Can someone tell me why everytime i hit return i get a white out?.. Also been having problems the last few days with pages being to long..Thanks...

If a member upgrades from a Bishop / Knight to a Rook, i thought there Rook membership started right away, and any left over of there previous membership was added to the end

Well, surely it should do so they can take advantage of there new membership for Tournaments etc...

MadMonkey: I think it can do either - but I don't think that is setup in the automatic payment process that works for 95% of the users, so the person might need to let Fencer know what they want to do and have him manually fix it.

Sorry my bad, wrong board.. Thanks, Rod... :)

coan.net: When I switched from Knight to Rook, I became a Rook right away and the rest of my Knight membership was added (one Rook month for two Knight months if I remember that correctly) without me having to ask Fencer for it, so I always thought that it is part of the automatic processing.

But now I am not even sure that my payment was processed automatically

MadMonkey: Maybe the Manual processing option was selected.

coan.net: Transfered from Fellowship board lol

That remove member from Team option we were talking about. I have just come across one Team that i do not have it on

Marfitalu: I know, so do i on MOST my Teams, but not all

Welly, was looking for a way to remove players from a Team, so i showed him the Remove member option.
He said he did not have it, then coan.net said he did not either.
It sort of escalated from there, some have it and some do not, BUT now Team i have found one (maybe more) that i do not have it on

Odd but i can not see any difference or reason as to why it is there or it is not. I thought it maybe a Team Captain thing, but i have it in ones i am a Captain of and also those i am not

I think Fencer will have to let us know what make it appear or not

Other thought i guess, it could be an option that should always be there for Captains & BB's BUT could be a bug causing it to act irrationally (thats a good word for a Saturday lol)

MadMonkey: Has anyone put it into a bug report yet?

Eriisa: I dont know, if Welly had not asked how to do it, i would never have mentioned it
Is it a bug ? I guess it must be

Marfitualu: you have lost me, my Computer is fine

MadMonkey: http://brainking.com/en/ReadBug?bgi=1321

yep, here it is!

MadMonkey: Yes! thanks, I have now reported it, I must stress it is not from my fellowship I wish to remove a team member, but another fellowship I am captain in......... but! I don't have the option in my fellowship either

MadMonkey: Here is a thought - the team tournaments may be impacting your situation - i dont know if the team in question is signed up for the team tournament or not - but i know that i looked at a couple teams i am member of to see if i could discover anything.

The teams that i am on that are not signed up for any of the coming team tournaments - those ones i can leave if i wanted to

the teams that are signed up and i have been selected to play... those team i cannot leave. Im guessing i cant leave until the tournament starts - that way - i cant sign up and get registered to play on one team and then do the same for another team.

the reason you might not be able to remove the member is that the team may be signed up - if thats the case - you will probably have to remove the team from the tournament first - then remove the member - select a new set of 8 - then sign up again....

i would ask any captain of a team that is signed up look at their teams and see if thats the case - im guessing they cant remove someone if the team is registered....

redfrog: Good catch - I think that is it. For example, I look at regular battleboats - I can remove a player - but in Battleboat Plus where I already have a team signed up, I don't have that option any more.

coan.net: I had to take my team out because one person wanted off the team to play in another. I already had us in Fencers tourney. Only the Captain can do it. It is where you sign up for the tourney. Then we had to wait to enter again until I found another player.

redfrog: Yes! that is it , managed to do it now ... thanks

there is a sad person on this site, who do evrything to become number one........he plays against another and that one resigns after a 1 or 2 moves, so he wins and now he is almost number 1. and he can say i'm the best, very sad

redfrog: Great , you found the reason

BUT

I still think there is a bug in the system

I dropped out of my Frog Finder Team as we had too many player and the Team has been entered.

Now, i can still remove players from the Team, well the option is there anyway, i have not tried as i do not want the poor system to break

So it seems, it will only take the option away from a Boss or Captain IF they are in the selected Team Tournament.

So Monkey verdict = Bug

MadMonkey: you can still remove a member from a team that is signed up for the team tournament? or a fellowship challenge....

redfrog: Well, the option is there for me to if i am not entered for that Team, so i guess i can.

If i can find a Team member online i will try it out

redfrog: Well i just tried to remove lovelysharon & joshi tm from the Ludo Team that has already been entered, and good news it would not let me

So it looks like the option just appears, BUT will not actually let you remove players from a Team that has been entered.

It will let me remove players that are signed for the Team BUT NOT entered in a Tournament though.

So we have a bit of a mix, just because the Captain or Boss is on a Team the option should really be there all the time so anyone not entered in a Team Tournament can be removed, so it is a bug still i think lol

At least we know why its sometimes there & sometimes not

Fencer, I'm curious, when was the last time there was no one at Brainking? (Not meaning times when there was a problem with the site, of course.)

I'm guessing it was sometime in 2003.

Just wondered if that was a statistic you had.

lambudai: please send this message to fencer, he can look into it a bit further and take action if needed

lets not start a whole series of posts about this ;)

A funny thing just happened in a game of Logik
My opponent just solved my code (luck i think lol), but looking at the game, we find that both our codes were the same.
Now i used Random to pick my code, yet currylms set hers herself..................how mad is that to both end up with the same code in the same game

MadMonkey: I've had it happen once as well!

Rose: Its crazy, wish i had a bet on that

32,768 possible codes, but to actually use them in the same game is crazy

lambudai: the one he is playing against is the same person, so he plays with two identities

MadMonkey: The statistical odds of the code being the same are 1/ 32768 since the actual code does not matter. It is a statistical oddity, but should happen occasionally.

lambudai: We understand that, which is why we suggested to send a PM to Fencer, so he (as owner of the site) can handle it.

gambler104: Agreed

I just find if funny though on a site like this, when you think how many Logik games have been played.
We know of 2 games (the one i mentioned & Roses one) that had identical codes, BUT thats only the people who noticed. I have to confess if my opponent had not told me i would not of noticed

What happens to the days that are left from my previous membership if i purchace another? I've been here for few weeks now and i've liked the site a lot. So i bought the bishop membership. I think i'd like to play even more games! But if i buy the rook membership, what happens to the rest of my bishop period? I know its only 2 euros and i've spent almost a week out of that.. But i'd still like to know how it goes if and when i upgrade my membership.

puupia: I believe Fencer adds the equivalent on to to your rook membership. Probably would amount to a couple of weeks.

gambler104: When I upgraded to a Rook membership, half of my remaining Knight time was added to my Rook. So it would be circa one and a half week - minus the time of processing the order maybe it will be a week.

Fencer:  How long do you estimate it will take til you buy the new server?  You know this is getting rather annoying.

Andersp: What are you talking about?

Andersp: What ever did happen with that new server anyway??? I seem to recall a push a year or two ago for people to purchase more tee shirts etc, all to help out Fencer to buy a new server? I thought it must have been bought already, but I guess more money is still needed? Maybe another black rook sale will do the trick?

Family Man: I had hoped that Fencer should give us some info about his server(-s) but he seems to hide his head in the sand and answer: "What are you talking about" instead.

ok guys, play nice now...enough and back on topic please..thanks

Fencer, I notice that the BKRs for teams in the site Team Tournaments are still the average BKRs of all the members of the teams.

Is that what you intended? I just wondered, now that teams do get BKRs from team vs. team challenges.

Personally, I think I'd like the site Team Tournaments to reflect the same BKR as the team vs. team ones.

rod03801: I have no idea. I have to look at the code.

Fencer: is it just me or have you not written anything in your blog since August 10th?

Backgammon (heavenlyemma vs. bouncer) is bugged and I'm running low on time to take my move. Could you fix it please.

And yes, I did report it on bug tracker.

heavenlyemma: you don't think that that is a fair handicap?

Vikings: Ha ha very funny.

Eriisa: I extended my membership in the end as you suggested, but only by 6 months as things are tight right now, and did not get any vacation days

So i guess you only get them if you purchase a year, maybe that should be looked at

So i still request we be able to purchase a certain amount of vacation days a year

I could not go to a funeral last week, as it was away from here and i would of had to stay over and did not know if i would be able to get back in time. Luckily it was a family friend and not family which would of been a must, but it still would of been nice to attend.

This could crop up for weddings, hospital things etc.. etc..

can someone purchase brains for other ppl without them knowing
the reason i ask is ive just found ive got 200 extra brains and ive no idea where they have come from

"Snoopy": It happened to me once and it took me some time to understand that a team I was in had just won a prize team tournament.

"Snoopy": If you click on Brains on your Profile it should go to the Brains history page... that might help you.

pauloaguia: In my case it said "Brains order"

pauloaguia:
yes it says brain order on mine to
