BrainKing - Foros de discusión (BrainKing.com)

Btw, as you can see, the interviews have been moved from BrainKing.info to this site. The reason is that I've created a new interview system which allows me to process and add new ones much faster and with several neat features.

Asunto: Re: Back Buttons

Fencer; what's wrong with using back buttons?

6. Diciembre 2004, 11:19:34

Asunto: Re: Back Buttons

tonyh: Nothing unless you go back to a page which is no longer valid. For example, a game page containing an old position. Firefox handles this situation by a forced reload but it doesn't work with IE.

Asunto: back buttons

actually I'd *like* to be able to go back to old pages, e.g. to that discussion board with all the "New" labels

Asunto: Re: back buttons

Then you have to wait for a cache control option. For paying members only, of course.

Skyking

Asunto: Upgrade

I am thinking about upgrading my Knight to a rook. How do I do this in the paid Membership.

6. Diciembre 2004, 18:57:55

Bry

Skyking - ask Jules - I think he has just done it.

6. Diciembre 2004, 18:59:52

Mort

No Bry, I just bought meself rook membership to add on to the few days left there were of knight membership. I don't know if it's all Rook now, or I might have some knight days sitting at the end.

Fencer, how does it work?

6. Diciembre 2004, 19:02:05

Skyking

I have knight Membership til December next year yet I want to turn it into a rook for the year?

6. Diciembre 2004, 19:07:55

Bry

Ok Jules - I didnt know if you were at the end of Knight or upgraded like Skyking does. Looks like you'll have to wait for Fencer to reply.

6. Diciembre 2004, 19:12:33

coan.net

Don't quote me, but I think he can do it 2 ways.

1) Buy a rook membership, then when that expires, you will be turned into a "knight" for however long you have left on your current membership.

2) See if you can "convert" your knight membership into rook membership - that is let say for every 2 months of Knight = 1 month of rook.

Again, best thing to do is wait for Fencer, or send him a note in case he does not see your post in here.

6. Diciembre 2004, 19:17:47

Skyking

OK BBW. I wrote you a PM. nJust ignore it LOL

Asunto: Re: rook membership

Hi just did this a few days ago. Was a knight with about 10 months to go on that, and paid for a year of rook, and became a rook straight away.

hope that helps

Nuno Miguel

Hi! is there any special rule for paying members to never time out?
Thanks

6. Diciembre 2004, 21:56:50

pauloaguia

Nuno: yes, paying members do have the option to set autovacation on which means that, when they timeout, the time will be extended for another day in exchange for a vacation day (if it's a rook, then they have 30 vacation days to use).

Fencer: Don't worry - Opera doesn't reload the pages when I use the back button ;)

6. Diciembre 2004, 22:42:10

Nuno Miguel

Thanks Paulo, but the guy made time out today and he is on vacation only tomorrow...

Asunto: Interview with BIG BAD WOLF

In the Interview with BIG BAD WOLF I noticed the discussion read like a book with the oldest on the top and I could read it down to the end at the bottom. Refreshing!

You've got to hand it to harley, she likes to confuse people by starting at the beginning and finishing at the end. It baffles me every time. Mae'n wych. :)

7. Diciembre 2004, 12:29:57

Asunto: :o( I renewed around a week ago and missed out

Server News (7. December 2004, 11:20:12) Fencer
1) Christmas Special! Everybody who pays for any kind of membership (or extends the current one) and makes it to the end of this year (2004), will automatically get one FREE month of the same membership as a Christmas present.
2) And for the doubtful ones, there is one temptation - BrainKing brings the first multiplayer game which is accessible for paying members only. The number of participants is unlimited and the name is Run round the Pond.
remove

7. Diciembre 2004, 13:53:24

Stevie: There is still a chance you'll make it next year :-D
Or if you win the first Run around the Pond, some prize can appear.

7. Diciembre 2004, 14:09:53

Asunto: Re:

If I renew again LOL
Only just did this time

7. Diciembre 2004, 14:13:24

How many times did I hear that? Heh :-)

7. Diciembre 2004, 14:14:15

Ask my friends for proof

7. Diciembre 2004, 14:15:02

Asunto: Re: Run Around The Pond

I read the rules but I still don't have a good idea as to what the game is all about!!

7. Diciembre 2004, 14:16:21

Asunto: Re: Run Around The Pond

me too.........will there be a graphic or board or something?

7. Diciembre 2004, 14:16:35

No.

7. Diciembre 2004, 14:17:12

How do you see whats going on then?

7. Diciembre 2004, 14:18:42

Wait and be patient.

7. Diciembre 2004, 14:20:06

OK
Well ive now joined a game I dont know anything about, and dont know how to watch LOL

7. Diciembre 2004, 14:40:15

Asunto: Re:

Like dating a dame for the first time!

7. Diciembre 2004, 14:41:19

Bad Bishop (who asked me to add this game to BK) says that it will be absolutely clear for everyone after the first move :-)

7. Diciembre 2004, 14:41:30

blind date at that LOL

7. Diciembre 2004, 14:43:41

will there be a bkr for this ? ;)

7. Diciembre 2004, 14:44:52

How would you calculate it? :-)

7. Diciembre 2004, 14:46:07

eh .... i would ask fencer to make it up ;)

7. Diciembre 2004, 14:49:30

Luke Skywalker

a vs b = 1:1/2:0 depending on who stayed longer in the game

7. Diciembre 2004, 14:54:52

Asunto: Run Around

Well, you've got 52 of us to sign up for a game no-one (except BB) knows anything about!! Do we need skill? Should we rename it Dark Dark?

7. Diciembre 2004, 14:57:22

we need to know the minds of our fellow players .. will they gamble high or low ...

of course everyone could put in everything minus 2 in the first round .. so you could be the lonely winner if you put in everything minus 1 .. but thats a low chance :)

hmm change the bkr on every round gained instead of at the end of the complete game :)

Modificado por Chessmaster1000 (7. Diciembre 2004, 15:03:53)

No the rules are clear! I don't really know why you don't understand it...........??? I have just read it for the first time and i found it fun and easy to play...........

Just one comment. There is a rule that says: 4) If a player have no points left, he must make the next move with 0 points and it is very unlikely he will stay on the pondside.
How such a player stay in the game? I see the probability for that = 0. So (s)he would never stay in the game so what's the purpose of participating in the next move with 0 points?
Please explain where i am wrong......?

7. Diciembre 2004, 15:03:05

Chessmaster1000: "Very unlikely" in this case means "no chance". Call it a programmer's joke :-D

7. Diciembre 2004, 15:04:01

furbster

this game sounds fun, even though i have no idea what it is lol... now i'm counting the days till it starts

7. Diciembre 2004, 15:04:51

Chessmaster1000

Oh, OK:-) I'm just translating everything with it's absolute meaning...........

7. Diciembre 2004, 15:05:49

when more than 1 player has the lowest amount .. will they all drop out ?
(i guess so :))

7. Diciembre 2004, 15:05:57

Crook

TonyH (14:54): I suppose if one read the rules, it should be clear enough, although the game is little bit abstract. :-)

7. Diciembre 2004, 15:06:18

Hrqls: Yes.

7. Diciembre 2004, 15:06:54

Chessmaster1000

Of course noone will know what the player has played, right? He would just choose a number in each round........! I assume that no 7 days per move would happen as then the play will be slow, a 2 days per move is ideal for me. But it's your choice..........

7. Diciembre 2004, 15:07:08

can we place bets on how long certain people will stay in the game ? ;)

7. Diciembre 2004, 15:07:39

Crook

Hrqls (15:05): Yep.
