I havbe won two chess games. Actually I won them both on the same day, but only one appears in my total results. Is there a reason for this? The two results were about 5 hours apart.
I really have no time to ask everyone to be nice on discussion boards. I am overloaded with my work on BK and I have to sleep sometimes.
Please, use the General Chat board.
Otsikko: Use the General Chat board, not this one!!
I see that danoschek has remained popular as always (not)... but WHY post that stuff here? It's an insult to Fencer and Brainking.com that you (and by "you" I mean anyone who has participated in the recent flame war) chose this board to post your nonsence on, hence shadowing the postings of anyone who wants to post up about brainking.com itself; hasn't that occured to any of you? Least of all because Fencer went to the trouble of supplying us with a General Chat board yesterday. If nothing else you should have enough respect to stay on-topic on THIS board and post your other stuff on the General Chat board.
to everyone flaming Danoscheck for whatever reason... If Danoschek is the poison, then many of thep eople at IYT must be far worse than poison, whatever that is. If any of you don't like what he says, apply Bid Bad wolf's advice that he repeatts over and over (and over and over) AND DON'T PAY ANY ATTENTION TO THEM (the posts I mean).
I don't think there is really anything wrong with what he says-- but yet about a half dozen people made dozens of posts jumping all over him...
So everyone chill out. Danoschek may have soem odd posts, but he is usually civil, so I am not sure why he is called a spammer. As for whoever referred to him as "bannedoschek," well, his banning at IYT was total nonsense.
Otsikko: fencer,I have another idea for an orig game variant...
...how about a version of reversi 10X10 for more than 2 players...using more than 2 colors.I think the large board would reduce a bit the odds of it ending in a multiple draw.what do you think?
I know,I'm still hinting at multiple player games,but they are fun.
Otsikko: yes,I'm OD'ing on the whinning & verbal diarrhea.
ok .ok ...as anyone with any grey cells can assume.all server sites are different.some have good/bad features..as per the individual users opinion.no offense to anyone,but it is not enough to simply say you dont like a particular site.might be in better taste to simply say you prefer a certain site.no need to ramble on for several pages saying nothing of any substance.I hope this board doesnt start to remind me of a adolescent name calling chatroom.
besides,with everything going on in the world today,we could talk about a REAL issue.
Like his profile says "my bark cAn be noisy"...nothing BUT noise. This was such a peaceful place, one common element chages all. Keep guessing, hint: no hint.
has this place gone mad??????.....I used to look forward to the 4-6 messages that were posted each day onthis board and now find im having to read all sorts of c rap that has nothing to do with anything as far as i can see....Fencer put a stop to the spamming and lets all get on with it:)
fencer, please dont allow this stuff here. Once it starts its like an infection. I TOO enjoyed coming here for the reason that it wasnt like IYT on these boards...
I agree with Rose and Erika. I too came here to get away from the nastyness and now all of a sudden it is starting here. Didn't have this problem before. Must be contagous.
Cant you people take it to private chat? A lot of us had hoped this site wouldnt turn in to another IYT - with all the slamming, nastiness that is on their boards - so lets play nice.. if you cant then at least take it to private chat.. none of us members need or want to read this crap.. thanks
that's not only a brainking feature ;)
just hope she makes it finally to leave me
alone and remembers these boards are monitored
and, as I assume, don't grant any mobbing ... ~*~
Surely you didnt assume he found a real life?...and yes, the poison of IYT has washed up on the shores of BK...also making friends everywhere he goes, ahhh some things never change.
Goldtoken also allows the illegal move. I would like to note also that a lot of players do not realise it is an illegal move as they have never played on a real board. So they figure if the site allows it, then it should be. I am hoping Fencer fixes it soon :-)
A player must use both numbers of a roll if this is legally possible (or all four numbers of a double). When only one number can be played, the player must play that number. Or if either number can be played but not both, the player must play the larger one. When neither number can be used, the player loses his turn. In the case of doubles, when all four numbers cannot be played, the player must play as many numbers as he can.

I'm not sure either - here usually we play it
the other way: of course everybody may choose
freely which dice to use first ... but I heard
of a different interpretation as well ... ~*~
(I could be wrong since I'm not a gammon expert, but I'm pretty sure this is against the rules... please correct me if I'm wrong)
Lets take for example if you roll a 6 and a 2. Lets say only 1 of your checkers are able to move 6 spaces (and many to move 2 spaces)
So instead of moving that 1 checker 6 spaces, you move it only 2 - leaving the "6 dice" to do nothing, and you end your move.
I believe the rules are (and again, I may be wrong) - If possible, you HAVE to use both dice when it is possible. So the software should "MAKE" me move that 1 checker 6 spaces, and also move a checker 2 spaces.
I have seen this happen in 2 of my games here so far.
I'm having trouble with ALL my games, if I click on 'move and go to next game' I get a white screen, same if I click on 'move and go to main page'... or to a named game. Its taking me ages to get any moves done!
Otsikko: Re: Let's promote BrainKing and eliminate IYT
(reply to Dmitri King message from way below)
What point was I trying to make by rewritng them? Well take a look at the very next thing I wrote - "Simple Suggestion: Just don't go there no more". If someone does not like a site, do not go there! (At least I think it sounds simple enough).
It is a game site. If you don't like how it is ran, don't go there. They have non-paid memberships so everyone can try out their site before they pay. If they do not like it, well try another place - there are more and more turn-based game sites comming up (including this great place - BrainKing).
As for the negative thing. When I see a post that puts down one site, and then turns around and tries to promote a second site - I PERSONALY feel that it reflects negativly against the second site! I know not everyone will agree with my view (and that is fine), but to me it just seems like the second site has people go out and destroy the first site. Even though the second site might not approve of what is going on (which I have not heard how BrainKing feels about it) - but to put down IYT and turn around and tell people to come here looks very negative to me.
I mean if you are going to do that, why not also post the bad stuff about BrainKing???? Don't get me wrong, I love BrainKing - but there are bad things here also. Why not include how it is hard to follow threads in the message board? Or how the Backgammon games will let you make illigal moves? Or how they also limit their free users - and you can only join 1 tournament at a time as a free users (and even if you are out of the tournament - you can't join a second one until ALL users in a section are done - not just you).
Bottom line: All sites are different (THIS IS GOOD). People should try all sites and play at what they like best. For example, I do not like to play at GoldToken. But, every once and awhile I will post a message on IYT about different turn-based games sites. I include GoldToken, LittleGolem, DailyGammon, and now BrainKing. Even though I do not like all the sites - everyone should find what they like the best - and if you do not like it, DO NOT GO THERE! (sounds so simple.... but I guess it is not)
And again - I know not everyone will agree with my opinion, and that is fine. Good Luck in your elimination plans of IYT.
Whisperz - Well all the brunette pieces squealed (they would, wouldn't they) but the brunette bishop was a proper wuss!
I'm glad they haven't got Janus chess there. Imagine grabbing the King's Janus...
The blonde pieces, though, were very obliging.
