Emne: Team tournaments

I know that if you have a green dot by the tournament means you are in it, but what does a red dot mean?
The page shows about three of them on some tournaments

Kiwiyeti: i'm not entirely sure, in fact this is a complete guess, but i think;

Green dots means you're in the tourney
Red dot means your not in a tourney or signed up for a team of that tourney
and no dot means you are in a team but haven't yet been signed in for the team tourney by your captain.

furbster: I think that is exactly what it means!

danheg:Fencer will take away your Knight membership, as well as the Rook one and ban you forever from the site for messing the system and trying to confuse it

Emne: Re:

danheg: you should end up with about seven and a half months of rook membership as a rough guess when fencer logs back in ;)

Emne: Re:

danheg: Actually I'll give a 4th things that will happen.

The new rook membership will be the primary one right away. Then after 6 months after your rook expires, what you have left on your Knight should be waiting to be used at that time.

(I think Fencer can put 2 months of Knight into 1 month of Rook membership extension - but you would have to ask Fencer about that.)

Emne: Re: Is there

Jason: Yesterday for about 1/2 hour, and today off and on for less then 10 minutes at a time, connection problems - all other sites work well.

Don't think it is a BrainKing issue, but a connection issue (since I could not also connect to brainking.info, which is on a different server if I remember correctly.)

BIG BAD WOLF: There was a global downtime on our ISP. Not a BrainKing issue.

Fencer: Why in my Cheversi game 2203836 will it only let me place the Queen on the board and nothing else ?

MadMonkey: Rules: "In order to eliminate an advantage of black player, a game must be started by placing a white king, followed by placing a black queen."

11. Januar 2007, 14:08:34

Emne: Re:

Pedro Martínez: But my opponent had not placed a White King, he put a Knight.

MadMonkey: Yes, I know...this rule took effect on the 11th of January...read this:

11. Januar 2007, 14:15:57

Emne: Re:

Pedro Martínez: So the game started using old rules, and now uses new rules.

Is that right ? Certainly not fair, so now white has major advantage

11. Januar 2007, 14:17:28

Pedro Martínez

Emne: Re:

MadMonkey: Yes, that is right...even though I don't think the advantage of the white is that major...if any at all...

11. Januar 2007, 14:20:58

Emne: Re:

Pedro Martínez: Of course it is, Blacks Queen will now get blocked in, hence the idea of taking away Blacks advantage, now WQhite has a major one. I would not mind if White had been forced to use the King first like the Rules state, but i dont think changing game rules during a game is right.

11. Januar 2007, 14:22:04

Emne: Re:

MadMonkey: Just delete the game! The rules should have only effected new games started after the 11th, some bug, I guess.

Czuch Czuckers: you cant delete tournament games
and as far as i can see half the games in the tournament will be played by the old rules and the rest with the new ones!!!!

11. Januar 2007, 14:24:09

Emne: Re:

"Snoopy": That sux

11. Januar 2007, 14:26:38

Fencer: Could you just restart the game for me please so we are both using the same rules

11. Januar 2007, 14:31:07

Emne: Re:

"Snoopy": Its even worse when a game starts by old rules, then switches mid stream... fencer will probabl6y have to delete the whole tournament?

11. Januar 2007, 15:13:37

coan.net

Emne: Re:

MadMonkey: what is the difference if your opponenet uses the king or knight first? both give 8 points, and both you can't block any of those 8 points - so no matter if white started with king or knight, it should be the same or very close to the same.

As a side note, I've played with the king-queen rule in 3 test games, and I was still able to win all 3 games as black. (just a lot closer) Of course there are a few other rules on how spaces are counted that was not in place at that time.

Emne: Re:

Czuch Czuckers: No games started by old rules are switched mid stream.

11. Januar 2007, 15:17:12

Emne: Re:

Fencer: My game 2203836 was.
My opponent started with a Knight (not a king), now its forcing me to play my Queen, thats not what the rules say. Thats why i would like it restarted.

Emne: Re:

MadMonkey: It was started a while after midnight where some final bugfixing was made. The move has been cancelled.
