Board for everybody who is interested in BrainKing itself, its structure, features and future.
If you experience connection or speed problems with BrainKing, please visit Host Tracker and check "BrainKing.com" accessibility from various sites around the world. It may answer whether an issue is caused by BrainKing itself or your local network (or ISP provider).
Tigger: Correct ...I had the same experience many times ...you always think the opponent got more doubles than you but in the end it isn't . But with these players ...mmm... dunno ...but they always got the right dice ...always in any single game ... people can be lucky sometimes but not always . I can't imagine how they could cheat but it is very strange . They are very good in skill games but meanwhile they are lucky in any single dice game .. Golden boys or what ????? :)
Family Man: That might be a good suggestion but when I create a tourney I want anyone to play . I will not exclude any BK player except for those 2 (let's say 3)...so I think it's better to throw them out just before the tourney starts
alanback: I will not mention their names on a DB cause otherwise I got a lot of american moderators or "would be "moderators over me again (story of my live ) lol but I think that people who play on BK for a few years all know who I'm talking about :)))
Eriisa: The dice wont work from time to time but there are these players for whom the dice always work even at the last moment ....when I'm sure to win a dice game (finally) one way or antoher they got double 6's or whatsoever and they alway always win .....it's sickening...I know this can happen but not day after day, week after week, year after year ....
alanback: I know but they are always winnig whatever we do. And they do in any game ...not only with dice but even in BB games. They never miss a boat ...I agree that in some games it's all about skills (like chess, mancale, reversi ....) but I'm sick and tired about some players who always (day after day, year after year) win any stupid "luck" game as well ... that's not normal ....they have to buy me a lottery ticket
Family Man: There are some players I will not play anymore ...during the years on BK it seems they can not lose any game ... strange but they always get the right dice at the right time .... I'm talking about 2 or 3 players but they always appear on any tourney . So when I got those guys as opponent I resign the game from the first move . I'd like to see a possibility not to play those players again ... even if I block them they always appear on tourneys :(((((
Does anybody knows if there's a possibility to exclude some players from tourneys we create ? I know we can create tourneys with players allowed tioll a certain rating but what I mean is to exclude some players by name ..f.e. players who always win any game (cheaters I mean)
redfrog: And what was not polite enough in the post you deleted ???? I was only repeating what Fencer said in response to my post . What the difference between Fencer and me ? He can say what he wants but I have to shut up or what ?
We are going the same way as it was on Goldtoken . We can only say things the moderators like , otherwise our post are deleted . Hey Redfrog ...this is Europe ... in Europe we are free to say what we want ! Stop deleting my posts ! This isn't the USA you know !!!!!
redfrog: Don't think so . I'm on BK since a few years and everything went perfect until last week . It's not only me and it's not only with Belgian users. It's a worldwide problem between users all over the world and BK . We got no problems with other sites. So I guess the problem must be somewhere in the Czech Republic
Oceans Apart: I don't care who's "problem" it is but it's a fact that I can surf on any site and everything goes fast and smooth except on BK . Problems started about one week ago and it's getting worse . I understand that some problems can't be solved in a wink of an eye. The only thing we can do is wait and see if it's getting better till the time our memberships expire . At that moment we can decide wheter we renew our memberships or not .
Bernice: It's a relief to hear all this . First I really thought it WAS me lol but now I hear that there are problems in the USA, in Europe and even down under in Australia .Let's hope it will go faster soon :)
Binabik: Same here . Fencer posted something about slow speed last week telling that everything must run smooth again . Well...nothing runs smooth . It takes ages to load a game, I have to quit and log in again and again and again and as you said...it's very frustrating
Fencer: that's right ...and nobody "forced" me to pay lol ..I was only paying for those members because I wanted them to enjoy this great site and they didn't have enough money to buy a membership or they didn't have a credit card and so on .... at his moment I'm afraid when I see things like this happen .I think the whole "brain" system stinks .. When a player pays a membership for another person I think you should give the brains automatically ...OK...I didn't read the whole stuff about the brain system , cause, as I said, I'm not interested in all that administration rubbish ....but now , more than one year later I cannot sign up for those tourneys ...I think that sucks a bit :)
We'll see what other improvements are coming up but I don't have a good feeling with this first one :(((
I have my doubts about this tournament system .
I bought lots of memberships for different players with my credit card but since I'm not interested in administration things, I didn't know about the brain system. This means I didn't mention whatever I needed to mention to obtain those brains . Right : at this moment I got 0 brains so I cannot sign up for this "improved" tournament system .
Besides this , I'm afraid this kind of tournaments will create a small group of elite players ..those who got "brains" :))Playing for more brains ....
Oh well ....not my problem ...I will go on playing "normal" games, but I think I'll stop paying new memberships for belgian players who got no credit-card or players who are afraid for internet payments. No more renewals of memberships with my credit card .
Fencer: Thanks Fencer ...and I made a lot of moves yesterday indeed but I started very early in the morning lol....when the site runs faster I can try to go for "the most active player ever"
Jules: A bit slow ???? Awfully slow I should say . It's getting worse every day . Now I have to re-log in about every two minutes. Problems started after te revision of Tuesday evening and it's getting worse . It takes me hours to make my moves . Hope Fencer can do something about it as soon as possible.
