Fencer: Just a query....your blog says the easter egg promotion goes to the 13th but hover over the egg and it says the 14th...??

Constellation36:   Some people do that just because they enjoy giving away memberships.  The fun is in the mystery  ;)

Ian: Hi. So am I.

Constellation36: Maybe Fencer, trying to whet your appetite

Artful Dodger: Someone must have given you a present

Oh i see. But ho is he/she? And why he has given me 6 months of Brain Knight for free without even myself know it?

Babe68: ponds are multi-player games. here are the rules http://brainking.com/en/OldFAQ?ht=21
Jump in and play a few. it does take a few to get the hang of it, also if you have questions you can ask here http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=77

Fellowships are private groups within the site, there are social and gaming fellowships, most welcome anyone, if you have more questions you can ask here http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=24

Babe68: ponds are a game where you bet a certain amount of "points" and the last person standing wins. Fellowships are groups you can join an take place in in house tournies, stairs, matches against other fellowships, chat with other members, join teams, and take place in team tournies

I just got a paid membership here at BK so the "members only" things are still new to me. Can anyone explain to me what ponds are?

Also Fellowships?

Thanks in advanced :)

Fencer: thank you mine is fixed :)

Bernice: Yes, it is. I will manually add bonus months to all orders prior to the bugfix.

Fencer: is that in answer to my PM.....if so thanks :)

I've just noticed that the membership bonus checker does not have the current year updated, which is the reason why the bonus was not automatically added. To be fixed ASAP.

nodnarbo: i see it
here is another one i found, can you spot the dragon?
On the LHS single click on 'Tip of the day,' then single click on 'Fellowship,' then single click on 'Favourite boards,' then on 'Friends online' and finally on 'Date and time,' then press the windows key, then quickly press the 'U' key twice!
Enjoy

I found an Easter Egg! all you have to do is click on it

Fencer: Thanks!

Fencer:   That about sums it up! 

Pedro Martínez: right, thanks

nodnarbo: If you find a green piece in the third set, I'll tell you. :)

So I was taking a look at the game settings page just now, and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me the difference between the first and third sets of Logik pieces.

This will definitely take abuse of the system down. If a game now last longer than a year, it is probably an Anti Backgamon game with loose time controls.

AbigailII:

Fencer: Well, there's the one who must not be named.

Snoopy: No, if someone gives me the list of them

Hrqls: Yes, of course. I thought that system was already created some time ago. I didn't see Fencer post. lol.

Undertaker.: in the new system you brain rooks can have a max of 35+10+5 vacation days per year

in the old system you could more than that .. each renewel would give a brain rook 35 extra days .. the 70 days you speak about are probably bought in the old system

give the new system some time to start :)

Undertaker.: That is a good question, I don't think it was a bug by Fencer's reply to the person complaining.

(V): If i understood, a player can only have 50 (35+10+5) vacation days a year, right? So, how is possible a person have 70 (35+35) vacation days a year? It was a bug or i didn't understand anything... <img>

Fencer: Found it already on the paid membership details for rooks....

1.2.2) Brain Rook

A player with Brain Rook membership level can use up to 35 vacation days a year. After some vacation days are used, it is possible (twice a year) to get some extra days (during the same year) if the membership is renewed by another year (or longer period) - 10 after the first renewal and 5 after the second one.

Fencer: ROFL......

The vacation system has been changed.
Details will be described in the BrainKing.info blog later today.
Objections are refused in advance.

coan.net: Aye.... For a perfect game, it would be a one in a well... big odds.

Near perfect points though.. rare, but not impossible.

joshi tm:I think "negative achievements" is a better term.

joshi tm: Yes, why not? If everybody want do achievements, nobody will want do black achievements, but sometimes we can do it against our intention, so why not create both?

Undertaker.: A black achievement? Which costs points? Interesting though. Good point.

joshi tm: Sorry, but ridiculous was your understanding. The goal would be don't achieve an achievement, of course. Besides, my idea is very usual in others situations. In USA, you have Oscares for the best movie, for the best actor, for the best actress, etc., and in the day before, there's an event where is choosed the worst movie, actor, actress, producer, etc. Of course, nobody want be the worst actor and actress, right?

And about my idea, i can understand that block users by 5 or 10 players, block users in 5 discussion boards are bad ideas or dubious ideas, but 10 consecutive lose games (with or without time-out), 5 or 10
consecutive lose games (with or without time-out) in same type of game, etc. would be interesting...

Fencer:For them, there is no rest of the day!

Undertaker.: Short: No.

Longer: I refer to a P{laystion 3 Throphy where a player must do a friendly fire to achive an achievement, that's ridiculous!

A new discussion board: http://brainking.com/cz/Board?bc=163

Fencer: Very fast connection!!!!!!!

alanback: And what about people who made 10 thousand moves in 1 day?

Undertaker.:If I make 1,000 moves in 1 day, that means the rest of my day went very badly ;-)

Undertaker.: Of course, it's a brilliant idea.

joshi tm: I understand your point, but that can be a dubious question. I don't want make "1000 moves in 1 day". However, you would want say that an archievement is a good thing (something like a guiness book lol) and my proposal is the contrary. :)

But if we're created achievements, so why not create bad achievements or something like that? Block users by 5 or 10 players; block users in 5 discussion boards; block users 5 times in the same discussion board; 10 consecutive lose games (with or without time-out); 5 or 10 consecutive lose games (with or without time-out) in same type of game.

So, is it a good idea?

Undertaker.: I think an Achievement should be something that you really WANT to do.

coan.net:Methinks you overlooked the irony in the entire post ;-)

Fencer: And about blocked users? It would be interesting explorer that. Blocked users by 5 or 10 players, for example. lol. I think nobody knows the number of players that block us, so would be a surprise...Well, I don't know if this is a great archievement, but i would like to see it. :)

AbigailII:

Score max possible points on all of Dice Poker, Triple Dice Poker, Dice Poker 6D and Triple Dice Poker 6D. ------ That would be hard, if not almost impossible. I would be surprised if anyone has gotten the "max" points. Maybe Fencer can look through the database to find out what the highest score in all those games are, then make an achievement between 50-100 points below that max as the achievement. (of course each game would be a little different.)

AbigailII: Some of these suggestions are really good.
