all unrated players do not have the same rating, when the new ratings are calculated. Even before it shows you your provisional rating, you still have one.

i just finished a backgammon game and as i submitted the site went down, I did not receive the "you have won message" or get a change in my rating, although the game has vanished and shows as a win on my profile...is there a reason for this?

Hi my Backgammon game with Missouri Mule.i cant Move. it has a Error ... So what do we do???

Good luck in fixing it; all speed. If you have time, please may we have a daily update?

We´ll miss you.. Take care, Louis and may God bless you in every way!

well all my opponents in those 2 games were unrated

Just another idea of a new game that could be included on this site.
This is just like standard chess, apart from the fact that each time a player makes a move the opponent can accept it, or refuse it. If they refuse the move, then it is taken back and an alternative move is made instead which has to be accepted.
One refusal allowed for each move, any number of moves in the game.

LOL NightHawk :)

thanks Radiant...if Fencer does put a board here then we should name it after YOU...( A Radiant Reminder To )...

Thanks NightHawk1958, your post is much appreciated! :)

Fencer: I also wanted to post such a remembrance post in here, but wasn´t sure which board to use. perhaps you can add a special board for special occasions? Once you have solved the bugs in here and when you have time to think out new features, could you think of adding such a new board???
Many thanks and good night,

~*Radiant*~

dream: your rating is not just based on how many wins or losses you have...it's almost completely dependent on the ratings of your opponents. If you beat 4 players with very low ratings, compared with 4 players with very high ratings, your rating will be completely different :-)

Fencer. Theres is a problem in this game between PastaPatty & myself. #7 contains extra blots that shouldn't be there.!!! (All will become clear when you have some spare time to take a quick look) - Thanks.:)

The rating system doesnt seem to make sense, i completed 4 wins in backgammon race and started with a rating of 1890, now I have completed 4 wins in nackgammon and started with rating of 1550, no losses in either game, why is there such a huge difference in ratings?

Hi patty I am hoping and am sure fencer will reinstate any games lost while he trying to fix this major bug. You and I are lucky hun.. we can still gain access. There are most of our noodleland team who cant even get in yet.. hopefully soon it will all be rectified

let's stop with the petty things for one day and HONOR the Memory of the shuttle CREW and their Families...May God Bless Them All and keep their Families in his ARMS to give them Strength to see the though this.Amen Our Prayers are with Them.

fencer she's (Bernice) right i've seen this on other sites it takes up the room where others could have been.as newbie's i know we have the push or pull then paid members,but a lot can be heard from outsiders because of the fact that they ,we got around alot more then most.
my thanks for all your doing and have done.

I am not sure I can even get this message through w/o the 'techical problem' pop up or 'site too busy' pop up but I hope I can as this is very important. I come on here (if I can) and play maybe up to five games before all these problems get me so upset I leave as I can't get my games played. NOW THEY ALL TIMING OUT in ONE MORE DAY. I am not sure it is ALL, I only scrolled down to more than half the page till I decided I better write you and see if ALL my games that time out will be re-instated???? There is no way I can clear my sheet at this pace. I got a membership because I loved the site (still do) and it was so fast and ranted and raved about it all over the net. what about all my games fencer?

thanks i'll give you my URL to send me a copy so that all rights can be yours again thank you

Hi Fencer,

the messages in our messages boxes can be their in the inbox a month and once NOT moved into the SAVE box, they can be deleted. Personally I would like to have a box where I can SAFE messages and games in archive. But there are also message which can be deleted. If the players forget, then the system can tackle them at the end of the month :-)

Fencer: besides this, I still got the same error messages. Are you sure the side would be up and running again for 100%?

Blessings,
~*Radiant 36:9*~

Hi NightHawk1958 :-)

I am glAd you enjoyed my poem! Of course, copy my poems (but mind the copyright) ;D

Have a blessed weekend,
~*Radiant 36:9*~

that stuff isnt fixed yet fencer. its still happening on an off throughout the day

Rex: That was caused by our performance problems. THey should be fixed, I hope.

Should free up some bandwidth too. :)

thank you fencer

Not sure if this an valid issue, or if you are actually doing upgrades to the site, but as of late there have been numerous times where I get the "BrainKing is currently being upgraded" page, but a sec later its back up. then about 5 min later I get that page again. just thought I would bring this up, if it is an issue?

Bernice: THanks for your suggestions, I'll write them down :=)

I have been viewing the player list and have noticed that people have joined way back when and have never played...SUGGESTION ONLY...put a time limit on how long they have to play their first game..and if they havent played..delete their profiles...makes for more room for you Fencer.(well i think it would)also your histories in your message boards could be deleted...anything older than a month perhaps...just trying to help here :) you still do a great job FENCER

Kevin: In your game with volvath you and your opponent did not complete at least two moves so this game was not rated.
Rose: I am still doing more and more tests to find out what is wrong.
Ruby: Done.

I noticed that, even though it says you will have a provisional rating at 4 games and established at 25, it seems to be 5 and 26. Right now i have 4 rated games of anti checkers completed, and am still unrated. I also remember it took 26 Spider Line4 to get an established rating.

Hi Fencer
Not sure if you know this so wanted to bring it to your attention. It seems half of my team havent been able to access the site since Thursday. Molly and Eddie cant get in even to the main page. I just heard from another lady that said shes talked to alot of ppl at GT who arent just experienceing the outages we are but cannot access the site at all. Just wanted to let you know

hi fencer my game with manicotti molly # 24611 has been timed out but she cant get into the site so would it be possible for you to put it back on for us please
thank you

It seems to be ok now.
Thank you very much!!!

I've just quicky implemented the auto-repairing code. If you find a similar problem with other games, just try to click on them.

Try them now.

I'm having the same problem. Game #24407. I took my turn, but it's still showing up as my turn, when actually it's my opponent's turn.

I'ii "second" that. :-)

Fencer...thank you so much..what a job you must have keeping up with all the requests and also the problems you are currently having...KUDOS to you :)

I have a game #26311 showing on my main page as my turn to move,it's my opponents turn. Can you help Fencer?

For all your hard work in fixing the site...all seems to be working for me now :0) hope for everyone else too :)

hiya Blind Fury - Atomic Chess was installed recently :-)

Atomic Chess

Thanks Fencer.:)

We are currently solving some server problems. Please be patient.

it takes forever to get onto the site, and when i finally get here and play a game, i hit submit and get a grey screen. i'm on web, but have a friend with a pc that's having same problems.

Yea I have been getting it all day long too. when i click to send a game turn or see messages.. i have to keep hitting my back button or to resend again my message in a game will be gone and I hve to retype it

I keep getting "brainking.com upgrade" msg. every time I click on a game. Not all the time, just most the time and when I clicked on this to send it.

All seems just fine to me. The rules are very easy to understand. Another job well done. Thx again.

:-) I hope that I've implemented Halma correctly. If not, please let me know.

A big ((((((( Bear Hug ))))) for fencer.Thx for my fav game.

Dear Radiant 36:9 I read your poem and enjoyed it do you mind if i have a copy...as for to say a written one by you...nighthawk1958 (aka) Eddie
