Dang I need more memebers in my F/S. I'll take all those pawns, then I will be equal to the same amount of pawns some of the other f/s have. LOL sorry, the devil made me say that. /
Assunto: I Promise this time (again) this is the LAST change!
I have changed the name of our fellowship from Animosity&AngerResolution to one of a more positive nature. BrainKingSupporters. All the goals stay the same. Our name inferred conflict and conflict is exactly what we do not want. Thanks for helping to keep things positive and thanks to all that have resolved conflict in a search for peace with all.
Assunto: Re: 21 fellowships with more than 100 members in
Jason: Very interesting! We now have 41 w/o a single pawn. If I calculated correctly, the newest f/s "Animosity & Anger resolution" using the magic pawn formula, just became the 22nd f/s to join the elite group!
Ignore baits and flaming
resolve differences if possible
turn the other cheek
build and promote harmony
honesty
integrity
positive peer pressure by example
forgiveness
earn respect by paying respect
We realize there is NOTHING wrong with BK. It is #1... We the people are it's own worse enemies.
If we the people have messed it up, then we the people can straighten it up.
The good people that play their games and mind there own business far out weigh those of us "on the public boards" that either don't or won't.
We want to help resolve that by changing our own actions through positive peer pressure.
OK, I had several complaints about the Name and rightly so. It will no longer be referred to as Flame Pit II but rather,Animosity & Anger
This fellowship is open to anyone and the discussions will be concerning anything that one may be upset about. The only rule is that we not use sexual connotations or innuendos and the language be of a discussion nature and not the belittling of each other just for sport.
You are encouraged to be factual in your comments.
Backoff:The REAL purpose is exactly as I have previously stated.
When the *conversation was* permitted in order to offend me, because every thing else anyone offered failed, I left. It was disgusting obsene and beneath BrainKing or anyone of decency.
Members need an alternative where there are some basic standards for reasonable people to conduct themselves.
I think perhaps Back Off got him self into a pickle by stating he had no rules and set no standards even to the point "IF someone opposed obsene language the person opposing said language would be removed from the Flame Pit."
Mankind has proven over and over that when no standard exist, man kind will fail to exist.
It sounded OK in Principal but failed, when put into practice.
rod03801:I joke entirely way to much Rod. We have no intention of doing that. We will try to maintain a high degree of maturity and try to heal and mend even of those that can't seem to do so. Sorry for your misunderstanding.
Give us a chance, i think all participants will be given a fair shake with out past rivals and old mistakes constantly dwelled on.
bwildman:Since you asked I will respond to your question.
There is just to much hate and belittling going on in Flame Pit l. I could handle that part but when the *adult subject* stuff started and no attempt was made to restrict it, I felt it was time to withdraw from that F/S and try to come up with one that gave people a choice.
There are legitimate times for disagreement. People should feel they have a place to do that. But the constant bickering and belittling of people not present to defend themselves, especially when the criticizers were as bad, if not worse of their past, got to be more than I could handle.
Thanks Fencer, it is now operative. I would like to publickly invite you to be among the first charter memebers. I dare you to turn this invite down.
Mine will be different. I will have Moderators hopefully around the clock.
1) Our goal will be to resolve differences and Unite for the betterment of BK.
2)We will encourage Adult language, meaning mature, appropriate from those that are capable of expressing themselves, speaking and using the Kings English w/o profane and vile remarks.
3)We will discourage vulgar, innuendoes or lewd or descriptive sexual acts.
4)We will try to respect EVERYONE and will belittle no one especially behind ones back.
5)At times the fur may fly, but our goal is to resolve differences. Not create them.
These guidelines will be subject to change from time to time and are only now presented to help everyone understand the differences in Flame Pit #1 & Flame pit # ll
If you are intrusted in joining such a F/S please request by clicking on the following link:
I tried to create a Flame Pit II. It would have had rules that limited what could be said, but would be of the same nature with the Goal being resolution and not confrontation.
I was able to impliment it,then it dropped from my screen, with a Message that said, a fellowship with this name already exist. It is now listed on the Fellowships page , but I can not get into it to change the name nor can I rename another because it is charged against me as one of the only two that any memeber can have.
If you are a BIG BOSS of a f/s and have ever wondered what you can do to improve your f/s, how to set up tournaments, f/s tournaments,or just want to rub elbows with other BIG BOSSES then please join. Our goal will be, for all of us to work together and improve BrainKing in any way we can as a support group.
A site where all BIG BOSSes can work to gather as a support group for BrainKing. There is so much untapped knowledge and experience that hopefully this site can and will promote the free exchange of information which will help us all be the very best BIG BOSS that we can.
1) Exchange Ideas
2) Get help and advice
3) Do's and Don'ts
4) Setting guide lines
5) Writing Descriptions
6) How to deal with difficult members
7) Promoting unity
8) Understanding the rules
9) Resolving problems
10 )Fun and fellowship
PS. I am not creating this site to be the BIG BOSS of the BIG BOSSes. If at anytime you feel someone else could and would do a better job I will gladly, with my full support, shift this responsibility. I ask only that we not attack each other and or cause problems and that we all try hard to be positive and be of help to one another...
baddessi:Nope, wrong answer. I really have been amazed, that there has only been one Mod pointed out so far by several different memebers. It is very eye opening and a very intresting F/S.
What is mainly discussed so far, is obvious patterns and not much on Moderators that try hard to follow the code of honor.
Stevie: I think his inference is that you were starting it, with what appears to be a baiting remark. Appears he had cleared the air with rod and everything was fine, especially after he said ok,ok, back on topic please :)

Fencer: Awww Fencer, you know that before I would desire to allow someone else to make money off my money in interest I would lose by depositing "before" the tournament is over, (which could be SEVERAL WEEKS); I will simply forward the amount to be paid for the 1st years' winner's pot in the amount of $4.00 to be deposited for each tournament winners' gains for year one. Please respond with your private Swiss Bank Account # and I will deposit into it forthwith!!!
OK........Here it is! Simplified! Pick your game choice or enter any and all of them! This tournament will also include outsiders from this Fellowship but will be a good way to meet new people and begin new friendships!
