Temo: Tip of the day
Isn't it a bit over the top to advertise a commercial product on the tip of the day? Ads should be put somewhere else. Tips of the day should be reserved for tips and hints about Brainking!

Temo: Re: There are genuine cases where people get ill and end up in hospital.
Artful Dodger: there can be many reasons, some examples
- an unexptected longer illness
- an unexpected change of jobs where internet access is more limited than your previous job
- an unscheduled long vacation
- an unexpected illness of a family member
- unexpected computer / provider problems

the policy of vacation days (or even no vacation days) is different per game site

the policy of this site is to allow vacation days .. and at the moment the policy is to allow rebuying of more vacation days

Artful Dodger: No, that's not life. That's an opinion. In the end it'll be up to Fencer and HIS opinion on how the matter is resolved.

It's not a case of "pity", it's a case of real life.

Temo: There are genuine cases where people get ill and end up in hospital.
(V):That's life Jules.  No exceptions.  No pity cases.  Part of the games are the time constraints.  If you can't meet them, you time out.  I've played over the board tournaments for years and that's a huge part of the game.  You don't get extra time because you don't feel well.  Nuf with the excuses.  You get so many vacation days a year so use them wisely.

(V): No one is being punished Jules. You get X number of vacation days a year. Use them wisely. If you have problems and need more, too bad for you. Stop playing so many games. I don't feel sorry for people who time out in games when they are given enough vacation days a year. It's unfair to other players when people get more days. You get what you get and that's it.

Have about making two turns at once in this game? But they should e done with different pieces.

(V): Why any extra days anyway? When they are gone, they are gone. Part of the game is the time limits. I oppose any additional days.

Temo: Re:
Constellation36: All current running games will continue - even if you are over the limit.

If you make it into a next round of a tournament - those games will start also.

The only thing you will be kicked out of is new tournaments you might be signed up for since you will be over your game limit.

But no worries - you will be able to continue to play all current games.

I have the Brain Bishop type of membership that expires today. I have also more than 20 games running. When the Brain Bishop expires in a few hours and i will transformed into a Pawn what will happen with my games?
Will they expire also in order the 20 games restrictions for Pawns to be applied?

Temo: Re: Reminder
rod03801: I thought the talk was to limit the extra days you can get in one year, sure someone is entitled to buy as many memberships in a year as they please, but the talk as I have mentioned was a limit, maybe such as only an extra ten or fifteen days a year.

rod03801:I don't think it's so much a matter of abuse as of thoughtlessness.  People should not be subject to criticism for following the rules of the site.  The rules can always be changed if they don't suit the majority of users.  However, deliberately delaying matches is rudeness, another term for which is unsportsmanlike behavior, and that can legitimately be criticized.

Charles Martel: Well, a few have had suggestions, but I haven't seen any response from Fencer about it. So, I don't know

Fortunately, it's not a wide-spread problem. (As far as people buying memberships over and over again to get a few years' worth of vacation days in one year)

Carl:unluckily that one you are playing is someone that shouldn;t be in brainking .. sorry .. i always make sure that if he signs in any tourney i am not there and he is banned from all my tourneis
eventually he will need to move so push him to limits .. do not give him any break .. move as much as you can

alanback: Odd indeed.As well as not being a mathematician I'm also not a psychologist.But this has got me wondering.This stalling is obviously being done on purpose so I'm thinking that perhaps there's some minute sense of power being derived from these tactics? To most of us this is a place to play games,nothing more,nothing less.But to a lesser mind, it may be all they have in life that gives them any sense of self importance.As i said i'm, no psychologist so don't really know how a human mind works and thinks.But surely this behaviour is more to be pitied than scolded.

Pedro Martínez: I didn't think of that.Thanks. But I just checked his days and it is set for Wednesday and Thursday? But i supposed that could have been reset yesterday.I also checked when the game started,it was 11th August 08.It's a 7 point backgammon race game with a 2 day limit.16 moves made so far.I'm no mathematician but that seems like a lot of vacation days used!

I don't understand how these work.I'm playing a game against someone with 0 vacation days left,yet when they time out, another 24 hours is added to there time too move? Can anyone shed any light on this phenomenon?

Am i right in thinking that the Poker game is written in JavaScript ?

If so are there any plans to change any of the other games so they would run in it, hence stopping the need for page reloading. Would be a bonus for Logik i know that
