MadMonkey: Ah, a woman! Why didn't you say it before? It should be working now.

Fencer: well it may be a secret, like the awesome, pointless, unuseful Cloak Mode we have
BUT............ its not
its only to jessica, its very weird

MadMonkey: It might be more helpful if you post the user name instead of "a friend".

I am trying to reply to a message from a friend, but when i hit reply i just get a blank screen, with
Write new message
To:

at the top and nothing else.

I have tried going to there profile and sending that way, but get the same.

It only appears to be this one person, any ideas ?

Could Captains and/or Bosses PLEASE get a warning message if any Team that has been entered in a Tournament has a problem before the Tournament starts.
Its nice to get Teams in early for them, so it gives others players a chance to find another Team if they miss out on one.
We have just had another Tournament start, that has a Pawn in the Team, which would be ok if the player was still here playing games.
Sadly they have not been here in over a month, so all those games are lost, so really the Team match is over before it get going properly, therefore hard on all the other Team members.
Can we at least get a warning to let us know if there may be a problem OR think of a way to swap a player if they have yet to move in a Team Tournament game.

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...

Fencer: nice split! could the same be done for the pond page as well ? i recently joined a couple of rain ponds but had to go through all fellowships to find them :)

(and another point of interest : what are your thoughts about team tournaments of random game types (of all games) ? :))

Rose: Odd really, the site has been great for me for a while now, none of the old white pages & page not found, in fact no problems at all really
As you say Rose, today has been bad though, back to its old games
Must be the hardware upgrade Fencer mentioned , can we downgrade again

Lotta issues with the site this past few days. Lot of white pages ,page not found .. slow icons loading.. 

rod03801: i see him, but ive got another problem: when i hit the reply box button, nothing happens.

Did someone slay the dragon? I haven't seen him flying across my log in screen today.

joshi tm: Just take it "as far as I can foretell". Which is usually a week or two.

Purple: Ha good one, International Checkers (the variant played most in the Netherlands) is still missing.

joshi tm: I have never seen so many games in my life. Why can't everyone just play checkers? :)

"The rest of this year should be spent by finishing several important changes, regarding BrainKing servers (yes, we have been upgrading our hardware again, it is always a good change), but I want to write more about it later - some details are still being formulated."

So, no new games to play during the last dark months of this year? O well. Today's feature can come in handy, too. Thanks for it.

pauloaguia:
thanks missing one word out makes a lot of difference..lol

redfrog: Lol maybe he deserves a rest.

"Snoopy": I think it should read - "if you buy a one year membership for someone else". But I'm not really sure...

I love the new smileys.
Keep them coming Fencer

or2ak.com:
all vacation days reset on 1st Jan
but you can as a black rook buy back your days if you purchase a membership for someone else

"Snoopy":

That explains why I just seen on a profile 44  LOL
But why didnt I get 45 when I became a black rook?   I was stuck on 33. 
So when does it reset? (I'm guessing Jan 1st?)

or2ak.com:
45 for a black rook

or2ak.com: 35

Whats the maximum vacation days we can have?  

tippyc: I hear ya...bet that was a bit of a shock when you saw it.

Dolittle: well i pm'd fencer when i noticed it, and now that last move has been erased. hope it doesnt happen again.

tippyc: How you could even play 7-12,1-4 with a piece on the bar?

...and I can't touch that pip count--not even in the Cloning variant        :-)

tippyc: Nope, never saw that before. Must be a bug!!

Game ID: 2790005

it somehow added i think 30 extra pieces

i love random games!

i would love a random game rating/ranking as well .. but only for those random games where all games from this site are possible .. not just a subset

this rating could be established by team tournaments of random game types (we need a random team for that :)), by normal random tournaments (which we already have), and by personal matches (of more than 1 game, about 10?) of random games

it would rock! :)

(fencer what are your thoughts ? ;))

MadMonkey: I would love to see random team tournaments also - but that of course would mean extra work for Fencer - since he would have to make it so you can join a "random game" team for a fellowship like you can for each game type. And would probable have to do some extra coding to the team tournament code.

But I would also love to see it.

Oceans Apart & Hrqls: coat.net. & Tanien (and Fencer lol) in charge of Team Tournaments, have to ask them to bend Fencers ear (or is that message box hmmmm......whatever)

Please, please, please Leader, could we have a Random Team Tournament

MadMonkey:

Hrqls: Love the idea, a Random Team Tournament, say 8 players, but no one knows which games they will get


what fun

Interesting idea Hrqls :)

is it possible to have team tournaments with random game types ?

is it possible to have a team for random games ? ;)

and something different : it might be fun to challenge a singple player to a match of 10 games, where the game types are random :)

Don't forget to send me all your questions for Vikings . I still need more 'personalized' questions for the interview...

rod03801: thanks.

tippyc: There's a couple ways. Go to your profile, and click the "Stairs" link near the top of the page. Or, go to the Stairs link on the Main menu, and click "Show my stairs only"

is there a way that i can easily find out which (if any) stairs i am currently in?

Fencer: Ah i see, makes sense now, cheers!

furbster: The list of Brains shows only points earned by referring other paying members. It does not reflect purchased or won Brains.

kaluza: It's working because I can't play my games....though I'm far more annoyed than afraid. lol

Greg Murray: It's cyberterrorism.

Why are there explosions all over my checkers board?

the brains page doesn't appear to have been updated for a while either on my profile it says i have 500 or so but on the list of brains it says i have 250

basplund: That must be the case. I just bought some Brains yesterday, and have not received them yet, either. I was hoping it was "instant" like memberships, because there was a Brain tournament that I wanted to enter. But it's too late now.

Jason: Thanks Jason!
I knew I had seen it somewhere before.  But, I was blind now

Strangly, it does not show the Brains I bought a couple of days ago. Maybe it's something which has to be handled manually by Fencer !?

basplund: at the top of your main page next to your name .
Jason (J T) - [Jason, England, Brain Rook (forever), Male] Brain Rook, 350 Brains,
you can also see how many looking at your own profile (top of the page)
