How would it be changed?

noholdbarred: It is planned for the new version.
Uil: Forever. But it is also a subject to change.

do ratings last for ever or are they only based on the games played in the last 12 months?

I am talking about completed games list... to group games by player or review recent

If you mean on the main active game list, I can still do that.. I switch back and forth all the time... I like it better in alphabetical order of game name, but switch to being ordered by "time left", frequently to make sure I move on games low on time.

Has there been a change in functionality with the new code?
I do not seem to be able to select column for sorting order of played games. I am sure I used to be able to put them in date order...

Glad to hear that :-)

seems to be running extreemly well. I've not had any trouble logging in for so long I can't remember! Now I'll have to start a few more games. Great improvement! :)

Hi. Let me add: Very well done. Thank you for your work.

Yes, edit/delete buttons have been temporarily removed for pawns.

Hi.

Sure, bwild, just send them to in a message. Don't forget to say if your name should be added to the question or not. Some people prefer to stay anonymous. You can see how its done from CaoZ & Fencer's interviews :o)

Have pawns had the edit option removed then? I still have the options :o)

Wheres the edit button gone? I meant to spell that checkmate not cheque mate LOL

In Cheque Mate LMAO

cool...thx:)

I have webtv bwild and thanks to BBW I saw it.Click on interview with CaoZ and then options and reload.Viola

has anyone using webtv been able to read the interview with CaoZ KM?

This is good enough for me. Thanks Fencer for addressing as much as you are able at this time. Fencer has always done the right thing and we've had questions in the past and in the end were satisfied.

It stands for Killing Machine,which is a fellowship (actually a group of fellowships) on BK. We enjoy good games,fellowship and a good challenge on the game board. :-)

Good players, and good sports.

what does the KM mean????

I second that Ernie KM....The world could use more people like CaoZ KM! :-)

Yes long live CaoZ KM!!!

Thanks for the insight into your life Carlos(Caoz KM) and long may a great honest man be a part of this site :o)

Fencer: Will your "old" interview be archived somewhere so players (who may not be here yet) can get a chance to view some of the "older" interviews?

[it might already be there, i have not looked that hard yet]

Thanks for the interview, very interesting! :o)

That did it BBW thanks.Good job as always harley and thanks CaoZ for participating

Another super interview harley :O)

LindaJ - The link worked for me. Once you get to that page, try to hit Refresh or Reload of the page and see it that will bring up the "new" interview.

Harley that link took me to the Fencer interview.

Thats a pretty definate answer to me

pyloric valve: Everybody who wants to spend money for that is authorized to do that. If somebody gives you $50 and you agree to turn your account to Brain Pawn, it is your choice. Until anything else is announced at Server News, it has nothing to do with me.

Is Gothic authorized to give refunds on our memberships?

phewwww...I almost sent in 600.00 !! LOL:)

... I am trying to write an easy answer for everyone:

1) There are no threats. It's nonsense. There is one general rule - all significant changes are always announced at Server News, nothing else can be taken as an official statement of BrainKing staff.
2) Since there is more involved than many people know and most of these "secret" issues are very personal and private, I will not reveal them until the proper time comes.
3) This is mostly a site to play games. Nobody is limited in that, whatever is written on any board. The majority of BrainKing users simply play games and don't argue on discussion boards. And they are happy, aren't they?

Please take it as my final answer and don't ask me for more. When more public info is available, I will post it at Server News.

I do want to add..

and not to piss anyone off..
but, this well known person that I will not name.. is a true gentleman in a one on one game..

And, I just got some crappy news.. so I am venting quite a bit today..

Another problem here.. is the Web Owner is NOT commenting on anything.. and sits back and lets that of a certain person continue to harrass others..

I think Fencer should either come clean and let the players here know a bit more than his statements of .. I am doing what is best for the site.. Yet.. he allows this other being to continually try to get control.. WHY can't fencer just come out and say.. YEs.. I am considering partnership with these individuals.. and if that is a problem.. tough luck!!.. But, he doesn't..

If for instance I was the web master here.. and had someone (or a group) wanting to help contribute to my site.. who offered me x amounts of dollars.. I would at least be honest to those who had conflicts.. instead of constantly brushing them aside.. Come on now!! So yes.. they want an honest and flame free site.. a site that everyone gets along.. a site that everyone agrees.. and all that hunkie dorie stuff.. but, IT is Impossible to please everyone.. and by eluding his paying members.. not only are peeps starting to loose respect.. they are also seeing.. that he too could be in the same classification as this other mentioned person.. He is doing no better than what he Banned Dano from doing..

and that is My opinion.. which in America.. I am entitled to having!

i played on IYT for a while and one thing i noticed was there were more numerous chat sites. for example, there were two general chat sites - one devoted to more-or-less normal posts and the other a sort of weird free-fire zone.
a problem here may be that this site, which is intended for a specific topic, has become a sort of catch-all.

I have learned you can't please EVERYONE!!..

And as general knowledge... no company, or gamesite will ever be free of those who do cheat.. or lie.. or are dishonest in anyway..

Think about it peeps.. there will always be flaming.. there will always be those who offend Someone.. what Fencer will need to decide is if he allows ANYONE to monopolize this site, to control others actions or personalities.. he will end up loosing X amount of current players.. as well as future ones..

His reputation for remaining silent.. is not only angering those who have paid.. but, is also making those at pawn level more leary about supporting this site.. and one thing I know for sure.. Is Word of Mouth Goes A LONG way..

What Fencer should be doing instead of playing turns on his games.. is to do investigating himself.. for instance.. contacting other WebMasters.. such as Pat Chu of IYT and the Owners of Gold Token.. But, not as a means to discredit or get demeaning or degrading gossip.. but, for marketing purposes.. such as the ratio of site violators compared to the honest and sincere..

Pat Chu.. although, has similar problems with his site.. has at least NEVER had this type of harrassment .. and I am not naming any names here.. but, just offering a suggestion..

May I also include.. that all this bickering on these boards.. is doing NO good.. all it is doing is creating more flames.. and more attitudes..

I agree with many who are concerned with Gothic's threats and Fencer's silence. Fencer is really passing the buck here. A shame since this is his sight and he has many loyal customers. If he booted Gothic he'd be an instant hero. If he allows Gothic to boot paying members with legitimate complaints, then he has taken a step backwards. If he continues to remain silent and not address an issue which concerns us all (except in vague terms with tons of sliding room that appears less than fully honest to his customers) then it hurts him in the long run.

Of course, since Fencer won't deny it, maybe Gothic has a point. He may be willing to sacrifice current dissatisfied customers in order to do what he considers "the best for Brainking", ban the issue from further discussion, wipe the memory banks so to speak, and repackage BK for the customer of the future.

What we are asking, perhaps, is that Fencer be a human being as well as a businessman. Although even a pure businessman ought to be wiser than this. My honest belief is that business with Trice can only end in failure for Fencer, based on Trice's record outside of BK and personal dealings with him here.

I hope Fencer is at least still on the fence enough to come to his senses. And if and when he does, he ought to be hailed as the hero he is. Few of us have been in his shoes and have little idea how tempting Gothic's offer might be. Few of us know his personal circumstances.

It is NEVER easy to stand for what is right and do right, when one perceives the personal cost in doing so may be especially great. My opinion: Fencer is a good man in a bind. But his character is being forged as we speak. If he backs out of the Gothic deal, he'll be my hero for sure.

Harley does the best she can with what she is given and here she is not given a lot other than a hard time.

BK rocks, BK rules

Not everyone can/will say that or agree, but that is life and the way it works right?
