Bernice: Check the original account.

(V):And for a pawn at that.  Has someone found a way to hack the vacation days?

alanback: The probability looks quite high, though I'm not discounting totally other reasons. But that Fencer banned the person it suggests 'not a bug', so I guess it was a hack or something of the like.

And to point out another anomaly resulting from trying to fit the backgammon peg into the chess hole ... consider this display of the score in a tournament final round:

Top 50 Backgammon Race (Invitational)

What would you guess is the score of this 11 point final match?

If you guessed 4-3, you are wrong ... the score is 8-4.

alanback: That's because you used the doubling cube.

edit: Sorry, I see what you mean now.

alanback: So that is more of just a display issue - since the site was "built" with 1 point for win, 1/2 point for tie, 0 points for lose.

Probable needs to be changed for when the double cube is used, instead of "1" - it needs to be how many points was won.

somebody_1:
It's me again.

Please - PLEASE - **PLEASE**

I ask for information and I'm banned again???? I don't think I've been impolite, if there have been misunderstandings please be aware of that English is not my native language.

Please don't ban me again, or unban the other user, and talk to me.

Re vacation days:
I didn't hack the system. There's a bug. If you set vacation days for the next year, the counter is not updated.
Check my vacation days now to see the effect.
That way it's possible to set the whole next year as vacation, and when the year changes these stay.

I've done a few things that are on the borderline of being legal, e.g. the vacation days thing.
I'm not sure it's appropriate to discuss these things in public, all I ask for is to talk to me (privately) and clarify things.

BTW, as the other accounts are banned, I cannot access the message box. If you want to talk to me, send e-mail. Fencer, if anybody wants to contact me in this case, please give them my e-mail address (the one from the user 74364) (I don't want to make the e-mail address public).

new_user: Nobody wants to talk to you. The rules are clear and the accounts will remain banned. If you want to play here, create only ONE account, try not to break rules and stop whining on public boards. That's my only response to this "case".

Fencer, I did no see any mention of fellowships in regards to poker games. Is there going to be a way to have poker tables only for members of a fellowship, created by the big boss?

Czuch: Yes. But it is not supported yet.

Fencer:well...you most certainly have my support!!

Bwild: I have a new fellowship.... called Poker Aces, beats Kings every time


ohhh, to keep it on topic, maybe inter fellowship poker tournaments as well?

JPS posted on the portuguese board about having lost with a flush to a pair last night
BrainKing.pt (JPS, 2009-03-05 23:23:49) (I don't know the details of when exactly, you can ask him if you need any).

Since the announcement was made that all bugs were corrected and the official version will be released next week, I'm asking if those bugs should have occurred or will only be corrected next week?

pauloaguia: I don't see any useful details at that post, so it is really hard to investigate, but I am sure that flushes were tested many times and there is no problem with it. Perhaps JPS could add more information (table ID, round number etc.) next time, instead of loads of questions marks.

Fencer: I forwarded your request, but I wasn't asking for a fix (yet).
I was trying to determine if the version currently available is supposed to be free from most of those bugs or if that version will only be made online next week and it's possible to find some bugs now that are already corrected for that version...

And I only posted it on a public board because I'm sure other people are interested in the answer to this question too...

pauloaguia: I see. Yes, the current version is supposed to be free from most bugs. But, of course, it is possible to find new bugs even after the official release. However, I am sure that the algorithm to determine the winner is correct and bug free.

pauloaguia: was it at a no limit table?

Czuch: Yes, he said the table was no limit 500, 5/10 and it happened sometime between 21:00 and 21:30 (22:00 - 22:30, server time)

pauloaguia: Such table does not exist. An URL would be better.

pauloaguia: Well, I have sometime found that some people do not understand how the payouts of a hand are worked in no limit tables, especially after an all in.


I have seen people think they have lost because it said someone else with a lessor hand had won more money than they did... but the reality is that they had simply bet a lot less than this other person, and even though the other person lost, they still appeared to have won more than the person who did win, but the reality is they had just won a lot of their won money back..... it is not possible to win more than you start a hand with, times the number of people who call.


In simple terms... if you have $5 and I have $100, and we both go all in and you win, it will show you to have won $10 and me to have won $95, thats like ley what happened...

Czuch: thank you. I'll relay that info for him.

Czuch: Right, that could be it. I think that I will add a new entry to FAQ page.

new_user: zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Fencer, there are many people absent from the list of top money winners in poker right now, including yourself?

Czuch: That will be self-fixed on Monday.

OK, I'm having all kinds of problems today.  In fact, I don't think I've ever had problems like this.  Slow loading etc.  Is it me?  :)  

Artful Dodger: Me too....

Me too (last hour)

Czuch:I haven't had my coffee yet and I'm always slow to load when that happens :)

me too

Artful Dodger: No problems here.

Pedro Martínez: That does it, I'm moving overseas

Artful Dodger: Its our governments secret plan to make us so upset with the internet that we stop using computers and wont be able to research their cover up of 9/11

Czuch: Well, it seems to be working better now. Must be the nasty weather.

Artful Dodger: I couldnt get mine to load about 1/2 hour ago but it is alright now :)

Bernice: Some of my games won't load. I may go through withdrawl!

The US changed time an hour forward this past weekend out of daylight savings, does Europe do the same thing sometime soon?

nodnarbo: Yes. Europe has changes in the last weekend of March for quite a number of years. It didn't follow the recent USA fad to change to "summer time" while it's still winter.

anyone have problems when they go to use a smilie from a fellowship
it allow you to copy the code but wont allow you to paste it onto the board

i only ask cause i was wondering if it was fault at my end r part of the smilie problem that chrome had before

Snoopy: I can't imagine that would have anything to do with Brainking.

I just tried it in The Zoo, and it worked fine.

(I don't use Chrome, I use Firefox)

Snoopy: I was probably editing my post as you were reading it... No, I use Firefox.. So, my guess would be something with copy/paste in Chrome? I don't know about the smiley problem from before. I do remember reading about it here, before, though.

I'm tired of losing to the same people  LOL
I'm here to recruit more brainking users 
Come join us for trivia here   ---->    BrainKing Trivia

Anyone else have a problem with the smiley window ?

I click, but no pop-up , nothing has been changed that i know of.....most odd

MadMonkey: Working fine for me

rod03801: hmmm working fine with Chrome & Safari so cant be my brainking settings............so what has happened to Firefox ?

best get the hammer out and mend it

MadMonkey: I'm using Firefox as well, and it works.

MadMonkey: Have you tried to run it in safe mode? Some of your addons might do funny things with the browser itself.

Fencer: I will give it a try though i have not changed any add-ons recently. Let see......

Fencer: Well i am in Safe Mode and makes no difference, still no smiley pop-up

Well, i do not know, back to normal mode, and smiley pop-up is back.........how weird is that
