<< < 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 > >> 27. March 2005, 16:51:15 Subject: Fix backgammon rules Here's a perfect example in Hypergammon of the BG bug. In this position as black I rolled 5-1 and could have moved 12-7 to great advantage (being not able to play the 1). Since this is against the rules I didn't play it that way. Since Backgammon is by far the most popular game, I would think this should be one of the listed priorities.
http://brainking.com/game/ShowGame?g=724276&i=13 26. March 2005, 23:10:06 lol. I looked at your games, and indeed we are.
Fencer, i don't want to name names since it seems like it might be a system error. Any chance you could check into this? I'd kind of like to know how I do in these games before the apocolypse. 26. March 2005, 23:07:40 While we're on the topic, do we really need 30 days per year? I wish I had 30 days where I couldn't get to a computer, lol. In reality I doubt I use more than 10. 26. March 2005, 23:04:52 Actually come to think of it I have an opponent who hasn't moved in over a month. That would surely mean at least 20 days of autovacation, yet he still has 21 days left. 26. March 2005, 23:01:52 Subject: Re: Re: rabbitoid: That would happen at the beginning of a new year. Unless you're talking about days left before next move, in which case the extra 20 days is probably a planned vacation. 24. March 2005, 16:47:14 Subject: Re: Re: Purple: How about "Sorry, but Fred thinks you're an idiot and I like him better than you".
Not too hard to explain. 20. March 2005, 23:48:04 Subject: Re: Re: pauloaguia: No problem. You get a pass coming from a non-english country. If i see another american spell it that way I'm going to have to call the police.
Now let's see what 551 is (you put spaces) :  20. March 2005, 23:42:25 I'll go with 3: Backgammon, anti-backgammon and hypergammon.
And people: lose is the opposite of win loose is the opposite of tight it is amazing how often they seem to be confused. 20. March 2005, 23:10:28 Subject: Re: Game types and variants Walter Montego: Actually 5-in-line is very different than Pente in my opinion. Also I agree that some chess variants are very different.
Actually i think all the backgammon variants are skewing the results, after all they are all pretty much the same. 17. March 2005, 15:38:57 How about a "submit and go to next pond" button?
And if there is no pond it goes to the front page. I can't see why I want to stay there after betting. 17. March 2005, 15:33:22 Modified by grenv (17. March 2005, 23:42:53) All a little bit politically correct for me, like Canine American instead of Dog.
I think it should be Nice People and Utter B******s I guess I'm not getting that though? 14. March 2005, 00:55:18 Once again I have opponents timeout and get autovacation while they are online!!!! Autovacation should not be intended to protect players who can't keep up because the started too many games, only players who cannot log in for some reason.
My feature request is: Autovacation only kicks in for players who have not been online for at least the last 24 hours. 13. March 2005, 02:21:41 Subject: Re: Re: nobleheart: Um, eerie is an english word already, no need for a translation there. 4. March 2005, 01:36:55 The only thing offensive about nipplegate was how little we got to see and how quickly it was covered up!  3. March 2005, 23:45:21 If you're that concerned don't let your kids use a computer, or watch TV. Perhaps we should burn a few of their books while we're at it?
Personally I've never seen anything offensive here. 3. March 2005, 22:40:37 I think it's a little naive, not to mention overprotective, to be worried about this site.
Kids can go anywhere on the internet, if this is where they end up I wouldn't be worried in the slightest. 2. March 2005, 21:22:56 Just for the record if anyone asks me if they can take back a move, here is my answer:
 23. February 2005, 23:38:29 Subject: Re: Moderators Guidelines Summertop: Great post. Now we can get on with discussing the features as opposed to bickering. Where were we before we were interrupted? 23. February 2005, 22:00:44 Subject: Re: Modified by grenv (23. February 2005, 22:01:05) harley: Originally it was my feature request. Now I have another: Please use the following code for anyone bidding zero.
< a href="electricShock">Click here to bid zero< /a> 23. February 2005, 18:38:27 Subject: Re: I'll try again each time until I at least get a response... Summertop: There's no such thing as timeout, if you don't move you get last turn's move.
Problem is that in the first run there is a pawn bidding 10 each turn. Therefore 90% of players just bid 11. Each turn someone bids 0 in an effort to drop out of the game, which prolongs the agony. If we didn't have the perpetual 10 bid it would be more interesting (even though the zeros would still usually mess us up). 23. February 2005, 18:22:47 Subject: Re: I'll try again each time until I at least get a response... Fencer: I guess you can be circular if you like, but saying you won't change a rule because it's a rule doesn't actually answer the question. 23. February 2005, 18:17:16 Subject: Re: I'll try again each time until I at least get a response... Fencer: Why not? It spoils the game? Is it just time to code? Surely they should just be forced to bid zero or something. How hard could it be? 23. February 2005, 17:40:45 Subject: I'll try again each time until I at least get a response... Fencer,
PLEASE allow pawns to finish ponds they signed up for while being paying members. It spoils the game otherwise. alternative: All pawns autobid zero, that way they are out of the way. I don't mind which solution, but it should be one or the other. Thanks. 23. February 2005, 03:00:25 Subject: Re: Re: Daniel Snyder: But you appear not to have played any games!!! I have played 250 and have a reasonable rating. I can guarantee that white has an advantage very early in the game. Black is on the defensive from move 1.
It may not be enough to force a win, but it is much easier to make a mistake as black. 22. February 2005, 19:51:18 Serious request.
Atomic Chess has the slight drawback that white gains an early advantage due to how quickly the king can be attacked. I propose an 8x10 board, 8 wide as normal, with normal pieces, but 10 deep. This should make for a more circumspect game. 21. February 2005, 16:05:40 Subject: Ponds Fencer,
PLEASE allow pawns to finish ponds they signed up for while being paying members. It spoils the game otherwise. alternative: All pawns autobid zero, that way they are out of the way. I don't mind which solution, but it should be one or the other. Thanks. 19. February 2005, 16:26:06 Subject: Re: but remember this from user agreement reza: So apparently any idiot can see 7 moves ahead? I think he was being arrogant. A computer is a computer, the agreement says computers, not "computers that are better than Ed Trice"  17. February 2005, 14:33:52 Subject: Re: monitoring the moderators AbigailII: Good point, if there's no need for the data don't provide it.
Here's what I do with the info: If I see someone playing a game against me, I'll link to that game (especially if it's a chess variation) and refamiliarize myself and start thinking about my next move. BBW: You're n ot moving quickly because you're playing 800+ games. I was actually wondering why I kept seeing you online yet no moves were forthcoming. Notice I didn't harass you about it though 17. February 2005, 04:18:28 Subject: Re: Big Brother? BIG BAD WOLF: I don't understand, all other players can see is what you are doing on THIS site. What could you possibly be doing that is such a secret? Who the hell cares if someone knows you are browsing a message board or playing a particular game? Maybe I am missing something but this sounds like paranoia to me. 16. February 2005, 16:16:44 Subject: Re: Request: Dark Crazy Screen Chess Seravajan: Holy mackeral, that is a great idea! 12. February 2005, 01:09:14 Subject: Re: would it be too much effort danoschek: I've never had to sort the dice to get a piece back on. Are you sure it doesn't already do this? 29. January 2005, 23:03:06 The person who looks like being on top of the ratings can't wait to see it apparently 21. January 2005, 20:57:00 i think you'd have to give the second player a turn if he is destroyed. If (s)he destroys the enemy it's a tie. Thus taking away the first turn advantage. 20. January 2005, 18:51:59 Subject: Re: I just can't help it Vikings: What does it taste like? 17. January 2005, 21:04:01 How about a feature where we could play several moves at once if our opponent has no move available, until one does become available? We could call it Automove, or SensibleCheckingOfPlayersAbilityToMove!
 17. January 2005, 13:25:59 Subject: Re: Re: Next Rounds in tournaments Sumerian: I believe the programming to be about the same more or less. Better to get the answer correct.
EdTrice: Your solution won't calculate winners in all situations either. Sometimes a winner can be determined even though other players could tie them, because of S-B scores. 17. January 2005, 02:23:52 Subject: Re: Sumerian: I had to read your answer thrice before concluding that your solution is slightly flawed and wouldn't be 100% effective.
With computers it is better to just consider all possible outcomes and see if the group winner is the same for all permutations. Often it isn't even necessary for the group winner to complete all his/her games. 17. January 2005, 00:56:12 I agree, AND i don't think it's all that difficult to program, maybe time consuming though. I think it's more important than Ladders or Unicode support.
How can we influence the priorities? 16. January 2005, 21:35:42 Subject: Re: Points in Tournament Sections Sumerian: I agree, and how about ordering the groups by points or points/game finished as well? 16. January 2005, 20:00:13 i deleted the last one, but the previous one had a legitamite request (click instead of mouseover). 16. January 2005, 18:02:39 Never had a virus, overhyped in my opinion. That's what virus software is for.
Since we're on the topic though: How about enabling those emoticons onClick instead of onMouseOver? Anyone disagree? 16. January 2005, 04:01:12 it's like using a slide rule, somewhat trendy but not very effective. 16. January 2005, 01:56:32 Subject: Re: Re: Czuch Chuckers: Webtv must be a small minority though. I'd guess 99% of people would be on a regular browser, or else this is a straneg site indeed. 16. January 2005, 00:11:00 I just noticed that i need to enable Javascript in the settings!! I would expect that to be the default setting, and you can choose to disable (why you would I don't know)
In case nobody else realizes... 9. January 2005, 17:57:34 or at least buttons above the fold. Click, scroll, click is not very efficient. How about an option to have all buttons above the gameboard? 9. January 2005, 17:55:05 "Accept All" and "Accept all by this player" buttons. << < 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 > >> |
