well i wish someone would explain to me why any have to decay at all i cant see it achieving anything at all , as long as people are active in playing some games then there should be no problem . inactive accounts after a period of time should be removed (which i dont think has been happening)

how about games like anti backgammom ect these games can take forever to finish a game , i dont really understand the point to all this really , it would mean me playing every type of game on my list all the time or i would lose ratings , it would be ok if i only played a few types of games but i play quite a few ,, if i have got all this right it would discourage (sp) me from starting any new type of game

its been slow here at times depends what im trying to acces i think

i think i would just prefer to pay someones membership ,rather than go through boost a pawn programme

ive never been embarrassed to get most moves in a day .. infact i was proud to make top .

if people have to play themselves to get a high rating then they are decieving themselves . they are not as good as they would like to think they are ... ps i have noticed this with a few players ...hopefully fencer can get a way to stop it or at least catch then doing this and ban then or something in the final brainking version

i still cant see how that would work . using the ip address would be more suitable , but i like a few others have two paying members here

yes and i have resigned all the games that i know i have lost too . if everyone did the same we would be all sorted in our games

the only people who would want to delete games would be the ones that had lost the games already

read it yesterday thanks , i also asked how bkrs can be changed in a fair way , there isnt one if my bkrs were put to where they was before the crash , i t wouldnt be exactly fair because i may still have games going which could still alter the outcome , but if people start altering there bkr i will want mine put back too ,

gothic has just said differnt , so i dont know what to think

what do you mean restore games that are lost ? i had aked fencer yesterday if there was going to be any more information to be restored ...but havent had an answer yet . i dont want to spend my days making moves for nothing if they are going to dissapear when any update is done

yes i am coming across a few bad sporstmen too , having to play games that they knew they had lost and will still lose , there are some good sportsmen too so thanks to the ones that have resigned ;)

just a question ... how can you restore bkrs ? if this starts happening i will end up in a worse position than i am now , i do know what my bkrs was on some of my games , my question is how can people get thier bkr back and still be 100 % fair (this isnt aimed at anybody) but if i start to go further down the list then i would want and my finshed games deleted and mr bkrs restored to what it was before the crash

anybody that has a game with me that they know they won me on 100 % please message me so i can resign the game , im working my way through the ones i know of , would be nice if other people did the same .(could save months of redoing games that should already be done )

its your turn is working fine for me shes,school,tex lol , i do get an error page every now and again but a refresh usually gets rid of it

whatever happens to the ratings some people wont be happy (me included with some games ) , steve make that 8% lolol

only a couple of games ?????? i lost nearly 600 so speak for yourself

fencer has all the imformation been salvaged that can be or could there be anymore to be updated ? i just dont want to replay games if they are goung to end up vanishing in the next few days

ps i have most of my bkrs printed out but im not sure how this can be put back

(((hugs))) all round to everybody (even fencer & liquid) ..... now im going to lie down and cry lol

yes rose they are only games , but its still got me mad , some days ive been on here for 20 hours at a time ...just to finish games im playing .
i was under the impression that all data would be backed up on a daily basis , but i was wrong ;(((

gutted , 17 tournament wins down .
, six weeks of hard work down the drain !!!!

its a big mess , im not even doing any moves the mood im in ......especially games that i have already won/lost six week before ....jason/gutted

heres a few links that might help you can find more links by visiting some of the pages above ;))

sorry i have too many games going to start thinking about tablut lol the links do work

i think there has been a big debate about this a few months back harley . some people say its cheating if you dont use both dice ,others dont agree . me personally always use both (even if it would lose me the game ) but if my opponent didnt use both dice then i feel i couldnt call them a cheat .. because the game allows it . just my opinion ;)

yes you can delete a game without affecting your bkr ,

annabria . whats for free ?

tonyh
yes i get terrible problems too some times worse than others i do have highspeed connections , yesterday i managed over 600 moves ( i was on here for 20 hours) if there was no problems with the site i would have easily done 1500 moves ,
ps some days i dont sit here and wait for it to come back on and do only a few moves (i find something else to do ;)) . )

bernice is was terrible for me yesterday on and off like a yoyo ,,
we have two pcs set up here one down stairs & one upstairs and sometimes i cant get on but judd(upstairs) gets no problems

its ok, i too worked it out now lol ;))

ok does it hide them permanantly ? i just tried it and they are hidden
(a) can i get them back ?
(b) can the (hidden ) persons messages show up in the future ?

thanks lamby

im not saying anything lolol

yes it does bbw , but i dont think it favours the uk holidays more usa holidays

the teams in fellowships are for team tournaments againsat other fellowships , but they havent started as yet ....(its still in the pipeline)

if you have lots of games going , there will be a percentage of those games where your move is forced to a certain place & if your on almost all day you can do a thousand moves easliy ;))

yes twice in three days ;( also when you get the games back in games like backgammon it gives you differnt dices , so we cant even stick to the same moves ;(

yes an explanation would be nice , not only moves was lost i for one had sent invites out and had to try and remember who accepted them after they had vanished , (is this likely to keep happening ?)

well i have games that wont even load up properly (things missing from boards )

ha maybe it was once , i have too much deja vous going on in my head trying to work out what i lost lol

it appears that twice today i have wasted my time , things dissapearing or reapearing ,hmmm that cant be a server going down twice in one day ?? not amused

i wouldnt like to see a limit on the amount of games we can play
uil i for one have many games if i was limited i would sit here twiddling my thumbs most of the time , alot of my opponents move at differnt times of the day so i would end up with no one to play

i think the same type of thing could have happened to me about a week or so ago , couldnt place a game missing but one of my bkrs dropped without any loss of games (checked through all of my mails to double check )

gubbe , im stopping no one from paying more money , im just wanting to know if sending money will sort the problem ..... but no one is answering !!!!
i have already supported this site by buying two memberships for other people and will be buying two more for presents very shortly

maybe rose can answer this , fencer hasnt answerd my last two mails on here .
will a new server sort this problems of access to the site ???
in my opinion it wont but im waiting for an expert to correct me
quate from fencer (Moreover, I cannot guarantee that after adding another machine BrainKing will never crash again. I really plan to buy a new server and I hope that it will solve problem - but I am not [and I cannot be] absolutely sure. I have to test it but I cannot ask other people to buy the hardware just for "testing". It would not be fair to them.)
so how come your asking people to part with money when no-one seems to know anything

im not trying to be so negative either , i just wanted a few words from fencer . this last week i have hardly been able to access the site (yes i know it s been on at times) but i must have been at work when this happend

thanks madmonkey

i would still like to hear a few words from fencer about this . also the idea about sponseing pawn upgrades i dont agree with that is maybe something for the future but that would defeat the object at the moment .as far as i know we have no target to reach ? .
so some clue to what we need would be helpfull

a few weeks ago a conversation between me and fencer ...welll fencer said that he did not know if a new sever would sort the problems ... so before people get carried away lets hear something from fencer please , this was the sort of topic awhile ago and fencer didnt speak up but maybe he was busy (im only asking these questions because if we raise a target which i dont think we have been told yet , and the site doesnt improve then there could be alot of upset people)
please dont start shouting at me these are a few ponts that some of us would like cleard up .
i love this site as much as any of you and i too apreciate what fencer does for us THIS SITE HAS THE BEST FEATURES THAT ANY SITE HAS its like the best bits from lots of differnt sites also the people who play here are the best

it only took me 5 or 6 hours to get on here again !! now its time for my bed without managing any moves , i am at work again for twelve hours tommorow . if i cant get on again tommorow i could end up timing out on some games as i may not get time to access the site for two days after tommorow ;~(

is there a way someone could do something like a sub-host to improve the sites performance ? i have asked before but got no reply , if so i will buy a server to help from this end

fencer im not having a go at you .
just telling you how some people feel
