Fencer: Sometimes when I go to HOME discussion boards, the page loads badly too. The width gets bigger than normal and I have to scrole to right to see the rest of the page. And sometimes I see two pages printed onto eachother. I see the texts of both mixed up and unreadable. I'm using firefox too.
Princess Alison: I really wonder why nobody's heart ever goes to those 1000+ poor people of Iraq who have recently died in missle attacks and other explosions and also because of lack of food.
I have created a fellowship named Who is God and what qualities does he have? and I hereby invite all of you to join it for discussions about God. No holy books are going to be used. We'll speak just from ourselves and based on our feelings, and of course logic. So, if you ar einterested, ask for an invite and I'll gladly invite you to it. I don't want to start sending invitations to everyone. If you are interested, feel free to join. We'll decide on what and where to start from, after a few have joined.
playBunny: how about bold italic? And, for the size and color, please tell me how I should write the code and what I want the code to have effect on. For example if I want to type Reza with a font sized 20 and in Red, what should I type?
I don't know if it's the right place to ask, but: How do I use italic fonts here on BrainKing and is there a way to change the size too? or maybe the color?
Andersp: It's just my personal opinion but each one of those 14760 registred users should have payed attention to the server news had they been interested in the site and the games they were playing.
bumble: Fencer has already asked me to do that. I sent him the log-in page translated into farsi but Fencer said the system doesn't recognize the letters so I stopped working on it.
Czuch Chuckers: Exactly our point. If this can be included in the user agreement that all using a program MUST admit it, then you can fearlessly brows the profiles for those who haven't admitted anything. It's better than alway shaving this in mind that the user against you is using a program. What do others think?
Czuch Chuckers: perhaps it's not related and off topic, but I too think that dice in backgammon ar enot roled fairly. I mean when my opponent needs only 2,2 he roles that. when the only role that I need to lose is 6.1 I role that. When the only role my opponent needs to have to capture one of my pieces and get ahead for 50 or 60 points is 5.4, he roles that!
Czuch Chuckers: OK. So it isn't for the benefit of the users but for the benefit of the owner?
In either case, the fact that a player is using a program and IS LETTING others know doesn't hurt either the users or the owner of this site. If players don't want to play him, they don't and if they do, they will play him. so actually Sumerian will not be able to get even a rating if others don't play with him. And in this special case of the tourny, I think he again hasn't done anything wrong. The creator of the tourny has asked him to join knowing the fact that he is using a program and it makes everything clear. The prize giver is free to choose the one he wants to give the prize too. In the tourny no one gets bothered or hurt. They are just games.
ustica: LOl! be sure you'll get your prize if you win the session you're playing in. That's what EdTrice says. If he's a man of his word, then you'll get that $50 if you win the session you're playing in.
Gothic Chess $500 1st Prize, Free to enter (Gothic Chess - show rules) Creator: EdTrice
As we close the books on another profitable year, we will once again have a free tournament, this time with more prize money. $500 1st prize, $300 2nd prize, and $50 for each "section winner" that is a Knight or Rook before the tournament begins. Players who take 1st or 2nd prize also get the $50 they win in the section. Section prizes will be paid out once the finalists are determined. If any draws are agreed to before 25 moves are played in any game that results in a prize being awarded, the TD reserves the right to award that prize to someone else. I will not be playing in this event.
Back to the list of game types
Czuch Chuckers: EdTrice isn't playing in that tourny and we all know EdTrice and Sumerian ar enot the same person. So the worst is that Ed Trice wants to willingly giv ehis money to Sumerian!
Well, I'm sorry I am the cause of all this. I really didn't mean to bring up these things. I still think If EdTrice is giving out the prize, it is his own choice and matter whom to giv eit to. And since he has been aware of the fact that Sumerian is playing with his engine, it is OK if Sumerian wins the tourny. Yes. If I was giving the prize, it would be far too different. Right now, I have no right to complain how others are going to spend their money. My appologies to you Sumerian for all the trouble I have cause you. It's the first time my word brings others problems and I'm really sorry for that.
Czuch Chuckers: LOL! I too think you're being a little bit cruel to him. Pitty Mr. Trice isn't here to tell us why he has agreed to let Sumerian play in the tourny. In fact since he is the one who wants to spend the $500, it's OK if he wants to give it to Sumerian. We really have no right to complain. I complained because I didn't know EdTRice himself invited Sumerian to the tourny. I really think it is O.K to use programs IF AND ONLY IF you let others know and that's something Sumerian has done. So here, I'm quite in favour of him :-)
