Fencer: i think a paying member should remain on the active list until after they've been a pawn for 30 days, as a courtesy for being a paying member! there can't be that many paying members that haven't been on in a while. jmo

wellywales: No, it's not. It will be on Wednesday.

Fencer: Thanks Fencer, proberly in the rules and I have not seen it

wellywales: 6 months for the paying members, 1 month for the pawns.

Fencer: So when do you become an inactive player? over what period of time

wellywales: I mean inactive players of the particular game.

Fencer said "removing inactive users from BKR charts" is that users to games or the site?

rod03801: I am not sure, about 250.

Wow. 182 people on the site as I type this. Fencer, what is the highest amount of people on the site at one time so far?

Fencer: OOPS! Sorry

BUT, after saying that it might be intresting to watch people that try. I will join your f/s Reza if you allow me too.

Please discuss fellowships there, not here.

Chessmaster1000:


25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29That no flesh should glory in his presence.

Flesh can not logically figure God out. Never has and never will. Using LOGIC trying to figure God out is vain.

Reza:
Who is God and what qualities does he have?
We'll speak just from ourselves and based on our feelings and of course logic.

Use logic talking about God? LOL! This is completely illogical........

As a bonus for paying to use BrainKing more you get the option to ... er, use BrainKing less!

Bry: Yes, it's a bonus of buying an extra year of membership. In all cases, the number of vacation days left will be 30 as of 1st January.

Bry: i agree but i could see it happen if its allowed

Jason: but that'd costs them - all for what? a few games not to time out on the internet? wouldnt make sense for someone to abuse it like that I think.

Fencer: but if they extend by a year today, and they had nil vacation days, then get 30, but use 10 before Jan 1st, should they not start Jan 1st with 20? or is the fact they get reset to 30 again a bonus of comitting to an extra year of membership?

so some people could use 60 , 90, 120 days vacation if they extend membership everytime they use thier days up

Pedro Martínez: No, the number of vacation days never exceeds the max value. It will be reset on 1st January anyway.

that explains it then ;).

Fencer: Will such person receive another 30 vac days by Jan 1?

Jason: Well, it wasn't officially announced yet but if you extend your membership by another year, the vacation counter would be reset to the original value (30 for Brain Rooks, etc.) instead of waiting for the 1st January.

reason i ask is that i was looking at someones profile and there now appears to be alot more vacation days than was there the last time i looked

rtv:
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again (just maybe with a different opponent ;) )

On the menu you can go to the Waiting Games area and choose one of the open invitations there.

Get a big ranking in a game type. Then maybe people will invite you instead ;)

Make friends and play against them...

Exctintion chess isn't my favourite game but I'll accept any invitation I'm offered ;)

I have recently signed up and have been reading through the site. I cannot find rules info related to how things work. For example, I challenged someone to a game of extinction chessand they declined the game. So how do I get the best players to play me? Where can I find info related to those types of things? Can someone help me out with more info?
Thanks

yes glad I didnt renew my membership yet

I expect there will be a big influx here, IYT have had a massive crash

Marfitalu: Pawns can't delete posts, so there was no option for you to do it.

Marfitalu: Only paying members can edit or delete their own messages.
Moderators can do it to any message on the boards they moderate
Global Moderators can do it in any public board

Marfitalu: I've done it for you. ;)

Marfitalu: You'll start with 15d but no bonus is added for each move... the last number is irrelevant: it could have just as well been 0, I think.

Actually I did a mistake: this setup would last at most 30d, since it's 15d for each player.

rabbitoid: If you want a game to last no more than 15days whole, you can set it to 15d/0/15d

Fencer: thanks. I really misunderstood it, then.

rabbitoid: The increment is added only if you are below the limit and the final value cannot exceed the limit. For example, if you have 14 days and 18 hours left and make a move, it won't add a whole day but only 6 hours [to reach the limit of 15 days].

Fencer: I agree, but we have already played for 5 days, we have used up time, no? or does the counter reset itself each time an increment is added, until it reaches the max value?

rabbitoid: Then it's correct. You cannot have more than 15 days as a time left, that's the defined limit value.

All guys and gals ......

I have created a fellowship named Who is God and what qualities does he have? and I hereby invite all of you to join it for discussions about God. No holy books are going to be used. We'll speak just from ourselves and based on our feelings, and of course logic. So, if you ar einterested, ask for an invite and I'll gladly invite you to it. I don't want to start sending invitations to everyone. If you are interested, feel free to join. We'll decide on what and where to start from, after a few have joined.

Here's teh link by the way: http://brainking.com/en/ShowFellowship?fid=426

Fencer: No, the main page shows "14 days 23 hours" too.

rabbitoid: Yes, there is a small visual bug on the game pages. The main page [game list] shows the correct time left. I'll fix it.

I may be a bit dim, but could someone please explain again the functionning of the Fischer clock?

Example: I have a game that started 5 days ago, with setting "Time: 7 days, Bonus: 1 day, Limit: 15 days, no days off". We are now at move 17, which means that the "time left" climbed slowly up to the 15 day limit, and that's where it is now, 5 days into the game: both players have 15 days "time left".

But is that the way it was supposed to be? if the max "time left" is 15, shouldn't it read now 15days minus the time we have been using so far?

Eriisa: You thought that was a bug?

woo hoo! I can post again! That's where it hit me. I'd try to post and it would just vanish. lol!

but was it just me that hasnt been able to log in for over 12 hours ?

Fencer: http://brainking.com/cz/ShowGame?g=952182

All right, please send me IDs of unfinished finished games, I'll finish them manually.

Pedro Martínez: I mean unfinished games, making moves :-)

Fencer: Yes, the three games I had "stuck" a short time ago just played fine.

Just this one not resolved, that I won, showing as my opponent's turn in my list of games.

Fencer: Not properly, this game still says it's my move:
