it allows you to maintain a high BKR in games like screen chess, or battle boats, dark chess, whereever there's an element of surprise in the initial move. in case you don't like the initial setup zap it! no penalty! other than, in my case for example, not to be invited ever again :)

What's the reasoning behind the "delete game" facility?

I didn't see an *

No, actually I think birthday is always a hidden field isn't it? If you look at my profile, I have my birthday set but only I can see the birthday. (At least that is what I thought.)

if you fill it in, then everyone can see it

So if nobody else can see it... what's the point?

okay okay, just kidding - but for a hint ... :p ~*~

go to my profile, click on edit

Where on a profile page is date of birth shown? I don't recall ever seeing that.

ROFL....i didnt see that...mind you i didnt look

Not only in the bug tracker, but set to the highest priority! :-) It would be a shame if the site missed Christmas! LOL

I went to the bug page to report it but it has already been reported

Probably a bug..

no december here either :(

I just went to edit my profile and tried to put my date of birth in but there is no December on the drop down list - has anyone else got December on their pages lol

thank you stardust that helps a lot :o)

Because of the difference in your bkr...Yours being significantly lower rewards you for drawing with someone whose bkr suggests is a better player.
Hope this helps :-)

when this game was a draw how come my bkr went up and his went down??

The game is a draw.

Fiona: old BKR = 662, new BKR = 754 (+92)
jeff45: old BKR = 1503, new BKR = 1455 (-48)

Dont worry... you are not missing anything....it has been quiet in there for awhile anyway.

I applied to join a fellowship about 4-5 days ago and have had no reply...no rejection no nothing...Ive since read where the lady in question (BigBoss)is having sickness problems...family wise i believe. do i just have to wait???

again :)

I hope we have hats and cups to look forward too in the store as well.

Rofl BBW - I like the optimism...! :-D

Plus I would suggest that if the prize is something from the store or a membership, you should get that paid for BEFORE the tournament starts, that way if the tournament takes a long time, the winner (and Fencer) does not have to worry about the creator still being around to be able to pay the prize.

*shamless plug alert*

Take for example my current Battleboats Plus Prize Tournament which already has over 35 players signed up, and more signing up every day - all for a membership prize which Fencer already has. So if I get hit by a bus tomorrow, the prize will still be there for the winner!

Where were you AD? 117 backgammon players are currently fighting it out for a BrainKing T-Shirt! LOL

Of course it is possible. It's as simple as to pay like for yourself and send me a message with details who should be given what :-D

Like a Rook or Knight Membership, what is the procedure to follow?

Also, is it also possible to sponser things from the BK store as prizes? :)

ruudvdh: What about to upgrade to a higher membership level? It's plain and simple. Otherwise you have to wait for me to release you from a tournament.

Fencer, i want to play a new tournament, but it can't because brainking said i play already a tournament (see:All Games - 2 days per move ►► F A S T ◄◄ #2) but this tournament is over for 1 month now!, what must i do, i want to play a new tournament?

Yes, thanks Fencer.

Didn't I elaborate enough Fencer? :-)

Is it better now?

Fencer, could you look at http://brainking.com/game/ShowGame?g=435602? In this game of Screen Chess, my opponent was missing a pawn from the start (though we didn't notice it at first). Could something be done to correct this?

I don't like to see such accusations on public boards, especially without irreversible proofs. Please use info@brainking.com for this kind of, uh, reports.

Well, LJ and QWERTY girl are the same person so he is using two accounts. I thought you could tell by the ISP or something.

Oh yes, yes. Sure. I still have Kevin's answers, waiting to be elaborated :-)

He should hire someone to take care of the .info site - I'll do it cheaply, just a few extra "rigged" Dice in my gammon games a month will be fine!

(NOTE: For the people who can't tell, the part about rigged dice is just a joke! *wink* *wink*)

Its up to Fencer! I'd like to do them again, they were great fun and a lot of people liked them, but they did create a lot of work to put them on the BK.info site. What do you think, Fencer?

I am also fed up with all the bickering on this site.

I totally agree on both :)

There is too much bickering on this game site - We need to go back and do some more fun stuff.

Hey harley - any chance of starting back up the interviews of people? I've always found those to be interesting, and I'll even volunteer to be a victom if you need one! :-)

the blunt ones and the sleepers. ~*~

Some dudes won't take NO for an answer.

Well look what's happened to her. Longjohns stalking and threatening her. I'll miss her but for her safety that's what I'd do

i think you will find she is fed up with al the stuff going on here! So decided not to come back.. its a shame really she is a lovely person :)

When you degrade to pawn your extant games will remain viable.

look at this :(

I might add that BerniceC will not be renewing her membership because of various anomilies. I would ask that all those opponents please get their butt into gear and play their games with me HEHEHEHEHE....I dont really want to resign games but will If I have to :(
thanks:)

No, you should not have multiple accounts for any reason without an explicit permission.

Guideline #1

Each individual who plays on BrainKing is asked to use one, and only one, BrainKing account.

Reasoning:

We have a rating system on BrainKing which is used to estimate a player's strength in a particular game. Creating multiple accounts just to "lose" to one of your other accounts for the purpose of "boosting" a rating is not sporting, and will not be tolerated.

Does this mean that it's OK to have multiple accounts as long as you are not using them to play against each other? Fencer? I mean, what if someone creates another account not to cheat, but just to have another account? :)

hehe.. Have fun B..

you cant do that LOLOLOL....you havent deserved it hehehehe
