One question:
Do you find it legal and moral to help/support a member of the same team in a tournament, at his games in THIS tournament? What i mean is that i would like the cooperation between members of the same team not to be only that they "share" the wins-draws-loses of the other members, but to be on a higher level of total cooperation by advising and suggesting some ideas or even moves.
Would this be an "illegal thing" or it is acceptable......?
I`ve been trying renew my membership via Moneybookers on 2 different days now (to renew my membership). However, the verification code which they are supposed to send to my mobile phone has never arrived. And therefore I have not been able to activate my account.
What could be the problem? Any ideas? I have already checked that there are no mistakes in the personal info that I gave them.
Subject: Re: What is this for BrainKing Notify and
I have all sources of the BrainKing Notify application so I can confirm it is safe. But, of course, it is not mandatory to download it and in its current status, it is mostly for people who want to help with testing.
how do I know if it's really safe to download from that site. If I can't get the person that made it for BK to make a move in a game. I really don't think at this time I can trust their site to download from. Sorry but that is just the way I feel right now.

Scarlet....in about 14 hours and 15 hours (I think) LJ will be gone off your games list :)
The only problem is that these 96 odd games he had going seem to be not affecting his BKR...His old BKR pre "last break down" was 2307....a few games have already timed out and 2299 was his last BKR...so he isnt being penalised game wise :(
OK drop subject...not my business....was just curious to see how things go during "timeout"
Subject: Re: Okay fencer.. then what could it be??
I ask Fencer about in PM and found out y the games r restarting. It is cause LJ had auto vac set. But Fencer told me that he turned off LJ's auto so that way this time when the time runs out it should not reset. Hope now this will help as to y this was going on.

Kevin: two reasons.. suppose the banned member is allowed to come back.. after about a month of it shuffling between time out and reinstated.. and then he sits there time after time.. playing one move every so often.. Do you think it was fair to hold up the tourney for him??
And secondly: I don't want to even see his name on my list..
I would say there are enough pawns (ex-paying Rooks members who don't seem to want to renew memberships) taking advantage of playing in team tournaments as it is.
I feel sorry for the Knights that are still paying yet can only enter one tournament at a time still.
I'm sure Fencer will allow pawns to form a team tournament. I would guess about 10-15 EUR from each pawn to cover the cost to allow them on the "pawn team" for the backgammon team tournament would cover it - but Fencer would have to give you the exact amount. :-)
Scarlet: Why would you delete it? If your opponent has been banned and it will take a month for it to time out, so what? Like you said: you are a rook and do not have a limited number of games. Just start another to replace it.
Did this site just melt down for a little while, or was it just me?
Everytime I clicked on a link, the page would just 'blink' and come back to where I was. Then I couldn't even get back on for awhile. Seems ok for now :)
Subject: Re: Okay fencer.. then what could it be??
No.. especially since the player was banned from the site.. Thank goodness I am a rook and I am not limited to a certain amount of games..
Okay.. since it is evident that this player put automatic vacations on his profile before he was banned.. what can I do.. just delete the game? and will it affect my ratings if I do? Neither one of us has made a move in either of the games to my knowledge..
I often get those little white boxes in games like Froglet, Battleboats and Amazons etc... but only when using IE.
If i use Firefox or Netscape it is fine. I guess it must be something to do with the cookies/cache even though i have tried clearing everthing out.
I do find Firefox slightly slower than IE, but at least i can see a complete game board and the pieces LOL.
Subject: Re: Okay fencer.. then what could it be??
It is a bit odd to see the time go down in red numbers.. then come back in black with full time.. when actually I should be getting notices that the opponent ran out of time.. :)
I agree with you Walter.. it is so redundant.. and especially if you have an opponent that uses most of his time up in between playes.. I go nuts when I finally get back a backgammon game.. or reversi game where my turn is passed due to no available play.. or even when I can make a move and my opponent can't..
I can't think of one site that I play at other than this one which doesn't do the auto pass. And usually a messages is given automatically to the opponent making them aware of what all happened. :)
