what happened to brainking for last couple of hours?

Liquid was changing a hard disk.

Okie dokie is there any more we could have warning about this weekend? :o)

Yippie!! Its up again!! :-) Thanks Fencer and Liquid for your hard work & happy weekend indeed!! :-)

poor Stevie. did you recover from the BK-Withdrawals? (also known as BK-DT'S) :))

It shouldn't be allowed on this site in ay form!!! IT happened to me on another game site and now I haear there ar those who have experienced on this site..Fencer, if you have a way of stopping it, please do so immediately! A game is to be played as a game. Each game has a winner and a loser. Please keep your game site played in goood fun!!!! You've come a long way and I personally wish the best for this sie in the future!!!!

Of course I have methods how to deal with it. But I have to do more things at once. No shouting on me can make the process faster.

In due time everything will be fixed, and I commend you BUT, before more bells and whisles are added to this site's CHEATING HAS TO STOp AND NOW!! It's Not fair to paying membners and not fair to future paying members....PERIOD!!!!! This Problem needs to be addressed before more is added Brainking. Keep this site as fair and honest as possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fencer is bouncing on people for saying things he dont agree with...that is great, but BUT and BUT it is a bit late...when the ole ROFLM*AO was said on nearly every board....nothing was said or done...it wasnt until certain people decided that they had had enuff was something done.
I have found since the Steve/MM thing that people are starting to be afraid of what they say....
this dont make for somewhere you can relax...
people are not being themselves even on boards where "language" used to be OK...

Im not one for filthy language etc but we have members on here that have been posters of filth and now are being absolute d---wits about their morals....wake up and get on with life..

Name names and get the "bad" people out in the open, so all of us can avoid, OR, Fencer needs to eliminate these people from this site for the good of all and let this site grow and prosper!!!!

I dont know what type you are on about SOD.
Fencer can only tackle 1 kind of cheaters though, thats the multi ID ones.
He cant tell if someone is using programmes etc, all that can be done about them is everyone needs to be made aware of them.
And also in the rules of the site/FAQ, he needs to mention something about we are not aloud to use them. Then we can name and shame etc, or they will say they didnt know otherwise and get away with it.

I have renamed my Scrabble Fellowship to ! The Ladder Fellowship !

This is due to all the hard work Stevie & Aragon have put into designing a web-site dedicated for Ladder games.
It also has loads of other things to take part in & use there (Forums, Free Downloads, Games etc...).
All the ladder games will be played here on BrainKing except for the scrabble games (on Bug cafe), so as well as watching your ratings here change, you can try and climb the ladders (or fall off the bottom LOL).

So anyone interested in playing on a Ladder, just come along to ! The Ladder Fellowship !

I know they can at checkers and chess. It's not a huge issue. It's on the table to be addressed and will in its turn. It's not the number one priority for Fencer. Cheating isn't rampant is my guess.

We have been over this subject over and over again. Cheating is wrong. IF someone has to cheat to win at games which pay you nothing to win, then that someone is pathetic and basically is cheating themselves. If I know from someone an opponent is a cheater I will not play that person any longer. There really is nothing at stake to make it worth cheating. Play, have fun, make a few new friends and good luck in all honest games.

Can someone cheat at Backgammon? I don't think it's yet possible but I could be wrong.

there can be illegal moves in bacvkgammon here... where the problem with the dice not enforcing one of the rules of backgammon.. where if you can move both dice you must and if only one.. then the larger die must be played if it can..

being fixed by BK 2.0? Curious. I'm not sure if that is actually "cheating" since it's a move that is allowed under the BK programming. It's possible for someone to make such an "illegal" move without even being aware of it. I know what you mean tho, it's an official Backgammon rule that would normally be followed if the program were set correctly.

with my crystall ball i can see the next rolls before i move ...so i know if im safe to leave some open ;))

looks like we need to employ the hammer technique with you then :)

hammer technique ?

Jason....you are going to get your balls smashed with a hammer ROFLMBO

No more ball gazing for you my friend LOLOLOL

lol ;)))

AD: Not yet but I didn't forget about it.

Fencer: I don't know if you know but Monday is a Bank Holiday over here :o)

wooohooooo treble time night shift for me :o)

and Monday is May day/Labor day in parts of australia and is also a holiday

Strange, we always have it as of 1st May, doesn't matter if it's Monday or Saturday [today].

australia always celebrates holidays with a holiday....last weekend was anzac day on the 25th...26th was a holiday...
Mayday is the 1st...we have the 3rd as a holiday.

It comes from being a basically LAZY race hehehehehe...we like to be paid for not working hehehehe

But it's not Saturday here yet. :)

it is here AD LOL days to remember in the UK like may day etc, are usually holidays on a weekday one side of the weekend nearest 1st of may

It's still Friday night here. But when I wake up, I'll finally catch up with the rest of the world. :)

Maybe LOL :)

is it me or is there anyone else that finds that when they play their games and submit...it appears on your game page again....I have had this occur about 10 times today, but then IYT and BugCafe and a few other game sites are having probs :*( why not this one LOLOL

Maybe the people you're playing are playing too?

ummmmm these are single games Lythande :)

I could understand if we were accessing each other simultaneously, but this isnt so, and anyway when I submit I expect it to go to the person Im playing....not back to my main page :) as a game awaiting its play

As you say Fencer today (1st) is May Day, but they always hold a Bank Holiday on the first Monday after it. :o)

Im sorry for playing very slowly right now... My health isnt as good as it should be... I have a bad heart... I was diagnosed with congestive heart disease/failure back in january 2004... and at times it takes it out of me... the weather doesnt help any (usually hot weather)... I thank you for understanding!


Dave

Nitol. ;)

heya Dave, U just take ur time. It's ur time to play when u like or feel that u can. An I for 1 care more about ur health then some game. Now if we was playing for 10.5 million then maybe. No j/king.. The main thing if we have games is just play when u feel like u can.
:o{P``````

This has been happenig to me for about three months, I asked fencer about it, forgot what it was, but sounded like something that would probably be fixed with bk2.0, It seems to happen more when I write messages, at random times, withs random games. It can be very annoying

Bernice: Yes, it is usually caused by a broken database connection. BK 2.0 handles these situations more effectively.
MM: Okay, I can add Monday as a site holiday.

.... KEVIN!!

Wow where has April gone? I had intended to send Kevin his questions at the end of April in time to start a new set of questions for the next interviewee - but time got the better of me!
I'll give 2 days for people to send me any more questions they'd like asked - then I'll send them all to Kevin. Get creative and think of some questions he could be asked!

What happens if I put myself on my enemies list? (Have I asked before?)

Then you can't send yourself messages! ;o)

And cannot invite yourself to a game ;-)

that's what multi nicks are for...

Alright, I'll try it.

i dont think you can put yourself on your own enemies list ..but i could be wrong .

I'm my own worst enemy....how bout you folks? :)_~~~

Na, you're not my worst enemy BW
