Artful Dodger: It's only unfair if misused Dan. There are genuine cases where people get ill and end up in hospital.

(V): No one is being punished Jules. You get X number of vacation days a year. Use them wisely. If you have problems and need more, too bad for you. Stop playing so many games. I don't feel sorry for people who time out in games when they are given enough vacation days a year. It's unfair to other players when people get more days. You get what you get and that's it.

Artful Dodger: Sometimes there are good reasons, you cannot punish the whole because of one or two abusing the system.

Snoopy: It plays really ddifferent indeed! You can't go gung ho all for one and one for all, since there are three kings to eliminate.

joshi tm: its a very different game from normal dice chess ive found
im not sure about having 2 turns thou

Snoopy: Just a thought....

Have about making two turns at once in this game? But they should e done with different pieces.

(V): Why any extra days anyway? When they are gone, they are gone. Part of the game is the time limits. I oppose any additional days.

Thanks for the answer. :-)

Constellation36: All current running games will continue - even if you are over the limit.

If you make it into a next round of a tournament - those games will start also.

The only thing you will be kicked out of is new tournaments you might be signed up for since you will be over your game limit.

But no worries - you will be able to continue to play all current games.

I have the Brain Bishop type of membership that expires today. I have also more than 20 games running. When the Brain Bishop expires in a few hours and i will transformed into a Pawn what will happen with my games?
Will they expire also in order the 20 games restrictions for Pawns to be applied?

rod03801: I thought the talk was to limit the extra days you can get in one year, sure someone is entitled to buy as many memberships in a year as they please, but the talk as I have mentioned was a limit, maybe such as only an extra ten or fifteen days a year.

rod03801:I don't think it's so much a matter of abuse as of thoughtlessness.  People should not be subject to criticism for following the rules of the site.  The rules can always be changed if they don't suit the majority of users.  However, deliberately delaying matches is rudeness, another term for which is unsportsmanlike behavior, and that can legitimately be criticized.

Charles Martel: Well, a few have had suggestions, but I haven't seen any response from Fencer about it. So, I don't know

Fortunately, it's not a wide-spread problem. (As far as people buying memberships over and over again to get a few years' worth of vacation days in one year)

rod03801: I also being a humble member the word ABUSE is that on Topic & also look towards leadership for it.

rod03801: But is there a solution?? We humble members look towards the leadership for it.

Please remember that Hrqls has asked that talk of this specific person should not continue. Abuse of the vacation days policy and solutions in general are welcome topics.

Thank you.

Carl:unluckily that one you are playing is someone that shouldn;t be in brainking .. sorry .. i always make sure that if he signs in any tourney i am not there and he is banned from all my tourneis
eventually he will need to move so push him to limits .. do not give him any break .. move as much as you can

Carl: Or maybe he's doing it so that players will get fed up and resign - that way he actually manages to win a couple of games

alanback: Odd indeed.As well as not being a mathematician I'm also not a psychologist.But this has got me wondering.This stalling is obviously being done on purpose so I'm thinking that perhaps there's some minute sense of power being derived from these tactics? To most of us this is a place to play games,nothing more,nothing less.But to a lesser mind, it may be all they have in life that gives them any sense of self importance.As i said i'm, no psychologist so don't really know how a human mind works and thinks.But surely this behaviour is more to be pitied than scolded.

rabbitoid: Welcome to the WONDERFUL WORLD of BrainKing:)))

Carl: Welcome to the wonderful world of automatic vacation

Carl:Hadn't noticed this before, but I see I must be playing the same person.  Still in the first game of 2 7 point matches started in August.  Odd.

Carl: if he was winning he would move

Bernice:

Pedro Martínez: hahahahaha......no prizes for guessing who it is either ROFLMBO

Carl: No worries. He'll have to start moving on Friday. Unless he purchases another membership, that is.

Pedro Martínez: I didn't think of that.Thanks. But I just checked his days and it is set for Wednesday and Thursday? But i supposed that could have been reset yesterday.I also checked when the game started,it was 11th August 08.It's a 7 point backgammon race game with a 2 day limit.16 moves made so far.I'm no mathematician but that seems like a lot of vacation days used!

Carl:did they renew a membership today if so they get additional vacation days

Carl: Weekend days?

I don't understand how these work.I'm playing a game against someone with 0 vacation days left,yet when they time out, another 24 hours is added to there time too move? Can anyone shed any light on this phenomenon?

Am i right in thinking that the Poker game is written in JavaScript ?

If so are there any plans to change any of the other games so they would run in it, hence stopping the need for page reloading. Would be a bonus for Logik i know that
