Rose: Yes, for this very first tournament. The next [regular] tournaments will probably follow some restrictions according to the game limit of any particular membership.

YOU probably answered this question before.. If i am playing 48 games regular and tourney ( I am allowed 50 games in my membership) and I get to round 2 of say half the tournies I joined.. am I allowed to enter round 2 even if I havent enough space in my membership and it would take me to say 60 or more games?

MadMonkey: Exactly. I think that it is better than remove such players from the tournament because of not enough empty slots.
And upgrading is a good idea :-)

Your quite welcome Fencer!.. :-) Kudos on all your hard work....I'd also like to wish everyone good luck in the tourney, well not too much, cuz I wanna win some....lol.... :)

Just a quick question Fencer. Are any spare spaces in normal games taken over by the Tourny ones ??? I had just one normal place left last night, now the Tourny has started i have 26 games which is 6 over my limit of 20. Does this mean i won't be able to start any more normal games until i am down to 20 again ???
p.s. When i get my Bank sorted, i would like to upgrade :))

Um, I've prepared Nackgammon and Anti Backgammon so far. Race is a good idea, I'll try to add it ASAP.

Raidant: Fencer did talk about adding backgammon variants, but never said which ones. I imaging backgammon race will be in there, but can't say for sure. Welcome to the site!! :-)

EDDIE, YOU HAVE A POINT THERE.

I AM NEW HERE AND I LIKE IT VERY MUCH. I HAVE MET 3 NEW FRIENDS SO FAR. AND I LIKE THE GAMES YOU HAVE HERE. THE PEOPLE THAT I AM PLAYING ARE FRIENDLY AND VERY NICE TO TALK TO. I WISH THAT I HADFOUND OUT ABOUT THIS SITE SOONER. I HAVE ONLY BEEN ON THE NET FOR A MONTH. I LIKE PLAYING GAMES AND MEETING PEOPLE.

Hi Fencer, nice to meet you. You seem to be the GameWizzard here. :D I like BackGammon, as well BackGammon Race. That is played on the same kind of board; so perhaps you could add that game is as well?
As for this site: I am enjoying myself here very much. You have created a pretty intelligent site! ;-) Keep going! :-)

I agree MadMonkey!!!!...And may I be the first to challenge you to a backgammon game?....As if ya haven't beaten me enough already.....lol..... :-)

Well done Fencer :-) looking forward to it, keep it up....

Thanks Reds :-) Good news is that the Backgammon implementation is done and the game will be added within several days. It took so much time because the model is far different from "normal" games [chess, reversi] but it is finished. At last!

I have only joined this site a short time ago, but I just wanted to say. this site ROCKS!!!...Out of all the sites I play at this one is by far the best....I have made some really good friends here already, everyone seems so nice.... :) Great job Fencer!!!!!!!!!...I look forward to the backgammon.... :)

I have to agree about the brightness but I am on a webtv and my screen is 32 inches so it's somewhat bigger to look at. But as Kevin said....or meant...that "anyone" can go to the settings page and change the background color. If it's that big of a problem then maybe he could make the main background color as gray and white as change instead of vice-versa. Maybe that would help to solve the problem.

I DID say I "personally" don't have the problem..

He did say (i think on this board) that if you go to your settings page, there is a darker colour scheme (with a grey background instead of white).

Fencer, I do not "personally" have a problem with the brightness.. some of the people I play (or HAVE played) apparently have some kind of eye problems where a bright screen tends to hurt in some way, like give headaches, burn, make them squint, go crosseyed, I don't know, but it IS bright and must be bright enough to keep people from coming on to play cuz I just got another win by defalt (and you know that's not right).. also some people may not be able to make screen ajustments, enough to compensate without character component distortion.. my latest loss online was "mogal", and I'm talking about a "friend" here, not the game.. Now just wondering, is there a lot involved to implement a choice of color or different shade backgrounds..? Sorry Fencer, I'm not trying to sound rude, just trying to explain the best I can.. Everyone knows you work very hard on this site.. :-))

Hi, thanks to a friend I am new here on the site. Looks cool. I am also playing at IYT, but since a new year asks you to take new steps and perhaps find new challenges, I am here. lol Well, anyway, just wanted to say "hello and have a wonderful day" and perhaps one of you would like to invite me for a game? :-)

Kevin: Favorite Discussion Boards should be sorted alphabeticaly. I'll check it.
About Player List - yes, you are right, I'll probably give it a higher priority at my TODO list ;-)

At least on my 800x600 resolution the 32 links to the 32 pages of players make the page too wide, so i have to scroll sideways to see it all. They should start going on the next line :-)

I always wondered how it decided on what order to display these in on my game sheet. Seems to be a different order every day! lol

Yes, she sure is!! :-) It's too bad she's leaving (or maybe left already!)

No, Badger came from GT, and went back there.
She is a real nice lady.

Cheers Fencer :)

poor bug... lol :p

Yes, there is a little bug at the search method. I'll fix it.

Thanks Fencer :o) xxx

I noticed that with the search box on the Player List it does not always come up with all the players that match what you type in. I'm not sure why though!

I asked a couple of friends to join brainking, i just caught up with them and they said they had. I asked them for there i.d's and tried to search for them in the search box on players list, but came up with nothing. So i went through the names & i found them - is this a problem you know about Fencer ???

Oh yeah.....I just want to say "Bye Mr/Ms Potty Mouth." :) I wouldn't want anyone to think I am rude! LOL

Fencer....thanks so much for the "help". Your site is awesome and I must say even though I am new to all the game sites I LOVE yours the best. The only thing is.....you should have a warning label added....."This site is addictive!" LOL

Lamby: Restored. And Happy New Year :-)

Hi Fencer, Happy New Year to you! :o) My checkers game against Scarecrow has 'timeouted' & Im not sure if its due to the system bug you mentioned or not? The game ID number is 9516. If its my fault, then my apologies to Scarecrow.

Was she one of the ones who were cat fighting on the IYT "other web sites" discussion board?

I havent read these message boards for a while & what a shock when I did! Too many people with too much time on their hands getting irate at things that arent so important, are they? Well everyone, I wish you all a Happy, Peaceful & Respecful New Year! And just enjoy having fun being able & lucky enough to play games on a great site! :o)

Please dont confuse me with F*Y*T*...or otherwise the woman now known as X...I had absolutely nothing to do with her!!! LOL...she had real problems!!!!

the other 2 that i play at are, pente.net and allmixedup.com

that should be this sites slogan....brainking rules.... like iyt has crush your oppenent? yea right like ya can crush someone playin one of these games haha...we are kings,queens etc here so sayin we rule!! is like part of it

Brain king definitly rules! we need bumper stickers!
Go play at brainking.com!

for future people that may complain fencer.,..maybe you should have it say non-refundable for memberships i did see that at another site not sure where but maybe that is needed...unless it is and i missed it, brainking rules!!....

yeah for disabling user "X" way to go Fencer!

Mom: Yes, it sometimes happen. I will look at it. You do nothing wrong :-)
About the annoying user - I've just disabled him/her.

Yep, those are the 2 :-) I have heard of others that other people play at, but don't remember what they are. You can try searching on any search engine for something like "turn based board games" if you want to find more.

try www.dailygammon.com and www.little golem.net

Kevin, I read a post from you that said you play on five game sites. I know only 3 sites.
Brainking, Goldtoken, and Itsyourturn.

I like brainking alot because it is fast compared to the others. And GT would be better if they would let the peopl who don't pay to play the game variations. I am a member at GT for now.
What I wanted to know is what are the other sites you play at, because I hve been trying to find some more.

I have noticed that sometimes the "Friends On-line" shows "none" when there are friends on-line. I have checked to make sure that I have them listed as my on-line friends and sometimes they show up and sometimes they don't until I go to "Who is On-line". It usually shows up there but just not at the bottom of the page. Am I doing something wrong?

Been reading all the post and I want to say that I honestly don't like the user name. I have a daughter that plays on here and I'm sorry....but the name is a bit much. I do have one question though....you said your chess team left this site. Did they have problems quitting as well? I am fairly new to this site and I don't want to buy any membership at the moment because I am reading post like these and think it best to wait to see what all the site is about. Good and bad. There is no perfect site and no perfect person. And I'm sorry, but I would not open any mail with the name "F*** Y** T**" as the sender. I'm sure if everyone could calm down a bit, these issues could be resolved.

Thanks! I hear you about the time issue...i'm currently playing games at 5 game sites, but this one is by far my favorite! I'll miss you here, even if i see you at GT! :-)

aww Kevin, your such a sweetie!!!! Its just that I have only so much time available to play. I am the vise pres of our chess team and have a commitment to play where the team plays. Its nothing personally against this site...my feelings are not always the same as the team...but the team decided as a whole to leave. I am left here when I didnt have time to be here in the first place....some of the people here are truely wonderful folk!! You are one of them!!!! And I too have thoroughly enjoyed playing you!!! Please do send me that invite at GT!!!!!!!!!!
