Pedro Martínez: I think when the sections ended, the SB could have been calculated perfectly right, but over the years the saved SB turned to 0 by a bug. I assume this cause many of this tournament players have a 0 SB, if so : 1 of you would have noticed it and many of them would have claimed very loud for correction. But maybe I'm just wrong...

badgerboy78: so he needs a 2. account to unsure his rating, how poor from him. DiceCheater/Moistfinger was by the way involved in the last couple of discussions about slow player and he often complained as mucht, that the moderator deleted some of his flaming posts. Well, now it's official I don't need anymore to take DiceCheater serious in any discussions, to have a 2nd active account is ridiculous and poor.

Aganju: thank you

is it for an administrator possible to correct ONLY the points calculated by brainking after a move or does he need to restart the whole game? my opponent got from 39 to 16 after a roll of double-2, so 15 pieces disappeared... i wrote already about the issue 2 days ago through the contact form but didn't got any answer, so I'm wondering if I should move on and maybe loose the game cause of this single error, even if I was supposed to win?
Cloning Backgammon (TheAlchemist vs. speachless)

ThunderGr: you're very welcome

ThunderGr: you wrote *Speachless wrote much more....in HIS comments*
HER please, I'm a woman :-)

Justaminute: good point

Papa Zoom:

Dice Cheater: i can stand behind every single word i wrote to you, and as i can see from the posts you generated after your complaining about slow players, i think there are enough people thinking similar as i do.

and btw: thx that you made me "aware" that my nickname speachless isn't english grammar - well it's because it's just a nick and didn't need to have the definition of speechless. but if you think you need to point up, go on feel free to show us your "innocent" posts again...

Hrqls:

Marshmud: i understand what you mean. but if someone comes in an open forum here to complain about people that "should learn to play faster" as he say, then this might be same humiliating for them "who doesn't play as fast DC think they should" ....so i think if people cant manage temperament and direct reactions on their complaining against people that play for fun in another speed, then they maybe shouldn't complain over other players in public.... so if any opinion is allowed, maybe also mine is...

i don't think it's ok to shoot against players that use their possibilities given by brainking.com as standard possibilities

Universal Eyes: yes, you're right about the time tracking, i agree totaly

ThunderGr: a little bit of temperament doesn't hit anyone - i think. and i don't think either this board is ALL about aaru. i can stand behind what i wrote 'cause i hear this complaining a lot around all boards and i just had enough for a while :-) that is how my temperament went from 0 to 50 :-) i think dice cheater is old enough to reply to my thread how he thinks he should.

Dice Cheater: seriously? here we are speaking about an issue and you take the chance to complain about slow playing users? come on!!!! we have here options given, that are used from players as they are, no more no less.
so tell me, if players like you that complains about opponents that only uses the options set by the game-opener would it not be better for you only to join games with "no vacation days" set to maybe 1 day or 5 hours or whatever you think is fast enough?

there are players here that enjoy playing on another way as you use to do, they enjoy playing "move by move" without having the stress to play a game fast till the end.

if i have the possibility to join 1500 games at 1 time, 'cause i'm paying for that possibility, i can't see why i should be wrong, just because i enjoy playing differently as you do!

it's very annoying, you didn't very bring any input that matters the issue of aaru, you just came in and complain about "slow playing players"... i don't see the fact... why don't you ask for a new forum board and call them "slow players on brainking"... if it helps

Roberto Silva: Maybe it is more related to aaru 'cause in one of my games aaru went time out too.... ?

Fencer: Thanks a lot for your infos Fencer, I appreciate the fact that you verified the code. I will still use Fischer's clock as it works pretty fine to me.

Fencer: Dear Fencer, do we have a general problem with Fischer's clock? Aaru is loosing lot's of them 'cause of time out, but in all of them the bonus time didn't work.... i use to set Fischer's clock on my new games/tournaments, but if it doesn't work in general or is it a singular error that occured several times to aaru?....... (aaru posted here various issues on his time-outed games)

thanks for taking care

beach: that's a very good point ***I LIKE

Fencer: thanks a lot Fencer for your answer. I appreciate that :-)

Fencer: dear Fencer. did you find a fix for the bug which allows to brain pawns to join single elimination tournies, even if they have +2000 running games? It still happens so it wasn't fixed yet?

here an example of a newly opened tournament where a brain pawn with +2000 running games was still able to join and start: petty tournament

if you couldn't find a fix for that bug, why don't you just block those 2 or 4 brain pawns which still take advantage from the system without paying?

i don't want to complain, it's just a question. hope you're gonna find some time to answer.

ThunderGr: it's not only the case of brain rook joining before they got brain pawn.

in this example the tournament a brainpawn was able to join. this player had already +2000 opened games, so why was it possible for him to start in this running tournament as pawn with +2000 running games?
petty tournament
so this seams for me like i could stop paying for brain rook and then still be able to join open tournaments with single elimination even if i have +2000 or so...?

Hi All
A question. The bug is known that Brain Pawn can join over 2000 games and new tournaments even if they are already Brain Pawn since months...

some player noticed that and stop paying for membership and still join new tournaments.

so should i do the same, 'cause they are taking advantage but no one of the administrators kick them out because of them.

so even if brain pawn have only 10 days vacation per year, maybe it is better to get brain pawn?

Fencer: Hi Fencer
We have also the issue in Crowded- and Cloning-Backgammon. The additional or cloned pieces aren't counted for a gammon if still outside at the end of the game. It means i got 2 points instead of 3 or 5 for a gammon. BK makes a difference if the pieces outside are catched or cloned/additional... Do you have a possibility to fix that?

aaru: i think fencer should restart both games and take back the rating as it was before the time out. did you write him?

cd power: no clue about this rule...think my opponents either...

Aganju: Thanks a lot Aganju. I'm relieved to hear that :-)

Hi, I have a question, if the time LIMIT is set to 15 days, but the game is a 5 games match, does it mean for every single game of those 5 the limit is 15 days, so 5 games x 15 days = max. 75 days? or is the limit of 15 days for all of the 5 games, so for the whole match?

Walter Montego: Thank's a lot for your follow up Walter. Nice to know. I think I can live with it.

Bernice: yes, to the web-administrators... if there are any.

Walter Montego: i agree with you, if the creator of a game turns autopass on it shouldn't be possible to turn it off. but this wasn't my issue actually, opponent and me as well had both autopass turned on for the affected games. but the problem seamed to be a temporary problem, it didn't happen again today... so everything is fine.

did you already propose your idea to the admins?

hi all
the last 24 hours i'm having auto pass issues on different games against different players, it means even if the opponent can't make a move, he has to confirm the pass... is there anyone else that has the same issue on games with active auto pass? there is no doubling in the affected games...

jadarite: you seams to get pissed off to me, you turn to an agressive mode, I don't need to discuss at your deep level about it. if you're not able to use the note-function before sending a move, then just get over it !

jadarite: Isn't it in life and in games as well corresponding that sometimes people make a wrong decision/move, and we usually don't get the opportunity to turn the time back? If people click to send their moves, it doesn't care if it was a wrong move, it is part of the game to make mistakes or am I wrong? If you're not sure about a move, you just shouldn't send.

Carpe Diem: i play also for fun and not for the BKR, but when a loose is 100% the game for me is decided and i loose the interest to play it till the end. i think it's individual, so if you feel to resign a game, just do it.

ellieoop: when i had some days ago problem with the slow brainking site i tried several things to see if i have a local problem. therefore i tried with chrome as well, but also with safari, firefox and internet explorer. didn't help at all. also tried to delete the history cause i use to make lots of moves a day, tried to deactivate and reactivate my wi-fi connection, etc.... usually i don't have problems with brainking but the mentioned day i had like lots of other users. it just seams some users had problems and other not.

Bernice: oh, I'm sorry your post getting deleted... i only confirmed to crosseyed post that i'm having the same problem while loading the brainking pages. but i'm not a web administrato, which means i don't know if it has to be a local problem or not. off course i use to restart the browser and deactivate and reactivate my wireless connection to be sure it isn't a local problem. but if this actions don't work i can imagine the brainking server is slow, as all other web pages worked well to me... but again, i have no clue, i'm not a web administrator... and thanks Bernice for the private PM, that I actually didn't understand so far, but maybe it's because of my less english knowledge...

having the same problem today, very long waiting time for each couple of moves. all other sites work very well...

Fencer: well then.... thanks

is there a possibility or any option that can be used to avoid people adding me in tournament teams, without being asked before?
i don't like to be added without being asked before... but i couldn't find any option in the settings...any idea?

Bluefin: hi bluefin, i have tried it out and if you block someone, he will not be able to see your new games waiting for opponents. but if you open a tournament, you need also to ban him from tournaments you open, both links for doing it are in the players profile that you want to block...

rod03801: thx a lot rod03801...it's really interesting that other refer the same problem. but not all users or boards seams to be affected, this makes it tricky for the support...

thx, i will have a look on your link

thisbeme: me i even didn't had to switch to small board size, cause it already was, but anyway the graphic is missing, this is what irritates me so much... but anyway, i don't think filip fencer will care, it seams to me he didn't take it for serious cause he's convinced i just need to switch to the small board size.... what already is! i think i will just stop playing plakoto...

Fencer: thx fencer for checking, you just need to click on the plakoto games with your own settings to SMALL-sized board and you'll see the same as I do...

pedestrian: thx pedestrian for checking on your games too, i saw only now your post :-)

i will keep the running plakotos that shows the same problem OPENED as long as I can...

Fencer: clear thx Fencer.... but my game settings are set already to small... so anyway, I see you can't or want help... so thx for your precious time and i will follow your hint and go to the backgammon forum...

thx again

pedestrian: thx a lot pedestrian for your support

Fencer:I'm not sure if I understand right what you're meaning about the plakoto graphics....maybe ironically? anyway, i can't pay a game, when i have to be aware of disappeared pieces...it makes a strategic game impossible to me, since the board setting is set to small...

so is it right that no one will follow up the plakoto problem, cause you're thinking there is no problem?

Fencer: I appologize I did Fencer.... yes you're right with the Fevga Games, i know the rules but having problems with the plakoto games crashed me to analize the fevga games wrongly... and sorry i didn't realize you're having specific forum boards, i just didn't knew it...

i will follow the plakoto problem on the specific board... but sincerely, the game settings are already set AT SMALL, since beginning and how can i play properly plakoto, if i can't see the right situation? and there are also plakoto games which works properly...

so thx again Fencer for your precious time, i came to you cause i didn't get any answer from your tech support, since i told them that my settings are already at small position... so another player gave me the hint to email you directly...

so sorry again and take it easy, nobody got hurt or something

here is the list for people who is wondering:

FEVGA_BOARD
opponent had to pass the 3. roll, even if he had the possibility to move:

hi all, at first i hope you understand my english, that is more puzzled together as anything else...

since a week i had to report 6 plakoto and 2 fevga games to the tech staff because rolls were processed wrongly....

fevga-typical problems are: 2 rolls of 6+6 and 5+5 couldn't been played by the opponent, he had to pass over to me, even if we were already since min. 3 moves running the game, so it wasn't a pass over at beginning of a random game.... he you can see an example of the last passed roll:
Fevga (SolidGold vs. speachless)

at plakoto:
instead of trapping an opponents piece, you hit it, this happened on 6 different plakoto boards...

i went over some archived plakoto games and there i can see the problem sometimes too...

i'm interested if you are making similar experiences....

tech support told me to set the backgammon game setting to smal sized....but it was already, it's not that problem....

thx
