not the first time - but who is none of your business -
and, since in denial it will always happen again, we can't
be sure that you won't continue your harrassing on the new place they play ... ~*~

12. Septiembre 2004, 21:01:47

LOL
yeah how many times has he threatened about people leaving. And so far, NO ONE has to my knowledge.

Correct me if I am wrong please

Keep up the great work Fencer, it is getting better and better all the time and most people love the site and appreciate the hard work you guys put in

Asunto: Re: Member Support

No one ever left because of new features. The real challenge is to ignore stevie.

12. Septiembre 2004, 20:58:58

After the way youve dealt with me in the past, do you blame me being sour
Its not a personal advantage, its recognition.
Then to see the way youve been with LJ with what he has done on here, maybe you are confused or persuaded to be diferent with others.

Again, LJ is no-one, so he can be quiet

12. Septiembre 2004, 20:58:14

I think just two would be ideal.
Gold (10 euro per month) and Silver (5 euro per month) and maybe as rotating Gif's or something like that would be kinda cool

I will be running a prize BG Tourney for members of my board, the prize will be a minimum of a 1 year Brainrook membership, with a possible second prize being added to. It will be an invite only Tourney, and you need to post in the relevent thread on the board to get an invite.

pop along to The Games Centre
if you want to play.

thanks for reading,

Btw, although I like the idea of adding more membership sub-levels [colours for Rooks], it's not a trivial task to be done within an hour without corrupting the current system. I must think it over and design it well and I cannot say how long it can take.

12. Septiembre 2004, 20:55:03

Stevie: I guess you don't get the real purpose of support. It's mainly about to help the site itself, not to expect personal advantages out of it. Everything is on a volunteer basis and who doesn't want to accept it, should not do it.

12. Septiembre 2004, 20:55:03

why do you constantly attack Fencer when something new happens that you dont like?
It is getting very tiresome yawnnnnnnnnnn

I think it is a good idea what he has done. I run prize tournies and you dont see me acting like a spoilt brat not getting what I want !!!

Grow up and let go. It doesnt have to worry you.

shut your mouth, i wasnt talking to the freak

Asunto: hope there will be more of the type

who help and don't cry the flood over brainking
if they don't think it's balanced equally - bleh ~*~

12. Septiembre 2004, 20:52:00

why do you make an issue of this all of a sudden now?
Seems you were quite content until you found out that someone had offered to donate 10 Euro per month extra to have a golden rook.
This is substantially more than a couple of prize tourneys here and there.

It leads one to ask, why did you run prize tourneys in the first place? what was your goal?

I currently have one running with 2 6 month rook memberships and I have already paid the cost of the memberships to Fencer. You dont see me getting all flstered about this do you?

12. Septiembre 2004, 20:48:40

Asunto: ridiculous notions about losing a few members?

nope, losing their future support for getting nothing out of helping you, except ignorance the rest of the time

12. Septiembre 2004, 20:47:45

too many would detract from the meaning and make it futile to be a part of it.
One or 2 different levels only would be a more suitable idea I would think

12. Septiembre 2004, 20:47:20

Fencer, you are talking crap also now.
My problem is not against the likes of bad bishop for doing what he is, or for harley etc for getting what they want, nor features i dont like as you put it.
I like it, but YOU NEED TO ACKNOWLEDGE OTHERS WHO ARE/HAVE AND WILL HELP YOU

12. Septiembre 2004, 20:44:01

Bringing back an idea that I had a long time ago - different "color" type icons to show different support level. (Since if Money is what is needed for this site, some will donate extra money just to get an extra little symbol next to their ID)

You could have Red rooks, blue rooks, bronze, silver, gold, or even a cool multi color rainbow rook -- all meaning different extra support for this site.

12. Septiembre 2004, 20:40:02

Stevie: Have you even noticed that every time I release a new feature you don't like, you come with your ridiculous notions about losing a few members? Maybe you could just ignore it.

12. Septiembre 2004, 20:38:16

Modificado por LongJohn (12. Septiembre 2004, 20:38:43)

fencer has an alternate good idea
5 bucks a month for Silver. That sounds fair to me

12. Septiembre 2004, 20:37:05

well you wont mind losing a few members who feel they support the site for absolutely sod all then

12. Septiembre 2004, 20:34:24

No. It has nothing to do with donations, Brains, prize tournaments etc. Bad Bishop has come with this idea and offered the price, I've accepted it. In order to make it fair to him, the conditions should be similar for everyone.

12. Septiembre 2004, 20:31:06

my reasoning behind that is....
you get refered by new member, you get brains
you donate or pay for prizes you get nothing, so maybe the icon change should be used there also

12. Septiembre 2004, 20:29:13

so why were we not informed of the gold rook?

So those who have done prize tournies in my eyes should get that for suporting the site

12. Septiembre 2004, 19:44:57

Wow, I did not even know about the Golden Rooks

And I just noticed if you put your mouse cursur over the "Rook" or icon next to a persons name, it will show where they are from, and if they are Male or Female.

12. Septiembre 2004, 19:40:02

Thanks.

Bad Bishop from Austria is the first one, see paid membership page. I reckon it's a good idea :))

*edit* thanks for the replies to my ratings query, btw :)

thats a known bug

12. Septiembre 2004, 17:45:07

. . . . and what's a "brain golden" when it's at home?

12. Septiembre 2004, 16:39:54

Ratings are funny, look at the number of games considered then add up the broken down games, the totals rarely match.

Asunto: rating position query

Modificado por Niki (12. Septiembre 2004, 16:27:16)

I am listed as 94th in the 5 in line ratings, yet at the top of the page it says I'm in position 103, and it also says that on my main page. Any idea why please?
*edit* hmm, interesting, when I look at page 1 of ratings, position is 103, when I 'go to this page' it again says position 103, but ofcourse I'm not there.. then when I look at page 2 where I'm in the correct position, it does actually say the correct position at the top of the page too !?!

11. Septiembre 2004, 12:14:37

Yes, I am still on the first page [50 lines per page] :-)

11. Septiembre 2004, 10:44:59

well I like the look of This one best :o)

11. Septiembre 2004, 04:08:53

Well I actually noticed it while looking at a different tournament, but decided to link to the Backgammon one since I look beter on that page! :-)

11. Septiembre 2004, 04:06:34

NOT a floosie

Well, yeah....that's cause you're not at the bottom! (j/k)

11. Septiembre 2004, 03:16:04

Wow - I REALLY love the Players Results that have been added to the Team Tournaments.

waits around to see what else "new" I can find.

Well, I for one, think the pieces look great! of course this is coming frome someone who breaks out in hives at the very mention of a checker match! LOL

Asunto: New Checker pieces

If I could make a suggestion. Have who ever created them resave then in their graphics program using the darkest colour on the checker board as a background colour, then they wont have such a bright white chunky edge around them.. Just my 2 cents.

10. Septiembre 2004, 20:02:33

They will be fixed later. The best quality is 90x90, of course, because they are the original pictures.

i don't know, i had to call MSN and they put me through to the preview dept.

10. Septiembre 2004, 19:15:56

Its just they are not up to your usual standard for BK pieces. Were none in the past any better then?

10. Septiembre 2004, 19:09:56

You can do it if you want to.

10. Septiembre 2004, 18:55:57

Asunto: changed them

they are better, but they are a bit messy. will they have their edges tidied up at somepoint?

10. Septiembre 2004, 18:54:00

ahhhhhh thats the trick LOL Thanks pauloaguia :o)

10. Septiembre 2004, 18:53:05

pauloaguia

Go to Settings and change the checkers pieces... Both the new and the old sets appear as options

10. Septiembre 2004, 18:49:09

Am I missing the new checker pieces for some reason, or will they only appear on new games or has Liquid slept all day? LMAO

10. Septiembre 2004, 18:47:22

Interesting. Where can be found more info about it?

Asunto: New Web TV
