Calling all Gammon players, its time for the next Madmonkeys 'Gammon' Stakes (3) tourny :o)

ALSO

For all the sailors out there, join in Madmonkeys 'Boat Battle' (2) tourny :o)

If you would like to be in a Prize Tournament where the only games being played are backgammon and prizes are guaranteed
You still have time to enter this tournament. There is a $5 donation which will go to brainking to enter. Prizes are $50 to the overall tournament winner and a 6 month brain knight membership to each section winner(s).
You can enter the BK Fund Raiser Prize Tournament and make your donation HERE
Thanks to all that enter and lots "O" luck.

LOL muah!!

bwild you should change your name to "The last dig"

that kinda looks like an attack...cant we play nice together? hmmmmmmmm? there are children watching you know! what ever will they think? LMAO

LJ NO IDEA why you refer to someone as my HUBBY as My husband does not play here AND FYI To anyone I never DID JOIN YOUR TOURNEY AND NEVER WANTED TO. it isnt ME you are deleting its other innocents.
If you even understood the question put to you, you wouldnt have said I was trying to cause trouble. PUT in your tourneys that it is for certain ppl only. DONT let people think it is an open tourney when it clearly isnt. IT is a tourney put on by you for a select group only. Perhaps your reasoning is you dont want certain ppl to win and get the membership. Be more specific on your tourneys but by removing innocent ppl you are only making your self look worse then you already do the a vast majority of the site now.

good point! they can only be in one tourny.

... but I also agree with you Jason that such an IMPORTANT edit to the tournament description is wrong - not this late into the tournament.

There are probable already knights & pawns entered in the tournament, and now that they are signed up will not look at the description again. Then there are going to be stuck in a long tournament (2 games per player) without the prize they thought would be there.

WELL AS I BELIEVE ONCE ITS A PRIZE ONE IT SHOULD STAY A PRIZE ONE , NOT TO DECIDE AT A LATER DATE TO CHANGE THE RULES

your right!LOL:)
Jason has the right idea...just drop out..it probably wont happen anyway.

Fencer has always said it is up to the tournament creator to remove and run their own tournament how they like.

long john ... as i belive its not a nice thing to do , to use your position as tournament creator to remove people you dont seem to like for one reason or another ....i have removed myself from your tournament . another reason for this is the fact that you have edited the description WHICH I THINK SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ..

I did not mention there was anything wrong with it at all LJ, i asked a couple of questions.

For this i have been put on LJ's enemy list (like i am worried) AND i have removed myself from your tournament LJ.
The way i see it Rose is LJ has no intention of giving the prize or running it as a prize tournament, why else keep removing people who want to play ?
He will not let it get anywhere near 200, not that it has a hope the way its going LOL.

As for BK 2.0, i wont comment on it :o)

Longjohn It has been asked many times. Why are you taking certain players out of the tourney? Do you have your favs or dont want high rated players or what? You've taken out lots of ppl with no explanation as to why you are doing this.

LJ: 2 years ROOK membership is a very generous prize to donate, BUT a couple of questions.

You have it set the tourny for a minimum of 16, but state it will only be a Prize tourny if you get 200 plus players, then it will return to a normal tourny. Personally i think that the only reason there are 71 at present is because it is such a good prize, and alot would lose interest if it was only a normal one (being 2 games switched as well). Players need more time, as there is so much going on at present.

Also you have set it for closing date March 31st.
You are on vacation at the end of March and all of April.
Is there a reason for March 31st ??
Why not give players (pawns & Knights) that extra time (a month) to make room to join ??

Note: There is a chance that BK 2.0 may be ready by then, in which case Fencer will of course inform everyone and all Tournaments will have to be started a.s.a.p.

Aw, chattyrats! I'd hold a prize tournament just for you if I could. Only you would be allowed to enter.

Knowing you, you'd still manage to lose though! lol

Hmmmm Must be a pick an chose tourney. Only wants a certain select few. If that IS the case he shoulda just sent out special invites to the ones he wants in it!

I too had signed up.. but then my name vanished.... (i am sure?)

Hi Jason and Rose.Rose has it correct,Thanks Rose for clearifying that point for me!

Hi Jason, I think his point is he keeps entering himself an his dad in to it but LJ keeps removing him from it. He just wants to know why

i think you have the two tournaments mixed up universal , the two year rook membership one is free to enter (i do believe )

Why do you keep deleting UNIVERSAL EYES and my Father MASTERMIND from the Tournament.I think i deserve an explanation,I will send Rose the Money ahead of time to create the biggest Prize Tournament on BK AND WILL MAKE SURE THERE IS NO DONATIONS FOR THE TOURNAMENT,Because as i explained it will be paid for by me in advance,regard less how many People join it will be a Garanted Prize.Money up front to Fencer,that is how you help the best Game site on the net.I deserve an explanation,and am waiting for it!!!

AIRCRAFT ENTHUSIASTS ...come and join this new fellowship

Like yours??
Probably cos he got noone sign up for it, he may off if it wasnt so close to Linda s one being up

I don't see the tourney listed anywhere.... Is this a real one?

Gothics was for money to go to Brainking :o)

So what was your 10000 dollar tourny all about LJ?
I cant ask PM cos you stuck me on enemy LOL is it cos I can see through you and your schemes??

The problem with this is if people use the donation page and send fencer $5 (US or Euro wasnt specified?) Fencer only gets two of it. Was this discussed first with Fencer Gothic? Kind of a waste of folks money if fencer only gets 2 outta the 5. This is why Harley an Linda are taking money directly for Lindas tourney then forwarding it all to fencer so then he only loses a few bucks outta all of it! not for every donation

What it looks like to me is the $5 to play in the tournament is to be donated directly to BrainKing (Fencer) - where then Fencer will let Gothic know the persons ID. (So Gothic does not see any of the money himself)

Then as an extra bonus, if 100 people donate, he will put up the money himself to the winners. (But you are correct that he will probable get the $1,000 himself) :-)

The previously BIGGEST Prize tournament, Gothic's $250 Prize tournament is still moving along.

I aint got space for you to show them Ughaibu, mines too full up with fellowship tournies :oS
managed to keep post on topic look LOL

Congratulations to Pioneer54 for winning Line4 in the Brotherly Love (Beginners) tournament. :)

Bernice and LJ: Okay guys, you're back! Let's try again. Next time I'll 'hide' you for a week which will be a great shame because I think you're both valuable assets to this board and BrainKing in general.

To reiterate, NO personal attacks, jibes, bickering - be they directed at a named person or by reference.
If an attack is made in the same post as a tounament 'advertisement', the entire post will be removed.

Be good - PLEASE! :-)

$10,000 First Prize Backgammon

I would wet myself if this happened and you had to fork that amount out.
But hey, I am sure the tourny wont stay there long anyways

LJ grow up will you please

If the people in my breaket could send the games back to me faster I will try to move this one a long as it seems that I'm the 1 holding the next round from moving on. AND S O R R Y e1 that I have not been moving faster. But BOSS = WIFE has been wanting more PR time with me...
:o{P``````

Bernice and LongJohn: I'm sorry both, but you were warned. I've put you both on 'hide' for a few hours.

I've got an ever-growing mailbox of complaints from other BK members asking me to act.
To those of you that took the trouble to message me - sorry, you were right and I was wrong.

Arnie, it is not necessary to put this person's name in there like that. You can include anyone you want, but you don't need to be rude by letting the whole site know that a certain person isn't welcome in the tournament. I stand by my opinion that is very rude and bad for the site.

I thought it was popular till I lost 90 plus percent of them LOL

Backgammon is one of the most popular games, and usually if someone wants to offer a prize, they want a lot of people to join - so Backgammon is usually the choice.

Why can't somebody creat a prize tourney for something besides Backgammon ? LOL

just as an aside....I didnt mention anynames...I asked did anyone know about it because i couldnt find it was all.....
who deleted my post on this query??? it was tournament related.
Oh well LJ reposted it LOLOL

Should your tournament, now running be somewhere for the public to see?

Why you gettting on her now LJ? What do I need to read to know what she did?

What's it's Name, Bernice. I'll check in my site
