Board for everybody who is interested in BrainKing itself, its structure, features and future.
If you experience connection or speed problems with BrainKing, please visit Host Tracker and check "BrainKing.com" accessibility from various sites around the world. It may answer whether an issue is caused by BrainKing itself or your local network (or ISP provider).
Fencer: I originally wrote "the 'I've changed my mind' becomes meaningless" but changed it to "a mystery" 'cos it sounded better. Heh, heh. If I'd left it as I wrote it initially would you have replied "BrainKIng is full of meaninglesses"?!
King Reza: Now that your interviews post is linked to from the board header and will be clicked now and in the future by people coming fresh to the idea interviews, the "I've changed my mind" becomes a mystery. I reckon it would be good to rewrite that post as a self-contained article (and with a title). ;-)
King Reza: That sounds like a great idea! I think you should put the rules down on the "interviews!" link, because otherwise your post is going to go way down here on the board and people will not notice it.
Fencer Maybe you can write a short blog about this on brainking.info? Or have like a little icon next to the google bar that reads "New Info: Interviews" or something like this and so that it goes to the rules King Reza posted?
BrainKing.info is down again. At least for me. It seems whenever a new article is published, I can't get to it. Maybe it just can't handle the load of everyone trying to access it.
MadMonkey: Maybe Fencer is getting ready for a "scavenger" hunt - to see how many a person can find.
But I also think it would make an interesting "hidden" points - randomly put the little brainy icon on a few pages throughout the site, when clicked, hidden action points are rewarded - plus if it keeps moving, they can't just go tell their friends about where it is.
OK, am I going nuts - occasionally this morning, I have seen some small BK icons on top of some discussion boards - sometimes to the left of the board name, sometimes on top/middle of a discussion board. I go back to the page, and it is gone.
Fencer - are you playing around with something new again or did I not get enough sleep last night and my mind is messing with me?
We'll be having interviews every now and then. The person to interview will be chosen by players' votes. Every time I announce an interview is on the way, players have two weeks to send me personal messages here, with "Next Interviewee" as the subject. They should include the person's user name and ID number just in case the person decides to change his/her name. After the two weeks, I'll see if there's someone many people want to see an interview with. If there's no such person, I'll choose one of the suggested persons myself.
Please, in each message, only mention one person.
After that, I'll announce the person's name and players can start sending me questions they like to ask the selected person. As simple as that.
King Reza: I think your initiative is really good! I would be more for a "interviewing-committee", in the sense that the interviews were carried out offline anyhow and the interviewers duties were to collect the questions and then pass them on for publication on the site. The reason I'd be for a committee is so that more people are involved and more of the evergrowing facets and plurality (if there is such a word! ) of BK can be interviewed/represented! :)
nightmagic: vacation! you are trying so hard to update so fast on this site. It is the best i've been to in 5 years.... Please don't go over board like others have as to improve what already works. Just my voice as i have, and have been there to see others strangle them selfs. A little at at time.... I'm here for the long haul... but have been at others that went so fast. Don't mind me... just speaking mind as i've seen others. I like this site the best, great people, good games.
Since Harley no longer plays on BrainKing, I was wondering who in here stead is going to continue interviewing people. It was totally nice reading the interviews, but I take it in her absence there won't be anymore if none takes her place.
Brian1971& King Reza: this has little to do with the site brainking.
please take it to the appropriate board. i think no public board on a games site is meant for a discussion like this, so you might best continue this in a fellowship
