Rose: Thanks Rose, I'll try that!

I just tried that and it worked - will it work again from now on?

This is about an idea i have had for awhile,
and here it is in text;
I think that Brainking should have a new sister
site called Brainking Live that allows you
to play fast games of chess and checker
variants. Anywhere from 5 minutes to
1 hour per player per game, it would be
similar to Brainking, but it could have
these features:
1. ratings that are different to Brainking
2. tournaments once a month
3. chat
4. learning centre
5. past games
It could be similar to xymyx.com
which was advertised at Brainking
here
I was hoping that Fencer could do
this one day, it would be hugely
popular, people can then decide
to play at the original Brainking
or the new Brainking Live
I would be interested to hear what
people think of this idea, it sounds
great to me

I asked an avid chess player if he had tried this site, and this was his reply...
***I looked at it. I'm a little wary of Web sites that have casino tie-ins. Last time I played on one I almost never got all gthe adware off my computer.
***

why would he get that impression?

Bernice: If youre not a paying member you get all the ads

Bernice: i have found out why he would think that....I havent looked at the main page since forever, but I just went there as an unpaying customer and "casino" is all over the place........

Ewe: thanks for that....I didnt realise that either LOL....

Bernice: as a paying member you can play advertisement free.
as a free member you usually have to cope with some annoyances like advertisements ..

Hrqls: Yep. Pogo is the same. ... Join the club (pay) and it's ad free.

I am curious about the access code? I just recently see about it in my profile, but I dont remember hearing anything about it before?

Hey, Hrqls, i just brought Fencer of you for $640 on Facebook

He makes a lovely pet

The Castle looks pretty Fencer!

Sorry, running out of Walls to Graffiti

As we are in a Castle, can we have a Wall of the Castle to write on please

Andersp: lol, dont worry, only me

But if you go look at your profile now, last Tab is now a Wall you can write on

I just wanted to write on the Castle wall lol

MadMonkey:  wonderful..i have to go there and write now!!

Just curious if it could be possible to make a place on this site for people wanting to play fast games with a timelimit less than one hour per move/game?


My trouble is that I get involved in games and wait and wait for the other person to make a move. I know this site is a turns based game site, but I am thinking of a site were it will be able to set the time limit for moves to maybe, lets say, more than one minute and less than 60 minutes?

Or a place where we could expect the other player to be "online" through a whole game.... If you understand what I mean?

Bjornalmar: i believe there are some fellowships which are concentrated on that .. i dont know which though
(you need to be a paying member to be able to join fellowships)

there is also a list known as the 'quick players club'
which can be found here : HerculesBeast

but its not exactly what you asked for

Bjornalmar: You can create games with 1h / game (each player has 1h to make all his moves, meaning the game can last up to 2h max - usually less).
If you create games with such settings either one of three things will occur - you find nobody willing to play such games against you; or you find players to play against you but realize that it's not such a good idea to play very fast games on this site; or you find players that play fast just like you want and all goes well.

Good luck with your games

Bjornalmar: You are still able to play a fast game with someone even if the time limits are set for a week or more....

I would look at the quick players club list and find someone online and send them an invite to play a game through to completion.... its probably better to make the time limit a bit longer than an hour though, just in case someone has a problem for some reason, and you dont want to lose because of a time out.


The very best option though is to become a paying member and start so many games that you always have moves to make in some games.

Bjornalmar: if you think you are fast enough then play me :)
ehehehehe

FrancescoLR: I can guarantee: Francsco is VERY FAST! Go, bro...!
Bjorn,my opinion is that you must know the fast players. With those players, any time limit is good! For example, against Francesco, I wouldn't mind to play a "30 days" game, cause I know he would never stay 1 day without moving. That's the point, I think!

Gabriel Almeida: I dont play many games & come here every day so therefore I play very fast too. Games that drag on forever are a total bore in my opinion!

why did my time change over night. Our daylight savings hasnt changed?

Ive had to align my time to Japan, Osaka etc instead of Brisbane.......

 FrancescoLR:

Bernice: Really, our went forward an hour at the weekend

Bernice: Daylight saving time started in Europe, where the BrainKing server is located... so the server time has been adjusted.

pauloaguia: Thanks....ours hasnt been adjusted yet...Qld doesnt have daylight saving but the rest of the country does and it hasnt been altered yet.

Not a personal complaint, as I dont mind at all, and I like the recent updates on this site, but it seems like a lot of "non game playing" stuff for a "game playing" site?

Just so long as I get in on the IPO.... yet it seems to me this place is gearing up for something much bigger than just a turn based game playing site?

Czuch: you noticed also huh?

Bernice: Its hard to miss

Czuch: Are you thinking what I'm thinking

Jim Dandy: Im thinking I am glad I did not buy a lifetime membership, unless it would carry over to any "new" site, and as long as i live for another 60 years too!

But seriously, i think it can only be a good thing for fencer to expand the scope of this site, and i welcome it, I just want a piece of the IPO, thats all!

Czuch: I figured something was up the moment the buds appeared on the castle peaks

I guess it's like the old saying "once we stop moving forward,we begin moving backwards" positve change is good,but that reminds me of another old saying "if it ain't broke,don't fix it"

Jim Dandy: hahahaha........."buds on castle peaks"......flowers for "my princess" more likely...

and yeppers."if it ain't broke, don't fix it"

Snoopy: They should - otherwise you could ignore the whole stairs and be immune to challenges...

Here are the details:
The gameboard has 10 x 10 squares
16 pieces of the normal chess game are used
by both sides
the four centre squares are blocked so no pieces
can go there
all other rules are the same as Cheversi

Servant: thanks for your interest in Cheversi ...
- how would you count fields attacked by pawns ?
in 2 directions or 4 ?
- can they or must (pawns) touch each other ?
- are they placed first or mixed and in any order with the remaining figures ?
***
I think it can be very intersting game ....

1. Is there a place to see someone's public photo albums?

on the Photo albums link, it just shows the last 10 public albums.
on a persons profile, it just shows the last album.

It would be nice to have a link that shows ALL public albums in 1 place - so if someone is boards, they can go and view a lot of pictures without having to go to each profile and such.

2. Is there a way to know if there are comments for certain pictures. It would be nice to have a little (1) next to the preview of a photo if there is 1 comment (or 2, 3, ... etc...) That is it would be nice to know a photo has a comment without having to blow the picture up to full size. (since many of the photo's I can see OK with the small version, but if there is a comment - I might be more interested in seeing what others have said about certain photo's)

3. How about a way to know if someone comments on your photo. Of course if #2 is done, I can just look over my albums quickly to see which ones have comments - but maybe some sort of note like when someone writes on your wall.

4. Plus something I probable won't use, but others might - how about a fellowship photo album. An album that is open to any fellowship member to add photo's to. They BIG BOSS can delete any of them - and the person that uploaded a photo can delete their own.

Just some quick ideas and questions.

coan.net: 1) Not yet. But if you go to the user's profile and click the last album, you'd get a page with the particular user's public albums (more precisely, albums you are allowed to see).

2) That will be done.

3) A notification will show up at your Main Page. At the same place where the wall notifications are.

4) I was already thinking about fellowships walls, so this idea falls to the same category.

Just some quick answers.

I've set my photos for "selected" people and those people can't see me.  :0  I'll bet I missed something  :)

Artful Dodger: What do you mean "those people cannot see me"? Your album is accessible to them if you give them its URL.

Fencer:  Does "Friends only" include all friends or public friends only?

Andersp: All friends.

Artful Dodger: Until the system is improved.

Fencer:  Thanks.  I'm told the link is working fine for people so that's good.  I like the addition.  Thanks for the info.  I'm getting it now.  :) 

Artful Dodger: I was able to see your piccies.. so I guess that it is working.

Just in case you were wondering brainbook.com is already taken but brainfacebook.com and facebrainbook.com are still available.

I need some help with the pictures please?

What format is supported?

Because i have tried several and keep getting 'this file is not supported'
