Hrqls: here's a 2nd reason, I have been asked to join many fellowships that are in a foriegn language that I can't read, so I don't read the boards, but, they do send me group pm's about tournements that I do join

BIG BAD WOLF: agreed, I don't think that tourneys are a problem

it seems to me that 2 completed games a day should be counted with the same opponent since many people play 2 games with alternating colors, especially in tournements

Pbarb2: it's the contest that showed up on your main page july 1st. you can win a 1,2 or 3 year membership or 200 brains

1) Good news! Thanks to Eriisa we could reactivate the PayPal option, so there are no more problems to use PayPal for any payments on BrainKing.

2) July Action! Let us try something different this month. In order to test what our site is capable of (and to give our users another chance to compete), July is the Month of Action Points. If this test period produces good results, the system of points can continue in the following months as well. And let us start with some attractive prizes:
1. place: 3 years Brain Rook membership
2. - 3. place: 2 years Brain Rook membership
4. - 5. place: 1 year Brain Rook membership
6. - 10. place: 200 Brains
Please read the rules and other information here. As you can see, the system works separately for paying members and pawns, which means there will be 20 prizes to award. It is also possible to give the prize to another user if you win and do not want to use it.
And, of course, suggestions to improve this system are welcome.

Czuch Czuckers: thx for giving me a new post to read. 2 points

pawnme: if you read on your settings page about auto-refresh, it says that auto-refresh works on main page or game page, it will not work on db pages

Fencer: ooooh, that's twice I beat you to the punch

anastasia: fencer ammended it to points given for a board once an hour

gambler104: it's in your profile

pawnme: nope

5 is the minimum, mine is set for 50

02i: if you open up multiple windows, you can read all messages once for each window

02i: he used multiple pages

LionsLair: it's only a flaw if people set it up to be. otherwise they would only get 6 points no matter how many messages there are on the board.
by the way, I'm setting the over-under at 200,000

it's simple, set messages per page to minimum and set it to read oldest messages first, I had over 4,000 messages alone in flame pit, that would have added up to quite a lot

plaintiger: open a second window, set it on gen chat, or flame pit and turn on auto refresh for a short period of time

Antje: why not try the American Express money order, it should have a inexpensive fee

Antje: Select your payment type:
Wire transfer (only in Czech Republic)
If you can make a money transfer directly to our bank account, take advantage of this fastest way of payment.
Bank transfer via MoneyBookers
This method allows you to make a money transfer in more than 30 countries using local bank transfer with minimal fees. It requires to create a personal account on MoneyBookers.com. The basic amount is defined in EUR but you can pay in lots of other currencies using the current exchange rate.
Wire transfer (international)
If you have neither a credit card nor a PayPal account, you can make an international money transfer directly to our bank account. This operation usually takes 5-7 business days and the price is a little higher due to additional bank fees on our side.
American Express Money Order
If your bank provides this service, you can ask it to make this kind of cheque (American Express Money Order) for me (Filip Rachunek) as a recepient. Then send it via a standard mail in an envelope (ask me for my postal address) and when it arrives, our local American Express office will give me the money.
Money order
You can also send cash money in an envelope if you are not satisfied with any previous ways of payment.

I believe that fencer has also said that he is looking for a new way to pay also.
I wouldn't believe that about the Americans, this is a business

Fencer: thanks

Fencer: I have ponds that are 4,5 and even 8 hours behind when the next round should have started

Is game time suspended? at least for ponds?

BerniceC: also you can change the amount of messages per page, drop it down to about 20 or so and there will be less to load

Czuch Chuckers: it should be pointed out that the ratings would still be the same just hidden until a game is finished

Vikings: never mind, I figured it out, I must have inadvertantly clicked on "game" on my main page

is anybody elses waiting games out of order as compared to their settings? I have mine set for time left/ascending but it being sorted by game type, and has for a couple of days now

Andre Faria: there is another way, or at least there was before I told fencer. I haven't checked it to see if it was fixed

Rose: it's been reported in the mod squad

anastasia: never thought of that

mrloupcity: and I'll bet that you thought that you would retire while in your sixties,, I had my last at age 44, congratulations

Dolittle: by letting their membership run out, but they can't do anything

mook53lhd: Silkwood has not been on the site for the last 5 months

Hrqls: I believe that your post will go below the post that you replied to which was your own post, unless someone else were to reply to that message first

Pedro Martínez:
thanks

Pedro Martínez: maybe there is something that I am missing, if the reply button was hit, wouldn't the header in this case say re: show thread unless someone erased it and changed it?

BIG BAD WOLF: I must be thick in the head tonight, shouldn't they be different treads since they have different headers

I wonder if it has a small bug, I just clicked on this tread and it showed two more post that weren't related

BIG BAD WOLF: true

Walter Montego: "everyone is aware" means that the mods are aware and thats what this is really about

welcome to the wonderfull PC world

Jim Dandy: then it should be called multiple point match and not multiple game match

Mary Jo: it is using a fisher clock which means that you have 1 day total to play the whole game with a 3 hour bonus, to make it simple for example if you wait 8 hours to make your move you would have 16 hours left plus 3 hours for your bonus for a total of 19 hours to make your next move, if you wait 5 hours when it is your next turn to move you ould have 14 hours left plus 3 for a total of 17 hours to make your next turn,. these games can catch up with you when you have to work or sleep so its a good idea to play these games first when you are on-line to add up the bonus time

playBunny: probably have to be a knight and experiment

Salkkuman: Pond games with negative numbers will cycle at aprox. 5 mins. after the hour

Fencer: I'm not conplaining but rather confused, when I go to the tournement page, It says all tournements with no option for signed, when I go to my profile and click signed it says none, on ponds it shows available ponds, and on team tournaments(the only one that makes sense) is says none

plaintiger: wouldn't that be tournaments that you have signed up for but haven't started yet

Fencer: now I see it, thanks

thanks, I wonder why?

can someone explain to me as to why it's only showing one finished game here instead of 10 http://brainking.com/en/Profile?u=19090&p=1
