally they are stored elsewhere even now, but board design is always the same and you have the same numbers of slots to click as in classic backgammon.

Czuch Czuckers: However, if black sees white's move, he can adjust his move if necessary. It actually gives black a small advantage.

Just a short request to help out those dislexic people (like myself ) that want to make a guess and click on shoot and want to shoot and click on guess!

Display on the square of the board a "?" when one initially clicked on "guess" and display a gun shot, or some sort of image that means "shoot" , when one initially clicked on "shoot". Presently there is a red square highlighting that something is ocurring there, but it would sure be helpful to have these other images instead!

Hope it is possible to implement this: it should not take much! :)

TeamBundy: I agree...that's a good idea. Maybe just the highlighted box when you are shooting and an "x" when you are guessing. Many times I have to push the back button to make sure I clicked on one and not the other.

SueQ: You can always look at the move list. An x denotes shooting while ? denotes guessing.

gambler104: Right you are! I hadn't noticed you can check the list before you hit submit. Nice to know!

Please may we have the row of available colours at the top of the board, rather than at the bottom.
Then I don't need to move my screen down ecvery time I pick a colour.

tonyh: Why? The board is not that big and it should fit to your screen, especially if you move it to the top of the page.

Fencer: Or press F11.....that helps a lot

Marfitalu: The finished matches are already sorted exactly as you need. Just check it.

Marfitalu: http://brainking.info/archives/187-Frog-Finder-yes,-the-rules.html

Marfitalu: Anything Goes was started on 7th November and finished on 4th February.

Fencer: I see there is a 'start date and time' on team tournaments, can we have that on normal tournaments as well ??

Marfitalu: A match is "finished" when the system marks it finished. There can be a delay after finishing the last match game.

Marfitalu: Not yet.

i havent been on here much lately but noticed that one of my suggestions has been implemented again - the one about having a move option to go to next game with a friend - do i get a prize for suggesting it lol

Fiona: Yes. When I meet you, I'll shake your hand.

Fencer: lol thank you i guess thats better than free membership lol

To the right of the name of the fellowships, under "Games we play", there is a list of all the games that each fellowship plays. Many fellowships list all the games (and they end in "...").
That list takes up a lot of space.

I suggest that we simply have "All Games" as an option for what the fellowships say that they play. It would help condense the fellowship pages, maybe even by over two pages.

Maybe we could have it set up so that each fellowship could have the option of choosing "All games", and then every time a new game is added it automatically becomes one of the fellowship's games played.

After playing for a while I have a few suggestions.

1. I find I think faster than I click...Many times I go to click on a check box but miss. Poor Aim on my part. But, it would be nice if we could click on the dice itself.

2. When a dice is flagged to be re-rolled, it would be nice to have the image of the dice change to show that it will be re-rolled.

3. It would be REALLY nice if my scoresheet was ALWAYS on the left side. Right now, the first player is on the left and the second is on the right. Every once in a while, I do my re-rolls to get a specific type of score, only to find I already had it. I was looking at the opponents side.

These are small feature requests (maybe not to develop), but I think they would make the games a lot better.

Summertop: would i be right in thinking that if you always wanted your score on the left you would only be able to play people who want to have their scores on the right

First: to restate...it would be nice if next to our roll, it said what the piece was.
Also, why no castle move?

A new variation of the game...Have the roll be weighted based on what pieces could move. For example, In a Player's very first move he has 10 pieces that could be moved...Eight pawns and 2 knights. Therefore, the very first roll of the game would be an 80% chance to roll a 1 (Pawn) and 20% chance to roll a 2 (Knight). It would still give a "randomness" to the game, but at the same time allow a player to "Play the Odd" on what pieces might be rolled.

juls31: Yep. Just like if I wanted my chess pieces to be on the bottom (closest to me) I would always play white.

When creating a new game, when a number of games/wins/points is selected the corresponding radio button should automatically be selected.

And while we're at it, in a message that a game is over why can't the button that creates a new invitation keep all the settings from the just-completed match?

Why not a variation of dice poker where we get 2 points for winning a box, 1 for a tie. That way, it doesn't matter if you your opponent starts with 5 of a kind, it's worth as much to win that category as winning 1's. Would be judgement to give up boxes and decide where to go for it!

Summertop:

Love this idea...   (1. I find I think faster than I click...Many times I go to click on a
check box but miss. Poor Aim on my part. But, it would be nice if we
could click on the dice itself.)

 

A veriation where we can place our "own" frogs?

Would be great    

ßăķëď Äłáşķǻñ: and maybe two or three shots at a time like the ships

Pason69: Good idea, count my vote!

Thad: And colours reversed. Good idea !

Can there be a way to see the BKRs of a fellowship's teams on the fellowship's page? And their ranking (if it's 1st, 2nd, etc).
Similar to the list there is in a player's profile.

Also, could the fellowship's main page be splitted into severall partial pages, like we have on our profiles? It's getting to much information in there.

pauloaguia: Huh? Have a look at some fellowship page.

I just sent an email supporting pauloaguia, then I looked at "Le" Club fellowship and deleted my last message. Great job, Fencer! Team rankings!

Wow.

Fencer: How about seperate BKR's for cubed Backgammon matches? Since the Backgammon game is so different with the cube...

joshi tm:

We have passed 38 times in this game. Are we likely to move in it again or is it time to call it a draw? If so is it possible to make this game so that if both players keep passing the game ends?

Grasshopper (Mousetrap vs. ladyhawke)

Thanks very much!

Forget that! I posted the request and has soon as I had done so I recieved a message saying the game was drawn by administrator. That Fencher is either psychic or very quick!
Thanks very much!

As you know; in the tournaments page, only in the red status capture all first look. At this time, first two pages show only these types. I think some Brainking's members forget to give a chance for other tournaments creators.

My offers are:
1- On the top of first page would be a link for the delayed tournaments (red status), then follows other tournament lines in 'open' status but greater than zero minutes.
2- On the top of pages, at status line, would be two links for open tournaments; like "include 'delayed starts'" and "exclude 'delayed starts'"

Thank you

TC: How about:

3 - How about every couple of days i pick, say 5 Tournaments, and post them at the top of the Tournament discussion board ?
(unless Fencer can do it automatically lol)

MadMonkey: Sure, would be another one of goodies!

Mousetrap: Any game that has two passes in a row is a draw I believe. If this is the case, and I haven't missed anything, it could be a good idea for Fencer to program in.

I am not sure if this has been requested before (I did do a search in here...)

On the Tournaments page, a search for those tournaments that I have signed up for. I tend to forget to use the Notepad...

Thanks!

tinksbell: You have to go to "My profile", then click on "tournaments". If you choose your "open tournaments", you will see the ones you have signed up for but have not started yet.

emmett: Thank you, the only problem with that is I think to go to the tournament page & can't seem to remember to go to my profile, hopefully this time I will.... Thank you.

tinksbell: There should be a dot or star or something by each tournament you have signed up for.

gambler104: There is a green dot.

tinksbell: Plus the advantage to the link on the profile is that is also includes fellowship tournaments you sign up for - which would not be shown in the normal tournament link.

gambler104: We must have just got stuck then lol!

It would be nice if there were two extra columns on the finished games list showing how many rated games the player has played using each color. They could be titled "first color" and "second color", to get around the colors being different for different game types.

I'll also restate my request for a total column showing the total number of rated games played.
