I think two of my games have just disappeared. I'm pretty sure I had six waiting for my move but now it's only four(??).

Happy Happy, Y'all. :)

And 6am EST corresponds to midnight Czech time. The :20 is a baffler, though.

Happy new year

I think its just when various countries have changed to 2004.

If your game has timed out without reason, send Fencer the game number and I'm sure he'll re-instate the games when he comes online.

I have 19 games which either I or others have timed out in!

Yea - Something did happen

Earlier today, the game with the least amount of time left that I had was around 3 days, XX hours

About 4-5 hours later, I look now and the game with the least amount has 1 day, 1 hour.

It'a a Y2K4 bug that lost about 2 days!

People we got in czech 1.36 am :) Wait few hours , thanks :)

Y2K4

I have 8 games where other people timed out against me.

For my sister's account (SueQ), she timed out on 4 games where I did not think she was that close to timing out.

It looks like the games timed out when the system (Fencer's time) possible had their new year.

Mabye it's Y2K, just 4 years too late.

i am sure fencer will sort any that shouldnt of timed out tomorrow :) i know there is a known bug...dont know if this was it?

My tablut rating went up 200 points :) Now if I can just beat Ugh in tablut....

Oh, I guess my 8x8 Bkr didnt drop TOO much.. but more than I'd like! lol..
Stop partying Fencer, and come back online! LOL
j/k my friend!

Well I'm glad I'm not alone.. Thanks..

My halma 8x8 bkr is my baby! lol.. im gonna be bummed if I can't get it back where it was..

I didn't pay attention, I just read the messages when I got home.

yes it was about an hour ago.. or so???

was it at 620pm Eastern zone by any chance? (approximately an hour ago)

i had 8 games where people had timed out too.. some i know about as they are no longer on the site since the crash and they are a 5 game match.. so have a few more to come yet... but others were out of the blue

yep, i timed out on four games which i had at least five days left on as of yesterday, i dropped fencer a note

I suddenly had four games that my opponents timed out in... but I didn't pay attention to the time... it did seem weird though....

I had 36 people time out against me, but I didn't time out with anyone.

Did anyone else suddenly experience some game time outs??? At exactly 6:20pm Eastern U.S. timezone, I timed out against 8 people, and 2 people also timed out against me (at this exact time too)

I KNOW this is a mistake, because the first thing I do when I come to brainking, is sort my game list in order of when it times-out, and I first move on any games with less than 2 days left, before moving on any others..
I know that last night before I went to bed I had tons of time on all my games!
I've already written to Fencer, I just was curious if anyone else experienced this..
I just hope my BKR's can be fixed.. it killed my halma ones!

Last I heard on eddie he was pretty upset about the loss of games in the crash and from what I'm told hes back playing lots of games at GT again., Hopefully he will be back here regularly as hes a fun guy!

I have not heard from him for awhile. I know that he was taking a break from playing games, and resigned many games. Not too long ago (a few weeks I think), I ended up starting a round 2 with him, and he went ahead and resigned those games - so at that time he was still checking in....

Gan ddumuno iechyd a hapusrwydd i chi yn 2004.

I wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year. Please be safe as you ring in 2004. I do not want to lose any good players.

Thank you Fencer Stastny Novy rok

I know by the time i wake up it WILL be New Year...so enjoy it at my expense LOL

Linda: Stastny Novy rok :-)
Or, if your browser can display Czech characters, Šastný Nový rok.

ROFL LongJohn hehe

ANYBODY...Im playing games with a lady here and she has expressed a real worry about Eddie Spaghetti....has anybody heard from him? apparently he was sick at Xmas time and hasnt been heard of since???
Sorry Harley, but Eddie Spaghetti WAS practically BK :)

Cz"HappyNewYear"ech

That is Happy New Year in"side" Czech

Fencer how do I say Happy New Year in Czech

Happy last day of the year and a Happy & Healthy & wonderful New Year

Right now it is very slow but there is 118 people online right now

often loading the boards incomplete for the last 2 weeks, have to "renew" often. For the rest BK is not very slow at the moment

Hey Scarlet Rose!

Happy New Yearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I will catch you all again.. after the 6th of Jan.. I am in the midst of moving.. so just popping on for short breaks every now and again..

be safe this holiday!

oh so true.
Especially with Microsoft products LOL

nothing wasted in a good reboot! cant hurt to clean out the proverbial cobwebs!

so I wasted that reboot for nothing LOL

Slow on my webtv

I thought it was just my PC Long John, keeps going slow then normal again.

I am finding it slow too

I tried spreading it out with spaces, but it wouldnt let me :o(

must be my connection then, thanks

Reboot time

BK FINE HERE

Does anyone else find BK really slow at the moment or is it just me?

Ok..thanks Fencer, seems we were typing at the same time :)

I dont care about BKR..its not relevant anyway since its so easy to cheat. My concern is if Fencer will allow multiple IDs from the same computer now when this "KM crap" fills the DBs.
*sigh*

Andersp: Nobody who is honest should be afraid of anything. There is no problem with more people sharing the same computer. I am preparing a new cheater-hunting system and some changes to the current User Agreement and until it is officially announced, no actions will be taken [except deleting certain users who regually fill my message box with obscene threats].

What if BKR was only counted in tournament play? Or if BKR could be turned off for people with the same IP address?
