Walter Montego: I said it many times but I'll say it again. No matter what system you choose, there will be always someone who would complain "the system is not working for me and a lot of others". There are more important things to do and always will be.

shagglbrox: The games will remain as they are, it won't affect them.

shagglbrox: Do you mean a normal tournament, a team tournament or a team match?

The vacation system needs to be rewritten a little anyway.

BIG BAD WOLF: Yes, I want to do it as you write.

panda: and thank you. You are great and strong woman.

Walter Montego: Couldn't we just give it more time and observe? I have my own theory about this system and until I can see it in action, we can only speculate. It wouldn't be wise to make big changes only 2 weeks after the release.

diogenes: Right, I am in a big stress now and I admit the word "babbling" was inappropriate. Sorry. But your "the way youre behaving towards your supporters seems to get worse each day" is simply too much, don't you think?

diogenes: It wasn't me who started to write with exclamation marks, capitalized words and similar unfriendly attributes. I always try to explain everything in peace but when I see someone could ruin my work for no logical reason (and I'll be glad to know I was wrong), I have my right to protect myself.
Btw, if the site would be to money oriented, I would never respond.
There are many things which I have to see from much more complicated point of view than a normal user can see. And since a day has only 24 hours, there are many situations where I prefer to say "no" shortly, instead of starting a complicated discussion.

Pythagoras: Right.

diogenes: I've said it many times but I'll do it once more:

• What you buy is what you get. Nobody forces you to spend the Brains in tournaments. Use them to extend your membership and you don't have to feel any loss.
• There is nothing like 30%. A tournament is defined with an entry fee and who wants to participate, pays the entry fee. The tournament is defined with a prize and who wins, gets the prize. Any other babbling about a percentage is simply ridiculous.
• And, of course, it's just an option. Who wants to ingore these tournaments, it's his right. BrainKing is full of other features which can be used without any Brains. If you liked it before, there is no point to stop it now.

That's my final word to the subject.

Bry: Only new memberships count. It means, your own renewal does not.

Bry: No. What you buy, you get. It's up to you how you use it. You can spend Brains to extend your membership or purchase a membership for another user. You can save them for a later use. Or you can pay a tournament entry fee with them and hope you will be one of the winners and win a thousand or two. But, as I always say, it's just an option and everyone can use all advantages and features of BrainKing without any Brains.

playBunny: Yes.

Bry: The 30% goes nowhere. In other words, it remains on the BrainKing account.

Czuch Chuckers: Heh heh. Very funny.

... have been added to the Paid Membership page.

Stevie: Wait a minute.

playBunny: Hmmmm, maybe I did.

ZEROZERO: If you think it stinks, don't use it. That's what BrainKing is about, everybody is free to use only features he likes. I think it's pointless to discuss in this way because nobody likes everything. Whatever your point is, I don't play to change anything.

ZEROZERO: The prize tournaments with an entry fee is just one small part of the improved tournament system. And, of course, nobody is forced to pay for other users.

Czuch Chuckers: No, this kind of bonus always applies to the user for whom the membership was bought. It is done on a system level.

Fwiffo: Right.

Beren the 32nd: It will be up to the tournament creator.

Pythagoras: 1) My usual typo. 2) Yes.

playBunny: It will be added.

Eriisa: Nope. It's my fault, a small bug in the counter table.
But if you search the keyword "single", your tournament will be found.

playBunny: The latter (two halfs and pairing).

Pythagoras: Precisely.

Pythagoras: RTSN!
Which means "Read The Server News".

Congratulations to plaintiger for being the first one who won the membership bonus. He's been given 6 free months of the Brain Rook level.

Stevie: If you mean the Friends page, it is correct. It simply shows last actions of your friends, no matter when it happened.

Stevie: What is not working right?

plaintiger: Yes, it's exactly as you write.

estanto: Not a bad idea.

I see.

Marfitalu: No, every game of a match contains links to all other games of the same match.

Marfitalu: No, you need a game ID.

alanback: If you play with the Fischer's clock, no vacation days of your opponents can bother you.

Mrs.Reeves: It might be better if you use a proper board next time - Backgammon or Tournaments. This board should be reserved for more general questions.

Mrs.Reeves: Go to the Tournaments page and click on "Define a new tournament".
I'll make it better highlighted soon.

Mrs.Reeves: Tournament is irrelevant, you must post the game ID.

Eriisa: No, it must be a "real" payment.
Next time I'll make the announcements more accurate.

rod03801: Absolutely wrong! But that's a part of my plan as well.

rod03801: Yes, I know. But my plan is for the whole year, not just January.

plaintiger: If it means nothing to you, wait for the Februay Special.

TexasToest: I should find a time to finish the Help system soon.
