Rose: Yes As a member of the Black Rooks Fellowship I know more about upcoming preview things. So normal White Rooks can't get access to the new login page?
Fencer: Quote found in the News archive: March Action! BrainKing offers a very special bonus this month - everybody who purchases a new membership or extends the current one, can create a prize tournament with the same membership as the prize for a winner for free. In order to create a tournament, you must have a Brain Rook level or higher, either before the membership purchase or after.
Play Cloning Gammon for a prize. , this tourney caused Cloning Backgammon to have more than 2500 games running! Is this also the biggest 21-point cubed Gammon tournament?
Gr☺uch☺: (*)The player who finishes at least 4 rated games of one kind (everybody who defines a new game can specify whether the game will be "rated" - the result will be calculated for BKR - or not), earns "provisional BKR" displayed by italic font (e.g. 1870). After finishing 25 rated games of one kind the provisional BKR changes to "established BKR" and is displayed by normal font (e.g. 1853). If you complete more games, your BKR is more accurate because is based on more results.
MadMonkey: You could aslo turn the things around in
Ambigious Dice Chess...
Whats that? Each time, mark a field where to play, but you can only mark an ambigious field ( where 2 or more pieces can go), then randomize which piece to go.
MadMonkey: But then you would have a 16 sided dice. Could be cool for a variant of course, but not to replace the rules, cause these are fine this way.
It looks like if a player has no rating, the rating becomes 0 (instead of 1300) for the Avarage BKR of a team in team tournaments. Is that true? (referring to http://brainking.com/nl/TeamTournaments?tri=70&trnst=10 Cloning Gammon Team tournament)
Fencer: As you have promised, public holidays aren't there anymore so you would give us 5 extra vacation days. When I look at my profile I see that there are 40 days left not 45!
BIG BAD WOLF: The only way to play this game is on the (fellowship)stairs. All other ways are protected by some cool algorytm. The game is still in test-phase.
2) Black Rook Special - due to a good success of the May Action, it is here again with a small improvement. Everybody who purchases the Black Rook membership (which never expires), can either choose another user who will receive the same membership for free, or ask us for a new BrainKing feature (except auto-pass ) which would be implemented with the highest priority. Of course, such a feature request must be reasonable and possible to do.
