Argomento: Re: Leaders boards
You don't understand, I DO want to play with these players. I think those atop the leader boards should play each other. But, if they opt not to, there is nothing that can be done.

Will they get bored? Maybe, maybe not, but it s irrelevant, because one cna just play a game as player 1 every now and then and remain atop the leader board, undeservedly so.

Argomento: Re: Leaders boards
My thought is do not play with those players. They will get bored when no one will play them. It is not much fun to be on top when there is no one to play with. Also I noticed that there are a lot of players signed up here that do not play at all or havent played in quite a while. I would suggest having a time table for them to play or have to start over. I wonder how many players there are on the boards who do not play here anymore or rarely play a game.

BlazinBrian, thank you for your civil reply. THe problem is, I cnanot force people ot play the 2 game set-- the people I am referring to choose which games they play, and they only play as white. THen they sit on the ratings leaders board and decline invites to be player 2. THat is a load of crap, and those people do not deserve ot have their name atop the leadres board! A simple extra column will at least show that hte person is playing a disprportionate amount of games as player 1.

Argomento: Re: Leaders boards
If you are concerned about it just make every game you create a 2 games match. To me personally it makes little difference as I am black 9 times out of 10 anyway. I just prefer being that color and by playing with it 90% of the time I do not get confused as what color I am in any particular game.

Argomento: Re: Leaders boards
Danoscheck, good point. But, Gary pointed out to me that one need not be concerned with someone not offering to play the other side-- you cna simply send an invite for both games, and if the opponent accepts only the game where he goes first, you can delete it!

Argomento: Re: Leaders boards
for my person, such a display would influence me as following -

if I'd see somebody who challenges me having about 70%
of his games played as player1 I would simply DEMAND that,
in a first encounter he'd take player2, because I evidently couldn't
rely on the custom of granting a 2nd game with exchanged colours
- happened already.
I won't name the player though - may he remain happy ... :Þ ... ~*~

Argomento: Re: Leaders boards
Why not try having 2 rating tables under each game, next to each other - one for games played as white, and one for black. That may give player an incentive to play more games as black to better their position?

Argomento: Re: Leaders boards
I second Dmitri's request - maybe not as permanent display, but like
the provisoric ratings, switchable ... merely also as regular addition
like, in football the games at home and, in the opponent's stadium are
separately specified on many leaderboards as well ...
( I mean football, not the american rugby-variation *grin* )

as I'm still unexperienced at Tablut and don't know the stats
for the maharajah chess either - no clue for which game type
it also might turn out handy yet ... ~*~

Argomento: Re: Leaders boards
Yep, that would be a good idea.
But one thing would have to be changed first: currently if you play 2-game matches and play white in game 1, it says in your completed games that you played as white. Even though you actually played one as white and the other as black.

Fencer, would it be possible to add a feature whereby we have the option to save "sent messages" as well as those we receive? Wonder how many players have sent a message after a few drinks and wondered with regret the following day what they put? Hehe.

Argomento: Leaders boards
Fencer, I think it is great that this site has ratings and leaders boards. There is no money at stake with htese games, so the only prizes are pride and recognition. But, I have noticed a bothersome trend, that is, some players play ENTIRELY as player 1 in games like pente and Keryo pente, where player 1 has a big advantage and most people know it. As a result, some people cheaply get ot the top of the rankings who do not deserve to be there.

Here is my idea for a solution: on the ratings boards, there should be an extra column, in addition to name and rating: it should say
"% of games played as player 1." Then everyone can see who the real gamers are and who the phonies are. Since the ratings calculation is the same for player 1 or player 2, I think this is essential if the ratings are to mean anything.

Argomento: Re: Two-game matches
Magister Ludi, I agree. But, I think Fencer is already workign on this-- he has already done it for tournaments, and I think he said he is working on it for non-tournament play. As it is, we cna invite the player to two separate games, but, being able to do it in one step would be nice.

Argomento: Two-game matches
In games, where the players have unequal pieces and goals (such as Tablut), it could be nice if you could create a match with two simultaneous games with different colors for players in each of the two matches.

Fencer,

On the main tournament page (and the Fellowships) can you create another column to show the winner of the tournament when it becomes complete? as well as the name and creator of it.

Cheers, Bry.

Just to follow on what lwmc has requested on the main BrainKing board about being able to message all our friends with one message.
How about an option for us Fellowship Bosses/Managers to send messages to all members of the Fellowship at one go, as i know we don't all read the boards etc.....to keep them in touch ( or was that in line LOL ) ;-)

Hello all. I apologize for not keeping my posts on the appropriate boards. I will post my rants on the approrpiate boards from now on. I think some of these discussions got carried away before everyone realized we weren't conducting them in the right place.

If anyone wishes to continue the arguments about pente, Keryo pente, or IYT, we can do so at the pente, Keryo pente, and general chat boards, respectively.

Unfortunately you can still see their posts. It just means they can't send you a private message or invite you to a game. But you can still end up playing them in a tournament if you both sign up.

I have noticed something about this white screen (its white lolol - nooooo) it seems to happen with the more people on line.
If i only have a few friends/ppl i am playing on line i can get to my friends page, but the more ppl that come on seems to stop me getting there & also make other games very slow to access. All part of the server i guess - i am sure Fencer will tell me lol

Rabbits2: Thanks for the info note on this subject. I have an old version webtv by Sony so maybe that is part of it as well. I just wondering if it was happening to PC people too. So far it looks like a webtv glitch.

I have a WebTV <MSNTV> system, too, and have a couple of suggestions. Power off and when you come back the white screen should be eliminated. However, it is continues, try deleting your cookies. It was happening to me this morning and after I deleted the cookies, I can more around here with a lot more speed and the white page is gone.

Argomento: Discussion Board Subject range.
Fencer, I was wondering whether it would be possible for you to add a broader range of discussion boards, to include perhaps some light-hearted subjects; boards where people can go to banter and chat in general, rather than specifically about the games. This would take the off-topic light-hearted bantering away from the more serious discussion boards such as your brainking.com board, and the boards relating to specific games. People would then feel more at liberty to post jokes etc and would have a place to go to post up non-topic chat stuff. This would also make it easier for people to know where to go to find that sort of chat and interaction within the site. Maybe even just one new board for "general chat"?

This is a great site - keep up the good work!

Argomento: Re: White screen
I also have webtv and it happens to me regularly. I do notice it's usually temporary and usually happens when you click on "go to next game". So, instead of that I click on either "go to main page" or "go to game" (?) (it's the one that you use to choose which game to go to). After doing that a couple of times, it's usually ok to click on "go to next game" again.

Maybe it is because I play on a webtv (MSNTV) system there is this problem. Occassionally when I click on move and goto the next game button I get blank white screen. has anyone else whether they use webtv or a PC had this situation occur?

Nothing, really...i guess it only really could be confusing if you just kept the moves and tried to rebuild the game. You'd have to know there was no "i" column.

Yes, the "i" and the l" get confused, particularly when upper case and lower case are used. what is confusing about not having an "i"?

Argomento: Pente
I noticed there is no "i" column. Is there a reasom for this? My only guess is it could get confused with "L", but at least for me, having no "i" is more confusing than having an "i" and "L". :-)

Argomento: 2 game sets
I agree with Dmitri King on the 2 game sets. I think this is one of the good aspects of iyt. Also individual games in a multi game match should count. The exception to this should only be if the games affect each other, as in a backgammon match that uses the doubling cube.

18. Marzo 2003, 03:57:30

Argomento: Main Page loading time
I'm sure not many players have this problem, but for me the main page loads very slow because of the number of games i am playing. Most of the time when i log on, i go through the DBs, and then click on the red link beside "Main page" to start playing, so i have no need to see my list of games.

My request: The option to have a page when you log on with the columns on the left and right (or top and bottom with row layout), and nothing in the middle. That would save a lot of loading time :-)

Thanks!
