Argomento: can't see my pieces..
hey..is there something special i have to do to see the marbles in the halma games if i'm on webtv....all i see are squares that are shaded if pieces are on them but i can't see what color the pieces are...can't see any marbles at all...not a big problem right now but as soon as they get mixed up in the center of the board i'm not gonna know which shaded square is mine and which isn't...my opponet tells me they can see marbles but i can't...i've tried turning my machine off and back on which works sometimes at other sites for games but it doesn't effect this game at all....gonna be real confusing a few moves from now...lol....thanks

Argomento: Re: can't see my pieces..
well now i told the person i'm playing one of the games with about my problem about not being able to see the pieces and they have webtv too but they can see the pieces....so it's either just my machine or a certain brand or type of webtv that can't load the game properly...i'm gonna delete the one game because i don't see any reason in playing a game with that big of a disadvantage and i was wondering if you could delete my other one because i already made 2 moves and don't have that option anymore....i guess i just can't play that game here with my machine.....thanks again

Argomento: draw in Halma 10x10
Isn't it just to easy to draw in Halma 10x10 by playing on D1-E1-E2-F2-F3-G3-G4-H4-H5-I5-I6-J6-J7 + 2 pawns in the middle of the board ?

Argomento: Re: draw in Halma 10x10
Mangue... I just woke up and am having a hard time picturing what you are saying..
I personally have never had a draw in any Halma game, and don't really see how it would be ever possible. (Unless it's just a decision between the 2 players.)
If you look here, you will see that at brainking only .2% or so of the halma 10x10 games have ended in draw.

It is important to remember that it is NOT a requirement to jump... so there is ALWAYS a move available..

Argomento: Re: draw in Halma 10x10 [edited]
I realize I am wrong. Creating a barrer with D1-E1-E2-F2-F3-G3-G4-H4-H5-I5-I6-J6-J7 is not enough to achieve draw, because the opponent could still jump diagonally over that fence.

I also agree there is no stalemate possible in this game!

Argomento: Re: draw in Halma 10x10 [edited]
unless 1 piece is left in both starting yards and a player refuses to move it and just keeps moving another piece. but then that is unaceptable to do that

I believe in the rule that all pieces have to be out of your own yard within so many moves - I have almost won a game by "traping" the opponents piece there.

23. Ottobre 2004, 05:35:36
rod03801 
Yes, the rule is as follows:

"How to finish a game
The game is finished if one of the following conditions in fulfilled:
One of the players moved all his/her pieces to the opponent's yard. This player wins the game.
One of the players still has some own pieces at his/her yard and made more than 30 (for 8x8 version) or 50 (for 10x10 version) moves. This player loses the game. The player also loses the game if he/she moves one of his/her pieces back to own yard after the 30th (50th) move. This rule prevents the players to block own yard and avoid the opponent to move his/her pieces there."

Argomento: steps left
is it possible to get the amount of steps needed top reach your goal ? in a direct line calculated as you wouldnt jump over other pieces ?

i notice i miss something like this to decide if i want to be defensive or speed up :)

(i am just playing my first 4 games of halma .. so i dont have many tactics yet ;))

something like the 'points' in backgammon variants

2. Febbraio 2005, 14:44:45
Stardust 
Argomento: Re: steps left
Hrqls: I think that would hinder the game. Since there are so many ways to move each piece,the number would change with each move.
Although there is a beginning and an end similar to backgammon,the game is more likened to checkers in that number of moves remaining is subject to each subsequent move.

2. Febbraio 2005, 14:55:08
Hrqls 
*nod* thats true .. but the closer you get to your goal the less steps in a straight line without jumping over other pieces .. just think like bg for calculating the straight line steps, not like halma :)

so the number of steps wouldnt be the actual number of moves, but more of a 'theoretical distance' :)

3. Febbraio 2005, 01:58:53
rod03801 
Hrqls.. once you play the game more, you will not find that sort of feature necessary..
I think a number like that would be misleading. It is different with backgammon, as the number of pips remaining is quite straight forward.

3. Febbraio 2005, 08:59:55
Hrqls 
ok .. i guess i will have to play it more then :)

(still have to finish my first one .. am learning)

thanks :)

1) Need to be a knight or above
2) Need to have knowledge of the game / have played some/many games (not necessarly good at the game)
3) Need to be able to get along with people & be fair to all users.

If you are interested, please send Me a Message and a short note that you would like to moderate the Halma board. (and if you want to add other reasons why you would make a good moderator - that is fine.)

In a few days, we will start to look at everyone who applied and decide who would be best suited for this position.

Argomento: Brave Eagles Halma fellowship
In the Brave Eagles Halma fellowship, there is always a mini, fast tournament of 8x8 and 10x10 set up and ready to start as soon as 4 or 5 people are signed up! As soon as it is started, a new one is created.

:-D

Those who aren't members of the fellowship can visit the link in this post and request membership.

That 10x10 one should start in an hour or 2.. I changed the start date to Septmember since there are 4 people.. It should be set up and started the next time the system checks. It wll accept a 5th person, if one more person in the fellowship wants to join in.

rod03801: I've been really guilty of not checking in with the fellowship. I was so busy the last couple of months, that I didn't know up from down!

Now that I'm working from home, I'm finding time to check in all day. Ahhhhh, the life of leisure! (working 12 hour days of course, since there are no timeclocks! lol)

15. Ottobre 2005, 21:38:36

I have been guilty of neglecting that fellowship in the past. I was awfully busy, and my free time was more concentrated on the Club WebTV fellowship.
A month or so ago, I decided to get Brave Eagles back on its feet. Added 10x10 to the fellowship. (At one time, I believe there was a seperate fellowship for each.. Back when they were originally KM fellowships)

The game oriented fellowships don't seem to be doing well. Has anyone noticed that??? I wonder why. The non-game oriented fellowships are quite active. I have a heck of a time getting people to participate in Club WebTV and Brave Eagles Halma.. It's always the same small core of people who participate. Thank goodness for them! lol..


Not meaning to go off topic... :-)

Actually, I've always been interested in WebTV club, but since I don't have WebTV, I've never tried to join.

Well, the post itself really wasn't! lol... but my question in the 2nd paragraph could cause an off topic conversation to start..

but this one certainly is! :-P

shot, who cares about on topic, when there has not been ANY convo in 6 months? I think we can deal with a little chat.

oh well in that case, I wish I could join the web TV F/S too- I hear it's always a good time in there...oh well Eriisa- guess we're doomed cause we have our computers *sniffle, sniffle*

But I joined the halma games
(sorta on topic!)

15. Ottobre 2005, 22:04:42
rod03801 
lol, I would love to have both of you in there.. But it was decided a while back (with input from members) that the fellowship should remain for WebTV users only. It was ammended that anyone who uses a set top box of any sort (like NTL in Britain) could join.

I'd like to congratulate baddessi on her appointment as a co-mod of this board.
Baddessi is a wonderful, wonderful person and is extremely dedicated to this site. She is a huge asset to the world of online games playing and brainking should be proud to have her here.

(Hey, bumble, this smarm thing is quite easy when you get the hang of it! Now pass the soap, I have to wash my mouth out...)

Only joking, baddy! Congrats!
