I was looking at the membership categories and the brain rook is really a good deal. I was checking to see why one of my opponents wasn't moving and it turns out she (a brain rook) currently has more than 4,000 (four-thousand) games going right now. If you like to play, being a brain rook is really a great deal.

Snoopy: noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! my opponent takes all of nine days to make a move, but timed out this time, and was saved by the bell! aaaaaaarghhhhhh!

please, please, please, restart timeouts

Hrqls: Interestingly all the old messages in that game have been deleted (including my "good luck") and the message box is now gone.

Hello. I just started a hypergammon game with an opponent I've never met before. I wished her "good luck" in English on my first move. She replied in French "shut up ........" (the third word had probably a typo in it). I said nothing thinking I had probably misunderstood or my opponent was not fluent in French but in the next move the message was "le petit con" ("the stupid jerk"). Is this normal and acceptable behavior here?
