MadMonkey: yes it is a very hard sight to find your way around, so I dont play many games.....

Hrqls: I will have a look when I get a moment

Even I am playing more & more at Goldtoken now, they have Cribbage and I love that game ....sadly their site could do with a complete re-design

MadMonkey: Have you tried jijbent.nl ?
I like it there .. it's in dutch .. but i think there is en english and german version as well

БОРИС: Yes, 4 of the same game type :)

MadMonkey: большое спасибо вам! Сыграю 4 игры и посмотрю что изменится

БОРИС: hmmmmm So you can not click the Accept in the Waiting Games area.??

The only limitation that I can remember is that as a Pawn you can play only 20 games maximum (and you only have 3).

I can not think of another reason, I will see if I can find another Pawn to have a look, or maybe Fencer can work it out

(edit by me....)

I just thought, maybe the game you are trying to 'Accept' is only for players with a BKR game rating.

You will get a provisional BKR after 4 games & an established BKR after 25 :)

Walter Montego: в разделе ОЖИДАНИЕ ИГРЫ есть вызовы игроков, которые они создали и я не могу принять эти игры. кнопка ПРИНЯТЬ не срабатывает. я сам создал вызов на игру и его приняли. может это потому, что я только начал играть и для новичков есть какие-то ограничения?

Walter Montego: I think he is having trouble accepting the games in the waiting games area.

БОРИС: I'm not sure what you mean, Boris. Are you trying to send a message to a member with a game posted in the waiting area?

всем привет! я только зарегистрировался...почему я не могу принять вызовы других игроков в разделе ОЖИДАНИЕ ИГРЫ?

MadMonkey: python is the asiest,but it has its limitations.
C++ is hard,but you learn to do everything.
java is a good middle ground..and its fast.

IDamian: we all do that new or old hahahahaha

Being new I confused myself...

Is it more than 5 minutes? C6 seems stuck. in that I should be at 3 but I am at 4...

CleverHunk: There are lots of us who love this site & have helped over the years. Many of us are Moderators of Discussion boards, and create tournament BUT it is the programming side of things, Fencer looks after all that.
There are lots of issues that need solving, i.e. brains system (that we were talking about), the tournament creation system need an overhaul, etc.... and of course creating new games, or even variants of ones we have. That is the BIG problem
(It's a shame the site isn't written in Python, I have been learning that the last 6 months of lockdown lol)

CleverHunk: Hi there, thanks for that and I have been a member there for years but find it very hard to get around....Thanks for your input

MadMonkey:
I am newly returned,long story.
this is not the only site in which the creator has not the time to work on it.or maybe has lost interest,or is unwell.who am I to say.
but are there those willing & able to help?speak up,maybe fencer will allow this.

Bernice:
goldtoken=not a bad gamesite,people are nice.
best feature is a few good word games.
and you can create a photo album there,nice feature.

MadMonkey: gifts work too. Anyone can gift brains to others; that's how I got started with my stack.

Fencer: ahhh ok Filip, not a problem, i couldnt remember what it did anyway

So apart from free to enter Tournaments, there is no way to get Brains these days ?

MadMonkey: It seems I forgot to remove that. Sorry.

I have just been asked by a new member (nice to see I must say) about this:-

20 Brains for free - it can be a good start for everyone. By completing a simple process of easy tasks, you will be awarded with 20 Brains and you can start to explore all other possibilities with no actual investment.

Is this still valid...?, and what do they have to do, I have had a quick look and cannot find any instructions

Bernice: Ah, OK, thank you.

seldom: Aww. When you gotta go you gotta go.

Marshmud: Poor Geo

Carnie: ah so.....LOL

moistfinger: gold token....it is a game site.

Marshmud: What is GT? Thanks.

Carnie: I agree Brainking is a superb site. Its not about the site, its the people. GT can be hard to navigate. I hated it at first but the energy among the players is bountiful. Most of the players I play daily at GT are current BK players or past players. I like it for the card games and cribbage and the variants of hangman.

Carnie: things are stagnant here. No new games, no new faces, no new challenges. The people that I knew here are gone. Brainking has almost come to a complete stop. 

Carnie: I am on GT now as well (been there a week), but I wouldn't say I have moved there (They have Cribbage, and love that game lol)

By design, Brainking is by far a superior site (in my opinion), all options are on your left or right, and there are many options in your settings for changing things the way you want them to be. Goldtoken is just a mess, that needs a re-design, but it does what its there for, you play games, can have a chat, and it has lots of games brainking does not.

Sadly since Liquid left and Fencer lost interest brainking has lost its appeal. As Marshmud says, some things have got out of control, and only Fencer has the power to sort these things out. So if he is not about or doesn't have time they just go unchecked, people get fed up, and leave.......

There are things that I am sure wouldn't take too much to sort out or put right here, but we have had no new features or games to keep the interest going, BUT these things take time, and I suppose the interest in the first place to do it, and as Fencer said a few years back he has neither of these now......and pursues other interests.

It is his site, and if it falls apart no one but him can do anything about it.....a bit like having your car, if you do not keep it healthy and looked after, it to will fall apart.

It is a shame, and if Fencer was to show an interest again, I, for one, would be the first to get behind him

Living in hope.....

p.s. And if you do feel the urge Fencer, could we have a Like button for posts please, or a thumbs up / down, that would be cool

Carnie: I too have moved to GT. I'm here for my 20 years of play and the friends I made. In fact clandey, BGBedlam, Beach and I have a club called the BK gang, and we offer free two month memberships for free to new members. So if you want to check it out for 2 months, ask any of us. At BK I only help keep the team games going, but as support dwindles down that wont be in operation soon. No more Ponds. The tournament board spammed, now porn spam, no fun here, but my friends are priceless at BK except for Geomomo.

Bernice: I’m a 2003 but starting to wind things down here and move over to GT. 

Bernice: Have no fear, I am still here

OMG...I was just wondering how many are paying customers from all the real oldies that started and registered up till end of 2002....I looked at the first 30 pages and there wouldnt be a dozen that are stil paid up members.....

Bernice:

Very oblivable. Thank you.

CONGRATS on attaining your age to retire from games...you will be missed by all

seldom:

Finally Seldom is seen :) May your chaos be only slightly manageable :)

I would like to thank "whathefuh4", (Mary Lou and Natasha), for the kind words. It certainly has been a pleasure playing with such wonderful people --- but the time has come to hang up the old finger. Time to hit the road. Take off the old cleats. Find a new strawberry patch; but while you can lead a horse to water, you can't make him lie on his back and float. So I'm almost just going to say it certainly has been a pleasure playing with such wonderful people.

Been thinking about playing left-handed under a different pseudonym. Something like "gazortinplatt" or something like that. ~~~say no more~~~ "Live long and prosper"

Your friend,

seldom

Fencer: That was kool!

Fencer: good stuff

MadMonkey: LOL! I thoroughly enjoyed the queen's gambit and loved the main character, such brilliant actress.

Dice Cheater: Yeah sorry, I binged watched them all in one day, so it just seems like a film

MadMonkey: Are you talking about the Netflix mini-series? I didn't know they'd made a film

MadMonkey: I was fascinated by that kid....he was absolutely unbelievable
