Pedro Martínez: You can't see a young american girl and it's only flowers , Martinez... shame on you!
Is there any place in BK to receive old members? There are a lot of them already gone that we all miss. I saw Ferjo last week/15 days, for example. He was a nice player (now in Australia). Brainking could think about a "welcome back gift" in those cases, what do you think?

Hi,
I don't know where to do it (it must be a DB for that stufs, for sure, but... there are so many DB!!!), but I would like to suggest another Achievement. Look at this game that I'm p+laying with Altermann, and you will note that I have 50 or more pieces (I haven't counted alter's pieces, but there are a lot, also). It's an epic game! :)
Could this be bolded with an achievement, in future?
Fencer: Team Tournaments started with brain prizes. It would be great if you do that again, Fencer. It would be good for brains utlility, and to stronger/more dinamyc team tournaments...
Bwild: KM story was never properly solved. I left this site for a while because of that. Purple let me (still) blocked because I asked what happened, and asked why should only KM members moderate checkers board. I was an active player than, and stopped playing it (and writting in that board) because of that. That's why I say: Brainking really "don't give a sh..." (as Fencer said) about cheating. That's what I said in PM to Martinez: we should play according to this rules. I don't like them, but I play only against who I want (who I trust). But it's wrong, in my opinion. Wrong and bad for the site. Other sites "died" because of that. Km group made the same (and still cheat) in IYT, for example. Giving up to fight this is a way to give a "slow death" to the site. I'm not criticizing, I repeat. I'm giving you (and Fencer) my opinion, in order to make (keep) brainking as a great games site, maybe the best of the world!
rod03801: However, Rod, Bwild said something interesting, about "loosing on purpose...". It's another way to see the question...
I agree with snoopy too. We should listen to both sides of the story. Although, I think Martinez was not incorrect, and his observation has legitimacy.
rod03801: Yes, I understand... I didn't explained myself properly. I mean that it can be acceptable according to the rules, but it's morally (in my opinion) unfair and unnacceptable, because players don't play with the same chances. Is like a "horde chess game" or "Mancala game" if 1 player always play with white. A fair game, in my opinion, should give to both players the same possibilities, and the winner should be the player who have more inteligence, strategy, luck, whatever... not the one who have more "relations" Unless it is a game of "relations", as we have some in internet. That's my point.
In other words... it can be legal, but it's still unfair!
Hrqls: Rules are rules, but... this is OBVIOUSLY cheating (latu sensu), as some players as MORE CHANCES to win than others, not because of their inteligence/strategy/luck, but because of their "connections". As a game, it's absolutelly unnacceptable!
Brainking never cared about it. It's a "political business". As brainking's owner, Fencer is free to do whatever he wants. However, BK stays much poorer without Pedro Martinez. Couldn't this be solved more peacefully, Fencer? That "Fine,..." it's a "I want you to leave", and it's not honourable for you and the site.
Hi people! What kind of "rook" is this one? It seems like an angel, to me. But it's not right: everybody knows that I (ME, MYSELF) should be the angel... eheheheh
FrancescoLR: I can guarantee: Francsco is VERY FAST! Go, bro...! Bjorn,my opinion is that you must know the fast players. With those players, any time limit is good! For example, against Francesco, I wouldn't mind to play a "30 days" game, cause I know he would never stay 1 day without moving. That's the point, I think!
Bernice: Yeeeessss! Purple would be a GREAT global mod. I believe he will be "the choosen one". Brainking criterias are strange enougth for that... lololol
joshi tm: Internacional checkers, Russian checkers and Classic checkers are a very, very popular game in the world. Almost as popular as "parachute checkers" or "One Way checkers" ;) lol Anyway, Joshitm and Purple... "checkers" it's not a nice subject to talk with Fencer! :) By the way, this must be off-topic, so... excuse me, mod's! But I hope it can be readen, anyway...
Bernice: And By the way... I don't understand why haven't you been banned yet! ;) "Cheating stuffs" are forbidden discussions, in Brainking. There's always someone in the command that decides this is not the right place to argue that! Anyway, I still don't know where is a right place for that discussion...
AbigailII: I agree with you. Games boards are empty, they doesn't work. Evn when we post there something, we never have replys from noone. It seems that they aren't seen for those game players. I do agree, there cold be less boards. These one could join all games boards.
Hrqls: Atila had done it a long time ago. No answers, there (checkers variants 8x8, the right place). In checkers board it's no usefull too. Well... anyway, this is not the right place for the discussion, indeed. It would take us for a long conversation that always have been avoided for Fencer and global mod's, in brainking...
nabla: Yes. I think an interesting "increase" in this hpothetic-possibility could be that a take back move should be asked before the next move of the other player. Sometimes it happens to me, speccially in checkers variants: notice a big mistake just after submiting my move!
AbigailII: Yes, that's true. Some people forget they are ASKING something to his adversary. Anyway... well, I admiss this could be a "trouble-maker". I always accept a re-instate or a take back move, in those other 2 sites. I see no merit in winning points for distrations or for time-out, and I now much other people think like me, so it's hard for us, when we are playing, that we not even have the possibility to do it. There are advanges and disavantages on those stuffs, I know. Just wanted to know what's the "oficcial position" of Brainking.
I bet those questions have been already asked, but... in my opinion, Brainking should have the possibility to take back last move, as in Kurnik (of course, if both players agree with it), such as the possibility to re-instate the game lost for time-out (once again, depending to both players agreement). Don't you think? Fencer, is this a possibility in the future?
About Fencer's laptop (it would be a very interisting buy, BTW), I wonder... should it have Internet Explore installed? Eheheheh... what are your bets, people?
I think it would be interesting if, in a team match, we could see the changes expected in our teams rating. And it should be easy to increase it, to Fencer. Does anyone knows if it will be done, or if there's some reason to avoid that change?
Hi. This is just a suggestion, in my opinion (and BBW talked about that recently), brains system is not as develloped as it could be. If more people had brains, they would be more useful (more users envolved, more activities using brains). I think one of the next months action could be something like "buy or renew a membership and you receive XXXX brains. I don't know, 200, 500, 2000, for a knight/bishop, rook or black rook... what do you think?
emmett: That souds good. But, completing dead's purpose (as I understand it), I think something else should be displayed in that filter, in order to we could see / not see some people. Or (a suggestion), if we put someone in our "blocked users list", will we see their games in the waiting room? That could be a solution...
alanback: Yes, it's true. EU over-rules everything. But it would be even more believable if Fencer talked about TVA and other tax-stuffs. That's a true concerning of the EU... they make the rules, they need money to support themselves, so they concern about taxes... It's a logicall thought! ;)
MadMonkey: Because Fencer must be your godfather, Ian... eheheheheh. It's always usefull when our godfather is the boss! ;) Yeah, Fencer answered you... his point is also good, but I rather mine! The result is the same, YOU WIN! Oh, I'm still so proud of you, my good-mad-young-student... ohohoh!
krybulon: You would use your creative energy for what else?
Ponds are interesting games, stairs... well, I personally don't like them, but a lot of people do like that kind of competition... but I think I can understand you. It's another "sensibility" for games, and it's understandable... but I repeat, what would it be your bet, to use all "Fencer's creative energy"?
I must tell you, Fencer, I really don't like Mars Action, Of course, it's only my opinion, a lot of other players will love it... Idon'tlike cause I don't intend spending 1 month playing like hell...
Don't you have anything to offer to someone whose membership is ending, and that would like to keep on as a rook?
In new Login page, the castle doesn' have USA flag. I don't know why, but I do agree with that! They use their flag in the moon, now they don't have any to put in Brainking's castle!
(OK, I understand now, they show languages, not countries... but the joke was funny, anyway... )
Team ratings showned in fellowships have the same "graphics" and explanations of the "single players" ratings. Maybe that's why they are already translated. I bet Fencer created it with some kind of "links", and put them in fellowships, even without big boss's knowledge and action.
pauloaguia: I can see it now! Exactly where madmonkey said it was. And it is translated!!! Are you sure it wasn't you, Paulo? In that case, I vote in YOU for mad... or monkey! ;)
