NightHawk1958: I don't think you need to apologize for being religious (r nonreligious!), it's enough that you didn't mean to offend anyone!

i also want to say that i assumed that i was on the GCB till i just read that i was on the BKB,i promise not to let it happen again.

sorry i didn't mean it in a religious way,since i'm not a member i can't convey my words to everyone,so this is the best i can do...i do apologize.

P.S.
it wasn't ment to to be religious since i am not a religious person,i just wanted to convey my feelings about a good no GREATWoman.

Thank You.

Marfitalu:

Well just taking the % won is not a very good indication in itself since someone might be very good at a few games winning 600+, but only losing 20 or so - giving them a very good win percentage.

Finished games is not really a good indication since that just means the person has more time to play games.

Tournament wins can be a little tricky because it is hard to compare my "5 player" tournaments with tournaments which have 20+ players in them. (meaning it is easier to get more tournament wins playing tournaments with less players)

The extablished BKR is all games and the to 50 average for at least 11 different types of games can also not really show the whole story. Tak me for example, i was in the top 50 for average BKR's for awhile, but decided to go after the goal of having an established rating in all the game types - which brought my average WAY down since I'm not very good at Chess & Checkers, but did bring up my total in the top 50 "sum" of all established ratings.

For me, I guess I would take players who BOTH are on the Top 50 established with 11 games+ and on the Win Rate Page to come up with some top players overall - which CaoZ seems to be on top.... but then again, most of his games came from "line" games - no chess, checkers, etc....

Marfitalu: Oh, Fencer is no doubt the greatest player on BK ;-)

Marfitalu: I am.. I play for the fun of it.. LOL

Agreed. But I think I've said enough.

alanback: That's another issue but it should be solved elsewhere [General Chat] if you want to.

Fencer: I can accept that. However, I respectfully suggest that Fwiffo's intolerance was tangible in its expression.

alanback: No. What is not related to BrainKing, is absolutely off topic on this board. It has nothing to do with an intolerance.

Fwiffo: That's absurd. Discard your intolerance and read NightHawk's posting for its meaning; acknowledge the reverence of human liberty.

It is rather off topic, NightHawk.

<NightHawk> Please drop your religious feelings on the thoughts and prayers board. I thinks it's offensive to confront everyone with them on the general brainking board.

let's all bow are head to give think to a Woman who change history Mrs.Rosa L Parks may she now and for ever rest in the arms of god and for ever be at peace..Yhank you Mrs.Rosa for changing the way people come togather and live in today world.

May God aways smile on you!.

nobleheart: quite so. i should have thought of that, being a digital photographer. a lot of people call digital captures "images" instead of "photographs," and the activity "digital imaging" or "digital capture" instead of "photography." don't know why...Webster's dictionary defines photography as, "the art or process of producing images on a sensitized surface (as a film) by the action of radiant energy and especially light," and that applies to digital...

but i digress.

"image" covers it all

plaintiger: "picture" would be better (since not all of them are photos).
thats why they are called icons LOLOL....take DANDANDAN for instance....monkey face (is a pic) with pink lips added is an icon...a straight pic is a pic and anything else in art ROFL....not artful, just art LOLOL....sorry Dan,Art,whatever!

ignore me im having a "light moment"

***oops***
I think I was a "TAD" slow there'
TAD = TheArtfulDodger...oh my gawd!!!

kithara: ahhhhhhhh. thank you. i searched for the words "profile" and "photo" and "picture". i didn't look for "icon"...i don't think that's the best term for such images. "picture" would be better (since not all of them are photos).

plaintiger: FAQ: How can I add an icon next to my user name?

is there a FAQ i'm not seeing for how to add a photo to one's profile? if there's information posted in some regular place on how to add photos to profiles and fellowships, it needs to be more obvious, because i've done it several times and every time i do it i have to ask people what the required image sizes are and, as i need to know now, where to send the images once they're resized.

this information should be available in one easily- and logically-found location, shouldn't it?

is it?

thanks...

ScarletRose: i agree. great idea. :)

playBunny: "Take a raincheck"? that is a great idea!

plaintiger: That's an interesting one. I've had piles of fellowship invitations that I didn't want and that said nothing in the message to me, leading me to wonder why I've been invited. I think those messages are somewhat rude in their lack. Some I delete immediately with no response (they hardly deserve it, after all). Others are still pending, even from months ago, just in case I ever decide to join the fellowship. It saves me having to apply. So I am ignoring those ones, but it's because of potential usefulness rather than rudeness. Perhaps there should be a third option: "Take a raincheck"?

just as the requestor should receive notice if when their request to join a fellowship is denied, so the invitor should receive notice if their invitation to join a fellowship, play a game, or accept a draw is declined. if the invitor is not notified in these cases, it winds up appearing that their invitation has simply been ignored, which can cause tensions between people - because it can look like rudeness on the part of the person declining the invitation. thanks...

ellieoop: Make sure your auto vacation is on [check the Settings / Calendar page], then all your games using the vacation are safe until you run out of vacation days. Beware, this doesn't apply on games with a green or red dot which means "no vacation used".

with the hurricane hitting us late tonight into tomorrow, we probably will lose power, so how does the auto vacation work, should i take vacation days and if i don't take enough will that kick in for a few days or just one day, and should i not take vacation days and just rely on auto vacation.
now that i wrote all this i'm wondering if it explains it good under vacations, just in case, i'll leave this, and g/l to all of us in it's path.

Pedro Martínez: No, between my approval and his/her first login.

Everything a newcomer does on this site between his/her registration and Fencer's aprroval appears as "null".

its been known in the past for randon things to come up as null name of tournaments ect ,usually after fencer has been in the database i think lol

I have seen that on people who have signed up to the site, but not yet done anything.

Vikings: oh?

ScarletRose: no,
its their action, what game or board they are on

frolind: I believe it is during the period of time between Fencer approving the membership and the time the person comes back on to use it.

Vikings: I think it's an action that haven't been given a name yet.

Vikings: FYI: I just checked and I'm not seeing "null" anywhere if that helps at all?!...

in the who is on line board, under action, some players action is null. When did that one start and what does it mean?

nobleheart: That would be an improvement, but right now all the messages in a game are displayed at the bottom of the page. I would like to see message retained throughout a multiple game match.

besides,BK is known for unique games,we would want to be a copy-cat

I have noticed that Yahoo, XE.com, and Paypal all have slightly different conversion rates.
question eriisa have you researched this further?what did you find?

Geri39: maybe we should take a vote,see how many like it?dominoes isnt a very challenging game strategically,I can think of ones more interesting,I am sure fencer can judging by his past choices.

alanback: you mane maybe a button for"message history"?

Geri39: Yes and it is a good game

harley: Thank You for the options! I don't want to make Fencer work harder than he should..he definitely deserves a break! I can become a Rook & have at least 9 months added on that is left of the Knight membership

MagicDragon: You have a few options, you can either:

pay as a rook, and the remaining knight days will be transfered to your rook membership (so you'll have over 6 months rook membership)

Stay as a knight until it runs out then the rook will begin or

ask Fencer how much it would be to upgrade to rook and he'll give you an exact figure to pay.

I do have a question tho...I became a Knight starting on Sept 15th & then becoming a Rook next week, would I get a refund from the original Knight payment minus almost 1 1/2 months for being a Knight? Sorry if it is a little confusing. I was wondering about that

I use paypal & whichever amount it is here for currency is the same amount that is paid thru paypal. Have to wait at least 3 to 4 business days for the transfer of funds to take place

Mirjam: Gold Token.com

Geri39: Better to post a request here;

http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=3 :o)

<Geri39> Who is Gold Token?
Why do you like Dominoes?
You can post this kind of requests on the feature requests board:)

Can Dominoes be added to this site since Gold Token has it now?

I have noticed that Yahoo, XE.com, and Paypal all have slightly different conversion rates.
