Matarilevich: Thank you.

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

harley: "live and let live"
now theres a laugh.

Can i use some of my brains to purchase a knight membership for somebody??

I believe so...

"What can I do with Brains?
You can use the Brains as a virtual money to pay for your membership on BrainKing. The amount is equivalent to the amounts in CZK. For example, if you want to buy one-year Brain Knight, you must have at least 500 Brains. When you have enough Brains to buy the particular membership, a new form will appear on the Profile page of the user you want to buy a membership (yours or anybody else's) and you will be able to use this way of payment."

Check your profile page. It will tell you if you have enough.

Eriisa: Ah yes, thank u very much.

Sophisticated contestants please message me to arrange faster matches!

saii: What does sophistication have to do with playing games ??

RoastedParsnip: maybe english isn't his first language and he uses "sophisticated" to mean highly-rated.

pure conjecture on my part...

Don't you people ever look at profiles? He's a female! lol du mass

LuckyCat9: heehee...i *did* look at "his" profile too - i just didn't notice the sex.

the news has for some time said: Everybody who pays for any kind of membership (or extends the current one) and makes it to the end of January 2006, will automatically receive 200 free Brains to be used in the new tournament system, which is planned to be released in February. All details will be posted on the Brains page in advance.

it occurs to me that if we had some hint about the nature of this new tournament system, and what part Brains will play in it, the offer of 200 Brains for extending membership might be a bit more enticing. until we know what this new tournament system is, and what Brains are going to have to do with it, we don't know what value to place on that offer. am i going to have any interest in participating in the new tournament system? what does 200 Brains get me under this system? i don't know. therefore i don't know if the offer of 200 free Brains means a lot to me, or nothing.

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

Fencer: I think his point is, that if there was more of a hint (not a full description, necessarily), more people would add to their membership to take advantage of this offer. :-D

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

RoastedParsnip: If you click on someone else's profile, it will also have an area saying "Use brains for membership for this person" (or something like that), with a drop down menu with what you have enough brains for.

Fencer: Hmmm.. that's not how I read it. The way I interpret it is, that if you buy membership in the month of January, you get these 200 brains. Maybe you meant to say "and make it to January 2007"?
So are you saying any memberships bought in 2006 get 200 brains??? I'm confused! LOL (possibly not all that unusual for me!) :-D

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

--- Everybody who pays for any kind of membership (or extends the current one) and makes it to the end of January 2006,---

Does this mean if I pay on my membership with my previously earned brains, will apply???

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

darn, I figured it was worth a try! lol

I still agree with plaintiger that a tiny hint about this new system would entice more people to take advantage of this offer! (It might work on me! :-D

Fencer: February special! that works!

I have 600 brains delegated to the New Wave Tourneys!! LOL

ScarletRose: lol...to do what with??

plaintiger: well actually I have 1050 in brains.. but, only 600 towards that new tourney thing..

Oh and what happens to me that have not even one of those 'brains?'

Oh well, I actually hav eone, but it's up here in my skull, can't take it out, it's stuck .....

رضا: Well that is the most powerfull of all brains..

ScarletRose: I'll treat it for 10000 ones of those Fencer sells.

رضا: lol

ScarletRose: okay, i'm confused. oh! do You mean You've bought three memberships this month?

plaintiger: Yes.. I bought some for christmas prezzies

ScarletRose: ahhhh, i see, Lady. :) i wondered how You distinguished between the purposes of Your various Brains.

plaintiger: Yes.. just like Windows XP allows me to separate the HD into different sections..

ScarletRose: heh...yes, Lady. :)

I am currently playing the above tournament, but it isnt offering me or my opponent the cube choice, when it should be. Any advice why this is.

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

Fencer: GAME ID is 1338754 MATCH ID is 62964

Mrs.Reeves: From the rules page:
"Crawford rule: If a player reaches a score which is only 1 point away from winning the match, the next game is played as a Crawford round. In a Crawford round, the double cube is not used. If this round is finished and the match is not completed, the doubling cube can be used in all following games of the match."

That match is 1 point away from over. So the Crawford rule applies I think

Thank you , i understand now.

Excuse my ignorance but how do i set up a tournament?

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

Fencer: Thank you, ive done it now, but for some reason it defined 2 tournaments, i only want one lol

i have cancelled the other one

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.

hello, just wanted to know how much vacation days the different users have? do some player have endless vacation days?

thx for the answers,
fismoluni
