coan.net: That site owner is a nut job anyway. Some people shouldn't be allowed to own pay to play sites especially people like that site owner. He was on one serious power trip when we all played there. If you didnt kiss his butt he kicked you out!!

coan.net: What kinds of games were there? What was the whole "colony" and "homes" concept?

rod03801: Well it had some cool ideas - players would join a colony - limit to the number in each colony - and in there, you could buy houses and stuff for the house with fake money you earn playing games and such.

But after that, things go south. First, they had like 20 games on th site, but a colony could only have access to like 10 games at a time - and the players of the colony had to vote for which games. (me, if I'm playing - I want access to all the games).

Of course this information is from when they first opened, not sure what they had done since.

Games - they had some of the regular - plus some unique ones like a card-poker game which was pretty fun - basically it was a single player game, but made into a 2-player game where each play their own game - highest score wins. Um... I think their battleboat game was interesting - with different boats/tanks & different backgrounds. Um.... plus some of the "regular" games like chess and such.. can't remember.

Had some cool ideas, but I think the owners idea was to have a community site that just happened to have a few games - and did not want a "game site" so could care less about concerns - like mine about wanting to play all the games not just a limited selection. In my opinion, if they focused on both - they would have gained a lot of turn based game players.... well that and if the owner wasn't such a .......... well, you can fill in the blank.

coan.net: Doesn't sound like my cup of tea anyways.



The only other site that comes close to being as good as Brainking is Goldtoken.. to me, anyways.

rod03801: Well I'm still curious - isn't there any players on here that also played there? If so, are they closed for good - or is it just hardware issues or something where people can't connect.

If anyone knows, please let me know.
