Here’s a bug I have never seen before. 

Bernice, I am simply responding to a public post. Do I think Fencer is trying to steal 3 Eur from you? Absolutely not. Do I think you should be asking him privately what happened and giving him a chance to explain? Absolutely. 

Wow. Dirty laundry. Try a private message to figure your shit out. This sounds like computer operator error to me. And I’m giving my two cents because you’re posting this on a public forum. This is a private matter. Go public if you can’t resolve it in a fair manner. But it sounds like you never even tried. 

Aganju: I thought it just stopped working years ago. But since Carpe has zeros across the board and first logged in sometime in 2009, that would mean it hasn’t worked since then.  My totals are just over 7800 completed games under statistics. But I can see by my profile that I’m closing in on 21,000 completed games. 

Aganju: it hasn’t worked in years. 

cd power: I started Feb 23, 2003 and I figure I’m at least 5 years out from 1 million moves if I move daily and this site continues on.  So congrats on the 1 million moves, it’s a feat that not many have accomplished. I’m pretty certain I won’t make it there. 

Bernice: it all starts with one person and grows from there. You can choose to be that person, or not. We’re defined by what we do, not by what we say. 

Negative actions tend to have negative consequences. 

Tuesday:it is going to become a “brave new world”, And we can all thank Putin and his need for a legacy for what comes next. 

MelissaMarie: pretty sure brains are useless now. 

Marshmud: Jim, I’ll match your prize for the winning team. 

Need some help understanding the rules for Parachute Checkers. I’m not checkers player but I believe the rules say that a promoted piece must jump,  although the rules are very difficult to decipher. 

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. 

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

Bernice: I don’t think they took your card info from here. Otherwise every member would be hacked by now. Likely spyware that hacked your banking info.  But if not, then Fencer would have some explaining to do. 

Bernice:how does someone swipe money from a Brainking account? Just curious, never heard of that before. 

MrDelete: if you remember your opponent, you can look up your opponent and click on “finished games” / “finished games with me”

MrDelete: “My profile“ / “tournaments”

Crosseyed Mary: it would be great if the good people that frequent this site stay and play. It would make it even more attractive and fun to be a part of if everyone just stayed.  However,  I understand that we are all paying for a service and our expectations are high due to the services we have received in the past.  I for one have accepted the fact that “service” will basically mean essential services only and anything above that likely won’t be considered or dealt with. Brainking is more like Brainpawn now but still allows people to get together to play and have fun. 

Anyone else having trouble accessing the Team tournaments?

Seravajan: interesting variation. I agree, it would be nice to have a new game. 

Aganju: 

Anyone want to win a membership?

Happy New Year everyone. Hopefully I can say this again next year to you all!

Aganju:that’s a good point. Some people collect Achievement points whereas others have no idea what they are. 

Carpe Diem: I think sometimes opponents try to see how many moves in a day they can make. Even a losing move/game counts as a move made. 

playBunny: change the name of Brainking to something similar. The company brainking goes out of  business and a new company emerges. There would be no need to honour old memberships for anyone. Perhaps offer a little incentive or discount for black rooks that continue to want to be part of the new "brainking" 

Carnie:Pawns don't have the option to block advertisements as do paid members.

Mélusine:I use the BK app on android all the time. It's not very good, but I use it because it's fast. I can go on and on about the problems, but I guess the pros out way the cons for me because I still use it. It's good for the gammon games (except using the doubling cube). Some chess games are good, except problems occur in most variants (try scoring a pawn).

rabbitoid: one more meaningless prize tournament. Hope the turtles are happy with themselves....

Carnie:http://brainking.com/en/Tournaments?trg=12233&tri=70036

crosseyed:Goldtoken is more difficult to navigate,  but you can join tournaments, you just got to play around a bit to figure it out.

Could be some neat team tournaments with a merger or two... add some much needed new excitement and create rivalries.

Fencer: OK, thanx.

Okay, I need clarification. If I resign, then my opponent will NOT get points?

WatfordFC: I'll agree with that, even the "known" slow movers are moving daily. Heck I have a game that started last year sometime and with this new system I might even finsh it this year

Ok, I just ran the test, I left multiple boards open for over an hour and I did not receive extra points, so this modified system is definately better.

King Reza: I agree with that. I would like to see something like: points for moving (as is now) but points for every win and points for a draw and even a point for a completed game (but this may also leave the door open to someone resigning games continuously to acchieve points). As for discussion boards, I understand the motivation to get everyone involved with Brainking, but I don't know if there is a "fair" way to moderate this.

deadbunnysRfun: This is true, but... if you keep all the windows open lets say for a month straight, will one achieve max points?

but, does it still go by reading "new messages" or just spending time (one houre) looking at each board? Like I said, it wouldn't be difficult to open up every discussion board in different windows and walk away from my computer for an hour or two.

Not that I want to throw another wrench in the system, but what happens if I open up 20 different windows on different boards? Does this mean I accumulate points 20 times faster then everybody else?

02i: but.... (to play Devil's advocate) what if there were 2 or more people playing from the same computer, let's say at a college dorm or even from a family computer. Should a family only be limitted to one account?

pawnme: Give it a whirl and let us know if it works.

02i: You need to reverse the order so it displays the pages from oldest to newest.

Hmmmm, I wonder if I just received points for editing my post - lol

02i: If you set your page to only display a certain amount of messages (I can't remember how low you can go) then you can review each page separatly, rather then having all your messages on one page. You may have 100 pages to review (equaling 600 points), and that is just for one board. You may even have more then 100 pages to review! I guess you would have to view them from oldest message to newest message and set the display to a minimum. As for me, mines set for the max and I only view the newest messages because I can't be bothered to go back 3 years in time to review old messages (or at least bring the page up).
