Groucho: sorry too busy on playing my 2200 games lol :) i think we should have a group of people that could think or create new games to beat all other sites :)

francescolr: He's already beaten all other sites. ;)

The only thing left to improve this site
Is to impliment autopass with all his might
But if autopass has no system support
I will be defeated and have no retort

No matter the outcome
Here's a sure bet
Brainking's the best games site
Anywhere on the net!

And once again Fencer
Before you reply
You must answer in rhyme
(so give it a try)

';)

Groucho:
I agree with all my heart
(This reply to play my part)
Please give autopass a shot
What we want's not what we got

Let me help fencer, if I might
His lame excuses make us fight
We can forget all the rest
What Francoir said is the best
The system wont support our plight
Alas we must give up this fight :(

I think it´s not a good idea. I can not imagine a game of chess with the white as black and viceversa. In this case, would the colour of the squares change too? If it doesn´t change then the queen black would be on a white square and the white queen on a black square with the current colour squares and in the other case then the right square of the corner it´d be a black square.

I think if it´s not possible a specific solution for each kind of game then it´s better the white starts always the game than playing with the colours changed.

Matarilevich: That's precicely what Fencer is doing. In Chess, white moves first. In Shogi, Go, Pente, Checkers, etc black moves first. And so on and so forth.

jurek: Ok!

jurek: not all checkers...

Andre Faria: I'm certainly no checkers expert; I just used what he said in his announcement. Sorry for any confusion. :)

Andre Faria: Portuguese Checkers are not implemented here yet.

the ability to enter notes on a game would be a lot more useful if one's notes appeared above the board on subsequent moves, right above the opponent's comments, if any. as it is, i make notes and often forget i've made them, especially if some hours or days elapse between the time i make the note and my next move. i'll make a note for my next move and then never see the note again, or only see it when the game's over. that's not a very useful note.

plaintiger: right above the note is a link saying "show above the board" :)

edit: and it defaults the position!

I would like to be able to see which fellowships have teams without my being the captain. As it is now, only the captain can see which teams are available to be challenged. I want to be able to view the teams, not challenge them. It's way to cumbersome to go to each fellowship and see who has a team for us to challenge.

Fencer: does that mean they will be?

pauloaguia: Sure, why not.

How about a backgammon variant using the "old english rule" that not more than five checkers can be on one point at the same time? I used to play it like this ;)

I have a friend (Really, I do!) that is trying to register on BrainKing. His account is "waiting for approval". Is this something Fencer has to do or can the Globs do it?

My suggestion is to have an automated way...register, BK sends a confirmation email, user must respond to that email to finish registration.

Summertop: That is something only Fencer can do.

Summertop: I think it used to be like that , but was altered to stop multinicks, bad names ect , or so i believe .

Jason: I can see that...

So, Fencer, can Global Mods be trusted to approve new members?

Hi Fencer :)

Thanks for adding Go to the site. That's one of the games I've been waiting for.

Are there any plans to make different board/piece sizes available in our settings like we have for other games?

I forgot to ask that Go be added to the stairs too, please :)

Summertop: It's not a matter of trust. Nobody but me or Liquid can do it. At least now.

TKR101010: Sure. A bigger board/piece set.
Yeah, stairs, of course.

Fencer: OK.

How do you down size Ludo on game sheet I can't seem to find it.

Mr. Shumway: oh my goodness! i didn't see that at all (obviously)! :D thank you!

In this moment i have 20 unfinished single tournaments. In my profile, i can see 18 of them when i set the filter as running and the other 2 when i set it as open. My question is: Which is the difference between running and open?

Well, i found the answer. Running and Open depends of the parameter Status of the tournament. However i don´t know if it works correctly.

I have 2 two tournaments as open because some kind of games haven´t started but my games are running. It doesn´t seem very logic.

It'd be nice if we could see Total and Average BKR scores on the profile page that shows all the individual BKR scores.
There are already stats showing the best Totals and averages, so I don't see why not

(or is this one of the things only paying members can see?)

M132T003C: It´s free but it´s just shown the best fifty on the stats page, maybe in a next future all players...

First Five Open Backgammon.
Was filled close to 1 hour ago how come it is not started.
This is a 1 hour game.
WE have had them before and they all started right away.

Tournaments only start every hour (I think five minutes after the hour). So you probably just needed to wait.

Matarilevich: I know it's free because I can see it. My suggestion was to show Total and Average BKR for each player on their profile page, or at least your own

M132T003C: Your suggestion was done some time ago but it´s not available for nobody (free or not) in this moment.

I'm sure this has been asked many times so pardon my laziness for not taking the time to search through these messages but is their any chance we can see dots and boxes brought to this site?

I have a simple request for a game... Mastermind. or some variation of it... teh game is rather elementary but im sure you could come up with some sorta way to make the game more challenging. such as playing both sides of the puzzle and whoever guesses it correctly in less guesses wins.

CRY ME A RIVER: We are having the same problem today with Hyper backgammon 1 Hour Time.I am getting other games trought.Plus i am not getting any reply from no one here.

I think it would be interesting to see something like record versus top 100 or some other number. This might be difficult because of the frequent BKR changes, but it's just an idea.

Is it possible to see when someone has a planned vacation?

gambler104: Just go to their profile (click on their name). If they have set any vacation days, it should display there (most paying members leave it to the autovacation system, though, so you may see nothing)

Is it possible to have them translated to the language of our choice?

gambler104: Impossible.

How about a board for famous & favorite Quotes? I think it would be a hit.

Fencer: I don't know if you work with an "ad go-between site" (don't know the right term here), but if not, you could focus ads from certain languages or certain markets (countries or states), to certain people with those characteristics. This could focus your ads to the people, and could increase your funds through these ads. However, I doubt this will work! Because I am sure you probably work directly with some one else that does the ads automatically for you! But you could always send an idea like that to them, and intergrate your system with theirs... if that would be possible, you could both make more money... just an idea. Discard if it doesn't work. :-)

rednaz23: Because I am sure you probably work directly with some one else that does the ads automatically for you!

1) I doubt it.
2) I've always loved when somebody said "I'm sure you probably...."

If that is the case, than it should be much easier to create ads to a person specific info...

Pedro... - 200 wins huh?

Nothingness: I like mastermind too, I spent hours playing that when I was a kid!

Would it be possible to play Ludo with a doubling cube?
