I imagine the alphabets are quite different also.... what would be the French equivilant of "q"?, or even Japanese?

coan.net: It's not only the dictionary that is different in the various languages, it's also the distribution of the letters and the value in points of each. I think the only common thing for all languages is the board layout, but I can be wrong here.

Subiectul: Re: Just curious....
Bernice: I also would think it would be difficult because of the different languages.

But if you have free available dictionaries for different languages (like I know there is for English), I would guess the simplest solution (if they were to make a word game here.) would to be make different games for each language. (Like English Word game, Czech word game, Spanish word game, etc...) - That way if a tournament is made for "word game", you don't accidentally get an English only player (like myself) matched up with someone who can't read English.

Some-what good news for those who would like word games is that I could have sworn that A LONG TIME AGO (years), Fencer was very interested in making a type of word game for the site... and I thought was working on it at one time. Maybe he decided against it... or maybe just got sucked into other projects and the word game had been put to the side... or then again, maybe I'm just imaging it.

Bernice: I would disagree due to many languages. Not worth the hassle to make on this gamesite, since alot don't speak well in English. It would cause such unfair BKR and so forth.

Babe68: I also love them.....it isnt hard....just change the name and make sure the double/trebles etc are in different places...the hardest part is the dictionary I would think. The one that GoldToken uses isnt complete so many many words aren't available...but I still love playing word games :)

How come BK doesn't have any type of word games like "scrabble"?

Is there any chance of that in the future?

Just curious :)

Tomorrow, my rook status runs out. I've given up on trying to pay via either Moneybookers or Paypal. The former has happily taken my money, but since then tells me my account is locked due to lack of funds. The latter happily takes either a CC number or a bank account number, and while I've been able to pay with them for quite some time, for some unspecified reason, they now no longer the bank, nor the credit card.

So, this is the end of 5 years of BK for me. I do not wish to continue as a pawn.

Subiectul: Maximum number of waiting games?
It seems you can only have a maximum of 50 games on the "waiting games" list at a time. I guess it's fine to have an upper limit, but shouldn't it be stated somewhere, for instance in the membership conditions? If it is, I can't find it.

Moreover, when I try to create waiting game no. 51, I get the usual message:

"New game has been successfully created."

even though the game wasn't created.

Subiectul: Re: how to appear message board under chessboard?
To add a third reason of my own:

3) We have PMs and discussion boards for talking to people, but when playing I don’t want to waste time thinking up a reply to the random messages my opponent is sending, especially when there are other games waiting where it’s my turn.

11. Mai 2010, 09:22:33
AbigailII 
Subiectul: Re: how to appear message board under chessboard?
Pedro Martínez: Why? I can give you two reasons: 1) not having messages means people can't say something to me, and then get all worked up because I don't reply. 2) it reduces the distance between the board and the submit button, which reduces scrolling.

Bernice: It is working fine.

The other day (when I posted) it was at 13. On Monday, it was at 12 (which is what you seen.)

As of 1 hour, 31 minutes ago (The start of Tuesday according to Server time) - their vacation days are now at 11 since it already timed out on a game.

Subiectul: Re:
Bernice: I think if they have selected a day as vacation it comes off of the total when they set it, this then wouldn't alter there total. You could try setting a day in the future yourself and see what happens to your total and then cancel it. Just a thought

Artful Dodger: On BrainKing, as soon as you set a vacation day, a day is subtracted from your total.

Any time BEFORE 12:01am (Server time I believe) you can remove the vacation day and the day will be added back to your total.

And I believe you have BK3 correct - or at least how I would think it would work.

Subiectul: Re:
coan.net: So when do the vacation days begin to drop off? Say I have vac days set (say 5 days) are they all deducted at once or is there a time frame where one can remove one or two days before you get to those days? (hope that makes sense)

And if I remember correctly, auto vacation is all we'll have with Brainking 3 and in fact is all we need to use as it will do the same thing only automatically. Right?

coan.net 
Subiectul: Re:
Roberto Silva: Yes, it does look like they had vacation days set - if you look now, you can see tomorrow (7th) also set for a vacation day already (so they were probable planning on having these day off - so they are already deducted from the vacation # total)

The 8th & 9th are part of their weekend, so Monday the 10th if they are not back their vacation # should start to drop again.

Are we having a glitch where vacation days aren't being used up? I have an opponent timing out (for several days now) and is on auto vac. But the available days for vacs doesn't change. ;)
