let them have a grudge against ME - I'd knew
some reasons, valid or not ... ;) there has always
been a lot of noise around me at the boards as -
unlike many others, just giving up exposing - I did
not retire when I faced concerted mobbing, instead
severely struck back ...

multiple accounts applauding each other for
the humbug they summon and complain together
when the echo becomes uncomfortable ... :P

the main disadvantage of boards not monitored
and, open to insults and filth - some live for it only,
I have to assume - can't happen here, the fellow-
ships are simply ingenious ... :)

everybody has the space to play the little and
modest and worldfamous superhero in his own circle
-- onto that without disturbing the whole picture,
that's simply great ! 0:)

back to paragraph 1 - let them be grumpy with me
as reason for additional background mailtraffic.

but Savage didn't publish anything
also top player - also paying member ...

not to mention, claiming draw aware of a sulky
opponent not taking a perpetual check as given,
worked again - even by quick response ! (1 day)

once they apologized for losing the entire
mailtraffic of 3 days - I honestly don't know
- got tired of analyzing the failure-pattern why
some technical dissonances just were ignored ~*~

Hey! I thought the title of this message board was BrainKing.com.(Board for everybody who is interested in BrainKing.com itself, its structure, features and future) Doesn't IYT have it's own gripe board, Maybe we should ask Fencer to create a new board just for those who wish to complain about IYT or better still lets have a seperate board for danoschek then if anyone wants to read his constant drivel they can add it to their favourites.
This site speaks for it's self, Fencer has done a great job and i'm sure it will continue.
YES! Some sites are better than others (Some MUCH better) But why clogg up the message board with constant complaining?
If you don't like a certain site then DON'T PLAY THERE!
Lifes too short
GET OVER IT!
Just my humble opinion :)

CYA

Humble, honest and supported. Let's talk about how good this site is and give thanks to Fencer for the great work he does and how he responds to all suggestions.

are you shouting at me ?

that's idle - got used to it ... :p
I CERTAINLY won't disturb in any of
your fellowships created and, I doubt you
found the time to read yet before blasting ...

as I happened to express my pleasure
of finding features here, that I missed ...

and I CERTAINLY will give note about
my developing opinion ... as mentioned

I don't know why you
are constantly complaining

get over it ... *grin* ~*~

Again it takes a (blonde) girl to solve the problem. I've been over to IYT and pinched their dice and chess pieces.

Cariad: which piece squealed the loudest when you pinched it?

awwww :D
pleased to meet you Mylady, my hero ;)

_ _ _ _ _ . - ' - : _ @}%-;-'---

as blonde gurlz seem to be a feature here 0:)
I'd like to balance your effort by providing
the blondes joke to end all blondes jokes ...
________________________________________

There was a blonde woman who was having
financial troubles so she decided to kidnap
a child and demand a ransom. She went to
a local park, grabbed a little boy, took
him behind a tree and wrote this note:

I have kidnapped your child. Leave $10,000
in a plain brown bag behind the big oak tree
in the park tomorrow at 7 A.M.
Signed, The Blonde

She pinned the note inside the little
boy's jacket and told him to go straight home.

The next morning, she returned to the park
to find the $10,000 in a brown bag behind
the big oak tree, just as she had instructed.

Inside the bag was the following note ...

Here is your money. I cannot believe
that one blonde would do this to another !

Are you hard of hearing? Do I need to shout?

I was just stating that if you had complaints about IYT, Go and do it somewhere else!
AND you accuse ME of constantly complaining......

I doubt you
found the time to read yet before blasting

This is my second only post on these boards..
Unlike some I have a life outside of BrainKing and IYT
** BIG GRIN **

you did not smile and did not say please
indeed that makes it difficult to respect
either your flawly summary or your
futile attempts to command me ... :) ~*~

PS:
exercise that grin yet
a bit before publishing .... - please 0:)

If I had smiled and said Please would you have posted your complaints elsewhere, I THINK NOT!
An addiction is hard to break.
:D

you think not
- okay that's understood :p ~*~

danoschek - LOL LOL I like that!

Whisperz - Well all the brunette pieces squealed (they would, wouldn't they) but the brunette bishop was a proper wuss!
I'm glad they haven't got Janus chess there. Imagine grabbing the King's Janus...
The blonde pieces, though, were very obliging.

<but pssst !
when you whisper so close to
my ear your breathe tickles ...

and I have to be calm and composed ;)

have to check the doublesided janus blonde indeed
uhhhm - just the vision of having a dance ... WOW !. 0:)

even as obligation, most likely a pleasure too ... >:) ~*~

(reply to Dmitri King message from way below)

What point was I trying to make by rewritng them? Well take a look at the very next thing I wrote - "Simple Suggestion: Just don't go there no more". If someone does not like a site, do not go there! (At least I think it sounds simple enough).

It is a game site. If you don't like how it is ran, don't go there. They have non-paid memberships so everyone can try out their site before they pay. If they do not like it, well try another place - there are more and more turn-based game sites comming up (including this great place - BrainKing).

As for the negative thing. When I see a post that puts down one site, and then turns around and tries to promote a second site - I PERSONALY feel that it reflects negativly against the second site! I know not everyone will agree with my view (and that is fine), but to me it just seems like the second site has people go out and destroy the first site. Even though the second site might not approve of what is going on (which I have not heard how BrainKing feels about it) - but to put down IYT and turn around and tell people to come here looks very negative to me.

I mean if you are going to do that, why not also post the bad stuff about BrainKing???? Don't get me wrong, I love BrainKing - but there are bad things here also. Why not include how it is hard to follow threads in the message board? Or how the Backgammon games will let you make illigal moves? Or how they also limit their free users - and you can only join 1 tournament at a time as a free users (and even if you are out of the tournament - you can't join a second one until ALL users in a section are done - not just you).

Bottom line: All sites are different (THIS IS GOOD). People should try all sites and play at what they like best. For example, I do not like to play at GoldToken. But, every once and awhile I will post a message on IYT about different turn-based games sites. I include GoldToken, LittleGolem, DailyGammon, and now BrainKing. Even though I do not like all the sites - everyone should find what they like the best - and if you do not like it, DO NOT GO THERE! (sounds so simple.... but I guess it is not)

And again - I know not everyone will agree with my opinion, and that is fine. Good Luck in your elimination plans of IYT.

BBW (BIG BAD WOLF)

Is anyone else having trouble getting into Spider 4 games ????

I'm having trouble with ALL my games, if I click on 'move and go to next game' I get a white screen, same if I click on 'move and go to main page'... or to a named game. Its taking me ages to get any moves done!

I did 2 start with, now it just seems Spider & Nack - i do have that problem with a named game though...

or nackgammon games?..Im just getting a white screen...

Yep, white screens :o(
I'm having to exit the site and come back on to do a new move!

illegal moves in backgammon allowed?please elaborate so I know what to watch for.

(I could be wrong since I'm not a gammon expert, but I'm pretty sure this is against the rules... please correct me if I'm wrong)

Lets take for example if you roll a 6 and a 2. Lets say only 1 of your checkers are able to move 6 spaces (and many to move 2 spaces)

So instead of moving that 1 checker 6 spaces, you move it only 2 - leaving the "6 dice" to do nothing, and you end your move.

I believe the rules are (and again, I may be wrong) - If possible, you HAVE to use both dice when it is possible. So the software should "MAKE" me move that 1 checker 6 spaces, and also move a checker 2 spaces.

I have seen this happen in 2 of my games here so far.

I'm not sure either - here usually we play it
the other way: of course everybody may choose
freely which dice to use first ... but I heard
of a different interpretation as well ... ~*~

Yes...I cannot open any nackgammon games as well....all other are ok....just nackgammon doesn't work for me....

yep, spider is off for me too.

LOL...I have ice cream! Wanna spoon??????


Giggle, giggle!

A player must use both numbers of a roll if this is legally possible (or all four numbers of a double). When only one number can be played, the player must play that number. Or if either number can be played but not both, the player must play the larger one. When neither number can be used, the player loses his turn. In the case of doubles, when all four numbers cannot be played, the player must play as many numbers as he can.

Goldtoken also allows the illegal move. I would like to note also that a lot of players do not realise it is an illegal move as they have never played on a real board. So they figure if the site allows it, then it should be. I am hoping Fencer fixes it soon :-)

I would suggest to keep both variations
- it's a question of agreement ... not
everything called legal is logical ... :) ~*~

Isn't there anywhere on the web I can visit without seeing his snide remarks?? or even his name?

awww what a surprise isn't it ??

but actually your profile showed 10 days ago
that you noticed me already - cutieblonde :D ~*~

'

some ppl evidently have to carry
their private problems everywhere
to debate them publically ... :O ... ~*~

Surely you didnt assume he found a real life?...and yes, the poison of IYT has washed up on the shores of BK...also making friends everywhere he goes, ahhh some things never change.

that's not only a brainking feature ;)
just hope she makes it finally to leave me
alone and remembers these boards are monitored
and, as I assume, don't grant any mobbing ... ~*~

I came here to get away from him. Poison is right. Now I am glad I didn't join.

from all the reading I've been doing on these boards. Your life must be nothing but exx's

have I talked to anyone of you ?
see ??? wrong. poison is right. ~*~

Cant you people take it to private chat? A lot of us had hoped this site wouldnt turn in to another IYT - with all the slamming, nastiness that is on their boards - so lets play nice.. if you cant then at least take it to private chat.. none of us members need or want to read this crap.. thanks

also I hoped for finding a place
not wasted by notorious gang-wars. ~*~

I couldn't agree more Rose!.. I for one came over here to get away from the board spamming and nastiness of IYT. And here we go again..

Captain Spamsalot (aka dano) has infected BrainKing...is there no end?

there's no further explanation required ...

is there an option that
you beat your codependence ? ~*~

e.g.
concerted mobbing is not allowed ~*~

I agree with Rose and Erika. I too came here to get away from the nastyness and now all of a sudden it is starting here. Didn't have this problem before. Must be contagous.

fencer, please dont allow this stuff here. Once it starts its like an infection. I TOO enjoyed coming here for the reason that it wasnt like IYT on these boards...

I missed your heartwarming welcome -
not easy to keep an overview when out of
the blue half a dozen ppl jump you - sorry.

unlike some others I focus on playing board-games
instead of those well known ones in the background
for mutual actions ...

all private information I originally
was intended to share is visible on my
profile and likely no brainking subject. ~*~

I cordially second ... it's notorious ~*~

...different venue, like a foul smell...lingers on...aimlessly, pointlessly. Yes Danoschimp, problem cant be you, must be the rest of the world.

indeed TTjazzberry

good subject line !! :D

and if all the games with the only ID
you happen to play here will have the
same result I'll know who you are ... ~*~

has this place gone mad??????.....I used to look forward to the 4-6 messages that were posted each day onthis board and now find im having to read all sorts of c rap that has nothing to do with anything as far as i can see....Fencer put a stop to the spamming and lets all get on with it:)

Like his profile says "my bark cAn be noisy"...nothing BUT noise. This was such a peaceful place, one common element chages all. Keep guessing, hint: no hint.
