i want to know what new things will u be adding into brainking in the near fututure?

See, missed a rule.. lol sorry to disturb you, Fencer :o)

Hi Radiant,
the reason is that your opponent's BKR is very low, compared to yours. Please read the FAQ page.

Hi Fencer :-)

Unfortunately my opponent ran out of time in Game ID: 123222.. so I won the game.. but my rating stayed the same, as it was before.. Is this normal when your opponent run out of time? Did I miss some change in the rules? I must admit that i don´t have much time left to read the boards thoroughly ;o)

but in case my rating should increase, could you please upgrade my rating; before I won my rating was 1887 - as you can see, its still the same....

Thanks and have a blessed weekend,
~*Radiant*~

Anonymously.

Does a rollgenerator@brainking.com 'know' to which game it delivers or,
are the rolls 'purchased' anonymously by a separate messenger-program ? ~*~

Ok Thank you Thought maybe I missed it

linjon: Not yet.

Ok, thanks for your help Fencer :-D

Is there a way to hide game notations? If it's in settings, I missed it.Thanx

2700.
When you reach it, nothing happens. But you cannot cross it :-)

Is there a maximum rating here at BK? If so what is it? Also what happens when you reach it?

Hope someone can help,

Cheers,

M4tt :)

Thank god for that, thought I was going madder ;o) LOL

It's not just you Steve :)

Thanks Fencer! :o)

Is it just me, or are we having to repeat some moves today ever so often, just the odd game though?

I've deleted too many messages this morning to message everyone individually. I realise some weren't offensive, but any and all posts concerning tonyhawk have been removed and I would appreciate it very much, if he posts again, that nobody reply. He has been warned and the next post he makes about unbeatable king will lead to him being banned also. Thanks :o)

Nope, it's based on when your opponent's last move was - so the game that has been your turn for the longest will show up next.

Thanks for the reply, BBW. :) Is that regardless of 'time left for move' on the games?

The order is in the order that the other person played the game. So the "oldest" game in the list will be first to be played.

It is on the list to be able to sort the "next game" in other ways, but nothing will probable happen until there is a new server here.

What order do the games default to when you choose 'next game' from the drop-down? It would be nice if it when by the chosen order of your main page list. :)

If you could drop a note to my personal message box, I would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

Lyth

tony, I'm sorry but you have been ofered help and advice from lots of people on this subject. If you like, send me a private message and I will try to help further. But posting here will do no more good. I will have to start deleting any messages about this now.

look guys everything u said was fake this guy picks a user out of the hat and sends iyt ads/spam

*melt* but psst - couldn't I rent that effect for personal use ? :D ~*~

Invisible BK daemon ;-)

ahhhhh - much better ...
whoever fixed it, Fencer/Liquid or Father Random, thanks ... :) ~*~

g=192742

somebody please look at this game and tell me I don't hallucinate ...

try two moves back and forth on ... hyelp ! ~*~

Oops. I'll do it later today. Please give me several hours :-)

Fencer could you please end this game! I've tried to. I've moved a piece out and then back in and yet it still continues to play though I've already won it twice. LOL Thanks!!!

Crissie :o)

Thank you Harley.
I am trying to be as patient with any user as possible but sometimes it isn't possible at all.

I sent tonyhawk a few private messages about this, advising him of his options.
Then, as Kev said, 'unbeatable king' began posting here. To cut a long story short he is now the first person to be banned from this board :o(

I've already told this guy what to do [yesterday]. His response is still the same, about leaving BrainKing. Well, there is not much else to say to a person who sends complaints to all sides 16 hours after registering his BK account.

Well, i was online when tonyhawk's first post was made (the one about unbeatableking bothering him) and what happened was it was first posted with a different user name (i don't remember what). Then, i went on to another db, and saw another new post on this board. The first one was gone, and the exact same post was made with the userid unbeatableking (yes, himself complaining about himself bothering him! lol). Then again, another new post and it was again the exact same post, this time by tonyhawk2004 (the one currently there).

how did you manage to find someone to bother you in such a short time? just curious.

tonyhawk2004: You could just change your name and then don't talk to the person who is bothering you. If the other person does not know your name here, then he could not contact you here.

Just a thought...

look harely i can't put him in my enemies list then he'll find a way to keep bothering me just suspend him or warn him in a message okay!!!!

With freedom comes responsibility, it is a fact no matter how many would try to dispute it. One has total freedom to step off the cliff, yet it is not always the most responsible thing to do, especially if there is a stair down. Truthfully, being rather new to backgammon, I was not aware of some of the rules, and the bugs that can be caused by software logic problems. If I have violated this rule (or any for that matter), please forgive my ignorance and point it out to me, I will happily reform my manner of play.

tonyhawk I can't suspend anyone from using the site. If he's bothering you put him on your 'enemies' list and he will not be able to message you or send you an invite to a game, or even see that you are online.

as u know i reported on a guy callled unbeatableking and because of him i'll have to leave brainking if i stay he'll keep bothering me about IYT if u him tell him i'l leaving because of him if u want to help me get him suspended just go report him to harely and harely plz suspend that guy or lse ii'm leaving brainking!!!

the brainking rules of backgammon are readable. and even if the
bk-logic would allow violating them, I'd surely not consider doing so.

but the questionable exception-rule is not written down, instead
only hoovering in somebody's assumption which seems odd here
where I live ... (to correct other assumptions met) - details about
(as repeatedly pointed) cAn be viewed at the backgammon board ... ~*~

Just what I was about to say rod! Thanks :o)
It is really a subject for the backgammon discussion board.

I agree completely, Pyloric Valve. As I'm sure MOST backgammon lovers do too.

I DO see Danoschek's point, that technically HERE, it is not cheating.
But it is NOT the universally accepted version of backgammon. PERIOD.
I'm sure that since a majority of backgammon players here would prefer the universally accepted rules to be implement here, I'm sure Fencer will at some point do this. He is a busy man!
I have often wondered if he would consider putting the game back a move if both parties agreed that would be the fair thing to do. (Maybe they weren't aware of the rule, and if you mention it to them, they agree to it).. Just a thought.

here we have different rules, some even insist you cAn not put
more than 5 stones onto a single tacken and call that professional ...

it's a manner of agreement period.

for me people not respecting my free choice which die to use as first are
basically alogic - but I don't oppress and call them clueless or (ugh) amoralic ...

as for monopoly, to have adjustable rules should be possible, big deal ! ~*~

This discussion has veered into a very deep philosophical discussion on the nature of cheating the importance of rules. Let me be clear. Whether or not there is a glitch in the software, it is cheating by any definition to take advantage of a mistake. Period. There are no ways aroudn it unless you cheat and you require justification. There is now way in which you can call a game backgammon and not play both die every turn. That is the fundamental nature of backgammon. I defy anyone to find such a rule for backgammon anywhere that it is played seriously. As such, whether it is possible to lpay without using both die IS COMPLETELY BESIDE THE POINT. It's possible to shoot each other, that doesn't mean that isn't illegal. Possibility is never a justification for doing the wrong thing. I challenge every player on the site to never use a bug to their advantage. It not only tarnishes your reputation but it makes you an awful player because you have not learned to play backgammon and as such makes you worse than someone trying hard to do the right thing even though they may be tempted to cheat.

California man, the matter here isn't really one of backgammon, but rather rules, software, and sportmanship.

I have to agree with you. I checked the posted rules on backgammon here on this site, and there is no mention of the deviation from the game what one would expect to play as backgammon.

In fairness, the one-die deviation should be posted in the on-site backgammon rules until the game deviation is fixed, if ever. It took IYT awhile to get their backgammon software up to snuff. BK is a young site; I'm sure it will take awhile for everything to get worked out here.

Since the software allows for only one die to be played when bearing off, it's not really cheating when one exercises that option, but it is not very sporting. I personally would never exercise that option.

For the short period that BK has been online, Fencer & company have done an outstanding job. We just need to be patient for perfection. :-)

btw, you do have the highest backgammon rating at BK, so expect some unsportsmanship from those who can not defeat you otherwise, and just don't play them anymore in social games. Some people just don't take losing well.

Congrats on your outstanding backgammon BKR.

peace
