BerniceC: send them in a PM to harley : )
She collects all the questions, sends them to Eriisa to answer and then posts the completed interview.
I'm working on my list too!

Asunto: Re: Re:

BerniceC: ok, the offer stands if you decide you want to do that. I won't abuse your trust. And at least you can be sure they will get to harley if you send them to me and you can be sure I won't tell Eriisa what you asked!

4. Marzo 2005, 08:16:25

Asunto: Re: Re:

baddessi: hahahaha thanks Hun. So i know now that I cant trust you and Eriisa HAHAHAHAHA.....
anymore offers????

Maybe Fencer could give her another PM box so the ones she has on ENEMIES can at least take part in the fun side of BK......HMMMMM just a thought!!!

Bernice, you are fully aware of why I had to put you on enemies. I'll remove you now, to receive questions only. For the record, you're the only person on my enemies list.

Has the time out rule on games changed?? I have a game at time to move = -4mins and counting??

Not that im complaining, I dont like to win games by time out! Just curious

4. Marzo 2005, 12:09:26

Asunto: Re:

Aragon: It should not exceed -5 mins.

4. Marzo 2005, 12:10:06

harley

Aragon, do you know about auto-vacation?
Also, the system updates every hour (or so) so if that game will time out, it will happen in the next hour.
Unless they have auto vacation on.

4. Marzo 2005, 12:11:00

harley

Is it not like tourneys where it can go up to an hour?

4. Marzo 2005, 12:11:22

Ahhh thanks, it went to -5 then ended the game I think :)

Thank you both

4. Marzo 2005, 12:13:44

The timeout script is delayed by 5 mins, in order to to improve the overall performance.

4. Marzo 2005, 12:15:09

Infact it didnt end the game but added 1 day as auto-vacation, I like that feature :)

4. Marzo 2005, 12:17:52

Asunto: Re:

Aragon: I dont..it gets abused too much

4. Marzo 2005, 12:24:01

How so mate?

4. Marzo 2005, 12:25:36

I guess a better use of the feature would be that if you had set some vacation days, but were late back it should kick in??

That way if you know you are going away then you set holidays, and if your are delayed for whatever reason it kicks in upto maybe another 7 or so.

But I guess I can see its easy for someone just to disappear for 30 days LOL

4. Marzo 2005, 12:39:18

Asunto: Re:

Aragon:some players will be on site but not move a game, hence auto vacation kicks in and delays a game. i feel if a player is on site and times out..it should be just that, a time out

4. Marzo 2005, 12:41:38

Thats a good point mate

4. Marzo 2005, 12:48:51

Tulip

i play on an NTL box through my tv,its well known as a lousy server.
last year i timed out in 24 games as i couldnt get on-line for over 3 days.
i now have auto vacation set in case it happens again.
NTL was off for nearly a week last month and i was glad of the auto feature as it saved my games

4. Marzo 2005, 12:56:11

I think that normal games should maybe be allowed to take advantage of this rule, but a tournament?? Planned hoildays...YES but not technical issues, or things like that? You would not get conditions like that in a real tournament?

But what the heck, its an added feature now LOL

4. Marzo 2005, 14:11:00

Asunto: Re:

Tulip: I dont think anybody disagrees with autovacation to kick in when we are not online here. But Stevies point is ( and many agree) that if you are online here autovacation option should not be kicked in for you. Now if you should have a day set as a vacation day and happen to still get online, then your vacation day should still be used if needed.

4. Marzo 2005, 14:13:11

WOW! $15,000! Thats a lot of cash!

Sounds like that new server should not be a problem to obtain now! Woooo Whoooo!

4. Marzo 2005, 14:16:42

What are you talking about?

4. Marzo 2005, 14:24:50

Asunto: Re:

Fencer: Whoops! My bad! I thought the server news said that $15,000 had been given to Brainking in exchange for a membership! That would certainly help buy that new server..... I guess I just misread the news or something, sorry :)

4. Marzo 2005, 14:28:38

Now I see it says $13,000 not $15,000 and it is "membership value" whatever that means... It still sounds like you got $13,000 though... maybe you will clairify this for me/us?

4. Marzo 2005, 14:28:56

Niki

for info.. 13000CZK is approx $575 or £300

4. Marzo 2005, 14:48:38

Asunto: Re:

Niki: Ohhhh thanks! That is hardly $13,000 dollars now is it! Actually it is less than $45 dollars donation per person. I wonder who has given the most money to Brainking for memberships? I am sure there must be many more people who deserve "endless gratitude" if all it takes is a $45 dollar donation?

Dont get me wrong.... it is far more than I will likely ever give, but what about all the other people who have given their hard earned money in donation to Brainking and never recieved any recognition in the server news for 'endless gratitude'? I may be wrong (again) but it seems like there are probably many people who deserve such an honor wo have pledged far more money to Brainking?

Czuch Chuckers: oh i agree it souldnt kick in if they are here,i cant imagine being here and not playing?..LOL
i go mad at home if i cant get here at least........most of the day!..heheee!

Asunto: Server News 4 March

Is it not a bit racist to advertise a prize, available to players from one country only?
Would it also be acceptable to site policy to promote a prize available to everyone EXCEPT Czechs??

6. Marzo 2005, 13:09:06

rod03801

Asunto: Re: Server News 4 March

Im a goodun: Yes, a tournament creator can set up whatever parameters they want for their tournament. So, it would be perfectly acceptable to do that. Why not become a paid member and do just that? :-)

6. Marzo 2005, 14:24:44

Im a goodun

Asunto: Re: Server News 4 March

rod03801: Thank you for your prompt reply! My question was not about the tournament creator, but rarher about the site promoting racist policies through Server News! Does the site owner(s) have any principles on the promotion of racist policies within the site?

6. Marzo 2005, 14:42:31

Asunto: Re: Server News 4 March

Im a goodun: Someone tried to do the same for English-speaking players but it was cancelled due to lack of interest.
Of course the site owner is grateful for any revenue no matter from what source. I'm sure he's do the same if a similar tournament was held for red-haired monks with lisps from Belarus.

I dont see what's racist about it. Should Bernice's men only and women only ponds be disallowed as sexist? Should beginners tournaments be disallowed as ratingist?

6. Marzo 2005, 15:33:44

Bry

Asunto: Re:

ughaibu: I agree, are Team USA Fellowship or England Thru and Thru racist?

The server news has simply highlighted the tournament that will bring much needed revenue to the site, which I am sure is appreciated. As the Server News says, it's design and layout is upto the creator of it. If they want it for Czech people only, well so be it.

6. Marzo 2005, 15:54:06

Asunto: Re: Re:

Bry: I dont think of it as racist..... but my beef is that by the site creator making a public comment of 'endless gratitude' for those Czech players who donated $44.00 U.S. to Brainking, yet we have never seen such public gratitude for others, many who have surly given far more than that sum, that appears to me as a bit racist.

6. Marzo 2005, 16:01:39

Asunto: Re: Re:

Czuch Chuckers: More jokes, please! :-) It's highly entertaining after a hard working day.

Asunto: Re: Re:

Czuch Chuckers: Some don't donate for public gratitude.

6. Marzo 2005, 16:14:30

Asunto: Re: Re:

Purple: I understand that. I am sure those Czech players did not donate for the public gratitude either. It just seems curious that because they all are Czech and the site creator is Czech, that they should recieve public gratitude that others who have donated more have not recieved.

Obviously the quick brush off by Fencer gives some credit to this charge of 'racism'

6. Marzo 2005, 16:16:40

Asunto: Re: Re:

Czuch Chuckers: It has happened in the past too Chuck
members of CS and friends have been mentioned for special donation attempts, but others havent...so this is not a "race" issue

6. Marzo 2005, 16:27:03

Asunto: stats

Fencer
does your stats engine log how many times someone has been thrown from any fellowship? LMAO

6. Marzo 2005, 16:32:25

I know who will be number 1 and 2 ;o) :oP

Bry

Asunto: Re: Re:

Czuch Chuckers: I might be wrong, but when LindaJ created the BG tournament that was $5 to enter with a $50 prize, that too was advertised on Server News with public gratitude.

6. Marzo 2005, 17:13:48

Bry: Of course you are right. And it was also advertised on BrainKing.info site and several more places. But some people will always complain about anything, it doesn't matter. That's why I don't see these accusations worth responding from my side.

6. Marzo 2005, 17:25:14

Asunto: Re:

Also curious that it was a tournament for only Czech members yet it was worthy for all on brainking to be informed. It could have easily been posted to the Czech version without bothering those of us who are not Czech.

Bry.... atleast you were able to find one good example, you only had to go back a year or two :) At least that example it was actually an issue for all of Brainking and not just one particular race.
