Fencer: If I was to die, and gave my account to my son, and nobody told you, how would you ever really know? Or even if it wasnt a family member, people move all the time, and IP addys change as well, I just dont know how you can enforce it so somebody does not let another use their account?
Czuch Czuckers: He said it was not transferable - what more do you want? Just because you may not be caught does not make it right. Just like people who use computer programs to play Chess or Checkers on here - just because they may get away with it because it is hard to prove, it still makes it against the rules.
Well I can see it now - there is Fencer, our leader floating in a pool on a very nice tropical resort. Just then some idiot user comes along and says "HEY, I have a stupid question" in which drives him a little nuts. Just then he jumps out of the pool and runs into the jungle. While running through the jungle, he watchs out for the snakes and spiders. He soon finds himself in middle of a green swamp with frogs everywhere. He finishes off his dream by shooting all the frogs he can find. ... opps, looks like he hit a monkey also. Opps.
Hi Fencer. Could you please change the color of control black pegs into a red ? Also I would suggest changing one of the "dirty white" peg into a green one ... visibility will improve a lot. Thanks, Andy.
krybulon: Yes, the dirty white one is a bit off putting, green would be good. Control pegs have always been black/white as far as i know and have played. The colours of the code pegs change depending what version of Mastermind you buy
Wow, I wouldnt think that there was such a thing as an idiot user to a web site host??? I wonder if the sponsors and the advertisers think the same thing? Or maybe you are just poking fun at yourself? Maybe I missed the point, but to me it is sad to hear that customer service reps/global moderators would think of anyone as an "idiot user"? I must be just another naive American!
Czuch Czuckers: Sorry I did not make clear that the story was just a joke - something that was suppose to be taken as something funny. I do not believe that, nor do I actually believe that I know what Fencer dreams about - it was something that was suppose to be 100% fake and funny. Next time I will make sure to take extra care in labeling what is just a joke, and what is suppose to be serious for those who can not tell a difference. Again, I apologizes for your confusion in this matter.
Czuch Czuckers: Well a few thought it was funny - can't please everyones since of humor. So again, I apologize for your confusion in this mater.... not sure what more you want me to say.
heavenlyemma: Yes - and I have already said that I will make sure to label things that are not serious - not true - and are meant to be only taken as a joke and funny as such that way when someone can not tell the difference between a joke and serious comments, then hopefully there will not be this confusion in the future. Again, not sure what else I can do other then what I have already said I will do. Apologizing and already saying I will do better in the future - sorry that I'm not fighting anyone over this issue, I've already apologized the best I could. I was wrong in not labeling the joke as such since some users can not tell the difference. I'm sorry - I will do better in the future.
MadMonkey: thanks for response, but for me, not that is good, which always was good, but what is good in particular circumstances. And black control pegs do not work well on a blackish background. Regards, Andy.
Fencer: Im not sure your point? I cant access the smileys and my game pages dont show the dice etc! I have cleared my cache etc, and all the other sites I visit, Im am experiencing no problems, I dont understand how it can not have something to do with the Brainking site itself? Sorry to annoy you!

Fencer: When you get a spare nano-second, could you get the drop box in the game to work with Team Tournaments please. It works fine playing a move and going to a normal Tournament(result page), but it does not work with Team Tournaments/Matches. I guess you already know, but just in case you didnt
Fencer: Thats the only one i use now, but that just takes me to the next game, rather than the Tournament results page, like it does with normal Tournaments. I suppose i could just go to the next game, then click on the Tournament link, but then i may as well just use stay here. Sorry, as it works for normal Tournaments, i though it would be easy to get it to pick the Team ones up as well. Only a thought.......
