That means you saved 43¢ Skyking. :)

I sent my Money Order just to Texas to Erissa LOL

They're common here in Southern California. Lot's of liquor stores sell them. The one that I buy them from in Huntington Beach charges me only 59¢ each for them. When I first asked the lady behind the counter if they were good out of the country, she said everywhere. I said even the Czech Republic? She said no problem. I sent it to Filip and she was right, he had no problem. She told me that most of the money orders that she sold were sent to Mexico or some of the Central American countries aside from being used locally instead of a personal check. She was tripping when I told her Czech Republic. I let her know she was right after Filip got the money order cashed.
It seems the United States has some of the most liberal banking and money rules around, though I'm not familiar with how other places do it and am just speculating from how most of the questions that people have are from people in different countries.

I have been told that if you fold money (notes) into a sheet of carbon paper that the letter cant be exrayed to see what is in it...I dont know if that still works with all the modern technology etc :)

International Money Orders? I dont know if we have them....I must enquire, would be even better if we did :)

Doesn't Iran have them? If not, then I guess some other way will come to light.
They work fine. Filip can cash them with no charges to do so. You make them payable to him, so no one else can cash them unless done so fraudulently. You get a receipt, so if it doesn't make it to him, you can put a stop on the money order and get the money back.

Actually I think sending it registered is less safe for the fact you draw extra attention to the envelope.

I have paid for many things on eBay by sending cash in the mail, but of course you need to follow these steps:

1) Place in a sheet of paper and fold it around so the sheet of paper is complete surronding the money.

2) Only send bills, never send coins. (Someone sent me coins in an evelope once and once it got to me, I could easly tell that coins where in there.)

3) Make sure it is addressed correctly and everything like that.

4) Make sure you don't send any more then you are willing to lose. Since sometimes sending it through registered mail with insurance and such could end up costed a lot more then what it is worth. (So for example if the first $20 was lost, then the money you saved by not going registed and such would almost cover the cost of sending again).

Anyway, this is just my opinion - you should do what makes you feel the most secure, but as long as it looks like a normal letter, nothing special about it - it should gain no extra attention and get "lost" on the way.

Fencer :) that is why i said i would send EURO in an envelope...REGISTERED that way it is insured and if you dont get it I get my money back :)
Perfectly safe i think :)

HIT MAN if a person to use up the vac days they have left may make ur 1 day last tell the end of the month too.

ok thanks harley

Probably because its Friday, HIT MAN. Your weekend days will be showing too. On Monday it should be back to normal.

FENCER
I post 1 day games and they come on my sheet with more time on them than that.What is the problem here?

ah! that easy! .. thanks :)

if you goto the main page and look at the top it will show you yesterdays highest mover at the side of that is the link for more .

where did you get that link to amount of yesterday moves ?

i would expect to find it under 'statistics' but its not there

yeah, I see it now... I had only looked for it near the discussion link! *shrug*

There is one near the top of the main page
Right above the brainking info...

pauloaguia: It is on the game page.

Fencer, is there any other link to that board in the site besides the one on your message here? (which will soon get cluttered under all the other posts)

Oh, I just found out one in the DB's page... but can't there be one in the game page as well?

Run around the Pond

have we a pond board yet ?

you continue to play your games , but cant accept anymore untill you get below the 20 games limit , any fellowhips you are in you cant read the boards anymore .

Jason: The list of approved countries.

The games won't disappear but he cannot start new ones until his total number of running games drops below the limit.

ah i didnt realise that ,i presumed it must be world wide .

what happens when the membership expires but the player is involved in more than 20 games or more than 1 tournament? Or if he is signed up for a tournament which is not for pawns? Or in a fellowship?

Jason: Unfortunatelly, the list of countries which are supported in PayPal is very short.

ive used paypal for years never had any problems with them ive used it for allsorts of stuff

The would be interesting to know - since the General Chat board is going to be cleared out at the first of the year, our "post count" stat might also be reduced.

Iranian membership - I know of at least 1 paid member from Iran, maybe they would be able to work something out.

Bernice: Yes, it's not the first time when a player from Iran wants to pay for a membership and no option is available for him. Of course, there is always a possibility to send cash in an envelope [I never saw Iranian money before :-) ] but it's not safe and definitely not recommended.

SLAM :)..now there is an idea...you could do your bit for the site and pay for the nice person :)
I also cant pay using moneybookers as WhisperzQ will attest to...
Im going to be sending euro in envelope next time...registered...it is a damn nuisance and I have noticed that a few are having trouble with moneybookers....I dont trust PayPal, as ive never had any dealings with them :(

tHEy cAn pAy iN bArRELz oF OiL.

Im playing with member Mehdi who is from Iran...
They have asked how to pay for membership as they dont have credit cards etc...can anyone please advise on this. I have mentioned money orders but then i suppose they wouldnt have them either :(

Hows the post counting going Fencer?
I must have past the 10,000 posts now :oD

mWAh.

Slam!

hi Geri39, nice to see you, they have your favorite game here.

good to see you here Anastasia. when you become a member you can join our web/msn2 fellowship. i'll see you at dg.

I believe that Alaska covers about 4 time zones,because of the bearing strait

hOw MaNy N.aMeRiCaN Vs. eURo MeMbErz?
aNy iDEa?

that answer was knockout LOL

LMAO at Bwilds interview :oD

anastasia, you'll see your posted games on your own Main page listed at the bottom of your games list. As the other posters have said, you won't see them on the Waiting games page. I think the games should show there. Then you'd see them and not worry about it. Of course, it'd be set up so you couldn't click them yourself.

or2ak if u r CST like I am at 5 pm it is midnight in Czech time.

Thats right alter cant forget about Guam..."where Americas day begins"... although, isnt Puerto Rico in the same time zone as any other Us time zone?

I have flown back from Guam and arrived in Hawaii before I left Guam :) LOL

Oh, and welcome to BrainKing ;)

anastasia: the Waiting Games page only shows the games you can accept. It may be different for many people depending on the games that are actually waiting. For instance, you won't see any games where the creator has specified that no pawns can play that game. Or those that don't want to play against unrated players. So if now I see 133 games you'll probably see a different number and so will probably many other people...

there not on your waiting games page, as there yours and you cnat accept them yourself,people will be able to take them if they want to though , welcome to the site

you don't see your own games in waiting games :)
