Mabye it's Y2K, just 4 years too late.

i am sure fencer will sort any that shouldnt of timed out tomorrow :) i know there is a known bug...dont know if this was it?

My tablut rating went up 200 points :) Now if I can just beat Ugh in tablut....

Oh, I guess my 8x8 Bkr didnt drop TOO much.. but more than I'd like! lol..
Stop partying Fencer, and come back online! LOL
j/k my friend!

Well I'm glad I'm not alone.. Thanks..

My halma 8x8 bkr is my baby! lol.. im gonna be bummed if I can't get it back where it was..

I didn't pay attention, I just read the messages when I got home.

yes it was about an hour ago.. or so???

was it at 620pm Eastern zone by any chance? (approximately an hour ago)

i had 8 games where people had timed out too.. some i know about as they are no longer on the site since the crash and they are a 5 game match.. so have a few more to come yet... but others were out of the blue

yep, i timed out on four games which i had at least five days left on as of yesterday, i dropped fencer a note

I suddenly had four games that my opponents timed out in... but I didn't pay attention to the time... it did seem weird though....

I had 36 people time out against me, but I didn't time out with anyone.

Did anyone else suddenly experience some game time outs??? At exactly 6:20pm Eastern U.S. timezone, I timed out against 8 people, and 2 people also timed out against me (at this exact time too)

I KNOW this is a mistake, because the first thing I do when I come to brainking, is sort my game list in order of when it times-out, and I first move on any games with less than 2 days left, before moving on any others..
I know that last night before I went to bed I had tons of time on all my games!
I've already written to Fencer, I just was curious if anyone else experienced this..
I just hope my BKR's can be fixed.. it killed my halma ones!

Last I heard on eddie he was pretty upset about the loss of games in the crash and from what I'm told hes back playing lots of games at GT again., Hopefully he will be back here regularly as hes a fun guy!

I have not heard from him for awhile. I know that he was taking a break from playing games, and resigned many games. Not too long ago (a few weeks I think), I ended up starting a round 2 with him, and he went ahead and resigned those games - so at that time he was still checking in....

Gan ddumuno iechyd a hapusrwydd i chi yn 2004.

I wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year. Please be safe as you ring in 2004. I do not want to lose any good players.

Thank you Fencer Stastny Novy rok

I know by the time i wake up it WILL be New Year...so enjoy it at my expense LOL

Linda: Stastny Novy rok :-)
Or, if your browser can display Czech characters, Šastný Nový rok.

ROFL LongJohn hehe

ANYBODY...Im playing games with a lady here and she has expressed a real worry about Eddie Spaghetti....has anybody heard from him? apparently he was sick at Xmas time and hasnt been heard of since???
Sorry Harley, but Eddie Spaghetti WAS practically BK :)

Cz"HappyNewYear"ech

That is Happy New Year in"side" Czech

Fencer how do I say Happy New Year in Czech

Happy last day of the year and a Happy & Healthy & wonderful New Year

Right now it is very slow but there is 118 people online right now

often loading the boards incomplete for the last 2 weeks, have to "renew" often. For the rest BK is not very slow at the moment

Hey Scarlet Rose!

Happy New Yearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I will catch you all again.. after the 6th of Jan.. I am in the midst of moving.. so just popping on for short breaks every now and again..

be safe this holiday!

oh so true.
Especially with Microsoft products LOL

nothing wasted in a good reboot! cant hurt to clean out the proverbial cobwebs!

so I wasted that reboot for nothing LOL

Slow on my webtv

I thought it was just my PC Long John, keeps going slow then normal again.

I am finding it slow too

I tried spreading it out with spaces, but it wouldnt let me :o(

must be my connection then, thanks

Reboot time

BK FINE HERE

Does anyone else find BK really slow at the moment or is it just me?

Ok..thanks Fencer, seems we were typing at the same time :)

I dont care about BKR..its not relevant anyway since its so easy to cheat. My concern is if Fencer will allow multiple IDs from the same computer now when this "KM crap" fills the DBs.
*sigh*

Andersp: Nobody who is honest should be afraid of anything. There is no problem with more people sharing the same computer. I am preparing a new cheater-hunting system and some changes to the current User Agreement and until it is officially announced, no actions will be taken [except deleting certain users who regually fill my message box with obscene threats].

What if BKR was only counted in tournament play? Or if BKR could be turned off for people with the same IP address?

thanks for the clarification in english! Lol..
think thats sort of what i was saying??

In english that means it's very possbile for 2 people to have the same IP on a cable modem.

If you are on a cable modem, sometimes (depends the company) everyone on the LAN side of the switch will have the same gatway IP and diffent LAN ip's depending if they use the MAC address of the cable modem has a log in or not.

i would think like some other site that if there is a membrship bought by one themn the other should be allowed to play without any problem.. i have my daughter who is also a member, and mainly uses our computer.. sometimes the ones at school too..
I have also had the problem at one site where a frind of mine was using one computer at their house, i was using mine here.. yet we could not get into the same room together to play.. it was saying it was the same IP address.. yet no matter how many times we wrote.. it just wouldnt let us play together.. we have worked out it was to do with our isp and the way we connect !!! so if that happens here there are a lot of us who wont be able to play together.. or something?? as i have NTL broadband as do quite a few others i know too!!!

My question was about the future, i know its possible now. But to renew a membership and then "sorry only one of you can play" wouldnt be so fun.

Me & Katt use the same puter too.
Tho we are frequently accused of being the same person.

not me :)

didnt you allready ask that?

Fencer: Guess you are aware of the "KM crap" with multiple IDs, "broken hearts in cyber love" and so on.
Question: Now when you see how multiple IDs have been misused, do you have any plans to stop those multiple Ids?
In that case, would it stop me and my wife to play from the same computer?
