Board for everybody who is interested in BrainKing itself, its structure, features and future.
If you experience connection or speed problems with BrainKing, please visit Host Tracker and check "BrainKing.com" accessibility from various sites around the world. It may answer whether an issue is caused by BrainKing itself or your local network (or ISP provider).
1) There is a setting (on your settings page - link found on left (or top, with row layout)) that allows you to put the game board at the top of the page. This could fix your first problem :-)
2) I have asked Fencer about automatic passing when there is no legal move, but he was against it - though the opponent should still be able to see the board so they do not get a board that is completely different from how they left it (when multiple passes are necessary) and so they are still able to send a message with the 'pass' move.
Hi Fencer. I'm trying out your site and overall like what I see. I'd like to make two comments, though, that you may already know but are a little annoying. First, every time I play a die I have to move the screen in order to see the whole board again. Second, when the opponent's inner board is filled and they have no potential to move off the bar, you still have to wait for them to open the game rather than coming back to your next roll automatically. Ant way to avoid that? Thanks

another gammon variation, actually a variant on race, is called Greek Backgammon (quite possibly know by other names) It is essentially the same as race excepting when you hit your opponents pip, it is not sent to the bar but is held there for as long as you leave the pip covering it in place. Its a lot of fun don't know how difficult it would be to set up. I have never seen it on another website.

hi fencer..great site..great game variations to try..the site is not slow on webtv..2 good features..I tried to send you an idea I had by email if this is a dp..ignore one.how about "crowded backgammon"..a variation..setup just the standard board..but with an extra 5 blots for each players on the bar at the start.only rule change = on a players move..removal of blot from bar is optional,can move a blot not on the bar..what do you think?
also - provisional BKR's in italics are hard to differentiate from BKR's esp on webtv..maybe a diff text color would be easier for us all.would not be a dificult prg change.is it worth the trouble,all welcome to comment.
O čem je toďten plk: backgammon race,blondes & bars,an idea to share
does anyone else love backgammon race?
is it true blondes like to play backgammon because it has a bar?(gee,just thought of that)
only kidding,no chauvinist here.most blondes I know are clever.
old backgammoon players never die,they just get blotted out.
does anyone else love scrabble or upwords?
I am planning a webpage on my website(see link below)with links & comments about good games (esp board & card games).there will be a sub heading for links-games-accessible on webtv
also-games-word games
if anyone knows any,please comment(or any clever blondes) - steve

why is it when i click on other peoples profiles i see all the tourneys they are in but when i click on my own profile i dont see any tourneys..? i would like to see mine there too see how many i was crazy enough to join at once...haha
I thought as much :( :( oh well I guess you cant have it all....What I cant understand is, if it is that expensive how can playsite offer it for free? They do have some sites (not scrabble) that you can play for money but I discovered that the money sites are all only links and arent Playsite. thanks anyway :)
Since your very busy working on all the requests, maybe there is some player who could code a BK version thats similler to the original but with enough changes to the rules & gameplay that it could legally be considered a game in its own right.!
Another option could be to offer the original Scrabble as a separate "Premium Service". If it proved popular, could well cover the cost of purchasing a licence.
is it possible to get scrabble on here, or is there something to do with copyright or even programming problems that would prevent it. I adore scrabble and go to another game site to play but would much rather play it here if that is at all possible Fencer :)
Fencer in my anti backgammon game against Debi, i am getting the above "Internal server error"
Because of this i have not been able to find a game number for you.
Hitman: Fixed.
Other errors: Yes, I've noticed them too. But they cause no harm [except the error message]. I will fix them ASAP, it is a database driver bug.
i erased all my msgs..if i loss i loss..if ya want to send the game number to fencer and he can reinstate it..i had too many..so it dont matter to me now...the istes up and working..so ill just go on and nto worry about them
After no access from any which direction yesterday....this site is working perfectly today. I have my fingers crossed for you Fencer....a big Thank you!!!
Whoops! At last I've found out why Eddie and Molly and Rabbitoid couldn't log in. One more auto-fixing code developed and looks like it works :-)
I need a long sleep now.
