Carpe Diem:
FYO, either way, the rule is not coded; it is not enforced by BK in any way. I had many games where I discussed it with my opponents, and many of them agree to follow the rule 'voluntarily' (as I do). The ones that ignore the rule and my request, I don't do it either anymore.

I would interpret the rule in the way you do - if you cannot move anywhere with any dice role, your opponent must open up something somewhere.
But maybe we should find someone who seriously plays Fevga outside of BK, for example in Turkey or Cyprus, where it is very common, and find out what the real-world official rules are. _If there are_ any official rules.

Carpe Diem: i thought this rule was encforced by brainking?

i think the important point is : "all his checkers onto the one point behind player's prime"
so it's not about you being blocked, but all your checkers have to be on the 1 single point directly behind the block ... all stacked into 1 big pile

i even think that the rule doesnt apply when you have 1 piece beyond the block, and all your other pieces directly behind the block

I can't seem to find a board where rule discussions belong. If there is one, please LMK and I'll post there instead, or an administrator/moderator should feel free to move my post.

There is still time! Many games need only one more player!

Anyone want to win a membership?

Fencer: Goodmorning...HI there it is so good to see you again in a couple of conversations ...it is a bit like the old days...

Aganju: That's right. They either use it as a prize for another tournament or donate it to someone else. Or keep it at their profile for a later use.

Carnie: because they want to play games?

I would assume that if they win, they give the prices right back through another tournament, but that’s of course their decision.

Aganju: OK...I stand corrected LOL

Bernice: that’s not what he said. He said ‘brains that were gained by cheating can’t be used’.

Fencer has said - brains cant be used.

Carnie: Your profile says your membership ends in February, and there's nothing after that. Seems to me that the transaction didn't go through, or there was some other error. But if someone else buys a membership for you, doesn't Fencer have to do it manually?

Carnie: If you upgrade, you change immediately and the previous subscription is suitable. Example : you are knight for 2 months and you buy a membership for a rook for 6 months. You’ll get 7 months rook : 2 months as knight are changed into 1 month rook. I’m sure about my answer. It happened to one of my friend.

Bernice: i thought about that too, but it doesn’t make much sense. Imagine you a Bishop membership, and after a week you decide you want a Rook. Now you have to wait the whole year to have Rook privileges? I doubt that’s how it works.

But I have no facts either.

Carnie: I might be wrong but common sense tells me that the UPGRDE wont happen until after your current membership expires....I will stand corrected if I am wrong :)

Thanks! Actually I was a little nervous after the guys from Web4U serverhousing company told me "hey, we must disassemble your server, put the components to a protection wrapper, move them to a new data centre, assemble everything and hope that it will start up". But I guess it was just a one-off operation and won't happen again.

I am in Thanks Fencer

ketchuplover: Yes! Thank you Fencer! 

Doris:

I 2nd that emotion

Oriole: I agree....thank you Fencer

tvm, for all the hard work you putinto this site............

DeaD man WalkiN: it's clear that you have won the game, so either ask them to resign or get Fencer to end the game for you.

Aganju: Oh, it’s very nice. Thank you for your answer.

So, do I have to forfeit the game or should the person I'm play do it...

Mélusine: I didn’t - someone was nice and sponsored me.

Aganju: May I ask you how you succeeded in using Paypal ?
It could be useful to know it, in case we would have the same problem.

Aganju: It’s not possible with a credit card. I’ve already tried. You can use a credit card only for your own account.

Mélusine: I don't know - would that work from a credit card? So I pay with a credit card, and Paypal (takes a fee and) puts the money into your Paypal account? That could work.
Thanks for your offer, I might get back to you - next year. I am in the lucky situation to have postponed my issue for a year - I now got my one-year rook till Jan 2019.

in battleboat plus U have to use all your shots or you can't move...

Aganju: Is it possible for you to transfer money on the Paypal account of someone else ? Then, this person could pay for you. I can do this if you need, and if you trust me.

Aganju: Why don't you mail him the money? That's what I used to do until I bought the life membership. A money order works well. I'm sure they have those in Euros, though I have only used the U.S. dollar.

Though he didn't ask for extra money, I'd also throw in a fiver so he could get himself a beer for his trouble.

Aganju: I hope you get this problem sorted soon. If not post again and I will see what I could do to help you out.

Did anyone recently extend his membership? Mine will run out in a week, and I am in an ugly sitation in that I technically cannot pay - my problem is not that I don’t want to risk an annual Rook amount or don’t have the money, the problem is that I cannot get it to Fencer.

If you care to know why, read on below. If you are willing to help me and live in Germany, let me know (I don’t expect you to pay for me, just execute the transaction for me)

First, I cannot use Paypal, as Paypal has blocked me for life (for the incredible vile crime of having transactions in two different countries). In the past, after discussing with Fencer about it, I simply used a bank-to-bank transfer to his account; as I have an account in Germany, that was easy and fee-free. However, my bank has now started to disallow international transfers without two-factor authentication (in the name of security), but they only offer mobile TAN to german mobile phones (I don’t live in Germany, so I don’t have a german mobile phone), and they cannot handle international SMS. As a result, I can no longer send money to Fencer.
What I am looking for is a volunteer X in Germany, so I can transfer (Überweisung) the required amount to X (national transfers still work with paper TANs, which I have), and then X pays to Fencer in my name. Anyone? If so, send me a personal message with your name and IBAN, and I’ll order a membership, and transfer the respective amount to you.
Thanks!
