sorry i wasnt back sooner .. got caught up in work ... silly eh .. they should forbid making you work at your job :)

i was talking about battleboat and espionage games where the whole games is about an unknown setup ... i started some battleboat games already before i knew about the private part

in 1 game i have a note showing to my opponent .. quite funny .. i told myself where he would go in the next few moves and what my responses would be ... it was like i foretold him what to do .. he obeyed :) .. i guess i typed it in the wrong box though :)

HitMan...I think you would be surprised at what Fencer reads LOL

Thanks BBW, but i think that is not the answer that i'm looking for...
In froglet, I draw 3 games with players in the same conditions like i said before, (without having the 25 played and lower ratings too) and the ratings didn't changed for both players. So, i don't understand why did it happend now if our gap rating was 234 points before the game ends.
Thanks

LOL no wonder Fencer dosn't read his own board much........he he

LOL:)

Thankyou sooo much foR POSTING THAT FOR US BBW ooops caps

pmsl

I posted this 2 days ago on this board:

1st: "unrated" players actually have ratings - just you don't see them until 4 games are played.

2nd: Ratings takes many things to figure a rating: Your rating, your oppenets ratings, how many games you played, and how many games your oppenent played.

3rd: Until 25 games are played (Well actually until 100+ games are played), ratings will fluxuate a lot. That is why it is a "provisional" rating until 25 games are played. I actually heard it can take up to 400 games before a rating is actually set pretty well.

4th: Even if you don't see ratings change, it may change. For example, before a game it may be 1500.1, then after the game it could be 1500.4 - but since you only see the "1500", it looks like it does not change... even though it does.

5th: How the formula works, it is even possible to lose points when you win! (When you don't have many games played, etc...) But I believe Fencer made it so you never lose points for a win, so at those times your rating will actually stay the same.

Anyway, in short - ratings will do very funny things until you get many games under your belt. At least 25 games, but probable more then 100 games is needed before your ratings will settle down.

Nuno: I sent you a reply to the Gothic checkers board.

I meant less than 300 points...
thanks

Hello, please explain me one thing:
a draw between 2 players with 300 points will add zero points to both players?
thanks

come on now.. geez..

go figure! : /

Scarlet, I think he was talking more about game strategy than personal notes.

what would you be trying to hide Hrqls...? not to worry game notes don't show up.. I THINK.. lol

Well done Paulo.

I want to say I´m sorry to Purple, too, for calling him gay.

But I think that Purple have to ask for excuse to all the people, especially to me for all those nasty words he said to me (freak, etc.), and for stalking me...

My hobbies? Flame wars?

Ok, seriously, I'll try write something in the evening, but you know - I hope there won't be a lot of questions, because I can't probably answer them in Czech or German and my English is rather pidgin than well... ;-)

Do me a favour, Bad, Bish - pad out your profile page a bit with your hobbies and stuff. I'm stuck for questions for your 'interview'!

Very well said, indeed.

And I apologise deeply if anybody of you guys thought, I have anything against Portugeese. If I said anything in this way, it wasn't meant so. Peace - and let's return to checkers.

Hi I real need a Spellchecker, but sorry for that.

The would like to say the truth to all people. I'm pcfg=fernandes=PauloGomes=Rasec.I'm 13 years old. I'm not plus nobody but there is much people (my friends in our club António Nobre) that have two or more users.I'm of the Portuguese junior club of checkers. My friends are very known in the site, some of then and me too are putting wood to the fire.I'll ask to never more insult nobody. I ask for excuses to the Purple, to the Fencer, the Stevie and the Bad Bishop. Pedro you can back and removing me of your list of enemies, taste to play with you and I learn very!

I ask to everybody excuses.

Stevie: please edit my text into a good english

SORRY EVERYONE

Wot splecheker? Not yer ther aint.

Spiral I don't think anyone should worry about spellng and errors in writings. Some ppl like me use webtv and we have the disadvantage of keys stickig. By the way, I heard there was a Spellchecker on this site? Where is it?

Please, would it be possible to put a motto in the header of the discussion board? (Or even better on most of them.) Something like "don't feed the trolls" or so. ;-)

(Sure, I know, I made the mistake too.)

Caralheiro has been banned.

[edited]

Bad try. Fencer is able to check everything anyone sends including me. Think of something else.

Don´t think it´s a fair decision. Paulo Gomes vever have been incorrect with me. Didn´t understood what he´ve said in portuguese, I think, but didn´t understood neither what pedro and bishop have said.

And why a guy like purple, who keeps sending me obscene PM isn´t banned from the site?

PauloGomes has been banned from this board.

Ehm ... I am finishing this "topic".

The funniest thing is that obviously several people, who did't read my first postings, think really I'm a racics [(c) Paulo] or prejudiced [(c) Stevie]. But who cares...? :-)

I do ........... just joking

The guilt of this question was the racist commentaries of badbishop against the Portuguese. As we are like the animals we are all joined.
If every have something against me , please descreve that on this board.

And Pedro if you are with nerves takes tablets

What story is that? Now I'm RicardOliveira?
Pedro: because you do not think that can have more than two or three people who non't like you? clearly that it is more easy to say that they are all exactly the same person.
for example: why you don't show the dialogue that made you me in your list of enemies!
how to the RicardOliveira or El Putanhon or what you to want, I haven't nothing with this

thanks! i could reproduce it now :)

(*phew* now i can sleep peacefully once again ;))
(oh wait i am at work! *snap*)

Just a minor note --
Before 'officializing' these new BK guidelines, it would be ideal to check for spelling errors and/or 'typos'. There are many currently present according to the data amassed.

             ~ MS

That will be a "hot spot" its just above your main page link , the list contains your next 30 moves ;)

i sometimes get a list (in grey) when i move my mouse towards my 'back' button (internet explorer 6 with javascript enabled (also enabled in bk)) .. when i try to get it on purpose i never succeed .. how does this one work ? :)

is it possible to make games private or remove them from my profile for others to look at ?

i mean games which werent private before

i didnt pay attention to private games .. but i now understand it can be quite useful for certain types .. i never hide anything .. but in this case i should have :)

Yes, exactly.

no i had not read that BUT.....
Discussion Board Guidelines.....
#3 No copy-n-pasting other users post or words into public boards without their permission.

this says that I CAN POST into private fellowships...again i would suggest the following...

#3 No copy-n-pasting other users post or words into public or private fellowships boards without their permission.

As it stands at the moment it is still open to being able to post from anywhere to everywhere EXCEPT public boards :)

BerniceC: Have you read the new proposal?
http://brainking.com/doc/bk.html

*****Users may not copy another user's post and place it elsewhere on the site public boards.*****

May i ask is it OK for me to post from any board to any other board as long as it isnt a public board...private fellowships it is OK to post anything to??
Might I suggest the following:-
Users may not copy another user's post and place it elsewhere on the site, either to the public boards, or to private fellowship boards.

I feel the agreement has been left wide open to posting from one fellowship to another.

Just my 1/2 cents worth :)

Yup. That did the trick..

Reminder to all WebTV users, anytime something seems odd, Power Off and come back!
I give that advice all the time, but this was a new one!

Oh.. I guess I may need to power off the good 'ole WebTV then, and reconnect.. Thanks

mine work,Rod.

Yes, Backgammon games seem to be working normally.. But reversi games, line 4 games and halma aren't. (For me anyways!)

Might be game dependent.

Is it just me, or is anyone else noticing that moves are not being highlighted right now? For example, when I make a move in Halma, the path of the piece I move isn't being highlighted. My opponent's move isn't highlighted either.

This is a very weird site. I wonder whether I should thank the Ricard or some grafts of your imagination.

He has had nics banned from BK before for his use of bad language
