Dolittle:yeah, but I think he just gave us permission to complain about stuff.  I can't think of anything right now tho.  lol

Fencer: I can't speak for others ~ but YES this site is important to me

Artful Dodger: Good thing you aren't thinking about the so-called auto-pass feature that is currently on this site and not what a good auto-pass system would be such a great addition to the site.... because if you were thinking about that, then you might have something to complain about.

coan.net:hmmmmm, auto pass.  Yeah, now that you mention it!  

Thank's FENCER & LIQUID for such a GREAT SITE:))))

Fencer thank's for the nice CUP i received today for BKR. Is this a new idea?:)))

Fencer: what new system?

Bwild: Look for the "Achievements" Tab on your profile.

rod03801: You can find the new vacation system under the Achievements tab?

Pedro Martínez: I misunderstood. I thought Bwild was responding to "Gerry".

Sorry!

Dobbelschaken (AbigailII - joshi tm)

Should be an achievement I think ;) But it is not achieved at my Profile?

joshi tm: Game achievements are not calculated from archive databases. I will activate it manually soon.

Lifetime dedication

Purchase a Black Brain Rook membership level.

Hrqls: I have read and read and read.....Still . no reply from the one who can do anything about it. The man who controls the money and the site. The man who can fix this stupid loop that has 1200 people stuck in a moving situation for the last year or so. I for one,,if it doesnt get resolved will not be back. Even Pat at IYT is not this careless with his site. And he is one dumb,,,never mind. I for one do not want to play with a player who offends the system and abuses it while the management and wonership of this site lets it happen. You have polling on this site, lets use it. Lets be democratic about it. All in favor of getting 35 more vacation days a year by buying another years membership and also the following year get another 35 for free say YES,, All others who believe that one should only get 35 days a year max no matter how many memberships he buys in a yearsay NAY. Its that simple. And if it gets voted down and the Nays win,,then vacation days should be revoked. Do even FOREVER Brain Rooks get unlimited vacations in a year???? I think not.

Gammonator: It's not my fault that you don't read carefully: BrainKing.com (Fencer, 2009-04-03 14:08:06)

Gammonator: Fencer DID say this, a little further down the board

BrainKing.com (Fencer, 2009-04-03 14:08:06)

Edit: Ooops, he beat me to it

That he did Rod.

AbigailII:

AbigailII: Some of these suggestions are really good.

AbigailII:

Score max possible points on all of Dice Poker, Triple Dice Poker, Dice Poker 6D and Triple Dice Poker 6D. ------ That would be hard, if not almost impossible. I would be surprised if anyone has gotten the "max" points. Maybe Fencer can look through the database to find out what the highest score in all those games are, then make an achievement between 50-100 points below that max as the achievement. (of course each game would be a little different.)

Fencer: And about blocked users? It would be interesting explorer that. Blocked users by 5 or 10 players, for example. lol. I think nobody knows the number of players that block us, so would be a surprise...Well, I don't know if this is a great archievement, but i would like to see it. :)

coan.net:Methinks you overlooked the irony in the entire post ;-)

Undertaker.: I think an Achievement should be something that you really WANT to do.

joshi tm: I understand your point, but that can be a dubious question. I don't want make "1000 moves in 1 day". However, you would want say that an archievement is a good thing (something like a guiness book lol) and my proposal is the contrary. :)

But if we're created achievements, so why not create bad achievements or something like that? Block users by 5 or 10 players; block users in 5 discussion boards; block users 5 times in the same discussion board; 10 consecutive lose games (with or without time-out); 5 or 10 consecutive lose games (with or without time-out) in same type of game.

So, is it a good idea?

Undertaker.: Of course, it's a brilliant idea.

Undertaker.:If I make 1,000 moves in 1 day, that means the rest of my day went very badly ;-)

alanback: And what about people who made 10 thousand moves in 1 day?

Fencer: Very fast connection!!!!!!!

A new discussion board: http://brainking.com/cz/Board?bc=163

Undertaker.: Short: No.

Longer: I refer to a P{laystion 3 Throphy where a player must do a friendly fire to achive an achievement, that's ridiculous!

Fencer:For them, there is no rest of the day!

joshi tm: Sorry, but ridiculous was your understanding. The goal would be don't achieve an achievement, of course. Besides, my idea is very usual in others situations. In USA, you have Oscares for the best movie, for the best actor, for the best actress, etc., and in the day before, there's an event where is choosed the worst movie, actor, actress, producer, etc. Of course, nobody want be the worst actor and actress, right?

And about my idea, i can understand that block users by 5 or 10 players, block users in 5 discussion boards are bad ideas or dubious ideas, but 10 consecutive lose games (with or without time-out), 5 or 10
consecutive lose games (with or without time-out) in same type of game, etc. would be interesting...

Undertaker.: A black achievement? Which costs points? Interesting though. Good point.

joshi tm: Yes, why not? If everybody want do achievements, nobody will want do black achievements, but sometimes we can do it against our intention, so why not create both?

joshi tm:I think "negative achievements" is a better term.

coan.net: Aye.... For a perfect game, it would be a one in a well... big odds.

Near perfect points though.. rare, but not impossible.

The vacation system has been changed.
Details will be described in the BrainKing.info blog later today.
Objections are refused in advance.

Fencer: ROFL......

Fencer: Found it already on the paid membership details for rooks....

1.2.2) Brain Rook

A player with Brain Rook membership level can use up to 35 vacation days a year. After some vacation days are used, it is possible (twice a year) to get some extra days (during the same year) if the membership is renewed by another year (or longer period) - 10 after the first renewal and 5 after the second one.

(V): If i understood, a player can only have 50 (35+10+5) vacation days a year, right? So, how is possible a person have 70 (35+35) vacation days a year? It was a bug or i didn't understand anything... <img>

Undertaker.: That is a good question, I don't think it was a bug by Fencer's reply to the person complaining.

Undertaker.: in the new system you brain rooks can have a max of 35+10+5 vacation days per year

in the old system you could more than that .. each renewel would give a brain rook 35 extra days .. the 70 days you speak about are probably bought in the old system

give the new system some time to start :)

Hrqls: Yes, of course. I thought that system was already created some time ago. I didn't see Fencer post. lol.

Snoopy: No, if someone gives me the list of them

Fencer: Well, there's the one who must not be named.

AbigailII:

This will definitely take abuse of the system down. If a game now last longer than a year, it is probably an Anti Backgamon game with loose time controls.

So I was taking a look at the game settings page just now, and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me the difference between the first and third sets of Logik pieces.

nodnarbo: If you find a green piece in the third set, I'll tell you. :)
