Fencer: It is still there. LOL Let me know when you turn it off, please.

Eriisa:

Fencer: Oh thank you. You don't how well that thing flies. LOL

He must be smaller on PCs. He is cute! But the poor thing seems to be really struggling to get across my screen.

Pbarb2: Sorry, I forget to turn it off for WebTVs.

Pbarb2: right up at the top, by the ad banner on the left

Eriisa: LOL you won't like this one unless your is smaller than mine.
I just can't find the place to get the castle off.

*changed to castle and patiently waiting for the dragon.*


Did I mention I love dragons?

BIG BAD WOLF: I looked in the settings and don't see anything like that. There is nothing like that at the top of the page either.

emmett: The dragon comes after a short amount of time (10-20 seconds) - so sit on the page with castle theme and wait.

Pbarb2: On the top of the page, there should be a "Castle" "Simple" and "No Font" choice that you can click on. Also in settings, main page - you should see those 3 options.

pauloaguia: Where do I go to switch off the castle? I really don't know what I am on. thanks

I usually use the "simple" style, and switched to castle to see the dragon, but I don't know what you all are talking about. how can I see the dragon?

BIG BAD WOLF: I like the dragon. Let us call him Fluffy :)

Pbarb2: OK, did some playing around - it looks like the dragon is only on the castle theme - apparently another "feature" or something.

So one way is to switch to another theme - kind of strange Fencer would add something like that to discourage people from using the Castle theme, but whatever.

Another option is if you use FireFox, you can add the AdBlockPlus Extention - and hide the dragon image: http://brainking.com/images/gui/dragon.gif

Normally I would not tell people to get the ad blocker since it would also hide legitimate ad's on the site that helps Fencer get a little extra money, but until he adds a switch to remove it himself, this is the only other option (other then switching to a different theme)

Ad Block Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865

Simply click on the "Install now" - then next time you see the dragon image, you can right-click on the dragon and choose "adblock image" and that image will now be hidden.

Pbarb2: Switch to simple style. Or convince Fencer to add another switch to disable it ;)

Oceans Apart: I get that Dragon, too. It is on my game sheet and covers part of my game. Very hard to play that way. Is there a way to turn it off? I am on webtv so thought at first that was it. But others are seeing it, too. Can anyone give an idea on what to do?

Oceans Apart: lol

prettymama: Maybe Fencer likes the Welsh LMAO

joshi tm: I'm agree with you is it there for a reason or just looks

joshi tm: Apparently it's sole purpose is to fly around

Every good castle has a dragon :)

What is the purpose of that red dragon?

BIG BAD WOLF: How about a "long user name" (max. 255 characters) which would be shown as a tooltip over your "normal" name everywhere it appears?

Isn't there some way that the names can be held in limbo in the server for a set period. Say for one month or three months maybe. That way people could change their names for a little while and be able to change back to their well known name within a set time period.

The other option is to set up a dummy pawn for yourself when you change your name then delete that pawn when you want to change back maybe???

Fencer: Well a couple of years ago, I would change my name for special occasions - like "BIG BAD SANTA" when it was around Christmas time and such - until a trouble-maker user decided to create a dummy account with my old name so I could not change back. Of course we got that fixed, but I have never changed my name since then - and was just wondering if this would fix that situation or not. O'well.

BIG BAD WOLF: Yes, someone can create a new account and steal your old name. I don't recommend too many changes. I see no reason for any changes anyway.

In a persons profile, it will show previous user names. Question: If I were to change my name, does that open up for someone to use my previous name? That is lets say I change my username to something that I only planned on using for a short time and planned to change back - could someone create a new account and "steal" my old name since I was not using it at the time? Or now that it saves it in the profile, do it also protect it?

Fencer:
okay thank you

"IceCold": Both options are valid.

for black rooks
do i have to buy a pawn a membership or can i extend someone elses

1. Alice Chess
2. Double-move Chess
3. Dynamo Chess
4. Avalanche Chess

My list is getting small because so many really good games are already here !
But although I am not fond of checkers, I agree that the "International" 10x10 variant is called for.

Portuguese (/Spanish /Classic) Checkers. But I've no more hope to see them in Brainking...

I would like to see here:
1. Dominoes.
2. Alice Chess.
3. Shatranj.

BIG BAD WOLF:

76: Anti Ataxx
77: Small Ludo
78: Gothic Froglet (diagonal jumps)
79: Smal Froglet 8x8
80: Large Froglet 16x16
81: Chinese Checkers
82: International Checkers
83: Ataxx 9x9
84: More of Mancala
85: Anti Brain War Would that be interesting?
10 more?

BIG BAD WOLF: Someone mentioned a while ago to have a separate board for new game requests. That sounds good to me, as it would (perhaps....) eliminate duplicate and triplicate requests, and we could also see (perhaps...) where on the list our requests are, if they are on the list at all, like Boggle......

BIG BAD WOLF: Bookmarked.

Fencer: Lets see here.... 250 new games:

1. 6 dice version of Dice Poker
2. 6 dice version of Triple Dice Poker (Ultimate Dice Poker)
3. Bankroll version of Dice Poker (26 rolls for the game - use as many or as little per turn - for total of 26 in game)
4. Bankroll version of Triple Dice Poker
5. Dark Ataxx
6. Dominoes
7-12. Pick some domino variants
13. Dark Battleboats Plus - You start with 5 shots each, but you lose 1 for each of your ships that are sunk. Not only do you not see which ships you sunk, you DO NOT see your own board either! (This is to solve the problem of seeing your opponent shooting 4 shots and hence knowing you sunk a ship that way)
14. Hex Battleboats Plus (play on a hex type board)
15. Hex Dark Battleboats
16. Rifle/Shoot Chess
17. Chessky
18. Dark Crazy Screen Chess
19-50. 3+ player games. Imagine Frog Finder with 4 players & slightly larger board!
51. Frog Finder w/ lily pads decoys. Add 2 decoys for each player that will act like a frog, but won't count against if "guessed". If guessed, it will not give nor take away any points - just be reviled as a decoy in the game.
52. (like ponds) - BrainWar - for 5-15 players. Each player starts out with 13 cards of 1 suit (2-Ace). You pick which card to play each round (13 rounds per game). You goal is to place the highest unique card. Winner gets all played cards. At end, add up value of cards - highest amount wins. (So for example 3 players - player 1 plays an Ace, player 2 plays an Ace, player 3 plays a 9 - player 3 wins because it is the highest UNIQUE card of the hand - and gains 14+14+9 points) Plus other rules with I won't list here.
53. (like ponds) - Dark BrainWar for 5-15 players (same as above but Other players DO NOT see what cards each player has left, and does not see current score (other then their own) – You can see what cards were played – but you don’t know who played what.)
54. (like ponds) - High/Low Cards vs. dealer. (for 5-unlimited) - each person is dealt a card, where they have to guess if their card will be higher or lower then the dealers card. If correct, stay until next round - if not, eliminated.
55. Scrabble like word game
56-75. Card Games! What type of game is missing from most of the turn based game sites? Card Games.

OK, there is my first 75 of 250 games. Fencer, get to work.

joshi tm: That would be great.

Fencer: What's the May Action? 250 new games at the beginning of June? :):)

Chaosu: And BrainKing has 3 times more entries to translate.

Rose: It said at the bottom of my post I had it sorted

Gordon Shumway: Right, I counted links at bottom of main page but not all translations are finished: http://www.kurnik.org/translation/

Vendolas: We've got a special tournament board http://brainking.nl/nl/Board?bc=22

Chaosu: There are only 26 in the dropdown list ;)

Kurnik.org have just two different domains but it's translated into 33 languages I think : )

heavenlyemma: Global mods have nothing to do with Private fellowships, as in no control and cant interfere. It is a mute point if you are no longer in the FS anyway, you cant mod what you aren't in.

BIG BAD WOLF: That´s what I thought, thanks

solan109: They have to be a member of the fellowship to play.

You can also make a regular tournament invite-only and invite anyone to those if you wanted.
