Czuch Czuckers: Shortly, it is the only way to be fair to everyone. There was a bug and it must have been fixed. Now the system is more accurate and you should thank Luisifer he's found the bug during the first day, not after two weeks.
Anyway, it's just an monthly action. If you don't like it, wait for the August one.

Is there any way to figure out your action points if you are not in the top 50?

Subject: points system

I'm a bit dense sometimes..sorry,lol...for the boards..we get points everytime we click on to read or just once a day or what? I play games,them come check the boards (some move very fast and if I don't do that I have to read through well over 100 comments to get caught back up)

Subject: Pawns

What is this case for pawns who have many games. Some have over 100 because they used to be rooks.

Not that I want to throw another wrench in the system, but what happens if I open up 20 different windows on different boards? Does this mean I accumulate points 20 times faster then everybody else?

1. July 2006, 23:55:24

nope, you get 2 points for one visit to each board an hour. If you go there 200 times, you still only get 2 points.

1. July 2006, 23:55:33

Subject: Re:

pawnme:I think this means EXACTLY that!

1. July 2006, 23:57:16

Subject: Re:

gambler104:I think he means different boards. Instead of going to them one by one, going to all of them at once. By putting the refresh time on one hour and opening all the boards in different tabs or windows, you can be real fast!

2. July 2006, 00:00:47

Subject: Re:

King Reza: true, but not all boards get updated each hour, and it takes five or ten minutes max to go through them.

2. July 2006, 00:02:10

Subject: Re:

gambler104:Agreed!

2. July 2006, 00:08:00

but, does it still go by reading "new messages" or just spending time (one houre) looking at each board? Like I said, it wouldn't be difficult to open up every discussion board in different windows and walk away from my computer for an hour or two.

2. July 2006, 00:08:35

doesnt realy matter how fast u r couse any one can go through all the boards in less then an hour so u dont need a window open for them all

2. July 2006, 00:11:59

Subject: Re:

deadbunnysRfun: This is true, but... if you keep all the windows open lets say for a month straight, will one achieve max points?

2. July 2006, 00:14:12

Subject: Re:

pawnme: yes, but it will only create a minimal advantage.

2. July 2006, 00:14:29

Subject: Re:

pawnme:Suppsedly yes. I cannot think of another way to get the maximom points. But I still find this kind of acheiving points rather funny!

2. July 2006, 00:26:23

Subject: Re:

King Reza: I agree with that. I would like to see something like: points for moving (as is now) but points for every win and points for a draw and even a point for a completed game (but this may also leave the door open to someone resigning games continuously to acchieve points). As for discussion boards, I understand the motivation to get everyone involved with Brainking, but I don't know if there is a "fair" way to moderate this.

2. July 2006, 00:32:47

Subject: Re:

pawnme: I agree completely. I suggested the point for a win to Fencer and haven't heard back yet. I might like to see a cap on points for discussion boards at 60 for viewing and maybe create something for posting.

I have given up on it already.... it wont be long and someone will open up many new accounts with them getting the credit etc... also, I would have to move more than my maximum moves per day so far for every single day and I still wouldnt get the amount of mover required, and what am I going to do with 200 brains anyway

Fencer: I think there's still a bug. I've acquired 242 board points in the past 30 minutes.

2. July 2006, 01:50:00

Ok, I just ran the test, I left multiple boards open for over an hour and I did not receive extra points, so this modified system is definately better.
