tippyc: As busy as Fencer is he'll get to the typo error in time.

this is on the first page of defining a new game, at the top it says

"Use this form to create a new game with non-specified opponent name. The game invitation will be posted to "Waiting Games" area where can be picked by any player."

it should say

"Use this form to create a new game with non-specified opponent name. The game invitation will be posted to "Waiting Games" area where it can be picked by any player."

fakar10: OK, it was 600€

redfrog: Yes, it ended a while ago, and the winner stayed anonymous. I don't remember the price exactly, but I think it was something around 700-800€...

joshi tm: im pretty sure it ended a while back.... anybody remember the details?

What happened to the Laptop auction?

lol, I went back to the games, and its not doing it now. Must have just been a fluke.

ok, I'm going through my Ludo games and they are ALL rolling a 1. 8 in a row seems strange.

Ok who loaded the dice they won't roll?

inpassant: Hi, is your icon from the film 'Clockwork Orange'?

rabbitoid: i actually lol'd at that one

rabbitoid: Oh, you got this one too ?

Rabbitoid : ROFL :D

nabla: be glad it doesn't say "brain disorder"

I won a prize team tournament and in my brain history I can read brain order.

pauloaguia:
yes it says brain order on mine to

pauloaguia: In my case it said "Brains order"

"Snoopy": If you click on Brains on your Profile it should go to the Brains history page... that might help you.

"Snoopy": It happened to me once and it took me some time to understand that a team I was in had just won a prize team tournament.

can someone purchase brains for other ppl without them knowing
the reason i ask is ive just found ive got 200 extra brains and ive no idea where they have come from

Eriisa: I extended my membership in the end as you suggested, but only by 6 months as things are tight right now, and did not get any vacation days

So i guess you only get them if you purchase a year, maybe that should be looked at

So i still request we be able to purchase a certain amount of vacation days a year

I could not go to a funeral last week, as it was away from here and i would of had to stay over and did not know if i would be able to get back in time. Luckily it was a family friend and not family which would of been a must, but it still would of been nice to attend.

This could crop up for weddings, hospital things etc.. etc..

Vikings: Ha ha very funny.

heavenlyemma: you don't think that that is a fair handicap?

Backgammon (heavenlyemma vs. bouncer) is bugged and I'm running low on time to take my move. Could you fix it please.

And yes, I did report it on bug tracker.

Fencer: is it just me or have you not written anything in your blog since August 10th?

rod03801: I have no idea. I have to look at the code.

Fencer, I notice that the BKRs for teams in the site Team Tournaments are still the average BKRs of all the members of the teams.

Is that what you intended? I just wondered, now that teams do get BKRs from team vs. team challenges.

Personally, I think I'd like the site Team Tournaments to reflect the same BKR as the team vs. team ones.

ok guys, play nice now...enough and back on topic please..thanks

Family Man: I had hoped that Fencer should give us some info about his server(-s) but he seems to hide his head in the sand and answer: "What are you talking about" instead.

Andersp: What ever did happen with that new server anyway??? I seem to recall a push a year or two ago for people to purchase more tee shirts etc, all to help out Fencer to buy a new server? I thought it must have been bought already, but I guess more money is still needed? Maybe another black rook sale will do the trick?

Andersp: What are you talking about?

Fencer:  How long do you estimate it will take til you buy the new server?  You know this is getting rather annoying.

gambler104: When I upgraded to a Rook membership, half of my remaining Knight time was added to my Rook. So it would be circa one and a half week - minus the time of processing the order maybe it will be a week.

puupia: I believe Fencer adds the equivalent on to to your rook membership. Probably would amount to a couple of weeks.

What happens to the days that are left from my previous membership if i purchace another? I've been here for few weeks now and i've liked the site a lot. So i bought the bishop membership. I think i'd like to play even more games! But if i buy the rook membership, what happens to the rest of my bishop period? I know its only 2 euros and i've spent almost a week out of that.. But i'd still like to know how it goes if and when i upgrade my membership.

gambler104: Agreed

I just find if funny though on a site like this, when you think how many Logik games have been played.
We know of 2 games (the one i mentioned & Roses one) that had identical codes, BUT thats only the people who noticed. I have to confess if my opponent had not told me i would not of noticed

lambudai: We understand that, which is why we suggested to send a PM to Fencer, so he (as owner of the site) can handle it.

MadMonkey: The statistical odds of the code being the same are 1/ 32768 since the actual code does not matter. It is a statistical oddity, but should happen occasionally.

lambudai: the one he is playing against is the same person, so he plays with two identities

Rose: Its crazy, wish i had a bet on that

32,768 possible codes, but to actually use them in the same game is crazy

MadMonkey: I've had it happen once as well!

A funny thing just happened in a game of Logik
My opponent just solved my code (luck i think lol), but looking at the game, we find that both our codes were the same.
Now i used Random to pick my code, yet currylms set hers herself..................how mad is that to both end up with the same code in the same game

lambudai: please send this message to fencer, he can look into it a bit further and take action if needed

lets not start a whole series of posts about this ;)

Fencer, I'm curious, when was the last time there was no one at Brainking? (Not meaning times when there was a problem with the site, of course.)

I'm guessing it was sometime in 2003.

Just wondered if that was a statistic you had.

redfrog: Well i just tried to remove lovelysharon & joshi tm from the Ludo Team that has already been entered, and good news it would not let me

So it looks like the option just appears, BUT will not actually let you remove players from a Team that has been entered.

It will let me remove players that are signed for the Team BUT NOT entered in a Tournament though.

So we have a bit of a mix, just because the Captain or Boss is on a Team the option should really be there all the time so anyone not entered in a Team Tournament can be removed, so it is a bug still i think lol

At least we know why its sometimes there & sometimes not

redfrog: Well, the option is there for me to if i am not entered for that Team, so i guess i can.

If i can find a Team member online i will try it out

MadMonkey: you can still remove a member from a team that is signed up for the team tournament? or a fellowship challenge....

redfrog: Great , you found the reason

BUT

I still think there is a bug in the system

I dropped out of my Frog Finder Team as we had too many player and the Team has been entered.

Now, i can still remove players from the Team, well the option is there anyway, i have not tried as i do not want the poor system to break

So it seems, it will only take the option away from a Boss or Captain IF they are in the selected Team Tournament.

So Monkey verdict = Bug
