Subject: Re: I played with 'the last minute player', how can I do?
kkkeeek:If you're winning the game, just get used to it and let it finish. But keep in mind that there are many people like that here on BrainKing. Always accept invitations with a 2-3 day per move time limit.
Subject: Re: I played with 'the last minute player', how can I do?
kkkeeek: Use a shorter time setting. Weekends included, the 14-days per game setting will often come to 20 days per move, which means that your opponent will have 3 weeks to play. 5 days per setting should give you enough time for most of your games, and your opponents will be forced to play faster. Just be carefull about your holidays, if they go over a week, so that you yourself won't timeout.
You can also try Fischer clock settings, where a time is determined for the full game. With the appropriate bonus settings and all, faster players will seldom see any difference, but slower players will soon be forced to play faster. You can find more about it at the FAQ
Subject: I played with 'the last minute player', how can I do?
I play with Nagy Peter, now my game is advantage. But problem is he play at his last minutes for many moves (this game about 8 month now). I don't care if he seldom connects internet but the truth is he connects this website for many times but not play the game until the last minutes. This is so boring! How can I do?
Hrqls: true, but many people don't have brains to begin with. July Action will give it to ten people so it is a start. I wish we had a promo period, a month even, where we gave out brains for winning tournaments or something entirely different. I think if we created a system to let everyone earn or attempt to earn brains, the brain tournaments would really start working. I think it was a great idea for Fencer to implement brain tournaments (as evidenced by my name), but so few people have brains that it doesn't seem to be working now.
gambler104: i would like that .... but hey i am dutch :) there are already such tournaments ... you have to enter some brains and will earn more when you win :)
Chaosu: actually spamming Fencer may be a good idea. It may prompt him to action - an anti-spam module for the Message box and some of the DBs would be a real plus for the site ( at Fencer)
Vikings: Thats good idea but I am probably not alone, also what about future? I doubt spamming Fencer about releasing from tourney everytime You complete Your games and someone else is playing slow is good idea.
Matarilevich: Thanks. The response has been the same from all. I was used to a NorthAmericain game site and messed things up for this game against my will. I have read the FAQ pertaining to the topic. Understand things much better.
Chaosu: you cannot possibly win or advance any farther in that tournament, if you send Fencer a pm and ask him nicely, he will probably release you from that tournament so you can join another one
gambler104: Before this happens, tournaments need to be fixed. The current system isnt really practical. Tournys need to be round robin style till the end. Having 3 or 4 winners for a tourney IS NOT a tourney LOL Should only be 1 winner per tourney..
Hrqls: Here's an idea to reward the top players. Have a brain system for winning tournaments. Maybe 20 brains for winning a tournament with 5 or fewer players and 50 for one with 6-10. And you could keep increasing it. And then have a set limit on number of tournaments that could count for this per month.
Gentlegiant101: I just exposed a simple question. About your history, i inform you the time conditions of your game were 7 days for all it without weekends, so you lost this game because you spent all your time before of the end of it.
I have tried international wire transfer (enabling this option costs as much as premium account in my fathers bank) and I already told You about my problems personally Fencer, You suggested connections with Czech and I told You that if this will be only way... but I got tired and now, when I am back there is other solution so... : )
Matarilevich: the time out message and "loss of game message I received this morning at 9.45 Quebec,Canada time despite the fact my last play was made just hours earlier and opponents only minutes later. And to avoid excessive debate over timezones there is the added written info that Sunday (yesterday) is a weekend day along with the preceding Saturday. for this game whose id is below. I am fully aware that the more serious members are unappreciative of those members who "time out" without valid reason.And it bothers me that this impression is going to be possibly created by an inanimate object. (number1760232) PS: I am epileptic and due to my height 6 feet seven inches I am at a higher risk of getting back sprains and inflammations. if such be my experiences of a given moment Please be informed that I will let the games "time out". Apart from that I enjoy the games too much to let them "time out".
Chaosu: Have you tried the international wire transfer? I've already received payments from Iran, South Africa, China, Russia and many other countries using this way, so I am sure it would work for Poland as well. Not to mention it is a direct neighbor of Czech Republic, so you can easily cross the border and sent the money locally.
You may not belive but it is much harder to pay premium account here from Poland thatn from other countries, see how many PL players already have one? Only Dein asaik and he have multiaccounts anyway because he just play good, 40 games was way too less for him and he also play on all other sites like it : ) Thats why I am searching for other ways, too late for place 1-5 (i wasn't playing for long until 20 july) but we will see.
Chaosu:I personally don't mind! Do what you want, but it's not me who has to give you the green light. There's a Fen ...., Fence ......, Fencer here who is in charge!
Matarilevich:I remember there used to be a warning message in red, saying that the game time was suspended. But I cannot see it anymore. Have you forgotten to put it there Fencer, or am I missing it somehow?
Erinity: What browser do you use? I find that in IE some games are soo slow.. My ludo games were super slow until I started using firefox. now it's like night and day for speed
