Andersp: as we have to respect your wishes in wanting to use it. i was never again't it, just the choice to use it or not. i think things will work themselves out in this one over time as it is used and not used.

nightmagic: Yup..you are absolutely correct You and other "anti autopassers" have a choice to either not suggest autopass or say no if your opponent has suggested it. We who love autopass have to follow your wishes.

TarantinoFan: yes i do. and most are not just signing in to see they are blocked in a game or 2.they are playing there games and find one they just return, no big deal. i di not sit and wait for my games to be returned.as i said i would not use it.it is here and it is a choice to use it. i do believe it should be a choice, not implamented in all games. yes it would spead things up in maybe a game or 2, but remember you still wait for the person to make there reg, moves and some use vacation and you just wait.

BIG BAD WOLF:  Thanks, I discovered payment had not been made, and I made it.

alanback: On your profile, at the top there is an option called "Order List" which I think says the current status of orders.

If something seems out of place, sending a personal message to Fencer would be the best (Since a message on the boards may be overlooked or buried from other posts before Fencer gets a chance to see it.)

It hasn't appeared on PayPal yet.

it's possible , however, I never played it ...
maybe the solution would be like in Connect6,
the first player enters 1 number, the second player 2 numbers and so on ... just a quick thought ... there has to be a solution, I've seen several Sudoku board games on the market.

krybulon: It seems to me one of the players has a big advantage, depending on the board size it can be white or black.

here is the link to one of the way to play. I think there are other ways too:
http://www.menneske.no/sudokuto/eng/
anyway, here are the rules:
"The rules for inserting a number is the same as a regular Sudoku. You are only allowed to insert a number one time in the row, column or box.
The winner is the persons who either manage to fill in a whole row, column or box, or inserts the last legal number. But beware, you lose if you insert an illegal number."
Regards, Andy.

krybulon: How would you play Sudoku against an opponent on a turn based site? How do you determine a winner?

Took me a while to figure it out. Well since no one said anything or complained the first time, I'll give the current answer:

You can now earn action points in:
CHESS

Just the basic chess, no variants

is held in Prague between Mar28th and April 1st.
Fencer, are you going to implement Sudoku, for 2 players, on your site ?
Regards, Andy.

I guess there is no automatic process for updating the user database to reflect PayPal renewals?  I renewed yesterday but I am still getting that renewal message.

nightmagic: so you think everyone should have to sign in just to see that they are still blocked in a game. And you think their opponents should always have to sit and wait for their moves when they know it is not possible for them to make one? Wouldn't it be nice to sign in to a game that you can actually make a move in? Rather than the frustration of seeing that you can't make a move and all you need to do is click a button to pass.

Fencer: Always Look On the Bright Side of Life :-)

"Snoopy": Or maybe it's not yet. I am not sure.

Fencer: okay it was still comming up as hasimi shogi a couple of mins ago

"Snoopy": Changed. It's 12:23 here.

has the game changed yet for action points or is it still the same one?

Fencer:

KotDB: By the way, it reminds me the quote from my favourite movie: "All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?"

alanback: Hmmmm ... going to http://BrainKing.info directly?

Fencer:  I guess I autopassed the blog.  I will check.

But how do I find it if I have removed it from the main page?

alanback: But BrainKing has autopass. You should read the blog.

ßăķëď Äłáşķǻñ: as it says in my profile!!!!!

alanback: as i see auto pass i will say NO! if your not here to make the turn yourself, WHY be here at all?

alanback:

I said show me a better site...
NOT, what could make this one better.  


I know the other sites offer auto pass, but they cant compare to what Fencer offers here... 

You know, this smiley is kind of meek....

What we need is a BrainKing Kicks Ass! smiley. I better get on down to Feature Requests.

ßăķëď Äłáşķǻñ:  Before I can agree with this being the best turn-based site, I will have to have autopass ;-)

KotDB:

((make the site better overall))

Show me a better "turn based" game site...
There is none...

Fencer offers the most for a VERY fair price.    And all game sites have the darn banner ads unless u become a member.

Oceans Apart: I noticed that too. I thought that the site didnt like me anymore and didnt give me my action points. But yes every 12 hours you can only get action points from a specific game (randomly chosen) whether you move or win a game.

I do have good news. I don't know if I should post this here or not but i do KNOW the current selected games. If I get in trouble for posting it then i wont post the answers when I found them.

The current game you can earn action points in is:
HASAMI SHOGI

Fencer: Yes, I know your answer. But your answer is wrong. If you want my money, make the site better overall; don't make it worse for Pawns.

Dice Poker Pro: ok thanks for that, i suppose i had better start learning chess and all the others i cant play lol

Have the action points been turned off for any reason, because mine arent registering

gogul: No. Everyone has a choice of paying 2 Euro for the cheapest membership level and get rid of all obtrusive advertising.

Fencer: The people without choice of an other browser dont..

KotDB: But you know the answer.

emmett: I have a hard time believing that the increasingly obtrusive advertising is for my own good.

BerniceC: Upps, had forgotten that there exists an extra board for Feature Requests, sorry!
Fencer: Thank you!

I've got to say that I didn't like the coercive approach to suggesting that BrainKing users use Firefox. My immediate reaction was abrasive.

I've been using Firefox for two days now, just for BrainKing. It's like Fencer is a sort of father-figure here - You might not like what he has to say sometimes, but it's for your own good!

Firefox is very good.

emmett: yep, same with Opera and most browsers these days.

If you are like me, you don't know enough about computers. You've been hearing a lot of talk about BrainKing and Firefox vs. Internet Explorer. You have Internet Explorer and aren't interested in downloading something to replace it.

I downloaded Firefox tonight, and it works quite well.

For those of you who don't know:
- Firefox is free to download.
- You can have both Explorer and Firefox on your computer. You don't have to replace the Internet Explorer that you are used to. You can use both.
- Downloading is easy. Go to google. Type in Firefox download. You will get options like Mozilla Firefox free download. Just download it. It won't hurt.
- You can always get rid of it if you don't like it.

BerniceC: hi, i guess this is in response to a private message i sent to you .. i would have preferred it to be replied to in a privare message as well .. i see i have several new messages which i will read after this.

the point i in the private message was that cryingloser asked a question which was related to brainking.com .. you were right though that it would have been better at the feature request board .. but just because i dont try to over-moderate i allow a single post like this .. especially when its replied by fencer already .. so that should finish that conversation already

you then posted your comment .. which i asked you to do in a private message to the moderator .. as its the moderators task to redirect posts if needed

please take this into private messages with me as it doesnt belong on this board

if you want to continue this on a public board or in a fellowship, thats ok with me as well, but please send me a private message where that will be :)

any continuation of this topic should be done via private messages to me (or another moderate if you dont want to send it to me) .. any continuation of this on this board will be deleted .. sorry

I would apologise for being off topic????

but was I???

confused here.....

what is off topic and who determines it....
a few posts down I was pulled up in a joking? fashion by the "King himself"...
BerniceC: Say anything you like. But don't be off-topic.
Now im being castigated for not going to a mod about Fencer and his remarks, it isnt any wonder that the boards are dying.....from over moderation

oops...sorry but had to have my say.....sheeeeeeeeeesh

Fencer: ummmmmm....being facetious here but isnt this a bit off topic???

Features?? Isnt there a board for that?

CryingLoser: Yes, it's not a bad idea. The change date is kept at the game model, so it just has to be visualized.

Fencer: Since when we play a game we don't read every time the rules, and sometimes appear surprising rules-changes that we recognize in the middle of a match (last example: Hasami Shogi). So it would be nice if under the name of the game you put the date of the last rule change, and if this date is less than 4 weeks it should be given in red font,so that we are warned that a game has still the same name but not the same rules.
Or, as alternative, every time the rules are changed the name of the game should be changed also, in the example above "Hasami Shogi" in "Hasami Shogi Modern", and the old game can either continue with the old rules or if it is no longer interesting can be removed.

Fencer: WooooooHooooooo Super thanks bunches something I've really been wishing for
