Hey all, anyone want to go "halvsies" with me for a black rook... let me know! :-) I can't wait! :-D

Fencer:

Congrats to Firewolf and heyblue32 who have become new Black Rooks a while ago.

mook53lhd: Dont know because i am a ROOK

mook53lhd: You wont be able to see the smilies becasue you are not a paid member.

http://brainking.com/en/FAQ?ht=22

That is the list. Check it out. I found the list a while back and it answered my smiley dilema as well!

you should be able to see a list i believe you know where you write your message? Well there is a little smiling yellow face there if you click the ? beside it a list should pop up with all of the smilies work. try that and see if that works. Yes i see an alien by the way.

furbster: is this code printed anywhere on site .or universal to all msg boards? so if i do you see an alien of some sort. all i see are the nos. mook thanx though was driving me nuts

WatfordFC: just curious not asking you for anything. as a non member .i play my games .write & read posts. so whats the importance of being a knight member. do you get to choose stationary for you msg s . just curious. also do you ppl field a football team. its like you`re all calling signals hike. what do they mean. i saw a post with all #`s not a word.???????????? mook

89 is a beer and 53 is an alien looking smilie

Lamby: by the by what kind of message is etc. mook

Czuch Chuckers: I was thinking the same thing,lol.

Do ya know chuck I was considering that, trying to work out the cost, and if i have enough funds

Anyone want to go halvsies with me????

gogul: *510

If anyone is looking for someone to donate their extra black rook membership to, I'm available! ;-)

Fencer: great

gogul: Yes.

So, if I take advantage of the may action, the one I´ll choose will also get a black rook?

mook53lhd: you're welcome :o)

Lamby: thanks for the explanation. as i said i was merely curious as i never have seen anything untoward on the site. mook

SafariGal: Something for children ...

Pedro Martínez: what does this mean?

Baked Alaskan: :) My bed just gave me a better proposition.

whopper:
Buy your own 6 month membership. If you win all 20 games with me I'll buy your next 6 months membership

Baked Alaskan: I'll do it if you buy me a membership. ;)

I'm bored and just waiting for opponents moves. Anyone here wanna start about 20 games and play for the next few hrs?

Welcome back, KM!

Czuch Chuckers: hey chuckie i wrote within the thread replying to the kiddie sensibilities.all the people i`ve dealt with so far are adults so i really do`t get the beef . you go your way & i`ll go mine.

mook53lhd: Lets not stray off topic ;)

Czuch Chuckers: mighty people.are there superheroes for the kids on this site. adult sensibilities. as safari said how can you read the paper or see the news & have any sensibilities left. if these wash your mouth out with soap stuff has been censored .then whats the diff. you have a filter =censor so use it M

Czuch Chuckers: i never really heard of a site or msg board being child oriented. this is a gaming site .children play video games. i guess this is an outsourced site . mook

whopper: No worries.

رضا: OK. Thanks for the info.

whopper: No you can't. Neither can your opponent. Once we had an issue here with a pawn who would choose games and then delet them, so Fencer took away that ability from pawns.

Can I delete this game?
I can't find a deletion link in the game.

Czuch Chuckers: I'm with you 100%, especially regarding over-moderation.

rednaz23: Here is a link Fencer has provided in the past:

http://math.bu.edu/people/mg/ratings/approx/approx.html

There has been much discussion about the formula in here. Typing "formula" into the search box on this page will show you much of the conversation

How are the Brain King Ratings computed at the end of a game? I understand the basics... but what is the formula? I have been trying to figure it out, but I can't with the data that I have collected thus far. (Sorry, I am a bit of a geek you could say when it comes to figuring things out.)

Thanks

BIG BAD WOLF: Thank you very much I agree wholeheartedly This is a family site and all content not considered child friendly should be hidden

Czuch Chuckers: Even though this is probable not the best board, the "so as not to corrupt the whole site" that you were once told was followed by a smile face, which is also a way to be sarcastic. You posted with foul language, a global moderator seen it first and hide it, and left the rest up to the main moderator to take care of - it was a simple issue to that point.

Yes, all foul language will be removed from the public boards. Off topic and such will at times be allowed to stray, but foul language will always be removed/hidden as soon as possible.

mook53lhd: Thanks, I agree with you 100%, and was being sarcastic, but it doesnt always come out well in writing... I think the boards on brainking are often far over moderated, and we always hear the excuse that its because "its a family oriented site, and children read these boards" or something like that. I have been hiden before because of an errant swear word and told that I needed to be hiden "so as not to corrupt the whole site!" This from a global moderator, so it must be the policy. Anyway, I am glad that someone agrees with me that these boards are hardly likely to lead to the corruption of anyone on this site, no matter the content, and that parental monitoring is much more appropriate than over zealous moderation.

Czuch Chuckers: er sir; if you were a youth yourself ,then you should know that most of what young people want to know they pick up on the st. friends & schoolmates pass along things .you know the grapevine. i agree that foul language & offensive posts by anyone are uncalled for. when they say kids have access ,i don`t know if they mean teens who play the games .or a youngster watching daddy on the pc.very few things these days shock anyone. but don`t get the idea that todays kids are naive. most know the story by the time they reach high school.certainly i haven`t seen any posts on this channel which in the slightest way would rob a young person of their youth. in fact i don`t think i`ve read anything which as you say should be censored .no i don`t know the post you are referring to .in any event its the rare exception & not the rule. mook

alanback: as a matter of fact ,a friend of mine works in the garment center .he knows of a club somewhere near 38th & bway. not far from bryant park. if you`re still interested write back & i`ll find out where it is. i`ve heard you can get action on the games if thats your thing. let me know mook

hi, i completed four games of Go 9x9 but didn't get a rating. or is it more than 4 games.

Mirjam: Maybe I should make the white king icon a little bigger now :-)

Fencer: you just wrote the 18000th message on this board:) Congratulations, you won eternal white BrainKing membership!

Fencer: I took it to be a clever marketing strategy that benefits both the buyer and seller.There is a degree of risk(that being the site is not guarenteed to be here in 10 years,hell,we might not inhabit this earth in ten years)but I was impressed by the creativity in presenting it as an option.

furbster: I am afraid it would disprove the very meaning of that. The black rook simply means "yes, I really believe BrainKing will be here after 10 years and I believe it NOW, without waiting for every year and paying just a part of it".

furbster: Ahh yeah I see, like getting a gold watch after you worked for a company for so many years!
