some people like it...but its not a game I dont like..it takes sooooooo looooong to play a game..I like stategy games that get to the point within the same decade.

I think turn-based Go wouldn't be a good idea; for reasons of counting (marking dead stones etc.) and slowness (hundreds of moves).

Ah, I see. thanks

Anna Lyzethis: No prob :)

TKR101010: Paying members can edit/delete their posts.

How'd you do that? Your previous post is gone.

Anna Lyzethis: Basically, it's a game played on a 19x19 board, where players try to occupy territory for victory. Pieces are placed on the points rather than in the squares. The board starts off empty, and pieces don't move (except to be removed when captured) once they're placed. Pieces can be captured, and territory gained, if they are surrounded.

Fencer: Let's go!

TKR101010: Yes.

Just curious ... Has there been any thought to adding Go to the list of games available here?

cariad: re re: I think it's 15 characters. That includes spaces.

I think there are a lot more than 15 characters on BK,if you take my meaning,,,giggle.

Fencer: oh. i was hoping there was a way to do it that would let me keep only my favorite boards in my favorite boards list.

plaintiger: Put the English board to your favourite boards.

i'm finding that when the big boss of a fellowship has made a board in some language other than English the primary board for that fellowship, i no longer get red numbers next to the name of the fellowship to indicate new messages on the English board. is there a way to fix this? thanks!

Goonerg: Thanks Simon

playBunny: I think it's 15 characters. That includes spaces.

What's the maximum length of a user name?

you can't delete Tourney games as far as I know.

The FAQ states for deleting a game, "How and when can I delete a started game? Is the deleted game counted for my statistics or BKR?

You can delete a started game until both players made two moves only. It means that after the player who has not started the game (black player) performs his/her second move, nobody can delete this game anymore. The main purpose of this feature is to allow players to get rid of a game where the opponent did not start to play at all without waiting for a timeout.
If your game can be deleted, i.e. it fulfills the previous conditions, a link "Delete game" will be added to the bottom of the game page, just nearby "Offer draw | Resign" links.
A deleted game is not counted for anything. Statistics of both players (number of won, drawn and lost games) will stay unchanged and the game will not be calculated for the players' BKR."

I have several games I would like to delete. I would like to leave a fellowship, but it will not let me because I have active games. These games have not had any moves made. It is showing move 1. It does not give me the option as the above states - they only give me the option to resign. Why?

Fencer: Sorry

reza: Although you are right and I symphatize with you, BBW already said where the discussion should continue. This board is to discuss only BrainKing related issues.

Vikings: And almost 600+ of them died of hunger and lack of food or deseases caused by bad food!

In anycase and for any reason many many died!

reza: first of all, it is sad that 1000+ plus people just died in Iraq, my heart does truely go out to them, but to correct your information, all most all of them, (women and children mostly) died jumping off of a bridge in panic, not by missle fire

reza: my heart genuinely does go out to all of the people in Iraq

reza: I had recently made the comment on General Chat about how it was sad that the recent deaths of almost 1,000 in Iraq was so little news here in the US, with most news going towards the hurricane.

But EVERYONE - Lets continue this and other off topic conversations on other boards - like General Chat Thanks!

reza:

Well, there is of course no logic in it. Whenever I have argued against that avoidable war in Iraq and the resulting destruction of its society, I have had a hard stand. A lot of relicts of culture and the early growing of mankind out of stone age in Sumer have been ignoringly destroyed. Now it finally will result there in three independant sub states in Iraq. I hope that peace will take place there as soon as possible.

reza: I am sure thousands of peoples hearts to go to them, but unfortunately, this is just another tragic event that we have to think about.

Princess Alison: I really wonder why nobody's heart ever goes to those 1000+ poor people of Iraq who have recently died in missle attacks and other explosions and also because of lack of food.

I would just like to say, and i am sure my thoughts are echoed, here, in the UK, our thoughts are with all American people during this very difficult and traumatic time.

BIG BAD WOLF:
Please list any members that you know of that are missing on that board, maybe someone else has heard from them or has a way of contacting family that would know!

I was just looking, and notice that Fencer made a new board: Missing people - This is a temporary board to post information about the members who are missing since the hurricane Katrina which hit hard several states in the USA

I usually try not to post information on multiple boards, but I thought many people would be interested in this board.

OK thats enough please. About brains and all off topic subjects. General chat is only a click away!

Tuesday: But i just looked on your page, and u havent got any

Jason: I know, but I will prolong it next year:)

you cant refer anyone now only at the time of creating membership

BK was recomende to me by someone on IYT with nick "thissitesux" so I dont know how person I have refer:)

wellywales: By the looks of things they arent many people on here that does have brains............

lukulus: I have just checked Fencer, he has no brains, who is doing all the work

ZOMBIE: GIMME YOUR BRAIN

Princess Alison: check out my profile...I have no brains either...but I still manage to win a few game ;)

Fencer. Any chance of getting some new smiley's the ones we have now are getting old hat

Fencer: If u get extra income from the google link , does that mean u can give me my brains back

ClayNashvilleTn: Time-control indicators on the game list :-)

I saw the question one other time but not the answer

What do the little dots next to games we are playing on our game list and what do they mean?

sorry, wrong board, the description of this board mentioned features.

Is it possible we could get a feature that would let each players color be chosen randomly once the game starts? I really hate having to choose wether im white or black, I'd like it to randomly pick for me at game start.

lukulus: *

Fencer: So we now know why is Fencer so bussy - he is clicking on google banner
