[ignores bwildman]

All my posts to the gothic board have been relevent and it requires a considerable degree of paranoia to interpret any as "inflammatory", I have certainly never started a "flame war", yet I have at least once been banned from posting.

BBW: The rules should be fixed.

Ugh, I will not re-post here what you have said in another board.

I will state that, in summary, your participation in the Gothic Chess discussions is punctuated by very long absences, returning only to engage in some "battle" that does not concern you.

What is so curious is that you have not played a single game of Gothic Chess, yet you make it your business to throw negative comments my way at every turn as soon as some precipitation of an argument starts to condense.

Your interest is then, therefore, by definition, purely belligerent.

As this is not the venue for this discussion as it did not involve nor impact BrainKing.com, I will leave off here.

I think all of you "martyrs" should petition Fencer via message rather than drone on incessantly about your own personal tragedy.

This isn't a "discussion", I'm pointing out on the Brainking board a matter of concern to both members and management ie that one of their moderators is a loony.

And you are a pissant.

I have banned GothicInventor from this board.
Everybody else who will try to continue in this flamewar will be banned too.

Thanks Fencer. This kind stuff shouldnt be on the main boards.

During this period of game time suspension, is it possible to resign a game that the opponent has already "lost" on time?

You can resign a game anytime. Even if it's not your turn to move.

Thanks. When you say anytime does that include after I've won?

If you resign, that will mean you lose.

No one has timed out because time is currently turned off.

Okay, I've checked a finished game from my profile and there was no option to resign. However if for whatever reason I felt the result was unjustified and wanted to make a post dated resignation, would you accommodate such a request?

But I can not resign,if I have offered "Draw" and my opponen doesn`t answer,until his next move! But he doesn`t move. :(

Thanks, I get the picture just fuzzy on the technicalities.

If someone times out in a chess game in which the opponent only has a king left, is that recorded as a loss or a draw for him/her?

A time out is a lose no matter how close they are to a win.

Normally, in OTB, it is draw !

I'm sorry.

I use Internet Explorer. This never happened before, but now every time I open a new page at BK I get a script error message. It does not matter whether I respond yes, no, or X, the damn thing keeps popping up. Why is this happening? It is not occurring on any other web site.

HELP!!
They're bullying me in the boiler room. My ankles tied to the pipes, rock-wool in my mouth, is there no respect?

LMAO@Ughaibu

flutter your eyes a little mor Ughaibu ;oÞ

I'm frightened of the girls in there. . . .

Ahem... sorry to interrupt, but *off topic*!!

You are one of the "girls", so . . . . . .

Have u cleaned out your cookie and temp files. That may help. But I'm not sure as to my put skills r not that good. But give that a try. I have to do that from time to time for the zone.
:o{P

I gotta tell ya folks...I'm a happy camper!!

Is there a eugenic agenda behind the photos?

Can someone explain how I offer a draw, please.

Thanks, mrloupcity, for a reply. Yes, I had tried clearing out all the cookies, and then came back here and got the same problem. Another check of temp files reveals that almost same operating cookies had been reloaded, so I figured it had something to do with the ads here.

It's manageable, but a real nuisance. I have to hit an extra keystroke to open each page!?

try the computor board .

Pioneer54 - I know I've had a problem like that before (not on this site, but elsewhere), and I've been trying to remember what I did to stop getting those messages.

Try to go to Tools, choose Internet Options

Click the "Advanced" tab

The 4th & 5th option under browsing is about displaying script errors - UNCHECK both of those boxes and see if you still get those error messages. (Note: depending on version of IE you are using, will depend if the instructions above are exact or not.) :-)

eeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrr it mentions KM's who would be insane enough to be one of them......ohhhhh maybe myself was on that list ;oÞ
and 2 CS reps ..well at the time 3 were reps LOL

The Grenada flag does not work, just get the red cross

Who is from Grenada here?

I am playing in a 21 day limit tournament (stupid to begin with) But there are games with 40 something days left before time runs out. How does this happen?

add weekends on over that amount and it could be about right . also that player might have holidays added to the amount .

Grenada should be fixed.

It is :o)

Yikes!!!

So one game with a 21 day limit and 30 moves could take 6 1/2 years?????

Does anyone really need that much time to play a game??

Can one of the 'slow' players out there please explain to me why you would want to play a 6 1/2 year game? I know Kevin said that his opinion is that what ever the game limit is, is what you should expect from him to move.... although it is a shame that he will comit to a specific time limit game, and then not move or resign within that specified time frame....

I win and only goes up 1 point. The loser goes down 8 points. Can someone explain the ratings for me?

those extra points that go missing end up on ebay lolol

IMupChucKing: Calculate yourself.

Thanks Fencer.... Its clear now :)

Does the time start on next Saturday again,Fencer?

This Saturday. A day after tomorrow.

When I go to someone's profile and click 'show games with me only' it's not doing it.. is this just a bug to be fixed please ?
