Argomento: creating new games -- with rating range
I have started a few new games (pente) and I selected a certain rating range that I would like to play against, but I get people accepting the game even though they are not in the rating range. Am I doing something wrong or does it not work?

Argomento: Game Suggestion
While looking through old post, I found one from October 2002 that suggested Yatzee as a game.

I think that would be a cool game to add here. (Plus I would not think it would be to complex to program either.)

Argomento: Scrabble
It's totally illegal to play scrabble online without permission. That doesn't mean it isn't done, but it would be a big risk for a reputable site to take, hence it is not on yahoo! or Microsoft zone.
Changing it enough to get around the copyright is possible but likely would be unsatisfactory for true Scrabble fans.

Are you talking about Scrabble bug? Just how do you find other players on there? I've been wondering about that.

Argomento: Server?
Fencer, I was just wondering... How many users can the server handle at one time? The server says at the time of this posting, there is 34 users online, but the screens are taking almost 3 to 4 minutes to change.

27. Aprile 2003, 04:28:33
Kevin 
It doesn't really have to do with how many players online...it is simply based on the number of requests. A request happens every time any user accesses a new page.

27. Aprile 2003, 13:15:20

Eriisa, on Scrabble Bug to find a player go into 'start a new game', then its something like 'view profiles' or 'find player'. You can search for a player with a similar rating to you or by country. Theres quite a few on there!

Why isn't there an option to set up a 2-game match (separately rated games each) against the same opponent with games to be played concurrently?

28. Aprile 2003, 18:17:22
Dmitri King 
Argomento: Re: Arranging games
I agree with Pioneer54, somewhat. There is currently an option similar to what he is saying: You can invite someone to two games, then check the "alternate colors" box, and it will create two independant games that will each count individually and run concurrently.

The problem is, the opponent can accept one of the two and leave the other one, possibly to his advantage.

What I would like to see (and very possibly what Pioneer54 was alluding to) is the option to create a two game set of independent games that MUST be accepted as a pair or not at all. ALso, this would make the pending invites section of the main page less cluttered, because currently each pair I invite someone to takes up two klines on the page.

Argomento: Re: Arranging games
I know what you are saying. You want it set up like on IYT with the 2 game match. However I play quite a bit of 2 game matches and I like it the way it is. However I can understand wanting each game to be taken into account seperately.

28. Aprile 2003, 20:15:59
grenv 
Argomento: Re: Arranging games
If someone accepts one and not the other you could always abandon the game. It doesn't count to your ratings if you abandon in the first move or two.

28. Aprile 2003, 23:24:13
Dmitri King 
Argomento: Re: Arranging games
YEs, but there is a problem with this. HWen I am making my moves, I often use the "move and go to ____ game" function, such that I may start playing a game that was intended to be aprt of a pair without realizing it. Then by the time I realize the opponent has not started the other game, I have already moved twice and I cannot delete it.

28. Aprile 2003, 23:57:03
Kevin 
This could be easily solved by having the server send a message letting you know if your opponent accepted or declined the invite. And if they just leave it, you will not get the message (or only get one message) and know that one was not accepted.

29. Aprile 2003, 00:19:16
Dmitri King 
Argomento: Re:
Kevin, I don't think your solution addressed what I said-- if I am making my moves one after another, as I (and probably many others) do, a message in the inbox will not be veyr helpful.

I tihnk the easiest solution is the simplest one-- the games aresent as a pair, and they should be accepted or declined as a pair.

Argomento: Trivia board?
Fencer, is there any way you could add a Trivia board here? I'm feeling a bit guilty as the last 60 or so postings on the General Chat board have been in response to my quizzes. I would be happy to moderate any such board and to post up quizzes from time to time that people might like to take part in whilst waiting for their opponents to move.

Dmitri: Yes, but the red number beside the "Message Box" Link informs you of any new messages, even while playing. But yes, both invites accepted or declined as one would be a good idea.

Argomento: New Boards
A trivia board would be a cool addition. A board that I would like to see is a "problems" board where people can post when the have problems with games or other things.

I still have a problem with only this board that the (XX new) message does not show up with only this board.

I don't like to keep bringing up this problem I'm having, but it makes me have to check this board out over and over to see if their are any new post here.

(plus if it were to happen to one of the boards that I moderate, a lot of post might happen before I even go and look at the problem!) :-)

Argomento: Re: Arranging games
Interesting opinions. What I really had in mind was posting a pair of games to the waiting area (as opposed to two separate games with different colors, or a 2-game consecutively played match that only counts as one game point). However, it would also be handy to be able to challenge a specific user to a 2-game match, but as conditions are now, we cannot even do that!

Argomento: Re: Arranging games
I play 2-game matches all the time with the line games. You alternate the color you are for each game. The downfall is you do not play both games simultaneously and each game in the match is not calculated for rating, just the match result.

29. Aprile 2003, 07:25:40

how do you figure pool is going to work on a site like this, runningwolf? ;-)

Gary Barnes 
Argomento: Stick to board games
To all -

My suggestion is to refrain from making suggestions about card games and pool and other games that have nothing to do with board games. This is mostly a board-game site. Board games are great and IMO they should not be mixed with other types of games.

Obviously the choice to keep it that way is up to Fencer, but my feeling is that he will stick with his specialty and that is board games.

If we go that avenue, we could start asking for games like baseball, football, fantasy adventure games, etc. It's just inconsistent with the philosophy of a great board-game site like this.

Well I think if someone can come up with a good way to make a turn-based game out of cards, dice, or some other non-board game, I say go for it - make this site a little more different!

... but I don't really see how Pool would be very good at a turn-based site. As I see card games now, I don't see them being very good at a turn-based site either - but I would always be open to suggestions on how they could be! :-)

Argomento: other games
A couple of other simple games vatiations that shouldn't be too hard to bring to this site - possible Dark Gothic Chess, Dark Janus Chess, Dark .... other Chess?

I like Dark Chess since I feel I have more of an advantage (since I stink at regular Chess), and to bring the Darkness to a couple of the other types of chess would be very interesting... plus I would not think too hard to program. :-)

29. Aprile 2003, 19:51:25
harley 
I'm with you there, BBW! I'm awful at regular chess, so much so that on dark chess I do moves that good chess players wouldn't even THINK I would do! (most of these are done by mistake btw!) and that has given me an advantage before, because I'm not moving as an experienced player thinks I will!

Argomento: Re: other games
There are hundreds of chess variants in the world, including many which are mundane (even frivilous) but also including some which are great game concepts!

However, the notion of 'combining' two separate concepts together (such as "dark janus chess") has as shown from time to time by enthusiasts not been quite as practical as the theories suggest.

Also, offerings and other things can quickly get complicated and the real meaning of basic ideas lost from a perpetual spiral of combinations.

Ok, enough nonsense.

Argomento: Re:
These seem like legitimate variants to me. WHat is wrong with combining two variants to make another variant? This is better than removing a crucial rule from a game and calling it a variant.

grenv 
Loop Chess is best implemented as a two v two game. Your partner plays the opposite color and you both play simultaneiously against the other pair. Any piece your partner captures can be put onto your board during your turn. How about this as a variant for team comps?

Argomento: Chess Variant Combinations
Dmitri,

Apparently, the entire meaning of both the second and third paragraphs in my earlier message went right over your head!! I did not question the legitimacy of combining variants; I just state that they are usually not feasible in a practical sense. And your insidious reference to the pente discussions has nothing to do with the subject matter here.

2. Maggio 2003, 19:22:19
Dmitri King 
Argomento: Re: Chess Variant Combinations
I understood you just fine, nothing went over my head.

Are you trying to say you were NOT speaking in opposition to the suggested combination chess variants? It certainly appeared that way.

As for your claims, I see nothing impractical or complicated about the combination variants, what exactly is the problem?

As for my reference to pente, I thought it was fitting since you so vehemently argued in favor of what I (and many others) consider to be an illegitimate variant and then you seemed opposed to apparently legitimate chess variants.

If you were NOT speaking in opposition to the idea of creating those chess variants, then I misunderstood you, but If that is the case it was because your statement was vague, not because anything went over my head.
