How many players cause the websit to go over 100%? (or is it due to something else?).

Bernice, if Fencer did that then the friends list would be almost the same as the on-line opponents, and I for one have so many games going, if only a quarter of my opponents were online, it would take up a lot of my page to list them all as friends.
Its only one click to see who is online that you are playing. A lot of my friends here I dont have games going with all the time, and I think its nice to have them seperate. (Just my personal opinion!)

Argomento: Fencer ....sorry
Now i know this isnt important...BUT

is there anyway you can automatically put all players that im playing with as FRIENDS ON LINE...
when you are playing it would be nice to see who your playing against without having to go to "WHO IS ON LINE".....just a thought

This website cause me lots of problems! It keeps freezing up on me and I have to re-boot my computer a lot... then I get a web page saying the server is maxed out. How can that be, when there's only 57 players online???
And I ask Why, too ?

Argomento: Re: A Born Loser
Tony, there have been many discussions about this on many different boards. And there is a very mixed opinion about it. I try to respect the way people play (and finish!) a game. Just finish the game and try to avoid that player in future, posting insults about people who play to the end will benefit nobody. :o)

Argomento: Re: Kevin's Membership Competition
Thank you Kevin! That was so generous of you! I am so excited!! Since the other two have shared their wonderful entries I will do the same.

Why I deserve a membership.......

1) I LOVE this site and love playing games here.

2) I am a stay-at-home mom/foster mom and playing here keeps my sanity.

3) Finally, and most importantly, having a membership would mean I would have more games and more chances of beating my brother (Big Bad Wolf).

Thanks for offering this membership to those of us who couldn't possibly win one!!

Argomento: Re: entries
and here is mine entry ...


browsing to the zillion messages on the discussion board, i found yours. What drew my attention? Let me explain why the words "...why you deserve a membership" popped out in this this overkill in messages

-why: interesting ... its this kind of questions that haunted human kind for ages. I decided to read on
-you: who? me? Uh-ow, it is getting personal. now i certainly want to read on
-deserve: lazy as i am, i dont like the change in tone in this question. Dilemma: should i read on, or shouldn't I? I decided to give it a gow
-a: not much information here. Again faced with the dilemma: should I, or shouldn't I? The choise is harder this time, given the low gain I had making it the previous time. Going to make a cup of coffee to think things over...
ready, and I have decided: i'll read on.
-membership: huh? excuse me? on this cool site? What a twist. this made the question very interesting... hard to find an answer though... maybe i could try to prove to be worthy by trying to win the tournament?

Ok, if that's what you want :-) Here is Bernice's entry. (And I'm glad you're excited!)



There was a young man named Kevin,
Who ultimately must have come from heaven,
He has offered a lot,
to people who have not,
Any means of getting real even.

Im sorry but I just couldnt resist the opportunity of writing a stanza or two on this.
I hope you arent offended.
I dont have a real reason for not being a member apart from the fact I am a disabled pensioner and can't afford the $50AUS.
What you are doing is just the greatest thing :)
Good luck in life young man....you will go far :)

I thought about this before.. but would you support the site in creating a "Prayer Request Discussion Board" ??

Since Patty is ill and several other people in here need serious prayers, I cannot hold this back; but bring it forward to your attention.

I hope you'll consider it and create one :-)

Thanks alot. May God bless you in every way, eachday!

The first double entrance is already discovered. Herculesbeast and Savage are the same and even play eachother to get one on the first place of a ranking list. He admitted it to me when I asked him about it. I am not entering this tournament, it takes to long to play a tourney with more then 100 players

Argomento: Thanks, harley and Kevin
I appreciate your clarifying those points, and there is no doubt that the Rook membership is the best overall value. I was considering Knight only to limit myself; that is, 50 games is a reasonable cap, and if I went much over that then other personal endeavors would suffer.

But, I really just wanted to make sure I could enter a tournament (provided enough game slots) of a particular type, assuming of course I was not already in one of that type. Your posts cleared that up.

1. Giugno 2003, 12:18:58
harley 
Also, Pioneer, it does state that it is when the tournament finishes, rather than when the individual finishes his/her part of the tournament.

But as a knight, you could still not join every game type of tournament, because you would still have limited game slots! If you are considering membership I would highly recommend rook, you would be able to join unlimited tournaments and have unlimited games... and you would also be able to create your own tournament, and fellowship. The benefits are far greater for a rook.

I will soon be starting a tablut tournament for pawns with a 6 months rook membership as a prize. I will allow plenty of time to sign up as I know some pawns will have to wait for tournaments to finish. You could enter that! As far as I know there are no tablut masters among the pawns (and only a handful among rooks! lol) so everyone stands a good chance of winning.

1. Giugno 2003, 08:51:25
Kevin 
As a pawn you can join ONE tournament of any game at a time. When your section in that tournament finishes, you can join another.

As a rook, you have unlimited tournament entry.

As a knight, you would be allowed to join one tournament of each game type. That includes Halma 8x8 and Halma 10x10 as different games, so you could join about 45 tournaments at a time if you wanted to (i'm not sure exactly how many games there are now).

Argomento: A question of privileges
Not sure if this is the correct forum instead of the tournament board, but...

If I get a Knight membership, how many different tournaments can be entered? The site literature says one of each kind of game, but I am wondering what exactly constitutes a "kind of game". For instance, if in a Halma8 tournament, could I also get into one for Halma10?

These would seem to be different games, although when I finished my first tournament as a Pawn I was fooled into thinking I could join another tournament, but to my dismay I discovered that I had to wait for the other players' games to finish!?

I have no objection to the site's policies, but I think they could be more explicit.

Argomento: Buckwheat
WOW. I know I can be a bit of a negative NElly sometimes, but It loosk like we have found someone with a worse attitude that I have. At least I make some effort to be constructive and make suggestions.

Initially, I thought Buckwheat was using his complaints as a reason to decline invites, because he likes his 2500 rating and knows he won't keep it if he accepts invites. That still may be the case, but now it seems more likely that he just finds anything to complain about and can't see a good thing if there is the smallest drawback to it.

Buckwheat-- Running a site costs money. SOme of us have decided to contribute to the cause, while others have decided to complain. Maybe you are saying "Hey, it is not my job to subsidize a site, they are a business and they have to give me something before I pay up."

To this I have two responses.

1) In the real world, one has to PAY before receiving any service most or all of the time, and

2) although gaming sites are a buit different in that the gaming site must provide something to the customer BEFORE the customer will pay, I would argue that Brain King has provided plenty so far.

Just to make sure that everybody understand, as Kevin pointed out, the $250 award is not sponzored by BrainKing.com, it will be paid by Ed Trice himself. So it could go "back to the site" only if I win the tournament ;-)

Argomento: Re:
Buckwheat, I have no idea, nor do I care what your W/L record is. You make a good point that the $250 should go back into the site, but you also mention that it's not a huge amount of money (to some people, or, say, compared to buying a new server). Besides, the chess tournament is just a fun thing to do, so why criticize it?

Too bad you have trouble accessing the site sometimes. Why not try a little constructive action, like sending money (of which you obviously have a great abundance).

I know I didnt agree with Dmitri as to how many unpaid members are crying cheapskates, and thats irrevelent now, but the point he made is true concerning some and buckwheat is a prime example.
