With the cool new achievements thing...  has anyone else noticed they don't get credit as a black rook in their achievements?


This particular achievement for me does not show up!!!  :-(  Am I not a black rook!?  I did purchase my black rook...  hmmm...  Do others see this same problem?

Eriisa: This person that was using these pawn accounts has resigned all of their games... the games of their pawn accounts that is; but they are still around as a rook. ;-)

I believe I hit the nail on the head, because I had a hunch who it was (based off their grammer style, the things they discussed, and a few other things like the games they played, BKR ratings, etc.) and straight out told them who I thought they were... I am pretty sure I was right, because within minutes of them getting on and reading their message box, they began resigning all of their games in their pawn accounts... hmmm... LOL

Enjoy your weekend, I am outta here.

Well... the person in question just resigned all of the games in a 10 win match for each of the three ID's they have against me...


Why do I think someone would have multi-nicks?

- To get 3 or 4 or more chances at a prize in a prize tourney! I don't think it would end either if you made it paying members only can win, because then they would pay for bishop for a month at a chance for a year or two year rook prize. That is why people have additional accounts, or at least that is why I think they have additional accounts.


Why did I post this interesting question here?

- We all have forever accounts, an additional year means nothing to you, me, or any other black rook for that matter! (Unless you like making prize tournies or something like that...) So I bring it up here because it is an issue that needs to be addressed (in my opinion), so it doesn't wreck this site that we all have invested in. What do you all think?

So... what do I do about a multi-nic group? I know for a fact that there are three pawns that are multi-nics of one another... (I wrote one a message about it, and all 3 suddenly put me on block... coincidence!? LOL) Can I do something about that!? I just wonder if they are also multi-nics of a rook... I hope not a black rook.. but I doubt that since they are doing it to try and get a rook prize... That is why I post here...

Thanks for your help!

Andersp: The other thing that I feel is important for black rooks, is for all of us to take an active participation in this site in making it better. I feel that my black rook is an investment, and if I do not make sure my investment (BK) succeeds, I will lose it. So, I must do everything I can as a black rook to make sure people still see this as a great place to play so it stays afloat. This discussion board is one place where we can facilitate such discussion where every black rook can discuss possible solutions to better this site. I think that is a great reason for this discussion board to be available only to black rooks. Does that seem like a good reason for this discussion board?

Andersp: It is one more perk to get people to want to be an eternal member...
