Pedro Martínez:
Yes thanks rabbit for creating all the ponds. I wish this one never filled up > Save energy: be apathetic.

rabbitoid: OK… thank you for creating the ponds anyway…

I'm going down to a pond per 2 weeks since, from experience, things slow down during summer and ponds have a hard time filling up.

WellyWales: or 200 player Pond!, only 7 needed

Mega-mass pond, 100 players 11 needed

alexlee: my guess would be that she made her bid right before she turned pawn and before you made your bid.
I'm in an eleven day pond right now with a pawn, I hate those because I feel that it would be smarter to wait just in case they decide to renew their membership

coan.net:
Ok, thanks and I will watch and see what happens. I knew she was a pawn with the last move being 1220, thats why I bid 1223 but no one else did so that was kind of weird

alexlee: No way for us "users" to know - Fencer I'm sure has a way to check, but probable easier to just watch the next round and see what happens.

I know it's been suggested to let pawns continue to play once they join as members, but as far as I know - no change has been made.

Vikings:
I am sure in this one Today is the first day of the rest of the mess.
she was a pawn when her last bid was 1220. Next time she had a bid of 1500. I'll just continue to watch for now. I don't suppose there is any way to tell what day someone turned into a pawn?

alexlee: I think she just turned pawn after her last bid, I just noticed her today in 2 of those

Vikings:

Pawn continued to bid in these three?

A WHAM BAMS (Run in the Rain)
A WHAM BAMS (Run around the Pond)

Today is the first day of the rest of the mess.

alexlee: when they change to a pawn, they are not automatically out of the game, rather their last bid will carry on until they fall, or win.

If a member changes to a pawn can they now continue to play if they were already in a pond? If so when did this start and was it posted anywhere? Seems like if a rule changes it should have been posted but if it was I can not find where?

well, there are ponds that'll start in 96 days with >30 players... and most that will start within the next month have enough to start... and i didnt have a brain rook for a while so i'm not in the loop and trying to get more ponds started ;)

Pedro Martínez: me too. Mega-mass pond, 100 players has been waiting for 6 months for 20 more players to start :)

rabbitoid: Yup, agreed… I would just like saeco to show me where those filled-up ponds are…

Pedro Martínez: I had mine start twice weekly, but after a while people stopped signing up. A pond a week seems to be a good compromise.

saeco: since there are a ton of ponds all filled up

Really?

since there are a ton of ponds all filled up, but they will start in 15.30...60 days... i created some new ones that are ready to start in the next days.
2days per move, 16 players max

duh.....cant move with 0 points...my bad

rabbitoid: lol....seriously though...I have a pond I cant move in

Bwild: I do, lately every time I move I get this "Splash" message

anyone having trouble with making pond moves?
I sent an inquiry to our illustrious leader....but he must be busy with bk27.9

Resher: bravo lubinek! move 20 was well calculated.

alexlee: It took me a while to work out what was interesting, but yes, very unusual!

Darn... Splash...

rabbitoid:
I only remember one other one but I don't believe it was yours, it was very long ago. Must be a way to find any, they would have no winner listed?

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

At least not with those I've been setting up.

Please sign up -> 20 :P Ratp , 20 :P Ritd , 20 :P Ritr (Ponds with 2 days per move)

aaru: Half of em would prolly be multinicks

alexlee: Thanks rod03801 and alexlee, I found it.

pedestrian:
The part of the rules Pedro is refering to are the following:

Each individual who plays on BrainKing is asked to use one, and only one, BrainKing account. Multiple accounts created for cheating in tournaments, games, ratings, or to get around bans on boards are prohibited.

NO CHEATING. This includes using outside programs to help play and *losing on purpose for the goal of boosting ratings.* Your account may be banned, and ratings will be removed.

pedestrian: There's a link at the bottom of EVERY page.

Pedro Martínez: I'm sure the user agreement is posted somewhere, but I can't find it. Maybe it's just me, be I think it's best if the rules are made as obvious as possible.

pedestrian: If pawns are allowed in ponds, the rules need to be clarified. For instance, there's nothing in the pond rules about people coordinating their moves and/or playing together as a team.

There is no need to do that. The general rules of the User Agreement clearly prohibit such conduct.

pedestrian: hmmm. Are you saying that I could create a pond, create 15 multinics and win the pond with about 100,000 points left.

But I couldn't do that because I would have to ban myself

Vikings: If pawns are allowed in ponds, the rules need to be clarified. For instance, there's nothing in the pond rules about people coordinating their moves and/or playing together as a team. It would be quite easy to have a few friends sign up as pawns and make helpful moves. And only those who follow this board closely have any idea whether this is allowed or not. 

Bwild: You know what happens when you hold your breath too long...

Vikings: heres me holding my breath!

furbster: originally it was a perk for paying members but I think Fencer has plans to let pawns play (at least on a limited basis) when BK3.0 comes out

aaru: sorry not playing ponds any more
to much of a farce to be real

I think it'd be good if pawns can play, not really sure why they can't!

aaru: not unless pawns are allowed in, at least on a limited basis ( again at Fencer)

rabbitoid: Yes, I know. Would be nice to be back with 100 players Ponds ;)

aaru: That's more than 6 weeks away. Don't worry, they'll fill up :)
