rod03801: Same here. I'm just 2 codes away from completing it. I still have a membership until 2021, so no reason to hurry and spend money unless it's to complete the achievement.
Hrqls: Yes, I am/was close to finishing that achievement as well. I was planning on buying another year if the promotion came up. I still have plenty of time on my current membership though. It sort of makes that achievement unachievable if he doesn't bring that back...
Bernice: Yes, sometimes little problems appear, but for myself, each time I had a problem and told it to Fencer, he repaired it very rapidly. I always had an answer to my request. What kind of problems do you have ? I agree with you : if you pay, it must work.
Brian1971: i dont renew to support the site .. i do renew to have fun, i like to have enough games going, playing in a fellowship, and join more than 1 tournament .. i renew for myself :-)
Nonetheless everyone Fencer is not dedicated to the improvement of the site including new features, correcting of problems on the site, etc. He has stated this as much. He also has stated that he does not need the membership fees to make the site profitable. So therefore I decided to not to renew my membership for the new year. Some have renewed, some have not. I believe if you look at the number of paying members trend, it is going downward. I still enjoy playing here, but do not support it as the owner is not supportive of it either anymore. This is just my viewpoint and not looking to start a war here at all.
Bernice: It is called "Bug Tracker" although people tend to report problems at the "Feature Requests" or "Brainking.com" boards, since Fencer has stated that the bug tracker is ignored.
@badgerboy78: The site does have several bugs that have been/are being reported regularly. The proof are all over the place. I have experienced some of them myself, too. I do not say they are critical problems or anything but problems they are.
badgerboy78: whatever. unfortunately I cant find the board where you report "breakages" but I bet there are dozens there....but I will stand corrected if you can prove otherwise.
stargood: No problem. I let my membership lapse in February and with over 600 games started and I am down to 288 games. People try to invite me to games but I cant accept them. So for those of you who keep sending me game invites, please stop as it will be a long time before I can accept any new games as I do not wish to renew my membership.
I signed up for the Open Fevga Championship recently. At that time, there was a message about being careful not to exceed my allowed 20 games as a Brain Pawn. It said for a tournament of this type, I should leave at least 10 open game slots to avoid having the system delete some of my games for being over the limit.
I made sure that I had at least that many slots open when the tournament started. I fact I think I had 11 open slots. Now that all of the tournament games have started, I have a total of 29 games running. Am I in danger of having the system zing me for beng over the limit, or is a Brain Pawn allowed one tournament, even if it gives him over 20 running games?
its solved! i didnt see i had keryo pente selected in my filter, and i didnt expected the filter from a pevious session to be remembered in my current session

badgerboy78: I tend to keep a tab with BrainKing open all the time, and after a while (usually a few weeks) that starts to happen. If I close the tab and open a new one, the problem disappears.

Dear all, yesterday I took my time to answer all of your question. I need to admit that I needed over 4 hours for the answers.... My english is not the best, 'cause only learned autodidact-ed, so I hope I could answer them properly and understandable... have a nice start of the week to all... http://brainking.com/en/Interviews?ht=35
DeaD man WalkiN: yes, 5 points for hitting the last frog + bonus 2 points for winning + 1 point for each frog not found. This is why I play aggressive, because I know I can have 2 misses and still win the game. If you missed a guess, then I can have 3 misses. In the game, there were only 2 possible spots for your frog, so I was able to take an early guess without risk and hopefully win earlier.
"The game ends when all frogs of one player are revealed on the board (no matter if they were shot or guessed). The other player gets a bonus of 2 points and 1 point for each own frog which was not found by the opponent."
DeaD man WalkiN: If I recall correctly, this is the bonus for hitting the last frog. It looks like it exists so that players can risk playing aggressively and still be able to win the game.
