furbster: I have 23

tonyh: Bud.. I would hope to heck he didn't give us that much vacation time, we have plenty..

Some peeps yes.. they need the vacation time.. while other abuse it..

For instance.. someone who starts up lots of games and tournaments.. then goes over to a new account .. and never intends on coming back to the account the games were started on.. if they have a full lot of vacation days.. and they game allows them 14 days to make a move.. it takes at least 45 days to time out when they have full vacation days.. which not only holds up the games and tourneys.. it also restricts those who are playing the game that don't have a membership to have to sit and wait it out.. or suffer the point loss by resigning the game.

even those who start over 200 games and can't keep up with the games..

We get plenty of Vacation Days!

wellywales: you know.. I can't remember doing a draw on this site.. if I have it was long ago.. I know if I resign the game it automatically goes to pm.. so.. I am not really sure..

wellywales: I see what you mean.. Hmm perhaps offering a draw??

wellywales: well maybe a friendly hello to her will speed up the game.. something like..

Great.. I noticed you on line and was hoping that perhaps we could spend some time on our game if you wouldn't mind..

Or similiar.. I noticed she has some health problems and I believe she may have had some puter problems.. perhaps that is what was slowing her down..

LuckyCat9: Well concidering Thanksgiving is basically a holiday for America I don't have a question as to why Fencer.. who is Czech doesn't recognize it.. I also don't question why a majority of the world population doesn't recognize Christmas/Chanukah either.. due to that holiday season being determined due to religion..

LuckyCat9: I just individually clicked each month.. yes.. I know the long way! LOL I only really saw one public holiday and that would be Christmas.. I think since this is an Internet site.. and is not limited to one country or to a set religion.. I think it was decided to not show a prejudice on particular holidays which are limited to either the Country or the Religion that one might be related with..

Stevie: and here as well.. there are times I get a blank page.. somewhat strange..

alanback: I think Princess Alison meant she was having problems with the site yesterday..

Kipling ~ "Is anyone having problems with games loading?"

Princess Alison ~ "I was yesterday, but not today"

Mirjam: That would be Me!!

Artful Dodger: Hey cutie monkey with the pink bow... I got me some pink gloves last night.. they are nice and fuzzy warm.. :)

Mirjam: tankies

Artful Dodger: Okay.. what's afaic??

playBunny: hahaha.. I just have too many other things on my list of to do's I suppose.. Heck.. I just wing out my play with little thought.. haha.. and it shows in my stats.. hahahaha.. but it is all in fun for me!! LOL

Marfitalu: I checked you out bud.. such a fine profile.. and I see you are strong at Backgammon and Hyper.. care to play someone who is also fast?

Marfitalu: a little competition is one thing.. and yes.. it can be fun.. let's face it I would rather play against someone a bit more stronger than myself to learn different perspectives and plays.. but I am not the type that sits and dwells on a game for 3 days as to where I am going to place my next move.. and I do know some that do.. and to the point that the game ends up setting their moods.. they also have attitudes that they are godlike.. To me.. these are games.. they are placed online to entertain.. and challenge a bit.. as well as offer a gathering for others with similar interests to meet and converse.. a social place.. That is why I enjoy stopping in here to Brainking.. it isn't for the.. Oh.. I wonder how many games I can win tonight against my opponents..

Fencer: hahahaha.. I thought you did so cause you enjoyed the games??
and the smilies of course!

why is it men have to be so gosh darn competitive on who is the best?? In this case.. it isn't earning anything .. it doesn't pay the bills.. ??? So why sit and analyze this.. ?? LMCAO!!

Artful Dodger: cannotbees.. it requires a sense of humor.. and a special person fills that shoe.

Artful Dodger: Oh my!! they are so fond of ya dear.. that they try to be just like ya!

Marfitalu: I am.. I play for the fun of it.. LOL

playBunny: "Take a raincheck"? that is a great idea!

Vikings: oh?

frolind: I believe it is during the period of time between Fencer approving the membership and the time the person comes back on to use it.

plaintiger: Hmm.. lets test.. k.. Foxy should be coming on soon..

nobleheart:
or this

plaintiger: If you are the moderator of a board.. and you put someone on hide.. it darkens their box.. and you still see them.. but, others don't see them.. anotherwards.. if you are trying to hide them on the board for just your benefit.. you won't be able to.. you would have to release moding the board to do so..

plaintiger: Apparently someone who enjoys backgammon.. :)

Gotta piccie?? LOL

sUbLiMe: Awww how can anyone not forgive a cute face like that.. awwwww

Hey Slammerz!

Goodfoods and his wife went through hurricane Katrina.. their house withstood the winds.. they lost lots of trees.. and due to the power surges lost their A/C and their Refridge and Freezers.. amongst the smaller appliances.. which those smaller ones he says can be replaced easier.. he did mention though.. the larger appliances are a bit harder to afford at this time..

If any of you would like to help donate even 5 or 10 dollars would be of a great help.. and when we have reached the goal of getting him his needs perhaps the extra money can go to someone else in his area.. :)

TT and I, amongst others are anxious to help.. so please contact one of us privately to find out how you can help him and his family..

Thankies

Andre Faria: kewl.. just send all infos needed to my pm box.. hehe..

Andre Faria: hey.. can I use your paypal account and do some shopping??

MagicDragon: Hey Magic.. good to see ya back!

Jim Dandy: let me help you here.. I will just click on your name.. and then look for the invite tab and select the game.. :)

Jim Dandy: Yes I do.. and Yes.. I would love a game or three.. ;)

Jim Dandy: Hello JD.. good to meet ya..

the crash course..
Yes you may center in on one game and start tourney's when you feel comfy..

Enjoy your membie privies! :)

Princess Alison: I am so sorry to have upset you.. and yes.. I didn't think of how the outcome would be. For I really didn't have the intentions of it being taken personally as you had.. please pardon.. and I will remove that post promptly..

eagle eye: True.. haha

Fencer: I think he should be your spokesman Fencer.. seriously.. then you can tend to the brains thingy..

SSSsshshhhhhHsHHhhhhhhh *puts index finger up to lips as to show them locking shut.. then tapers hands down and gives a horizontal "CUT" like hand sign*..

playBunny: the blame doesn't just fit on one foot.. it fits on all.. No one man should take full blame.. perhaps a bit of maturity and reasoning as well as respect towards another would best be needed.. but, then we all have cultural differences.. don't we.. WE aren't all raised with the same parents.. and while one country disapproves of a smile linking it to mean something more lustrious.. another merely means it in a friendly way..

My point is this.. Instead of reacting right off.. sit back and evaluate what all is said.. and try to see it from the other persons view.. realize also that heated arguments do get carried away.. more so with the male gender.. :)

have a nice evening..

Fencer: I didn't realize that the site was unfriendly due to having Gothic Chess here??

Sorry.. that is my opinion..

ArtfulDodger:
Oh.. you made the list.. de da da de di dod di di du di dum..
You made the list.. *snaps fingers and bobs head*

playBunny: nawwwwww.. that newspaper link is funny stuff..

BIG BAD WOLF: would you mind removing Nobels personal ICQ information off this board.. I copied the infor..

nobleheart: I have the infor.. you may want to delete that personal info..

nobleheart: hahaha.. I am going to get my mom on it.. haha.. OMG!! this is tooooooo good..

nobleheart: OMG!!!

Whereever did you find that?? That is too funny!! .. Oh man.. I gotta look more into that site.. haha..

nobleheart: LOL.. haha.. I am not that interesting.. *runs away flinging arms in the air*..
