Hi,
I offered a draw by mistake ( fat fingers! ) can that be cancelled?

beach: Oh yes I forgot about that.

Smiler.:  you can join brains tournaments even if you have no brains, it will just give them to you  that has been screwed up for years, that is why they became useless

chk: They are useless. Even if you happen to earn them in a tournament they are still useless. It is a bug l think that has never been sorted. Someone will correct me if l am wrong.

chk: Some people create games that you can use Brains which is what you must have done to have gotten so many Brains.

chk:  they are useless you can do nothing with them

Smiler.: So Brains are now senseless? Or what can I do with Brains else? The Help-Page only tells me that I can buy Memberships...???

chk: Brains are no longer used to buy membership. You only buy membership with real money.

First: Happy New Year!

I am not very long here and am still learning how things go.

After winning some Brains in a Tournament, I wanted to bought a Membership. So, on Dec, 15., I selected "Tower, six month". Then there was a red dot, explained as "waiting to be approved" in my "Brains history".

But nothing happened since today. After winning another Tourney, I thought: Maybe something went wrong, lets do it again, and chose "Tower, one year" a few days ago. But still waiting...

How long does it normally take to be approved?

Happy New Year>>>

HAPPY NEW YEAR

and the very bestest Christmas to you ;)

Merry Christmas everyone!

Mélusine: OK here ... S. Korea

Mélusine: OK here...Australia

beach: No, all is ok for me.

im ok est usa

furbster:  thanks I went and added a game from the waiting games and for some reason they are back thanks

beach: No, everything is fine on my end (UK)

does anyone have a problem with their games I have a blank screen none of my games will load

Marshmud: thanks Hun.

Bernice: no days off, no vacation time can be used

what does a red dot beside a game mean please.....

Aganju: It showed GMT London Lisboa. I modified it like you said to GMT+1.
I understand now where the time difference came from. Thank you !

Mélusine: is your computer's time correct? What does it show under timezone when you open https://brainking.com/en/Settings? a=df&fwa=Board!bc=1#hilite ?
(Should show GMT+1)
It works fine for me...

I find all these words exchanged a little terrible sometimes.
I think that the remark about the time difference is very relevant and it's worth to think about.
For example, for me who lives in France, I've exactly the same time as the Czech Republic, but on Brainking there's always at least 1 hour difference. I specify that we both use summer time and winter time.
So why 1 hour difference ?

where is all the players tonight

why do game players come into brainking and not update their games???

If you check the running games in this tournament (TIGER TOURNAMENT ТУРНИРА НА ТИГЪРА part 7), you will see two games where no move was made yet at all: aaru-Bluefin and Aganju-aaru.
However, both my games have only a day and change in time left, whereas the other game has still over seven days.
If nobody ever made a move in either game, how can there be such a difference? Shouldn't both games show the same remaining time???

Clandestine 1:

Bernice, I am simply responding to a public post. Do I think Fencer is trying to steal 3 Eur from you? Absolutely not. Do I think you should be asking him privately what happened and giving him a chance to explain? Absolutely. 

Bernice: You make it everybody's business by posting on an open discussion board. You make very unkind comments in your posts about people so who is being abused?

why am I explaining all this again?

cd power: no, no, no. it was the 15th my time...the very day it was due in Australia, and the bank told me it was attempted to be taken on AUSTRALIA 14th

Aganju: the reason I posted on here was not to be abused for doing it. NObody deserves to be abused when something has nothing to do with them

Bernice: Well, it is a public forum, so it's everybody's business. But in your last comment to Fencer, you said the bank attempts were made the day before your request, but if you think about it, you may have made the request in the morning of August 14 Australia time, which would have been Fencer's August 13 Czech Republic time, so his bank made the attempt to pull it "the day before" you did. Case closed.

Bernice: what do you mean 'stick your nose into it'?? Do you understand the term 'public forum'?? Why in the world would you post **publicly** if you don't want the public to see it and react to it???

Clandestine 1: and just who are you to stick your nose into this, Did I mention your name...NO....now just shut your face up....BLOCKED

Wow. Dirty laundry. Try a private message to figure your shit out. This sounds like computer operator error to me. And I’m giving my two cents because you’re posting this on a public forum. This is a private matter. Go public if you can’t resolve it in a fair manner. But it sounds like you never even tried. 

Fencer: Look lets drop it....But I will say this...the attempts were tHE DAY BEFORE I tried to renew my membership....Now with FRACHUNEK on each one 12 times, how would PayPal know it was my time to renew.

Bernice: If you read my response carefully, you would know that I actually checked my PayPal account. The history shows only one payment (3 EUR) sent by you, which is correct. There is no way I could pull money from any other account, so any accusations of doing something on my side are just preposterous. Let's see how the mentioned events could probably happen:

1. You tried to pay for the membership on PayPal. The account was either empty, or you selected the option "bank account" by a mistake. PayPal, logically, attempted to pull 3 EUR from the bank account linked to the PayPal account.
2. The bank refused the transaction for some reason. So, PayPal received an error message, and re-tried the operation after some delay. And again. And again. Many times over before it gave up.

It could be a different scenario, of course. Anyway, whatever happens after you place an order on BrainKing and get redirected to PayPal is only between PayPal and your bank. If there was a glitch on the PayPal side, causing multiple requests to your bank, that can hardly be my responsibility.

I have NO active auto matic payment with paypal and never have

Fencer: I have never recreated a recurring payment to any gamesite in my life, and have been here since 2000? How would my bank get your name on 12 proposed purchases...that DID come thru PayPal...Perhaps you could check YOUR paypal and see who woulda/coulda have done this. This would be appreciated by myself

Just in case anybody else has this issue:
1. Log in to your PayPal account.
2. Check the list of active automatic payments at https://www.paypal.com/myaccount/autopay/
3. Cancel everything that shouldn't be there.

Just returned from a long vacation. Hmm, interesting. BrainKing doesn't pull money from anywhere because the BrainKing account (I suppose that PayPal is meant by "BANK") doesn't use any automatically renewed subscriptions. We used to do it in the past, but it was deactivated many years ago due to some issues.

To be sure, I've just checked the PayPal account. There are eight subscription plans in the archive, and all of them were deactivated in 2009 or even sooner.

In other words, all payments for memberships must be activated by the respective PayPal account owner. And if someone creates a recurring payment, it is their own responsibility to cancel it in their PayPal account.

Bernice: Fair enough, just seems REALLY odd that would happen the day before. Maybe an auto-renewal? I don't know, just spitballing ideas. Obviously this will be for you to sort out with Filip, so I'll leave it at that. Good luck!

Carpe Diem: NO because the 12 attempts at getting money from my account were ONE DAY before I was trying to renew my membership

Bernice: Could this not have been attempts by BrainKing to transfer the funds that you were trying to renew the membership with? Either way, I'd suggest contacting Filip directly rather than relying on him reading your message here,
