Features everyone secretly wants on OGS but will never be implemented

I already do this by hand.
Not that difficult to require automatic tasks. :smile:

Yep. I thought it could go a bit against the rating system so prone to not be well accepted, but I find it fun and respectable in itself. We could put a name (“duel”?) fix an automatic format, a bit like a ladder format, and spread it between OGS players.

This is hilarious. Now I want this.

But also, doesn’t conditional resign just mean you should resign? :wink: I need a conditional pass though

A conditional resign might be used if your opponent does not fall for your last chance desperate trick play. However, if the opponent does fall for a trick play, then the conditional move might want to select something else, since then there may still be a chance to win.

(this is a video you can play by clicking on it)

Edit: Sorry, this was actually implemented. You can view a game, open developer tools and paste this line into the javascript console:

DOC=document;DOC.getElementsByClassName("goban-container")[0].insertAdjacentHTML('afterend','<div style="background:salmon;color:black;padding:2px;z-index:99;"><input id="SPEDE" type="range" min="0" max="1000" value="15" style="width:100%"/></div>');ROT=0;setInterval(function() {ROT=ROT+DOC.getElementById("SPEDE").valueAsNumber;DOC.getElementById("board-canvas").parentNode.style.transform=`rotate(${ROT/80}deg)`; }, 33);

Secretly desired feature: For those games where your opponent just doesn’t know when to resign, Autopilot™ will play decent moves (minus 3-5 points per move), and your game will be hidden until the game becomes interesting again.

Autopilot button only revealed if you are ahead by 50 pts!

A trick move tool. With a pattern recognition behind, every time a trick move may be disponible on the board you get it as suggestion.
Let’s get some muscle for OGS community!
For make it working, as soon as a player chose that move, the trick box vanish for the opponent.

Suggestion from a friend playing live…

I suggested already autopass blitz mode somewhere.
This is not crazy idea and I hope it will implemented. It will actually make possible 1-3 second / move blitz. If you don’t click in 1 second, then you just pass, game don’t instantly ends after starting. Current 1s/move is absurd - this will fix it.

Would go well with the trick box

An alternative is to have it send custom emotes when you press resign like

I think this one is kind of fun because it looks like someone flipping the board but it also says lol :slight_smile: Thanks @yebellz

Totally off-topic but could anyone tell me what this switch does?

Related, my guess?

Or this could be not “Full AI Play” but “AI Help” that could be activated say 3 times per game. If this option will be available for both players, it looks feasible and quite interesting.

Instead of numbers or pourcentage, I would like a small saĂŻ avatar, with a great variety of sentences and expression to comment moves. He could appear on kibbitz too.

This and the autopass feature would be very sensible additions.

What about cartoon ducks connected with score estimator and making funny faces accordingly?
