Auction system?
I would say that people like to bid, no matter if an auction is running on eBay or a non-auction site (which is BrainKing's status at this moment), because our laptop auction is currently showing 15 different bidders, even at the quite high bidding amount level.
Which brings up a question, if it is worth implementing our own auction system which would be specific for BrainKing users, with significant advantages for paying members etc. Since the fundamental code is already added, being tested at the mentioned auction, it would be very easy to turn it to a new part of BrainKing, dedicated to bidding related events (or, as someone has already mentioned, a "mini eBay").
I like this idea because there is nothing to lose except a few days of programming work. And we like to explore new opportunities and experiment with them, especially when they can be integrated to BrainKing and offer some unique features.
The countdown has been started.

I would MUCH rather see you fix some of the small (but annoying) bugs than implement something new, especially non-game related. I assume you are in business to make a living with BrainKing. I know you do much of this because you enjoy it, but I think it is very important from a businesman's point of view to fix bugs, no matter how small. Even if it's not what you consider a bug, there are at least three small matters tha I am aware of that do not function correctly: (1) Some games are numbered beginning with move 0 when they shouldn't be leaving the move numbers incorrect for the whole game, (2) The last Espionage family link in each game's list of moves does not function properly, and (3) at the start of each game, the backgammon dice are backwards (small die listed first). I'd like to see these and any other small fixes performed before something like an auction is implemented. Remember, paying members will use any excuse to leave your site...so don't give them any!

If someone wants an excuse, he will find it, no matter what I do and don't. It's a plain truth.
About the bugs you have mentioned, none of the is critical, and the 1) and 3) are not true anyway, as I have seen myself.
I know what I am doing. And believe me, BrainKing is not living on paying members.

Are you calling me a liar?!?

I think he is saying they are not "bugs" because they are implemented the way he planned on implementing them. As far as #3, the smaller die is only listed first in the cases where your opponent "lost the initial roll". I don't see it as a bug either, but it may be just that I've gotten used to it those times when it happens. (It used to mess me up occasionally at first).

Ah, perhaps you are right. Certainly something needs to be more intuitive w/r/t that first roll. It confuses me too often.
