Board for everybody who is interested in BrainKing itself, its structure, features and future.
If you experience connection or speed problems with BrainKing, please visit Host Tracker and check "BrainKing.com" accessibility from various sites around the world. It may answer whether an issue is caused by BrainKing itself or your local network (or ISP provider).
AbigailII: Do you know HTML? If so, grab the code from the settings page and add a game id 103 to it, then select to accept invites for that game. When Fencer adds a new game, this has to be changed again.
If you want, I can give you more detailed instructions in a PM.
gogul: I don't know about Switzerland, but standard german is "Spaß". double s ("Spass") is wrong, only case is when it is written in uppercase letters ("SPASS")
Fencer: somebody who knows my real name can use the action point statistics (which is stored "forever") to gain insight into how often I play games (instead of doing something else, for example). At least that's more related to privacy than some other options you have implemented.
However, I'm not going to argue this any longer; it's your site and you choose what to do; I hope I've said my opinion clear enough so this is my last post on the topic.
combining data from the brains and the paid membership pages:
- I could pay 18 euro for a year brain knight
or
- I pay 18 euro to get 540 brains, 500 of which I use for a year of brain knight and still have 40 brains
emmett: resigning wouldn't even help you. the whole section has to be finished before you can join another tournament. (or you could ask Fencer very nicely, he can free you from the tournament)
harley: As a pawn I only have 5. I haven't used them this year and I'd like to set them now for the christmas holidays, but if it was possible to carry them over I'd rather do that to get 10 days next year.
kondiau: As a pawn you cannot delete games, but you can resign it. If you resign at the beginning you won't lose bkr, but it will be listed in your win/loss statistics. Alternatively you could nicely ask Fencer to delete the game for you.
Fencer: when there are three empty stairs behind the player, he can't challenge anybody, until someone else climbs up. (I don't like the idea of compressing the stairs, if a player is at the top, others will try to reach him, thereby closing the gap.)
wellywales: I have no problem giving out a little bit of personal information. I'm in the age bracket 0 to 120. The statistical extrapolation is left as an exercise to the reader
BTW, I don't care, but I think a lot of pawns will be against the possibility to buy extra vacation days. It would create a problem for the old slow going tournaments.
Are weekend and vacation days calculated according to my time zone or according to the server's time zone? Is the server's time zone visible somewhere?
the boards have been combined, but where are the messages? e.g. one of the backgammon boards had 27 messages and I had planned to read them at some time. Are they gone? The backgammon board doesn't show anything unread for me.
Flake: That's exactly what Sumerian does. (read the next 200 posts, it's all there).
In the case of the tournament, he was invited by the tournament creator (who knew about SMIRF)
He (Sumerian) already said that he always tells people when he plays with them. In the case of the tourney he was invited by EdTrice, so it would be Ed's duty to tell the other participants
