Fencer:    Yeah!  I had a good idea.  ;)

719 moves -> AntyTryktrak (aaru vs. Lu-Tze)

aaru: I have a better record: a couple of clowning backgammon (sorry) against the site's champion turtle, 86 moves in all, match started 15. January 2007, we're in the 2nd game. It's a 21 point match. I expect to die of old age before it's through.

rabbitoid: Well, i will try to beat that in my Logik game. Been 3 months WITHOUT a move form my opponent

MadMonkey: good game, you win

rabbitoid: Leave that 21-point cloning backgammon match to me in your will!  I'll carry on.  My longest cloning game so far is a 228-mover.  Is your match using a doubling cube, at least?

wetware: Yes, but it's not being used much, so far.

Do you have to pay to get rank?... I played a game and my opponet who was also a Brain Pawn lost and they are like 1090 now or something and mine still says unrated.

BrainKing64: if I remember correctly you have to play 4 games :)

Okay, thanks alot guys... I really like this site, my first time playing turn based but I'm enjoying it.

I keep checking the Waiting Games and there is never any Reversi. When I create a game and am waiting for opponets I don't see those in the Waiting Games list either. Can I just not see my games?... Is no one else playing Reversi? I still love the site though.

BrainKing64: You won't see your own games because you can't accept them. After all you can't play against yourself. Or at least not legally.

are we to have any more added this year Fencer?
thinking it be nice to have a few new ones has your Christmas present to us all

Snoopy: If nothing goes wrong.

tell us the whole story ....

just wondering why it is over a min slow

Sorry for the Off-Topic but Interviews is still in this board's subject. I'd just like to warn all that follow the interviews about the Chrsitmas Interview Special. You can read more about it in the Interviews board. Please post any questions and comments there...

Happy Birthday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KnightFighter: You're 3 hours early, Andy. :)

Pedro Martínez: wanted to be first, lol

KnightFighter: Yea, happy birthday Fencer - you forget to change the light bulb to a birthday cake for the prize icon!

Please remember

it says payment must be recieved by April 30th 2008

Snoopy: And?

Fencer: just thought it was strange has that was 6 months ago

Snoopy: I like strange things. Furthermore, it is not worth rewriting in all 21 supported languages because the action will be over in 14 hours.

Can someone remind how long I get to pay for my bonus membership that I just placed an order for please? It is no problem if it is now but it would be nice to know if I still get some extra time to place. Thank you.

Mousetrap: www.brainking.info says it needs to be paid by the end of November.

Mousetrap: Also, I don't know if you use PayPal, but for some reason it seems to take a while for the payment to reach Brainking now. The last time I bought Brains, it took almost a week, I think! I bought another year this past Sunday (and got lucky with the red circle), and it hasn't gone through here yet. So, we know it takes at least 2 days anyways. So, keep that in mind, that it probably won't be "instant". (Of course, it could be different from Europe, and with other payment methods)

rod03801: Thank you very much. I will not leave it untill the last minute then. I will make sure I give myself a week or so.

rod03801: I think it works different from each country I got the red dot this morning, and paid, and it went through immediately for me and showed up on my acct within 5 minutes

Fencer... what is it with the fav boards? I have 3 for NO HOLES BARRED, and only one takes me to the fellowship the other two just take me to the discussion boards list.

(V): I have the same problem with "The Pit Of Hell" bugs??

rod03801: I think something is going on with PAYPAL in general as I noticed other sites that normally use it are having issues

Charles Martel: I don't know. I don't use it for much. But for a little while now, nothing has been instant when I have used it. I also used it to pay for membership at another website (in USA) and it was a few days before they received the payment as well. (And this was at least a couple months ago). And as I mentioned, I bought brains here a couple months back, and I think it was almost a week before Fencer received it.

I have wondered if it is somehow that I have my account there set up in such a way that causes it to take longer. I have used it for years though, and it seems as though it always used to be INSTANT. (Even when buying brains/memberships here at BK)

I do remember that when I bought another year this weekend (to take advantage of the "red dot") that I got a message here on the site that it produced a bad code from PayPal(or some such words) but that it isn't a problem.

It doesn't bother me so much. As long as it goes through eventually. I just wanted to warn people not to leave their payment until the last moment, if they were taking advantage of the Birthday action.

rod03801: It is still instant but only when you pay with your PayPal balance or a credit card. You used the "eCheck" option (bank transfer) which usually takes up to 5 working days to clear.

Fencer:

http://vying.org/games/hexxagon


an ataxx variant played with a choice of 2 or 3 opponents.

Fencer: Oh. I don't recall seeing any choices, there. (That doesn't mean there wasn't any, lol) I just did what I have always done, entered my log in information when taken to PayPal, and click Pay. I will have to look into it further the next time I use it.

I wonder why it never used to be a problem for me. Thank you for pointing that out.

rod03801: I had exactly the same thing happen on a different site. I'd paid instantly with PayPal for ages and then suddenly they switched me over to e-cheque and I had to wait a week for clearance and didn't receive my son's birthday present in time. I'd changed my PayPal status to "verified" at about the same time, so it might have something to do with that. I had no warning though, same as you. Hope you manage to sort it out.

rod03801: Good news! Your check is cleared.

I've had this problem for awhile, and my usually way to fix it is to just close the BrainKing site and play on other sites - but I would love if a solution could be found.

I use Firefox (most current version). I have the no-fonts, use external style ccs (which "hides" the flying dragon but is really still there), have all my JavaScript choices in settings turned off (except smiley window on mouse click).

The issue is whenever I have BrainKing up in a tab - on the main pages, reading the boards, in private message (just about everyone except actual games), my Firefox starts to use between 75-97% of the CPU. If I don't change pages, this will last anywhere between 45 - 90 seconds.

It is a simple thing for me to test - I simply close the BrainKing tab (leaving the other 8 open), and the CPU goes down to very low. Open BrainKing in a tab again - BOOM, CPU pegged.

This has been a pain lately since I've hooked up a second monitor to my PC, I'm currently doing a lot more work - like currently a large batch job on pictures (normally can resize/watermark 1 picture every second - when BrainKing is up, it is down to about 1 every 20-30 seconds), plus I watching a movie. (normally works perfectly, but when BrainKing is up, the picture will stop and usually I keep hearing the sound and the picture just won't move)

Again, when BrainKing is closed - everything works perfectly. (or if BrainKing is open but I've let some time go by 45-90 seconds), but usually I'm done reading a page by then, so when I switch - BOOM, starts over again.

The only thing I can think it is - is the dragon that "flys" across the screen.... since I think that normally takes 45-90 seconds. Even though I have it not to be shown on my screen through my external style, the browser still loads it.

Oh yea, my request.

Can there be a setting option to remove the dragon so it won't even load? You allow us to remove almost all the other JavaScript items from BrainKing, but not this one - and I know it probable isn't a problem for a lot of others, but for some reason the BK JavaScript stuff has always caused me speed issues.

Thanks.

coan.net: the dragon loads in 'no fonts'?

nodnarbo: I look at page source, and it is still in there. (so might not show on the screen - but still is loaded.)

.... and again, it might not be the dragon causing the issue - might be another Brain King issue.... I'm just guessing it is the dragon since on game pages, where the dragon is not in the page source - I don't seem to have the issue.

coan.net: I use Firefox too.. and recently updated to the latest version.. it is all basic.. My problem has been.. when I get on the chat boards.. my page lags there for one to two minutes before I can even scroll down.. and to write in a text.. like replying to you is even more frustrating..  most times it stops responding.. and then I am having to close the browser.. Anyone know how to fix this.. I'm about ready to uninstall Firefox..

ScarletRose: The usual. Unplug your modem and give it a minutes rest, use a window washer, a registry cleaner, cookie manager and possibly combofix.

... Unplugging the modem and giving it a few minutes rest usually works.

ScarletRose: that use to happen to me alot with
firefox 2 in the end i just removed it and found another browser to use

Not sure if it is a bug or not... I recently became a Bishop membership but when I go to one certain fellowship, it says i can read or write on this board? I talked to the fellowship owner, but they said its not on their end, please help? Thanks!

Czuch: A fellowship board moderator can go into edit, and change the "Change access level" read & write levels to what they need to.... and make sure it includes Bishops.

coan.net: Thanks, thats what i thought, I didnt say that specifically, but they said they checked everything... I will ask them again!

BTW, I have a question for you on the mcain obama thread board....
