Yes, thanks Fencer.

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?

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.

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? :)

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

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

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!

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

again :)

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

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???

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

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)

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 :-)

thank you stardust that helps a lot :o)

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

no december here either :(

Probably a bug..

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

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

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

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

go to my profile, click on edit

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

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

if you fill it in, then everyone can see it

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.)

I didn't see an *

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

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 :)

I see. And even on the second move a game can be deleted, I always save my offensive messages till the third move.

smart :)

The reasoning is explained on this page.

Thanks. There is therefore no justification for a delete function in a game in which both players have made even one move, in fact it's nonsense isn't it? If you cant wait for a time out why accept a game at that time limit and how do you know the opponent won't make a move within the time limit?

Yes, I agree.

They're okay on the gothic board.

now ;-)

Let's go!

for sure in a few games after all - (crazy-) screen chess eg., while
I don't mind that mandirigma always chickened out when I took one
of his publicly waiting games, to kick him from where he does not belong ... ~*~

it could be....he dont like you?

I thought insults were reserved for "general chat"?

Shall I move mine up too??

Fencer is no longer moderator here
already wondered why the spammers feel so strong ~*~

so far so well - and to the example I exerted and that was flattened here, if somebody
leads a ranking it's not about sympathy - I as sportsman accept anyone who's not more
than 400 bkr points below - unlike him who does not like who belongs top there ... ~*~

and yet you refuse invites from certain players....again,perhaps he doesnt like you.I know I dont play games with folks I dont like.

you will have to explain to Ted Rice that I'm
top ranking in gothic. I didn't know thanks ~*~

Fencer can act Moderator of any board he wants - delete, edit, hide, ban - even if his name isn't listed in the Moderator(s) spot.

mmmmm never knew that DOH

nothing like stating the obvious LOL

Liquid can do it as well.

By the way,
I knew this the first day I joined BK, it wasnt hard to know, its no diferent from you both being able to see all our messages and game messages etc etc etc

Also, in last few days 2 prize tournies of mine have finished.
Both 6 month rook memberships, one won by Sarok for him to donate etc
And one by a pawn Astros who I guess will use it for themselves.
I will send Fencer payment for these this evening

Well done both of you :o)

Its just a shame that not all players who support this site like myself dont get treat as they should. Due to being in wrong cliques
