Gabriel Almeida: Here i would agree more with Ferjo, that we should be more patient. The prob on this site were the instable connections in the last days, and it's clear that this would have priority. Now the connection to Brainking is working as good as ever, and the next things on fencer's Todo-List would be done, hopeful some work in rule-description included.

Ferjo: When it is allowed that one can make a second
Brainking account, for family members or whatever, then our prob can be solved easily: we create simply a second account, and play nonrated Turkish Checkers games with our first account, so we can check up by experience which rule is appended and which is not,
without have to get this experience by surprise in a rated game.

CryingLoser: More patient? For what? Fencer priorities are very strange. Portuguese people tried introduce classic checkers in BK, we did a petition, I wrote an article in Brainrook and until now, nothing. I think Francesco LaRocca requested him to introduce Italian checkers, Ustica requested to introduce pool checkers, and many people already request him to introduce international and Russian checkers. These are the variants more played in the world (classic, international and Russian checkers). What did Fencer do? He introduced Hawaiian checkers, a stupid game, played in small islands in Pacific North. This is a joke? Who many people requested him this game? Is Hawaiian checkers priority? But wait, there’re more incredible games like one way checkers or parachutes checkers. In one way checkers, the white player has clear advantage. Is it an interesting game? Is this priority? Not, for me.
So, because of that reasons, when I’m finished my games here, I’ll leave BrainKing. I prefer play in Ludoteka.com. There, I can play Classic (Spanish) checkers, anglo-american checkers, International checkers, Russian checkers, Italian chechers, Pool checkers, Turkish checkers (with true rules), Thain checkers and Frisian checkers.Besides, I prefer play in real time.
Like Fencer said: “BrainKing is not afraid of a competition, so feel free to visit other game sites and compare them with us :-)”. OK Fencer, for me Ludoteka is better than BrainKing. http://www.ludoteka.com/juegos.html?hizk=en

!Undertaker!: Well, Undertaker... you said the name! ;)
I think this is the point! Noone who really likes checkers can understand Fencer's options in this kind of games. And that's why we - checkers players of brainking - are playing in Ludoteka. There, we REALLY can play checkers. That's it...

!Undertaker!: I agree with you. Although I mainly play other games, the fact that things like this are ignored here at BK makes this site a much poorer site than is should be. View my profile for my thoughts on this. I did not renew my paid membership when it ran out many months ago and I will probably leave when I finish the few tournaments I am still active in.

Everyone: Just so you are all aware, writing on the checkers board won't change anything. Fencer does not read this board! If you would like to write so that the management listens this is not the place to do it. Either write on a public board that Fencer reads more (such as the Feature requests board) or message him directly. Just be sure not to expect an imediate response.

nodnarbo: That is exactly what I was going to say....besides being a public board, Fencer doesnt like grievances aired publicly. Write him a PM and you might have more luck in getting a reply.

nodnarbo: "Just be sure not to expect an imediate response"? ahahah. Of course, I know that. There're one year and some months ago, I sent a message to Fencer, asking when he would go to introduce classic checkers in BK. His answer was: In soon. Do you see classic checkers here?
Ah, and if I or you or other people talk about checkers on a public board like BrainKing.com or Feature requests, he despises that comment. It's simple.

!Undertaker!: Exactly!
Maybe we should PM him just linking this board! ;)
I'll do that!
