Czuch Chuckers: Like talking about bets at the ponds is not cheating...

Pythagoras: It surley isnt cheating, and should not upset anyone anymore than playing a 21 day game to the full 21 days every move is completely acceptable....

Pythagoras: Want some beans? :P

Andre Faria: Good!

We could have associated to every players profile, some rankings given by other players in such attributes like kindness, sportmanship, quicknes, and so on...

Emmett, Pythagoras: Wise words but they're heading down the path of off-topic,

One of his best is:
"Numbers inevitably will lead a person down the path of reason"

Pythagoras: "Write in the sand the flaws of your friend."
-Pythagoras of Samos

playBunny: Gotcha. I didn't look at it all. I got caught by taking a game under 12 hours per move once an timed out on it, getting a loss. Im more careful on the games I take now.

Rose: No, it's unfortunate but there are many innocents caught by his scam... and many more yet to be caught. Have a look at his Battleboats, for instance. Far too many different names against the low number of moves matches.

emmett: Id say its sorta cheating, cos they are cheating themselves as much as their opponents.. Id rather win by merits not by cack handed tactics

emmett: Here is a thought. If he won so many on time outs would that indicate all the other ID's he won from are made up pawns he setup in order to win?

Pedro Martínez: I would hardly call it winning.

Pythagoras: I'd hardly call this a "clever" way of winning.

Pythagoras: Yes, there's something sad and pathetic about someone who makes such cheating** their priority (even if they are 80, lol).

(** "cheating" defined in a vaguer, more human and less "ruley" sense )

Since a legal thing is a legal thing and i am as pedantic as it goes, i call it fair!
Clever way of winning, yet i would not put him on my friends or approve his behaviour.....
I could call him a moron but i won't, since the moderators silently spy everything from above
He thinks he does something clever and he admires himself believeing that he is a superior brain that is fooling everyone, but the only thing he does is to spend his time on stupid things while he isn't realising that his time is coming to an end. The day that he will realise this, would be too late.....
On the other hand he may be an 80 years old man, that did everything in his life and wants to try something new!

Pythagoras: We discussed him on the backgammon board, too (Top 9 messages from the link). Some of his opponents don't realise the implications of the 11-hour-zero-bonus clock that he uses. Others think he's using that clock because he wants a fast game but discover that he stalls until they cannot stay at their computer. Then he moves and their clock runs out while they're asleep or at work. Strictly speaking it's legal but I consider him a cheat.

Oh, so he is a player that is based on winning on time? LOL! That is quite new way of winning.....

Pythagoras: if you go to the backgammon board you´ll find the reason for it...

I've seen the statistics of robtoo for Battleboats and he has 87 wins and 2 loses.

That can't be real since battleboats is a game of mainly luck! But i've discovered the reason. From his 87 wins the 79 were wins by time out of the opponent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So i wonder what kind of voodoo makes to his opponents and they run out of time?

Just kidding about the voodoo-part but i still wonder......

pauloaguia & Emmett: The next interview is with Pedro Martinez and should be soonish

emmett: Mine will be on its way to you soon! I just sent harley my answers.

harley When's the next interview coming up?

merry christmas and happy new year.

would say that everytime I reply OK thats enough. or back to chuckers starting something when I talk BYE see every1 next year...
:o(

ok thats enough, thanks :O)

mrloupcity: Is someone feeling guilty? LOL

mrloupcity: I didn´t say you are trying to time control. I only explained to Marfitalu the reason about a big time left in that game.

Matarilevich: So u think I'm trying to time control. Ask every1 I'm playin I try to make a move in games at least every 2 days if not 2 or 3 times a day. I'm going out of town next week and just put the rest of the month on vac. SORRY if u think it's time controling. I just don't need the vac days left. hehehe
:o{)

oops forgot back to my couch in the corner to hide poof.

Marfitalu: It´s correct. Check the profile of MrLoupCity. He has all days until 3 of January as vacation because he has monday and thusday as weekend days and he still has vacation days. The other game, i can´t see it but it can be the same situation.

Marfitalu: he also has different weekend days set

Marfitalu: Your opponent(s) have put many days as vacation days which is why you are seeing the strange days left for some games.

heavenlyemma: You're close to the truth there. My current sleeping pattern has left me very fuzzy-brained.

playBunny: You've got no brains either nahhh

Eriisa: Aye. I seem to recall that from when I read that page back when I joined. It makes sense, too, as "referral" implies new members.

heavenlyemma: I'm not sure, to be honest... but I've known it for quite a while.

Eriisa: Has it always been like that?

Brains are given for new memberships only.

http://brainking.com/en/Brains

Jules: If they couldn't be bothered to give me them when I gave my money to this site what makes you think I want them now? It should of been automatic geesh.

BIG BAD WOLF: that maybe easy for you as regards to the clock... I have several time zones to deal with .. my kids live 3 hours going the other way and I work graveyard shift.. .so I never know wheither it's day or night even when I look out the window.. lol..

My missus heavenlyemma (ID 1131) bought me 6 months membership as a Christmas present.
She's yet to get credited her brains.

Not that she hasn't got any brains

Eriisa: it has been corrected.. thanks

ScarletRose: LOL, send a message to Fencer about the brains.

I use that change ID all the time when ppl send me their membership fees.

BIG BAD WOLF: Thanks guys.. just finished it and finished updating PayPal..

I also noticed.. I wasn't credited for brains from a purchase of a friends membership back in Feb 05.. I noticed this when I was reviewing my account at Paypal and the Brains I have currently.. the dates don't match up.. months off actually.. I also should get the brains from this purchase as well.. I put this to note on the shopping basket section for notes.. Does this not get to whomever is assigned the deed of crediting brains?? LOL

I am LOL cause on one of the note sections I mentioned to please send my brains to my account! LOL Sounds funny unless you play at BK..

ScarletRose: Like Princess Alison said, if you change the UserID to your mom's, it should go to here.

Plus during the PayPal process, there are places for "notes" - you can repeat what you want there just to make sure - since they will see the notes along with the payment.

ScarletRose: I am pretty certain that if you put your mums ID in where yours is, this will pay for the membership for you mum, but dont quote me on it.

Okay.. I wish to get my mom a membership.. I noticed on the Paid Membership Link in the row of my membership it has an option to "change" and allows me to actually search for a user and replace my name with that ID.. now.. I wanna make sure if I do this my membership doesn't just transfer over to her.. but, it would allow me to go in and buy a membership.. for her..

Hopefully this isn't too confusing.. whichever way is easiest please let me know..

alanback: Me, i have a marvellous sense of humour, where did u get that from LOL

Princess Alison: Call on that marvelous sense of humor and laugh it off :)

lovelysharon: I've set my clock on BrainKing to be the same as the server/Fencer times (GMT +01:00) - that way I can easly see when the new server day will start. (If I need to know what time it is where I'm at, I can look at my clock on the wall) :-)
