pawnme: I agree completely. I suggested the point for a win to Fencer and haven't heard back yet. I might like to see a cap on points for discussion boards at 60 for viewing and maybe create something for posting.
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.
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.
gambler104:I think he means different boards. Instead of going to them one by one, going to all of them at once. By putting the refresh time on one hour and opening all the boards in different tabs or windows, you can be real fast!
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?
I'm a bit dense sometimes..sorry,lol...for the boards..we get points everytime we click on to read or just once a day or what? I play games,them come check the boards (some move very fast and if I don't do that I have to read through well over 100 comments to get caught back up)
Czuch Czuckers: Shortly, it is the only way to be fair to everyone. There was a bug and it must have been fixed. Now the system is more accurate and you should thank Luisifer he's found the bug during the first day, not after two weeks. Anyway, it's just an monthly action. If you don't like it, wait for the August one.
Fencer: Thats really nice!!!!!! While you were asleep, I spent the time reading every discussion board, and now you take all that away?????? Now I have 9 points for reading discussion boards???????????? aND ANYONE WHO NOW COMES ON TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A COUPLE OF DAYS WILL HAVE AN UNFAIR AADVANTAGE????
Jason: I am simply trying to give people some perspective. It isnt the end all and be all of existence and you have to admit, there have been quite a few recent posts from people who are taking this far too seriously
Fencer: It would seem a lot of people are taking this far to seriously. As Fencer said, it will be fixed, please dont lose any sleep over it LOL
I can just imagine sitting down to dinner and Welly Walezs complaining to the family in a sobby voice "someone cheated me out of getting higher points on brainking this month boo hoo"
Geez peeps, lighten up and get some perspective !!!
There seems to be a small bug in the system. When it's fixed (soon), the discussion board action points will be reset and started over. Not a big problem, the action just started, it can still be finetuned.
KotDB: I agree totally. Actually, even if I open all discussion boards, BK doesn't realize if I'm reading them or not. It's just opening and closing an dis of no certain use. Moving points is better, in my opinion.
