coan.net: I think that was the case.

Why I can't join any fellowships' PahTum team?

furbster: I like the idea allowing Pawn members playing ponds, so then there are more players playing. As the current rules state that Pawn members always use the last known move this should be fixed.

Justaminute: You forget the eternal premium members, 106 other Black Rooks and a Black Knight.

I see there are 100001 Brain King users now! Congratulations ;)

My first to play game says I've 21 hours left, but tommorrow is one of my fixed weekend days. As it times out, would that cost vacation hours?

A Christmas present for the site :) The last new game is released ages ago...

Fencer: Strange. It seems I am having DNS-issues since yesterday I think. Sometimes it's no problem at all, sometimes I get a blank page showing that the domain name brainking.com is for sale :)

Does anyone have also trouble accessing to BK?

AbigailII: You already drawn the game, I would not see a reason why not accepting a draw here... in normal game elimintation he would be eliminated, but since this is a one win match there is a rematch.

rabbitoid: This tournament is not sorted by the BKR, that wouldnt be fair with the unbalanced games. I think for the whole tournament just 1 seeding is done. That shouldn't be.

aaru: How are these calculated? Other than the BKR I think as the higher BKR here has a lower dan rating

Go Ceiter 2260 - 2 dan
Go 13x13 ad0 2414 - 4 dan
Go 9x9 Ceiter 2142 - 1 dan

Fencer, that reward for achieving the bonus Conqueror Achievement... is that a pernament one?

Carl: It's bonus code time again, so if you buy a membership you can get extra bonusses to it according to the bonus coloured codes.

Fencer: I think 25 played games is still a bit low to predict a player's play rating. So why not make another rating level for played 100 rated games (ehm, well-established BKR)

Fencer: The link to the blog does not work...

This will definitely take abuse of the system down. If a game now last longer than a year, it is probably an Anti Backgamon game with loose time controls.

Undertaker.: A black achievement? Which costs points? Interesting though. Good point.

Undertaker.: Short: No.

Longer: I refer to a P{laystion 3 Throphy where a player must do a friendly fire to achive an achievement, that's ridiculous!

Undertaker.: I think an Achievement should be something that you really WANT to do.

Dobbelschaken (AbigailII - joshi tm)

Should be an achievement I think ;) But it is not achieved at my Profile?

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.

Snoopy: Just a thought....

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

Czuch: To play Online Poker! You can get to the list of Poker tables by clicking the link on the main page just under "Ponds".

Setting of the message preview saves lots of time. It ios a very useful feature that saves clicks, difficult...

"GERRY": The game list at least tripled since then ;) ;) ;)

Here are my two cents. The vacation system should stay the way it is, with one exception. We Black Rooks have an advantage never renewing our membership, but, as any other busy man, there should be a manner possible to set a string for vacation (for have a real vacation, for instance). I think the number of autovacation days should be limited. The rest of the vacation days should be planned (and, also, no vacation if you plan the days too short). Of course, that should not solve te problem, but makes the turtles think.


By the way, I've got 13 vacation days left. 2 are used as autovacation and the rest is planned as holiday in August.

Totaal aantal spelers: 66666, waarvan op dit moment aanwezig: 120 // Number of players: 66666 , online 120

Congratulations for having another milestone reached! But how many of these accounts are active?

Stats of won Cheversi games
white 991 (28.54 %)
black 2341 (67.42 %)
draw 140 (4.03 %)

Well, these are the stats including the games before the rules change (where Black won almost every game). Fencer, do you have also stats of played games after the rules change?

Is it possible to change the language setting pernamently? (in the chatbox)

Why does Brazilian Checkers have the same Bordercolor as Dameo?

http://brainking.nl/nl/SelectGameType?p=4

Thank you Fencer, one more Backgammon toy to play with ;)

MadMonkey: But why we have to sneak in? Why it isn't public?

And why there is still no international Checkers?

Another one for you : ;)

When I look at the Statistics page, a I filter the averages to only those who played every game (1/1 # of games) then I see they should have 108 established BKR's to fit the filter. If you count the numbers at the new game pages together, you come to 107.

That can be only one thing, there's somewhere a game hidden! But where? And what will it be? A Ludo/Jungle proposal? A cool Chess variant (please let it be Knightmating, Ultima or Superschaak) or FINALLY International Checkers ;) ?

9-11 year kids are playing RuneScape or somthing like that.

My parents don't even know about my internet surfing behavior.

Thank you! Now I can play my games normally (although I can't read any Czech..)

It is the first time since the harddisk-crash in November that I am having problems accessing to the site. Has there anything else malfunctioned?

I think a lot of Logik playes will like the Green peg now. Even I though, confused myself often in the white and grey peg.

There are (except for New Year's Eve) no site vacation days anymore. Therefore Fencer bestowed each membership 5 extra vacation days.

Better BK is turned to normal again. Phew.

Good point.

Dear Fencer, would you like to read these board: http://brainking.nl/nl/Board?bc=6 where we are trying to solve the Cheversi advantage?

nametoolongtofi: Probably :D

The site is running perfectly for me tonight...

Fencer: Owkay, the site now works properly again? Thanks. Finnaly played half of my moves in short time without any stange evil screen of overload.

Ok, the negative time limits appeared again. Had BrainKing's clock stopped again? When will it be ticking again?

Looks like the server is running again. Just start playing again.

Dear Fencer,

Looks like the image server is down, since I and every other player can't play any games, please could you suspend all the games until the server is running?

Internet Exploder 7
and
Fire Fox

Purple: Ha good one, International Checkers (the variant played most in the Netherlands) is still missing.

"The rest of this year should be spent by finishing several important changes, regarding BrainKing servers (yes, we have been upgrading our hardware again, it is always a good change), but I want to write more about it later - some details are still being formulated."

So, no new games to play during the last dark months of this year? O well. Today's feature can come in handy, too. Thanks for it.
