emmett: guess!!!

Actually I was given my first bishop from an unknown donor. After that I paid for my 12 months rook. That is the only thing apart from a free game for paying that I have been given.

TarantinoFan: Yeah, but almost everybody gets no prize. How many have you won?

emmett: well action points= free prizes. Banner ads= money to pay for free prizes. Unfortunately that is the way the world works.

emmett: If we want action points we have to show the banners.

alanback: I never see them because of my membership. Do you have your settings set so that you can see the banners?

emmett:  Well, I never said they weren't cute

I'm trying to be a goooood boy

alanback: LMBO - I'm such a woman - I didn't even notice

We used to have the sex ads, but I like the college girls banner better.

Do we really need to have ads on the home page advertising the hottest site for college girls?  What's the next step, sex ads?

Tulip: blimmin heck, that makes a change lol

Oceans Apart: yep!!..thanks

ZZZ0100: No, I don't say it's finished. I say that making any changes to it doesn't have the highest priority.

Fencer:
.......
Ok, so you are saying this link...

http://brainking.com/en/webtv/NewGameList

is finished and will be the one us webtv people will be using soon? When will this come into effect? We (I) will use it as long as we can. I hope it will be for a long time. Thanks Fencer.

ZZZ0100: Yes, the URL is correct. But my WebTV emulator shows it right and I don't see any problems with it.
Since I have spent a significant amount of time to create a skin for a device which I don't own and don't like, and I don't want to spend the rest of this month guessing what else should be changed to fit all TVs, you have the following options:

• Use a bigger TV.
• Use a computer instead. Especially if you have sight problems, a quality LCD display is much better for your eyes.
• If you don't want to apply the previous points, you must either start to like it or start to play elsewhere.

Fencer:
.....
No? Is this not correct?

http://brainking.com/en/webtv/NewGameList

This is what was posted in webtv club by Rob & was sent to me (since I am not able to get into club webtv). Has this been updated? Because this one goes off the sides of my 27 inch tv, & is hard to read... And the headers are red.. or red-orange, or whatever you want to call it, anyway it is very bright... And the person that sent it to me doesn't like it at all, she says she can hardly read it because she can not see very well, and it is very red, & she said she has a big screen tv, & it goes off the sides of her tv also, she told me. I don't want to make any more problems for this lady than she already has, I am just telling you what she told me.
........

ZZZ0100: I don't think you have seen what you were supposed to.

rod03801:
.....
I have seen the new "skin" as you put it & the webbies I hang out with don't like it..... too hard to see & read..... Its too hard for the peeps with sight problems to see.......and it is too RED!!!! ..... not to mention it goes off the sides of the screen..... in other words, it needs work... a lot of it......

gogul: First day of Spring is the 21st of March!!!

TarantinoFan: lol. Just been thinking about

gogul: HUH!

gogul: Lol, like summer over winter :)

"Snoopy": Winter times out soon!!!!

Milioi: same here!!!!

Andersp: I think that it can be the reason, because we (in the Czech republic) change winter-summer time on 25th March.

RagingSeas: One idea is that Brain King hasnt changed to Daylight Saving Time.  8.09 here but BKs clock says 7.09 

ZZZ0100: Not all rumors are necessarily true. The only potential problem was the "new look" not working with webtv. Fencer has been working on a webtv-friendly "skin" for the new look so that it will still be viewable by webtv users. So, don't be so negative!

I have some games that should have timed out an hour ago...or at least used the opponents vacation time. Any idea what causes it to do that?

Pioneer54: I've also noticed that games that have just started are sitting on move 0 instead of move 1

Oceans Apart:
...
I'm not sure you (or most people) even know what I am referring to when I say 0.5% people.... from what I have been hearing BK is changing..... & it will lock us 0.5%ers (aka webtv/msntv people) out. thats what I have been hearing from people that are ALLOWED in the webtv club discussion board (which I am not allowed into... because I am not a paying BK member)

Why are all the move numbers lagging in each game for the first player? For instance, if it says you're on move 16, you are actually on move 17.

ZZZ0100: Dont be daft, your not getting kicked out of BK at all

And what about us 0.5% of us that can't use a personal smiley? Should we just find another place to play? I think we are getting kicked out of BK anyway......

BIG BAD WOLF: Of course each smiley needs to be approved before being uploaded.

LOL. Have you seen some of the smilies available???

"Snoopy": I like the idea of creating some sort of smiley filter so we don't have to look through 400 smileys when I wouldn't use 50% of them.

Speaking of that - Fencer, is there a way that you can see how much each smiley is used? That is, is there a way to see if certain smileys have not been used much if any during the past 30/60 days? I ask since I'm sure there are some that could be removed and most users would not even know what is missing.

Also a suggestion - would be cool if a user could upload 5 personal smileys that only that person could use. For example I could upload Good Game smiley - http://coan.net/bk-smile/2/very-favorite/goodgame.gif - where only I could use it. (Of course each smiley needs to be approved before being uploaded - like user icons) (and of course limit it to a very small size)

my favourite smilie from messenger

krybulon: Lets go back to your original post...

what are you talking about all the time ? Why do we need all those whistles, fountains and special features for our games ? It takes so much Fencer's creative energy which could be used for some other stuff ...

All we can do is submit suggestions. Fencer decides what he is going to do. My suggestions don't take ANY of his energy (resources?). He can (and often does) ignore them. well, maybe not ignore, but he decided whether he thinks a suggestion will benefit the MAJORITY of the members.

I never use these brains, ponds, stairs, templates ... for what ? It's like having 900 TV channels while you need only 3 or 4 ...

so...everyone else should give up the 896/897 channels that they like and only watch the 3 or 4 that you like? Or should they not even be offered because you don't like them?

With all the respect .. please stop it.

How respectful is it to ask everyone to quit submitting suggestions because YOU are happy with the way BK is? Or only submit suggestions for games because YOU don't want to use certain features?

With all respect to you...feel free to NOT make any suggestions. But until you own BK, what gives you the right to tell everyone else what to do?

ZZZ0100:

I Finally got quoted.... thats a first for me, lol

Thank you thank you thank you :)

ZZZ0100:

.......
ok, first timer here.........

Not everyone that comes to these discussion boards have to leave their thouhts behind, like some, some people like to cover up their intelligence... or lack of it sometimes. I have come here several times but have never put anything in writing, does that mean that I don't use it? Or that I don't even exist at BK? I don't think so. & I'm sure there are others that read these & will agree with me. Some people say more is better...... The point is.... it's here, use it if you want to use it... & if you don't want to use it... IGNORE IT!!! ...... Is that simple enough for all of you or does someone need to draw you a color picture? I'm sorry if I offended some of you "girls" (I won't use the word I want to use) but whats the point of all this bickering about something that you can't control.... it is going to change whether you want it to or not, Fencer & his friends are the ones that make the decisions as to what to add & what not to add, and from what I have seen, he likes adding a lot, and as far as I am concerned, its ok, even though I can't or won't use everything he adds...... because I am one of the "0.5%" ..... AND a non-paying member at present. (some of you know what the "0.5%" refers to).

And what is wrong with the "virtual empire"? Seems to me he already has it here in his sites now since his sites are the biggest game related sites that I know of (not biggest in members but in playable games & discussion boards, etc). So whats wrong with the lights, bells and whistles... the new things people are asking to add.... nothing that I can see, if it can be put into a workable computer program, and if it doesn't slow the site down any more than it already is for us "0.5%" ...... I say go for it...... Sorry this is so long

Soooooooooo Longggggggg..... byebye

krybulon: I look upon it as fun, if ya dont like fun, then dont stay here
