Hi Fencer, how long are unused usernames kept for?
I want to change my name to harley (easier for people to say!!), but someone has signed up using that name already :o(
Thing is, they joined December 19th, and haven't been back since, no games in progress or anything. It seems to be a 'stale' name and I wondered if you ever delete them so somebody else can use them? And what kind of time this would be?
juste pour rire
old backgammoners never die,they just get blotted out.
blondes like backgammon because it has a bar & they get hit on.
(just kidding,I'm no chauvinist.most of the blondes here are sharp,sly.anyone who has ever played backgammon against them here knows this)
My opponent ran out of time in a tournament game. It surprised me that it didn't change my rating. I couldn't find anything the reason for it on FAQ. We performed 12 moves.
Is there going to be any fellowship tournaments taking place on here ?
If so maybe we should concider creating an award system to show what teams have won !! Or has this been discussed already ???
Fencer: have u had a chance to look at this crowded backgammon game yet (note 22nd Feb 1.34). It keeps showing as my next game to move in, but until the problem is fixed i dont know if u want it left so you can see the problem or shall i just delete it. Thanks :-)
MadMonkey, I think that could be the bug. When did you start the game? I had a game going we had to call a draw because loads of pieces disappeared, but only on line 19!
It might be worth starting again, we did after the bug was fixed and its working fine (up to now!).
Fencer, could you have a look at our Crowded Backgammon game against alley oop. Between moves 20 & 21 nearly all the pieces have just vanished LOL... :-)
Fencer, I don't get these ratings. I know how they work, but can't understand how they're calculated. For example, I won a game against an opponent with a rating of 2545, whilst mine was 2094. When the ratings adjusted, they lost around 100 points, yet I only gained 20. Please can you explain, thanx.
hi fencer..ty again for creating my idea for crowded backgammon..frankly,I'm blown away.had another idea for an original variation.undecided as to whether it was playable,we tried it on a real board.it was fun,really interesting strategy.ok,so here's the idea.reverse backgammon(or maybe othello backgammon).board is set up like original backgammon.when you hit a blot,its color is converted to the color of the opposing player.we tried playing it 2 ways from this point :
1-the blot changes color then remains were it is.
2-the blot changes color and is sent to the bar to start.
both work,could be 2 variations.
we found that this is a quick win if one player is much better than his opponent.or it can be a struggle for 2 good players.what do you think?

Thanks Liquid!! that did the trick! I deleted the old bookmark, shut down IE, came back in to Brainking.com and bookmarked it again!
Now its back! Thankyou! You are so smart!
When I bookmarked the brainking site a while ago I noticed a neat icon in front of the bookmark that was the brainking logo.. today I notice its gone and back to a regular IE icon.. I wonder if its just me or an IE update removed it or anyone else had it an now its missing?.... Just a minor lil question no need for a prompt reply as its just a curiosity..
