Marshmud: I keep saying that Russian Brainking players aren't responsible about the war in Ukraine. Why to ban them ? If tomorrow the government of my country attacks the USA, will you banish me from your f/s, although I'm against war ? If tomorrow my country attacks another country and put people who complain about it in prison or tortures them, I'll say nothing because I'll be afraid for myself and my family and I'll think first to them. I suppose it's the same for the Russian population. It's easy to say that you have to demonstrate against a repressive regime when you're sitting in your chair in the safety of your home. 3 years ago, in France, there were very violent demonstrations (yellow vests), not very far from my home (less than 1 km). When you see the tear gas fumes and you smell the mustard which stings your eyes and throat very strongly and that the demonstrators break and burn everything on their way, I guarantee that you're scared. Don't judge too quickly, it's not so simple. And also look at the foreign policy of your country which is also friendly to countries with totalitarian regimes like Saudi Arabia for example : there, before 2018, being a woman driving a car was considered a crime. Did you, as American, denounce this or do something about it ? while the Usa is friend with Saudi Arabia ? As I say, the action of a citizen is limited in front of a powerful government.

Marshmud: A Russian reporter went on live TV in Russia with a banner objecting to the war in Ukraine she was arrested and I sure the future she will disappear and no doubt be murdered. You cannot accuse ALL Russians for what their leader is doing. Why should Russian people that play games in this site be expected to discuss about what is going on in the Ukraine? Not many people bother with the discussion boards anyway, they prefer to just play their games. The truth why Putin is attacking Ukraine is because he did not want Ukraine joining NATO. To say they are Nazi supporters is rubbish. The Ukrainians suffered in WW2. There might be a small group that could be Nazi supporters but you get that in ALL countries.
Mélusine: I agree with you Melusine. Why should a minority of people that use this site suffer because their leader is a very dangerous man. If people speak up about the war in the Ukraine they get punished or even murdered. Also I wonder how many Russian players buy a membership.
Geomomo: I think the russian population doesn't want people killed. People don't always agree with the decisions of their leaders, but they have to deal with. For me, there's no benefit to ban a russian player from playing here on Brainking. This is useless.
Geomomo: It would be a petty move since Brainking is a tiny website with few active players. If Russia were to nuke the West then Russia and Russians would be completely wiped out so it wouldn't be necessary.
Question? Is it not time to ban all Russian players from this site because of their countries aggression in Ukraine or is their Ruples more important than common humanity.
yurkin: I now play a lot on Board Game Arena (BGA). I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for classic games like chess or backgammon, but it's the best place for modern board games. Think Carcassonne, Azul, 7 Wonders, Splendor, and other games like that.
Hello again. I used to play lots of board games online before but stopped for some time and can't remember the names of the websites I used to play besides bug cafe, gold token and brain king. Can you name some some board games websites you're also playing on?
Geomomo: Sadly it is the people in charge who are to blame. I really do hope Ukraine are able to fight back with not too many people dying in the attempt to survive and keep their country. I just wish more could be done to help Ukraine. I donate money every now and again when I can. Even if if it only a small amount please everyone donate some money to the Ukraine charities. We have to be thankful that we don't live in a country like Russia.
MelissaMarie: and you can try by messaging Fencer. Maybe he is willing to look through your history and see that they are honestly won. Unfortunately, that's a common pattern in the world that a small number of cheaters destroy something for a large number of honest users.

MelissaMarie: I thought I read somewhere a couple of months ago that you could no longer use brains to buy memberships because too many people were cheating
