pauloaguia: Thank you! I looked your link: one player has in his profile "Last action: 9. August 2006, 21:09:01 - never logged in" there. We can see a lot of such never logged in referred users in BrainKing.

Would it be possible to have the option of deleting any signed up player automatically when the tournament is about to start, that goes over or under the BK ratings that are set........

How about Triple Gammon style team matches?

Why is it that you have to wait for tourney games to finish before you can leave a fellowship (if you wish to leave)? Can this be changed?

Thanks,

Phil (rednaz23)

rednaz23: Ask the BB to remove you from the fellowship.Your games stay in tact but you cant access the FS any longer.

Rose: That brings up an interesting point... what if the BB won't remove you for whatever reason?

rednaz23: Because there was a request 4 year ago to make this rule.

I would like to see an RSS feed for games where it's my turn to play, so I can instantly jump to the relevant game from my browser bookmarks, etc.

It would be nice if we had an option when creating games that if a game or match was a tie then you would play a tie breaker.

*If playing a odd multiple game match and you tie then you would switch colors then play one more game.
*If playing a even multipl game match then you would keep playing 2 game matches until one of you win a match or you offer draw to aponent.

... so that I can go through all but one or two without having to keep reminding myself to select a different pond on the "Play and goto" combobox each time I play.

mctrivia: If its a 2 win match, doesn't that mean that you have to WIN 2 games to advance? So if you win one, and your opponent wins the next, there would automatically be a third game........

pauloaguia: Please check if it is working.

Fencer: It seems to be, yes.
Thank you

(by the way, no preview in the inlined reply text box?)

pauloaguia: Not yet. It needs a more sophisticated system first.

Eriisa: In multi-win-matches, yes. In multi-game-matches, no. If a 2 games match ends 1:1, it is a draw.

Gordon Shumway: ok, that's what I thought. Thanks

Eriisa: currently it ends as a draw. I sugest that a 2 game, 4 game or 6 game match... ending as a draw should be able to play another 2 game match as tie breaker.

mctrivia: It was mentioned a while ago that how about including (where possible) the point scores.

So in one sided games (Mancala, Cheversi etc...)
If both players win a game, it would be a draw, BUT use the points scored to donate the winner overall.

MadMonkey: that is definetly another option. My proposal gets rid of some peoples fears of the game not beeing about winning by so much but just about winning.

Fencer,

Can you change the subjects of game notices so that when a match is over, it's different from the message I get when just one game within a match is over.

Let's say I want to challenge someone who I play frequently. It's really hard to sort thru all my undeleted messages to find the one that's from the end of a match. And that's the easiest place to start a new game invitation, so it would be nice if those emails were easy to spot.

Thad: I did ask once before for something similar.

As we can turn of Fellowship messages from Big Bosses, it would also be nice to be able to turn off game over messages either totally or just part of incomplete games ones off.

Also, in Team matches, when the match is over it would be nice if all members of the Team got a result message

For those members who support other members could we get an automated message when the person whose membership we are sponsoring is about to expire (say 2 or 3 days).

It would be very handy for those who sponsor Bishops (mainly) and wish to renew it for that person before it expires

I have found a couple that are too polite to mention it to me

gborland: http://brainking.com/en/GameListRSS/games.xml?u=14825

fakar10: Thanks, is that new or did I just never notice it? :)

gborland: Don't know. I just noticed it myself. :)

fakar10: I reckon it must of been about 15 mins ago, when the site was inaccessible for 60 secs or so, that normally happens when Fencer adds something

Could it be possible to have the option to send a message just to the Fellowship Captains of teams ?

On each person's Profile page there is a link for stairs, that leads to a list of one's own stairs that they are involved in.

I request that a dot appear to the left of the type of stairs that a player is currently playing a match on. That way, one can quickly look at their Stairs list and see which stairs they are currentlly not actively playing on.

This is helpful in making it easier for each player to keep active on the stairs.

could we have an option that the pond can start straight away once the limit is reached

"Snoopy": That is already there

WellyWales:
oops i really do need glasses

"Snoopy": I've added it 20 minutes ago.

Fencer:
thanks

At the moment, when you hover over the membership level of someone you get (Fencer, Czech Republic, White Brain King(forever), Male), for example.(would be better over the name though lol)

Presumably it get this information from the profile.
If so could it also pick up the persons actual name, if they have added one.
I often write messages to people, but a lot of the time i can never remember there proper names as i know so many people after 5 years here, i tend to forget lots of the ones i do not talk to often

Its just nice to be polite i think

What would be better, is if we could some how link that hover to the description box in our friends list.
That way if they do not show there name publicly we could have it in there along with any other nice info you may have on that person (family, work etc...) and would all be shown just by hovering over there name or membership level

Great for when talking to someone and even better if that could be a clickable link back to the decription box,. Then if they mention something interesting we could click and go and add it to there description

When I look at ongoing tournaments, it's very difficult to know the standings. Reason is some finished few games, some have already finnished all games.

For this reason, I would like an extra column where % of max or someting like that is presented.

Any chance that it's slowing down my moves load time? Last couple days, the pages load immediately, but I'm getting an hourglass for a couple seconds every time I make a move or click a box to go elsewhere in games. I'm using Firefox (of course) & on broadband

Actually, everytime I "click" anything, I'm getting an hourglass for a couple seconds...any ideas? Or is there a way I could turn off the RSS and see if that's what's doing it maybe?

Fencer: Do you think you could fix so we dont need to get (1 new) if anyone we have on hide has posted on a board?

Andersp: Hmmm. Maybe.

Fencer: Oh.... Fencer is in a "maybe" mood - better try to take advantage of it.

Hey, can we have Dark Ataxx: Ataxx (coan.net, 2007-05-01 17:21:09)

Hey, can we have Frog Legs (Frog Finder co-op): Frog Finder (coan.net, 2007-06-12 17:04:15)

(added because I forgot it)

Hey, can we have Double-Choice & Triple-Choice Backgammon: Link to site here

Fencer: I take that as "Yes, sure"

Andersp: Nothing is "sure", except death and taxes.

Fencer, in Fellowships, on the main page where all our challenges are, could we have the list of RUNNING ones so they can be sorted by Name, Opponent , Game type, Match type & Creator please (well really only Opponent, Game type & Creator to make it simple)

I like to keep track of all the Madhouse ones, but there are so many it is hard to see which Teams have matches going or not

thankyou

Fencer: Ok..well "Yes" is good enough

srnity: The RSS feed is not delivered with the page, the characters needed to "promote" it eat not more than 0.16% of the overall page data. This is definitely not causing hourglasses... :)

Gordon Shumway: Good to know - thanks for the input

Fencer:

Thats what I keep hearing, but I have never paid taxes  LOL

Arctic Warrior: Uh-oh..................better get your checkbook ready (and start selling ALL your stuff)

Arctic Warrior: You're not dead yet either, so you have everything going for you!!! :-)

coan.net: And the other 250 listed games (for I know the list was finished for the first 85....) :):)
