Fencer: Have you decided on a set design for the t-shirt like when you had the poll about it or have you a new one ?
That would be great, to have your Username on it as well, guess we could get that printed on after though if we wanted it.
(MadMonkey on the back with a giant Ape ROFL).
Fencer - You should include some "specials" with the shirts - that is have "bundle" packs that include a shirt, and membership. (For example - 20EUR for a shirt, or 40EUR for a shirt & year rook membership/membership extension) - or something like that.
fencer one thing you may try doing is having the designed saved on a disk and sent to one of the customer service people over here (in the US) and let them have them printed up. If not it's going to kill you on shipping them the US.
Lenka wants me to release the BrainKing T-shirt shop as soon as possible. I would like to do it after BK 2.0 is out. Well, well, what should I do? :-) Since there is a significant number of people who already want to own the T-shirt, I will release the "shop" soon. Very soon.
in anger yesterday at a certain person i put FTW behind my name....after 24 hours and having slightly cooled down I went in to try and take it back to plain old Bernice (enuff of the old ) hehehehe
If BK2 starts up Saturday that meens tournaments will be started by the computer, Does anyone know if the tournaments that we signed up for already that start after Saturday will still happen or will they just never happen.
.....On Checkers board, but because the wrong person was made moderator there for some stupid reason..I cant post due to being banned from there grrrrrrrrrrr
Right now Summertop, managers can't do that much. They can request tournaments to be started (this is purely in HOME, other fellowships might work differently) and get people motivated to joining their team(s).
Eventually they will be able to remove people from their team if they wish, start their own internal tourneys and have a lot more control of tournaments with other fellowships etc. Thats my understanding anyway, although it won't happen immediately BK2 is launched. Thats in the future :O)
Teema: 44 timed out games due to many days of no webtv access.
To my fellow players:
My apologies for timed out games. I'm hoping to have the games reinstated as soon as possible and with Fencer's help. My webtv sure wasn't very "user friendly" for many days.
I'll be here till the end. Hope thats not this comming week-end, LOL. Just kidding, I'm sure we can survive, It just gets on your nerves when you want to play your games and can't.
I have a little bit of an "in" with WebTV.. (Not MUCH of one,lol, I'm not trying to brag) And I'm going to try and find out if something has changed with the proxy server in the last 2 weeks. It has to be something that has CHANGED, because WebTV users were always able to access Brainking at the same time as the computer users, every time brainking has come back up.
It seems as though both weekends, it has been somewhere between 24 and 48 hours later, before we could access the site.. Whatever I find out, I will of course pass on to Fencer..
Wish me luck! :-D
All you other webtv users out there, please don't abandon brainking because of this.. Fencer wants to solve this as much as we do, I'm sure!!!
I can't promise I'm going to find anything out, but I'm going to try..
There must be something strange in WebTV proxy server system. Maybe they have different caching and accessing policies for European sites? Because all other mentioned sites [IYT, GT] are American ones.
Of course, we could create a fail-safe system which shows our site always up and running even if one or more of the machines are temporary turned off. However, such system costs money. Lots of money.
