MadMonkey: Its just like having greasmonkey running

I like the new list of tick boxes in settings. Only have a few of them ticked now.
Be nice if the next offline player one worked properly

Hrqls: Yes i am talking about that one, and i know all about it as i set it up as an elimination.
I was thinking about a normal tournament though, if the final was between 2 people and it picks a game one has never played, its bad luck, TRUE i agree. Why not have the option to at least give both players a chance where they could play 3 different games for example.
If the attitude is just bad luck then why have best of more than one in ANY final ?????

Fencer: A bit unfair on the player who ends up in a final and gets a game he has never played before. At least if it was a final of 3 different games he may stand a chance. Oh well vic looks like you will lose

Hrqls: Thanks, nowi know. Think we need an option for the final match to be different Random games if it is more than one.

Marfitalu: I would if i knew that a final of 3 games for example, they would all be different. Would be more fun, thats why if they are all the same i would like to suggest an option to make each game different.

MadMonkey: Does no one know the answer to my question ?

May change my name to blablabla LOL

With out setting up a Tournament to find out.
Does anyone know in a Random tournament what will happen in the final if it is more than one game.
If its first to win 3, would they all be the same Random game or would they be different.
I think it would be nice if they were different(or maybe an option to choose) as i am in the final against someone who had never played the particular game before.
I know it is a choice when we enter, i just think the final could be set different to give both players a chance.

(saying that, watch me lose now lol )

ellieoop: I thought that was just yesterday, didnt bother to try it......not to worry, bedtime anyway

Poor Brainking not well again, it went to sleep for nearly an hour lol

I think you have lost it now , there are green dots so you know they are on line, but never been any envelopes there that i remember.
Where i said, there is and on board like this, quite a few places, but not in the list.

xmas is soon: hmmmm, If you mean your friends list on the top right and the envelopes for sending mail to them, they are there for me.

Rose: LOL i just had a couple of games where my opponents did not even throw dice (well i couldnt see them) but still moved, how odd

Has anyone noticed any disappearing dice. I have just played a few gammon games and in some of them my opponent only had 1 dice. It doesnt effect anything, just seems odd..........

imsoaddicted: It always appears to when something is added or changed.

oh, and when Fencer goes to bed

imsoaddicted: I thought it was the green one, dont remember seeing that one Esperanto

Was it just added about 5 mins ago when the site stopped lol

Brian1971, pauloaguia: I put a post on the Stairs board about the same thing.
I am sure Fencer could write a script that would automatically check all steps and send you a message of available challenges for you(maybe once a week). If you have not made any challenges(after another week) it could either drop you a step, start retiring you or remove from the stairs.
It should only do this if there are players for you to challenge, if not leave you on the step you are on as it is not your fault.

Buz: Yes, it was a match of 2 games.
siddhim won the first & you won the second on a time-out.

So the match is a 1-1 draw

Jason: I just mean, that when you see a red number to indicate a new post/message, you go to have a look to see somone has posted a smiley or a Link, whatever it maybe.
In other words not of interest to them, after a while you dont even bother with the board & like BBW i dont go there much at all. If relevant posts were on relevant boards for that person, they would be more interested in reading the board

Jason: And as i pointed out earlier, i spoke to a number of Pawns about what was offered and none of them had a clue about it.
As BBW just said GC is NOT for Brainking stuff, so why go there, to see a smiley face, i dont think so and neither do alot of people, hence they dont go there, so how do they find out about this Brainking related stuff ?
So really we dont need any other board apart from the Brainking one and the General one as everything can be spoke about on there.
I still think that a board just for Pawns would be nice for them, but Fencer has said no, so its no.
Thats me clarified lol

BIG BAD WOLF: I do agree with most of what you say, but i fail to agree with the General Board aspect, it is too General. Pawns wont find anything out about Brainking by not going to boards, but has just been pointed out by a PAWN, they dont go there, and the reason is quite obvious.

Hrqls: I know they cant, and agree the English is a problem for some.
Being able to read something is different to having an opinion though, Pawns do have them and should be allowed to put theres across.
A lot of people do not read or post on DB's as you know for numerous reasons, even less Pawns.
When a Pawn does mention something it is just pushed to one side, like below, how about listening to what they say.

BIG BAD WOLF: lol,
I agree with pauloaguia who is a Pawn so whose opinion we should take note of. He doesnt read the GC board, and i am sure there a alot that dont (members as well). I think if Pawns had a board where everything there was relevant to them, they would have a place to look for stuff and be kept up to date with things,that would be a good default board.
IMO, If the feeling of Pawns on the site is not taken into account, the chance of getting new members must surely be harmed.

Foxy Lady: They dont know, i havent found one yet that found it without being told. Admitted this sort of situation does not arise often that Members are willing to pay for a Pawn to try out a membership.
I would imagine alot of Pawns dont read the General board(like alot of Members), because thats exactly what it is General. How often do you go the to find someone has just put a smiley or link to another site.
I guess this board would be better in future as at least things here normally relate to Brainking.
I just thought a Pawn board would be good as it would be a place where things relate to them only.

Fencer: Could Pawns have a discussion board, moderated appropriately by who ever. I have spoken to 6 Pawns since last night and not one of them knew about the kind offers of several members to try out the Brain Bishop membership.
I know it is on the General board, but i guess they feel there is nothing of interest there for them so dont look at it (know the feeling lol).
Maybe if there was a Pawn Board they would

Hrqls: Yep, i agree with that totally. Fencer (and Liquid of course) would be the only ones able to move players in/out of Teams for what they deem a valid reason at ant other times.

BIG BAD WOLF: Sounds good.
I prefer #2 idea better like you do.
I also thing there should be an option for players where they can add whether they are available to play a match or not, an active/non-active box they can change on the team sheet. Some players may be going on holiday or not want any more games as you say. This way the Captain would know who to pick from, it would save players leaving and re-joining Teams.

Time is the only issue i was thinking of. At present there are some players who do keep Tournaments running as they do not move till just before there time is up for a move. I can see this irritating some other players who would like to get on with Matches. I think either 3-4 days per move or have 2 sets of Stairs, one Fast & one Slow or use the Fischer's clock to set how long a match should last.

Fencer: This is not really a Feature Request, more of an idea for Brainking Teams playing a bigger part. My first thought was about having a Team Backgammon League, but after talking to a couple of players it could take alot of sorting out. So to a new idea which should be alot easier as i think nearly all the code is already written, it just needs modifying.
How about we have TEAM Backgammon stairs. Backgammon is the obvious choice as most Fellowships have a Team for it, if it works then other Stairs could be introduced. All that we need is Rules set, as in number of players(6 seems good), changing Team players, amount of challenges at one time etc....
There would have to be a good way to check players are not chopping & changing Teams every few days though.
What do you think ?

lol, now enough of that...

WTG Fencer LOL its MadderMonkey lol

Fencer: Did those Error messages have anything to do with it i sent you ?
They happened last night before it stopped and the night before

Marfitalu: You can put the Close Tabs (with the (X) at the end) buttons back to how they were in Firefox 1.5. Look at the Computer board

Fiona: I would Moderate with help, but Links will allways be a chance you take anyway, as they are with the boards we have.
You could have them to your own sites or blogs as you say, or just something that you wish to voice your opinion about.

Personally, i like the blogs, most of them are interesting or informative. Can't we have our own BlogBoard ?

Antje: Yeahhhh all better again

Andersp: Portable Document Format ?
Well i dont know if it Brainkng supports it or not. The ladybug icon seems to show up ok, if that is the last one you uploaded. Well if the username & password is ok, i can think of nothing else. If that is the only thing thats changed i guess it must be that, a bug me feels.
Best email Fencer

Andersp: I am just wondering if the password or username may have become corrupt somehow, although i dont know about that error message.
If you log out, under where you put in your username & password is an email box that will send you your username & a link to change the password. Its the only thing i can think of. Failing that emailing Fencer, but i would imagine he is in bed ny now.

Andersp: I would not of thought that changing the picture would ban you. lol
Have you tried at the logging page sending yourself your password & username by email ? just in case anything has gone wrong there.
I honestly would of thought if there was a problem Fencer would of let you know, so it may be a bug somewhere. Try sending yourself the username & password.

Antje: I dont know, i have looked at your profile and there doesnt seem to be anything wrong.
Has it told you that you are banned ?
According to it you were on this afternoon, were you ?

BIG BAD WOLF: Thats a shame, we could have some real cool ones. Oh well, have to settle for just .gif smileys then. Mind you the new smileys you can get move and talk now lol

I just wondered why .gif file can be uploaded, but dont work.
Will they ever be allowed to work Fencer ?
My poor monkey used to wave lol

hexkid: LOL, i just realised that. Its seems funny when you look at it. Maybe it could be set out different

Fencer: Could you have a look at the Korg Triton (Gaming Palace vs. Blizzards) Match. I am winning 1-0 at the momment, but have a look at games 1909255(i won, shows still playing) and 1909256(is still playing, says i won). The score is right, so its not a major issue, it just tells me i have finished the game i am still playing and vicer versa.....most odd.
So i had a look through the Korg Triton tournament, and it seems to be totaly Random as to which one is says is which LOL. I know it does not SEEM(more of a worry) to effect the result, just seems odd when you finish a game, to go and look there to find out according to the system you are still playing it, but have in fact finished the one you are still playing LOL
The GOOD news is that it seems to be doing it in all TEAM tournaments, so that may help you track down whats causing it.

imsoaddicted: I thought that the other day when using hexkids priority games system. I forgot to take it out the list before the game finished. The i couldnt find the game in my games finished. Odd really as it is the game that is finished so it should be there really.

imsoaddicted: The simple answer is either the Barinking rules are changed so we are allowed to play for more than one Team of a certain game at one time or the bug is fixed so people can not abuse it.

BIG BAD WOLF: Something has to be done. This player only joined my team recently and i put them in a match against another fellowhsip that started yesterday morning. Then in the evening they leave the team, sign up for another fellowship team and then challenge us to a match as well
Something not quite right about that, if we all did that, it would make fellowship matches pointless.

Fencer: We can only sign up for one Team of a particular game as the system will not let us play for more than one.
So how can someone playing for a team in one fellowship, leave that team while still playing for it in a match, and join another fellowships team of the same game ??? Is it a bug ???
If not the same person could carry on playing for every fellowship they are a member of.

furbster: But, she hasnt won any games LOL



only joking Lynne

Well done to imsoaddicted (Lynne) on reaching 10355 moves today and still going.....poor fingers LOL
