ScarletRose: That is something harley started, and she goes through the trouble of collecting all the questions and such - so I believe she picks who gets interviewed or not.... when she has time and such.

BIG BAD WOLF: kewlness I didn't know if there was a little poll thingy or not ..

Jason: Sorry to reply so late. I jumped over your message, sorry. I will say a game during less than 2 hours (1 for each). Probably I didn't click the right boxes?

Jason: You were right! Thank you for your advice.

I have launched a new Janus game with 1 hour for each.

I will wait until 17.30h if someone is interested in else I will cancel the challenge.

ScarletRose: maybe an idea for something interesting to do.would be for each member getting to cast a vote on"who should be interveiwsed next".

Tuesday: Sure... Why not?

Tuesday: I think the key factor should be who we ALL vote is the most interesting person at the time to be intereviewed.
we should ALL be allowed to be picked.
is it not fair?
harley,it is your concept? very good idea.

hopefully we are all friendly,democratic.

I don't understand the reason for this "voting". If you think somebody's cheating, let Fencer know. Period. Why would BK need some voting?

but if its her baby,its up to harley to open it for input.

Pedro Martínez: we are talking about harleys interviews not cheating at this moment.

nobleheart: OH, sorry, forget I said something...*shrinks back under the table*

it ok relax...8^)

Sorry for this completely OFF-TOPIC but it's a kind of emergency......

What kind of unit the "lbs" represent? Mass unit, force unit......etc.....?
And how many Kilograms (if it's actually a mass unit as i suspect) are 400 lbs?

Thanks..........

Chessmaster1000: lbs. That's pounds weight. 2.2 pounds = 1 kg.

Google's quite good for conversions: 1 kg in lbs

Thanks.......Do you mean that pounds = lbs so it's also valid that 2.2 lbs = 1 Kg

Chessmaster1000: Next time you can allways ask Google ;)

Thanks for the huge tip.............!
GOOGLE is #1 to rephrase a well know statement.......

Chessmaster1000: 1 kilogram (kg) = 2.2046 lbs (pounds)
it is very confusing converting from metric to avoirdupois, and back LOLOL

also centigrade to fahrenheit and back.

dollars and cents to pounds, shillings and pence LOL

Im still inclined to think in the old weights/measures etc and convert even tho the conversion was made in about 1967 or there abouts HAHAHA

Please Help, How do I get my main page back on english ? I just logged on, I don't even know what language I'm seeing ?

Go to the bottom of the page, it should be in the bottom left corner. Click the UK flag.

Press the Union Jack flag on the log-in page?

Thank You !!! I got it back to english . I was totaly confused. I didn't expect what I saw. Thanks again !

Or the bottom of this page.

if you select this "no days off" does this just mean no weekends included or no holiday/vacations allowed ?

Jason: Why don't you click on that little question mark which would lead you to this page?

Fencer: thanks

Chinese Chess, Japanese Moku, GO, different kinds of Checkers games such as brazilian checkers, Italian Checkers, Polish Checkers like on itsyourturn.

McduellMUG: Good suggestion. Do you know Shogi is most probably already planned for this year?
That may be a joyfull news for you :-)

playBunny: I am not trying to be a know-it-all,but to those who dont know.it is worth the time to learn something about boolean logic & some of the useful ways a search engine can be used.
play bunnys example is just one.their are many math functions many search engines can perform. re google for example,see more:
http://www.google.com/help/features.html#calculator
http://www.google.com/help/calculator.html
http://www.google.com/help/features.html#currency
------
also it also helps zero in on exactly what you are looking for without a lot of"thrashing"( that is touring many search result pages).

McduellMUG: Xiangqi: Chinese Chess would be great,I agree.

nobleheart: No worries on my account, o noble one, you've just informed me about Google's currency converter which saves me having to go to xe.com. :-)

Who is this new "django asyl" that did this?

I write this post because i think Brainking is a place to play games and not post ranting private posts so i want Fencer to do something for this......
What this? I mean how a new user (django asyl) that only today joined Brainking, has an opinion about me and some others and know some things for Brainking, if he hasn't another ID. And guess what: one of his first acts as a member of Brainking is to send me a strange message.....:

[START OF MESSAGE]
Subject: thanks to your friend playdummy you'll appear in criminal neighbourhood now

Guess that's okay, heard you are
a cheater anyway, havce a nice day.

[END OF MESSAGE]

That thing, with people having multiple ID's that don't have a life and try to get a meaningful one by writing nonsense and wait for reactions, starts to get annoying........Actually i don't care at all if they even send me 400 such messages and my reaction will be zero, so their happiness by seeing that i react will vanish, but i want to prevent them by letting to people know what kind of morons they are, to do the same again........

But the worse thing is that this "django asyl" is another member of Brainking and it's a matter of time to make another ID......It doesn't matter anyway.......!

Chessmaster1000: What's the problem? He is already banned.

No problem for me, but i think that i had to report this, as every other member that receives such messages should do......
By the way i think the "system" of having new Pawns has to change a bit......But i can't figure out how........?!?!?!?

Chessmaster1000: I know how. But I won't say it because it would disprove its very sense.

If BK has a fault or weakness it is the inability to prevent Multi Nic's from being created by trouble makers.

When a new person shows up on General Chat they are scrutinized, ignored, mistreated and sometimes falsely accused of being someone else, all because of Multi Nic's.

I am sure some of us have at times offended innocent people just trying to make contact and develope friendships.

All of that has been caused by people like the one you pointed out. Sounds like Fencer resolved that pretty quickly.

Could guest players be prevented from doing anything but playing games? Is that a good idea? They could only post msg or send PM's after purchasing a memebership?

Chessmaster1000: I understand your complaint,however,its against the user agreement to post pm's,on public discussion boards.

ClayNashvilleTn: Could guest players be prevented from doing anything but playing games? Is that a good idea? They could only post msg or send PM's after purchasing a memebership?

Or perhaps after an established player (a paying member or a good Pawn) has vouched for them - as judged from sane and friendly game messages (which should always be allowed) or by already being friends from elsewhere. Maybe it could require 2 or 3 or more people's vouching, or perhaps the vouching player could be deemed the "responsible adult" and therefore suffer consequences if the new pawn is disruptive enough to require banning. That last idea is to help prevent frivolous vouching and, especially, self-vouching of multiple nicks.

The scheme used on the FIBS forums is that new players can't post messages until they have played 50 games. That's an easy strategy to implement but I quickly discovered the drawback. I had trouble creating my account on FIBS and wanted to send a bug report - but wasn't allowed to until I had reached my 50. Duh? But that problem's easy to deal with: Pawns could be allowed to post bug reports and send messages to the moderators right from the start.

bwildman: Lol. That's the rule, of course, but ... that was a PM consisting entirely of messages posted on a public discussion board (last night, before they were deleted). And the rights of a disruptive person who's got himself banned ... ?

playBunny: I prefer the ClayNashvilleTn suggestion, because simple, clear and efficient.

Spirou: Yes, I like Clay's idea too, and it's by far the easiest to put in place, but I wonder whether the boards would lose more than they gain (especially the Jokes board!).

playBunny: 2questions....
1)if they were deleted on another board...what makes it ok for this one?
2)does the UA only apply to some?

playBunny: Help me dear (very limited english) :-) "Jokes board" is that jokes 'Pawns' could write? If yes, I think it is not a serious lost compared the vileness they could issue without paying a not really expansive fee.

bwildman: 1) I wouldn't have reposted those messages here myself, but George (ChessM1000) wanted to protest the fact that he received them as spam. (I did, in fact, send him a message recommending that he delete that post as it gives extra exposure to the Danofool but in the meantime Fencer responded and it became a moot point.)

2) Do you think the UA should protect people who have been banned?

As an aside, I think the use of the word "guidelines" in the User Agreement weakens it. Users must ".. agree to the following guidelines:". That tells me that judgement is required and that not following a guideline is an option. A rule is definite and can be obeyed or broken (or bent if you want to allow that). A guideline is either followed or not, but it is a choice. Perhaps it should be changed to "rules".

bwildman: Yes I believe that it does. You can numerous incidences of it almost daily. It depends on who you are, who you know, and if the board on which it's posted is Moderated by a friend.

Wonder what may be UA.
