Hi to everybody, I am the author of Cheversi and would like to ask you to help me to test the new rules. All of you who tried Cheversi know, that this game wasn't nicely balanced . So, this is my attempt to correct this obvious weakness of the game. Please accept ONLY if you would like to follow the new rules and help me testing this game. The games posted in waiting room are unrated and not counted. Here are the rules: Pieces can be put on the board ONLY when they touch any other piece(s) previously put on the board, regardless of their color ... pieces can be touched vertically, horizontally or diagonally ... so there will be an unbroken body or chain of mixed pieces of both players ... Please help me to try this new version of Cheversi rules... Thanks in advance, Andy.
puupia: That is correct. Every January 1, your vacation days are reset to the max. So you could have fun and set the rest of December as vacation days since they will be reset to 35. (and of course you can still be here and play your games)
And as noted, vacation days do not work with Fischer clock game, or fixed weekend only games (games with red dot next to time).
puupia: if you set vacation days, when your opponents play the game will immediatelly assume those days and include them in the time left (assuming it's not a Fischer clock game or without vacations). Also your opponents will be able to see on your profile that you're on vacations and for how long instead of expecting you to move every day. On certain occasions you can even "waste" less vacation days if you set them than if you let autovacations kick in (not that it matters much - we're at the end of the year and you still have 35 days!)
Looking at my BKR graph, I realized I've been playing here continuously for over 4 years now. (I started earlier, but took a break for about 6 months). Gosh, it doesn't seem that long. It's been fun!
Bernice: There is no limit in how many f/s one person can be the little boss. But there is a limit on how many little bosses one f/s can have: only one
Fencer: Okay, thanks, it just doesnt show anything when I look at my shopping cart, I guess I just have to trust that it will be calculated correctly when i make my payment.
Furthermore, we have added a nice improvement - you don't have to send a payment in 72 hours to validate the bonus (like before), it must be received to the end of this year - 31st December 2007, 23:59:59 GMT+01:00.
So if I read this correctly, as long as i signed up for my new membership when the light was red, then when I pay I will get the second year free?
I've tried Goldtoken, Itsyourturn, YourturmMyturn and something else, and frankly, all those sites look kind of mcdonaldish ... we may disagree with Fencer in this or that, we may miss something here or there, but I feel like being at home at brainking ...
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays for all of you. Andy.
alanback: Yes, I'm aware this is in use elsewhere, but their game repertuaire is.... limited :D. Very. I'd probably be playing at DGS (didn't have this feature when I last played there), but I wanna play other games then Go also. Brainking just has best features and game repertuaire, and this I think would be a great addition.
seku: Try Dailygammon. "Computer guessing" has been working there for years. You can make up to 10 moves in a row based upon computer predictions of what your opponent will do. If the computer guesses wrong, the game is rolled back to that move and guessing resumes from that point. Your opponent cannot see your move unless he makes the predicted move himself.
I wanna suggest a feature, where players could predict their opponent moves, and pre-set a response for moves... or even sequences. This would make the games more interesting, as it would lessen the need to make "obvious" moves or forced responses... The games when you log in, are in state where you can really make decisions as how to proceed.
Each time I want to type a message I have to sign out and sign back in. I get a pop up box saying download brainking message board whatever lol! What is going on?
Andersp: the amount of snoopy's games is a left over from going for the top spot in 'moves per day'
its an insane race ... and this is the left over .. the number of finished games is just a side effect .. its an awkward list at all as someone who is here longer will have more games finished (on average)
i might feel sorry for the opponents though as they might want to play a nice game and now have a win by timeout
66% is a great target .. mine as well .. was there .. not anymore though i think
my 2 important lists from the statistics are win/loss ratio (66.6666% is the goal :)) and average bkr (2000 was the goal, now it is 1900 for more games :))
