Liquid, how are you? as I said, the bandwidth problems are on my end. Currently, I am at home. But, yesterday I was in the office and I was indeed missing some graphics.
Most of the time I connect to BK while at my office. We have a T1 connection to the Internet. Unfortunately it serves about 90 people. Also, to get to it, I have to go through our local network. I have found when My office's network is bogged down, every site works but Brainking. Well, all of the text on BK work, but no graphics. I know the bandwidth problems are on my end, but it seems BK still doesn't like it.
Been having lots of problems lately getting into this site.. usually when I am on here.. I notice my graphics dropping off.. and then the site boots me out.. anyone else having this problem..
O čem je toďten plk: Re: Problems getting on Brain King
Bluefin: i had no problems .. only about 4 times a page didnt load .. but then i closed my browser, opened a new one, and could get into brainking nicely again :)
I think this subject has been about talked to death by now eh? If anybody created a tourney with a maharajah prize (no matter what the details were) they'd be mentioned at server news. Hey, why not give it a try?
Luisifer: If you want to run a tournament for just czech people, you go for it. I thank you and the sponsers for supporting BK. Maybe the people who are objecting could sponser a tournement for English speaking people, or even if they wish just for Americans. That way the site gets even more sponsership and everyone benefits even more as Fencer will be closer to getting the new servers.
Czuch Chuckers: Are You sure that every czech member use the brainking with czech language version? I think that not! Someone can use f.e. english version of windows (on firm computer) where is not czech language suported. Do You think that so people want to see zig-zag only because he is czech and so he dont use english version??? Lets try it ...
Czuch, are you saying that the issue is primarily that a "server news" module was spawned touting the contributions of the sponsors?
If so, in the grand scheme of things, I don't think it matters.
Other people have held tournaments where something was offered, by default, to the exclusion of everyone other than the participants.
Since the tournament creators make the rules, and offer the incentives for playing, the rest of the site should most likely just accept the conditions.
As far as I can see, it is not a "language" issue, it is not a prize offering issue, and you are just upset that it made it under the guise of "server news" in the English language.
I don't think the subsequent commotion was worth it after you have pointed out what we already were well aware of... so how about wave a truce flag, smoke a peace pipe, and let it go?
ANTICHRIST: All the locomotion, since you asked, is it is a Czech tournament created by a Czech for Czech players only..... why then promote it on the English speaking version of brainking news? Of what importance is it to anyone who is not Czech?????
Not to worry, I have taken the server news off of my main page for now, so not to be bothered by it anymore :)
Rose: Right! But its pity that it could not be set as option of tournament. As I can set a BKR of players, member level of players etc. .... it could be good to have an option for setting which countries could sign in. F.E. (in tournament without prize - for better imagination for people which are quiet till the tournament isnt with big prize) some tournamennts for single countries and every winner from each country will invited to the next level of tournament. (sry for my english - I hope that You've got it)
Luisifer: In all honesty I dont think you need to keep explaining yourself. You set up a tourney and chose who you wanted in it. Just like all of us can do at any time. And have!! many ppl toss out those they dont like or dont want to play .. This is no differnt. These folks set up a tourney, chose who they wanted in it and that should be the end of it.

ughaibu: When anybody makes represive stuff, so He can want to reduce number of players. The same it is when someone make tournament only for rooks etc.....
When anybody makes repressive stuff under the cloak of whatever, there is no way that I can express the position from Aristotle in terms allowed by the moderators. So, just accept that your thinking is thousands of years defunct.
eagle eye: Sorry to say that but when somebody makes global conclusions about the whole site based on one tournament, it makes me only laugh :-) And if you don't want to start a war here, please don't bring this subject back.
