WhiteTower: The three games that make up tavli were introduced to BK months ago but only those with at least Rook membership can play them. We've kept it a secret - a sort of surprise welcome for those that upgrade.
So, to find out if I'm telling the truth you're going to have to become a Rook.

Okay - I'm lying.

AbigailII: Mancala has been requested several times in the past.

Hrqls: Fencer cannot delete accounts. What has happened on BK is in it's history.

The best thing to do is remove or alter all your personal information from your profile and change your ID to something meaningless - like a row of numbers.

Fencer: That was the rule when I first started playing checkers (draughts) years ago - if you didn't jump a piece then your piece was forfeited.

EdTrice: Go to Statistics and click Running games.

Fencer: Yes, a green dot at the top of each db together with an envelope for quicker contact is good BUT moderators have this awful habit of coming online and then having the audacity to play their games. There's no way of actually drawing a mod's attention to a situation on their board during this time.
Would it be possible to have some sort of message box alert for mods while they're playing their games?
If you could somehow configure the hi-fi of the mod to play 'Ride of the Valkyries' at full volume, that should do it. (In NOT a Floosie's case - webtv - three rings on her microwave should galvanise her into action)
Failing that, a red dot (or something similar) above or below games should do it.

Nothingness: There's a fellowship that's worth checking out: Games Closet

BIG BAD WOLF: 4x4 would suit me.

You lot have got good eyesight. I can barely see the colon!

I want automatic refresh for myself. Might fool the wife.

Okay, gents, enough of what should be allowed as to the 11 different games and whether variants should be included. Good point though. Different people have different opinions and this debate could continue forever, or the length of time it takes for an anti-backgammon game, whichever is sooner.

Fencer will have no doubt noted your opinions so please move the debate to the relevant boards (chess, backgammom etc).

Is an 'anti' version of hyper backgammon feasible as a game?

Rex Nihilo: Be warned - I've added the comfy chair to the list of punishments...

volant: No, because Steve would get a clogged mailbox!

Stevie: It's an expression I use regularly!

Stevie:

You spoiled my surprise!

She wanted join in with the spirit of Christmas, Steve. She reckons she's the donkey on top of the Christmas tree. Strange girl. I blame the parents.

No.

Enough!

*2 posts continuing the topic deleted*

I assume this Aid-Programme would be done in a fellowship where the members could discuss it?

If someone is going to start a fellowship, then the Fellowships board is good. Don't worry about the mod on there. Any hassle and refer him to me. :D

Feel free to start one, Nirvana. Good luck with it!

My mistake, Nirvana. The 'Boost a Pawn' fellowship has been deleted because the creator/big boss is no longer a member here. Sorry.

It still exists. In name anyway. :)

It throws up a lot of problems and causes confusion. Who knows who is in genuine need?

Can't you boot a few US players to even things up? :D

I would have thought it'd be pretty close now.

Fencer, just as a matter of interest, do you know offhand how many paying members are from the Czech Republic and how many from the USA?

<STOP IT!!!

Books db -------->

I think all web tv users have the same problem with the numbers, bwild. I know fluzzy does - but I put that down to her being one of the ancients. :)

Seperate.

Skyking, perhaps you'd find it better to post this on the Espionage db - there's quite a conversation going on there!

....doughnuts. (H.Simpson Esq)

Tomorrow Fencer will give us his impression of Scooby Doo.

*appeals to red dragon to moderate this post*

Off to the Cave we go.....! :D

Er, define 'take', BBW. I'm trying to shake off a mental image of a mouse lying down, looking up at the elephant and squeaking, 'Take me, take me'.
What time's my next appointment.....?

I agree, IMup - it's a pain trawling through the tournaments to find they're already full.

I agree Stardust. I took it the same way myfanwy did - but a :-) would have confirmed it.

I clicked 'Bug Tracker' and it took me to Stevie's profile page. :o)

Sorry, Steve! j/k

Hahahaha!

Trust me, Jason, my pic gets worse if you enlarge it! The small pic hides a multitude of sins and wrinkles. :o)

Why do you want bigger photos, Jason? You can already see who's who - those that have put photos and not representative images like cartoons - so what's the point in enlarging them?

Heck, bwild, my photo is good for alligators too!

Don't worry, Andersp - I got your meaning! *wink*

I think these small pics are quite adequate. If anyone has a burning desire to see my mug any larger then they can trot off to yahoo HOME or wherever.

I say fill the whole square with Fencer's photo! :oD

Can we get back to Feature Requests now please guys? There's been plenty of input on this subject so please take any further thoughts and discussions elsewhere leaving this board free for feature requests.
Thanks.

SakisP: Fencer has been provided with the information regarding the three tavli games.

In the meantime I know of a good site that plays all three - portes, fevga and plakato. PM me if you're interested.

Shadowy Figure: Is that a feature request?

On second thoughts, I've deleted your post.

ID - Steve and bumble. Stumble!

Worrying isn't it? rofl!
