BIG BAD WOLF: Nope the icon was never on my pc, after it was built

WatfordFC: (probable a good discussion to take to the computer board) - but would be surprised if someone would just remove the IE link - in Start, All Programs - I find Internet Explorer just sitting there. You can also create a new link also if you wanted (and if so - lets continue it on the computer board so we don't get too far off topic for this board.)

Marfitalu: I also agree that it would be nice to be able to have moderators move posts also - but on the flip side, I would much rather have Fencer spend time making new games then improving the discussion boards.

This Action Points Is Great.It Has Improved Game Playing.It Is Showing Who Are Here To Play Games And Those That Are Not.Also Those That Are Using Methods To Win That Are Not Fair To ALL.LOL,But It Is showing Us ALL who To Avoid Playing In The Future.Have Fun And Enjoy Playing On This GREAT SITE!!!!!!

CRY ME A RIVER:

CRY ME A RIVER: not if people have action points turned off (like i now have done).

If we don't want action points can we give them to someone else?

CRY ME A RIVER: You lost me here saying this Action Points thing shows me who to play or avoid. I could care less how many of these points I or you may or may not get each day. Does that make me a person to avoid playing? I am one of the faster players of his games, though I don't play in hundreds of games. I think you're confusing quantity of moves with quality of moves. And certain games, if you're trying to win the game as compared to move fast, require more time and energy to make good moves. Dark Chess or Embassy Chess as compared to say Ludo, come to mind.

This is one of the reasons a few of us have requested a speed rating index for total moves in all games and for each individual game. Some type of rating so that I might find someone to play that plays at a similar speed per game. There's plenty of ways to gauge movement. If I clear, and by clear I mean move at least once in every game that I have curently going in a day, say 50 games of which it was my move in 27 of them during that day, this is some ways is equal to someone that clears every game in a day that has 1000 games going and it's their turn in 540. I try to move once a day in every game though I can't if my opponent doesn't move, and sometimes I might not move for a few days. So an average of this speed would give an indication of my average time to clear all my started games. Another type of rating could be based on the actual amount of moves made each day. IN this example I might make 100 moves and the person with 1000 games might make 1500. With these two rating facts in hand, you could easily find players who's use of BrainKing matches your own. There's other ways to rate a player's speed too. Per week, per amount of time used by the time limit of the game, elapsed time while waiting for opponent to move, and etc., etc. All could give you numbers that could help you find compatible opponents.

I also just don't worry about it much. If my opponent moves within the time frame and is playing to win with his moves alone and not using the clock, then that's fine by me. Winning on time is part of some people's strategy for winning. I avoid this type of player when I encounter them, but they are playing by the rules. Those players that have so many games and are forced into playing in this manner are also players I tend to avoid, even if the motive for playing that way is not using the clock. To me, there's more to playing a game than just the playing of the game itself.

WatfordFC:
Rainbow days and anybody else including myself who have got more than the 500 secret action points for the day have done nothing wrong, none of us have tapped into the system, we have all worked out how to get them ourselves

Fencer has capped it, he did it yesterday when he realised himself, that it was getting out of hand, and i agree with what he did.

I really cant see what all the fuss is about.

Point in fact- Fencer set precedence when he took points away from a few people last month when they figured out how to beat the system- If memory serves- they were not 'capped' but eliminated...[lol- redundant in usa;]

Walter Montego; I too would like a speed rating and could care less about action points- although I have no 'brains' it takes a modicum of intelligence and time to play Dark Chess successfully... while Ludo... [well, they would have a faster 'speed rating'] ROFLMAO!

*BOB*on*Bush*: in this life i've done Ludo for special requests, but it wasn't 'aggravation'- and not dark chess... have compromised by specializing in gammon;]

I'm here 12 out of 24 hours, i do not get this talk about who and who you can tell is here to play. i make all my moves plus alot that come back 10 plus times in a day. i do not want ad's i want game play.That is an unfair statment to make in terms of who to play or not because of the points they are collecting and how fast they are going up the ladder of getting the points,

thats who you play,lol, have fun, lose members as well as players.what ever happened to playing a game to win or lose? as well as chatting along with the game and meeting new. click move click move click move, not a game...

amandalove: not true as to who is here to play or not to play.

nightmagic: I'll second you on that - A game is supposed to be FUN - NOT click, move, click, move NOR waiting for endless days and days (and more days) for an opponent to maybe, someday, make a move

CRY ME A RIVER: NOT TRUE as to who to avoid in future games, unless your not looking to make friends as you play and you are a person only after the click send button for a POINT...

some with 1500 t0 3500 are carrying bags under there eyes for the lack of sleep cause of move points but not even worrying about the game at hand with a friend there playing. good going. instead of a place to come to to play ,meet and relax, it's became an rush thu life that most try to avoid.

amandalove: I turned off my points yesterday because I don't care no more but I must speak my mind.
I'm sick of hearing about now we know who to play with or not.
I thought the points were great at first, Aug.3 I stayed up till 4:00 in the morning and made 1,350 moves, I was tired at work the next day but I did not care because I was in 4'th place.
After that day people started flying by me in points then I knew somthing was wrong.
I know none of the players who got the secret points did anyting wrong but when players have thousands of secret points and now there is a cap of 500 per day they will still get them every day.
How are you going to catch them? I'll tell you, There is no way you can.
Now whoever thinks this is fair you got to be a fool,and to pick players not to play against because of all this is just being stupid.
I had to speak my mind and if you don't like it put me on your block player list.

nightmagic: i have bags under my eyes because i like to play- fast and often! [ok, i am old too;] was in top 50 aps last month...[don't care-don't know this month]-

BUT i like the social intercourse, and am even learning to write another language! [have no idea how to speak it;]

This is really getting out of hand and not in the best interest of BK.

*BOB*on*Bush*: Great. glad to hear you are back to playing the games at hand and injoying it. love to play at free time after my job that pays to keep me here,lol. nice to meet you!

Foxy Lady: Is it? how? all are speaking minds of how the change that was a good idea at first impression was a good one but to many flaws and not all can play the game.

nightmagic: Buy a Black Rook than you won't have to worry about what flaws there are.Fencer has been working hard to get the kinks out.

nightmagic:pleasure is mine lady;] the ludo games i played were before any of this ap stuff started... it was merely letting the ladies choose another game besides backgammon... [however i will NOT play that game again! for love nor money]

Foxy Lady; that remark, hmmmmm

Foxy Lady: i like where i am but thanks 4 the invite to buy more. i enjoy the games i'm able to play as well as handle. i do not worry about my games, i play to enjoy them as well as meeting others that are here. i have been at 3 plus other game sites and like and enjoy this one more. as far as unlimited game action i don't need it nor want it. this site is a pass time enjoyment site for me. as for him getting the jinks out i wish him the best. truly i do. as this site may need od's and end's but at the risk of losing players and paying players that can not do the game click send to work the bugs out, what is he going to do when players can't keep up and slow down? my advice is to take players off that are no longer here. space saving,lol. and get more to join.

Foxy Lady: not that i can't buy a black rook cause I can, but don't need too. enjoy yours as i enjoy mine.

*BOB*on*Bush*: He did cap it, read all the messages, i think Fencer left the message yesterday morning saying it was capped.

WatfordFC: we heard,thanks

If certain people want to be elitist about who they're going to play against, then let them. It already seems like some people have made their minds up about this, and nothing anyone says will change it.

I am going to turn off my action points, as they really do nothing to enhance my game playing, and I don't try and get as many as I can in one day.

WatfordFC: nothing personal lady- but you missed my point...
Point in fact- Fencer set precedence when he took points away from a few people last month when they figured out how to beat the system- If memory serves- they were not 'capped' but eliminated...[lol- redundant in usa;]

please don't kill the messenger for pointing out the truth- [as i remember it, am tired and must retire. am sure someone will correct me if i am mistaken]

sewzay: cool! another player... not one just out for the click send, nice to meet you!

*BOB*on*Bush*: Yes i apologise, i get what your saying now.

why retire or remove them, just remove the action that was, unless they fought it. thinking they could get away with it.

*BOB*on*Bush*: as a few found to work it. its what is done to help get bugs out of system.

its been quite some discussion about the action points.

its at a stall now, some people complain they cant compete because they dont know how to get the secret action points. well then they should not deserve to be in the top of this months contest either as this months contest is about the secret action. if you cant find it (like i cant ;)) then you cant be on the top of the list (at least not without a LOT of effort :))

players can have their own reasons to play or not to play with someone else .. some people might base it on action points, some people on number of running games, some on bkr, some on the person behind the keyboard, some will play with anyone, some based on the time they have in real life and, some on other reasons .. its their personal right to chose whoever they will play with (i will play with anyone, but not right now as i wont have much time as i will be on holiday, but after that i will again)

so:

the action points contest of this moth is about the secret action : find it or fail
the action points of this month requires ads to be on, so turn them on or dont participate this month

its a players own choice who (s)he will play with


please take the next comments on this months action points contest to the chat board unless you have something really new about the subject to add

any following posts about this subject will be deleted (sorry)

Don't click here.

Fencer:HE HE LOL:)Fencer can you Tell all of of us how many clicked on LOL:)

Fencer: Niceeeeeeeeee work on the site!!

You didnt think no one would NOT click did you?? lol

LMAO

Hrqls: Another Nazi moderator? Something about having power over the actions of others brings along with it the neeed to use it as well?

Fencer: Great job !! I hope that we will see on this board more reactions to these new features than discussions about action points.

Czuch Czuckers: not nazi, a simple request with your original post in pm.

the rest about this nazi moderation can be discussed with me via pm, on chat or a fs board

Fencer: forbidding us to do things works ;)
nice clean and clear looking site! well done :)

(although today at work it showed 'page loaded, but with errors' in the bottom of ie when i opened the page, didnt have a look at it right now)

Thinks to herself Fencer got these secret points well hidden this time

I clicked on an ad on a game page and once it showed up it disappeared and now there is none on the game pages, is that spose to happen?

Skittles: Yes. For the rest of the day.

Fencer: Ok thanks!

Fencer: Is that new, or did they always disaprear for the rest of the day. That might make some of the players who hate ads but would like to play the "action points" thing - that is as long as they take out about 10 seconds to at least take a look at an ad once, they would be able to play the rest of the day without looking at them anymore PLUS still gain action points. (Again, for the ones who would like to play.)

BIG BAD WOLF: what if you like looking at ads once you click they are gone for the rest of the day ? so you can only view one ad lol .
ps , its always been like that for me .

Hi Fencer,
Is the hidden action points still valid. I spend 2 hours, only clicking on all the ads on the site. But no 500 points anymore.
In those 2 hours, I could play a lot of games...
