you complained - I wait til the massage works again ...

Buckwheat, the ratings will still be fairly accurate, and in a bit of time they will be fully accurate again. And as Dano suggested, it would be only fair in games like chess, tank battle etc, if you made identical moves where possible. There is no need to over-react to this situation. Fencer has explained how it happened and apologised, there is nothing more he can do. And nothing more we can do but get on with it and make the best of it. I'm just glad we are back online and I am able to play again.

i don't play dark games...if you wanna complain about them you'll have to do it yourself

12. August 2003, 13:28:42

the ratings aren't gonna be a very accurate thing anymore now are they....how about just dropping them...

12. August 2003, 13:27:10

Well I'm sorry your game is messed up, but I guess you have an advantage now in other games that you didn't have before. You could always ask your oppenent to be fair and make the same moves again until you get to where you last were.. if you remember the moves that is!

12. August 2003, 13:26:49

Emne: inconvenience indeed
to spot a player too heinous to stand by his former move
would be very convenient for me - wouldn't play him again
and spare idle effort thus ...

the problem are 'dark games' that timed out, not your easy worries.

btw IYT has had riots of chain reactions at messing up
dark games, haven't seen you there crying out loud ...

they called it 'inconvenience' btw and apologized ~*~

PS
chill - this is the day after ...
sorry the massage-saloon doesan't work yet

i bet the guy i beat in the tank game will agree with you...and probably laughing as he makes a different move now

buckwheat, we've all had games go back a few moves. I've had to start one all over again! It wasn't an intentional thing to set all the games back and if there was any way around it then Fencer would have done it by now. This is still a new site that is growing and it will encounter problems along the way. But you won't find a better, friendlier site with owners that care as much. No matter what inconvieniences there are, its worth it just to have this site at all.

12. August 2003, 13:18:32
Joseph S 
Emne: inconvienence..???
apoligize for the inconvience..??....like the other player knowing my chess moves now...or my tank game that i made the sneaky move in that's backed up to ....funny how it's right where he can make a different move now to get around what i planned...a game site that can just snuff out a days moves and call it an 'inconvience".....and the games that timed out...why can they be reinstated but the ones i won are back on my gamesheet....your whole site is an inconvience....i'm sorry i started playing here....

Emne: time warp
the idea is nice, but what happens in game like battle boats, or the dark variants, where the whole purpose is to find out what the other guy is hiding?

12. August 2003, 05:39:47

COOL! I'm tied (with 0) with the most moves yesterday! :-)

12. August 2003, 05:01:50

It appears yesterday never happened... it was all just a dream.. .lol...
I'm sure Fencer will have something to say about this when he gets a chance. I personally am not going to make any further moves until we hear from him.

Emne: Regurgitated Games
For those of you who are wondering is it just me, I guess not becasue I have a number of games I have moved on that have either timed out or gone back to where they were a few days ago too.

Let's hope Fencer can fix this one up ... got to it my friend :)

Emne: just a suggestion.......
I have seen several internet chess sites and i saw that they had ads for companies. Could brainking do ads to get money? (and then maybe use it to get a better server and more games?)

12. August 2003, 03:08:12
coan.net 
Wait a minute - what buckwheat said is true - many games were put back on the board that were already played - so it is possible the 8 games I timed out on had been played, but reset?

I just notice that tournament that I already started are now BACK in the tournament list waiting for players - and new tournaments that I created are gone! Seems like they had to do a restore of the database or something and a lot of "older" data got put back! Hopefully Fencer will be on soon to explain some of this!

12. August 2003, 03:04:44
coan.net 
eddit spaghetti: yea, 2 of the games were mine! (out of 8 total I timed out on by less then 1 hour)

The site seems to be running really good when you are able to get on - I had a problem getting on the site last night to play games (and with a new job that started today) - So I'll only be able to play during certain hours during the week - and if the server is down during that time... UGH! (hopefully Fencer will reinstate my games - all 8 Battleboat games which droped my rating from 1st to ... well, not 1st anymore) :-)

i thought the problems couldn't get worse but i guess i was wrong about that...sure gonna be hard to pull off the same moves in games i won with them knowing how i'm gonna move my next few pieces....any chance of finding sundays moves somewhere....eddie's games may have timed out but mine were won by playing....is this site getting worse or is it just the twilight zone i'm stuck in whenever i get here...or try to get here i should say...lol

Emne: Re: how come !!
It has been better for me too. And I have noticed that the times that I actually can't access the site have been for significantly shorter amounts o time. If I try back in a couple minutes, it is usally fine again for me.
On webtv, we don't see the "site is temporarily down" page. Most of the time I get a webtv pop up saying "Brainking.com is to busy to use right now"
But again, I too have noticed a definite improvement. Way to go, Fencer.

Emne: Re: how come !!
I have recently implemented a restart-server-if-deadlock-occurs feature. It was not an easy piece of work and it needs to be finetuned. The application server restart is actually very fast - it takes only 5-10 seconds. But the overall site performance can be lower when the server is starting up. When it happens [the well-known "site is temporarily down" page], it usually helps to wait 10 seconds and reload the page. It works for me perfectly.
Of course, this is only a temporary solution. I want to make more improvements tomorrow or next week.

Emne: Re: how come !!
What I dont understand is why the site is easily accessable to some but not others. For the past 9 days I have not had one single complaint about the site. I play here alot too! I have the site open for some times up to 10 hours (I dont play 10 hours consecutively but I do have the site open that long) I havent had one down time in the last 9 days. But I read that others are having great difficulty accessing the site. Has anyone else but me noticed that site access has improved immensely or is it just me here?

Emne: how come !!
How can some people possibly manage to play at least 1000 games in one day on here beats me. I be lucky if can get on here & stay on long enough to play all my games each day.
Its sometimes so difficult to get on here at times & wonder why I bought membership at times.

Emne: Re: poor sportsmanship
In many many cultures, to resign before the end of a game shows true sportsmanship. The idea is that one recognizes their weakness honestly and honors his opponent by showing that they have been beaten soundly with no hope of winning. Resignation is often seen as a recognition of superior skill. In this age of multi-culturalism, we must think first before we qualify our opponents' actions.

Emne: Re: poor sportsmanship
Bernice. I have resigned a game many times when I knew I was going to lose. Not out of poor sportsman ship but to speed things along. Many players do that. He likly didnt mean to be rude at all. I don't see the need to complete a game especially a long game like 10x10 reversi if I know I have no chance of winning. I resign, say WTG gg or what ever and end the game to get on with other games or start new ones. I never ever thought it was considered poor sportsmanship like conduct

Emne: Re: Fencer :)
<Try to Delete Temporary Internet Files of IE by theai menu: Tools -> Internet Options. After that close all of IE window. If do not help, try to upgrade IE and FIX your windows by Windows Update.
Mainly use latest cumulative patch for IE. I recomend to use all critical patch from Windows Update.

Emne: poor sportsmanship
Im not one for complaining about a win LOL...lets face it i dont win too many.
But when someone resigns, instead of letting me make that final move it just gives me the proverbial SH--TS.
I am an unrated player and HE? had a rating of about 1500...what a crock of c rap...excuse me :( sorry harley

well I don't know what to say.....
I haven't been ablt to access this site since Tuesday afternoon australian time and it is now Friday evening :(
I have ONE game waiting and when i click on it it gives me their (my opponents turn).
I understand Fencer has been having problems as I emailed him direct and he so kindly explained it sort of.
It is hard for someone like me when your times is limited to catch up on games....today I have now been playing 4 hours to get thru backed up games.
I love this site and the people and would wish all the best to Fencer etc :)

If it matters, there is a limit for rooks which is 1000 started games at once. I know it would be very difficult to reach that limit, and i doubt it anyone ever has, but the limit is still there. I think 100 is a little too extreme to limit. If you are going to lower the limit, make it something a little more reasonable like 400 or 500.

Emne: Re: re: limit games
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

8. August 2003, 00:06:34
