rabbitoid: I know I was being polite, I have a ludo game that is now going on 6 years at the speed its going it will be 2016 before it ends

norrsken: Welcome to the turtle victim club
I think 10 years is highly optimistic
beach: a professional turtle won't usually time out. He'll just play his moves at the last possible second.

norrsken:   you have to be careful with those 21p move games,  I play alot of games and find there are lots of people that take along time (and within the time limit) to make there moves which they are entitled, only benefit is that by mid march they start to time out in the games..  You are better off sticking max to the 5 game matches and if you like to play fast stick to games that are 3 days or less,   There are many people here who play large quantities of games and they play fast and they do not time out.  Many of us with the higher paid memberships are here because we like the unlimited amount of games and  we play all our games daily

I am involved in a backgammon tournament with 21 p matches. After 8 weeks one of the matches has reached 7 completed moves. With more than 20 moves per game and roughly 20 games per match the tournament will last for maybe 10 years with the response times one of the participants use. He is involved in more than 3000 games. I think there should be a limit so you can't have so many games going on. Even if you are on the highest membership level. I am 64 and maybe I will have to make "The final resignation" before this match is over.

thisbeme: Sat/Sun is calculated according to the server's time zone, which is eastern europe. So the BK weekend is over at Sun 6 pm EST, or in PT even at Sun 3 pm. It starts already early on the other hand, though.

thisbeme: Perhaps because now, in your country, you are on Monday ?

Chess (thisbeme vs. Tibs)

Logik (sacha vs. thisbeme)

Saturday sunday is my weekend I should not be timing out while it is still sunday in "standard vacation" games.

Gabriel Almeida: Agreed.

coan.net: Checkers if you can find a team.

anti reversi or behemoth chess? :)

Gabriel Almeida: I can try to get some new team tournaments set up this weekend - any suggestions on games? I usually try to mix it up with popular are not-popular games, but always open to suggestions.

Gabriel Almeida: Tiger Checker Club challenges any team in the world!

Hi people (Fencer, Coan, Tanein), how about more team tournaments? And any kind of action to "vote" games and/or type of tournament?

Thanks Fencer, could be.

pattypoo: I've just logged in your account, opened some games, visited discussions, viewed a couple of other pages. No problems at all. Perhaps it is a WebTV issue?

I'm still having trouble with the white pages.

Fencer: works fine for me now,too.

Fencer: It's okay now thanks.

crosseyed: What about now?

crosseyed: yeh i'm having the same problem

crosseyed: same here,hun

I am unable to get in to any fellowships today. I get a white blank pages and have to either go out of the site or back click. Is anyone else having the same problem?

Aganju:

congratulations :)

furbster: I like the idea allowing Pawn members playing ponds, so then there are more players playing. As the current rules state that Pawn members always use the last known move this should be fixed.

To get this achievement!

http://brainking.com/en/Achievements?p=1&aid=141

It would be quite cool if pawns were allowed to play in ponds, and there would be more competition too! :o)

Any thoughts?

Gabriel Almeida: Maybe we should add it to the achievements.

rabbitoid: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssss! I've been flirted too! Thank you for your desire, Anita! :)

Aganju: With great results, particularly in line games and chess. Congrats, Aganju!

After exactly 190 days of playing BK, I just won my 1000th game (having accumulated 631 losses in the same period, which was the easier part)
:-)

Here comes BrainKings official revolution. It starts gentle and will end sweet.

Aganju: If you are beeing flirted for more than 5 people, you receive an achievment...

Gabriel Almeida: I hope not (BK becoming a meeting site).
Looks like there are people out there that are dumb enough to answer these ads (or they would have given up on it).
Maybe we should have a BKR rating for this too? If you fall for it, 'you lose the game' and rating points; if you can control yourself to ignore it, you 'win' and go up?

rabbitoid:  LOL.. I see you had a message from redrose1 as well.. I got  a  hi from them as well..

rabbitoid: I received the very same message on my wall last night within minutes of when they joined the site.

Bwild: don't say this untll you lost against rabbitoid. his pokerface iron now.

rabbitoid: I got her note too... Hope her picture arrives soon... ;-)

rabbitoid: lol..your a popular guy!

All my life I've been waiting for you
Of course I'll write to you right away, not forgetting to add my BK, GT and facebook passwords, and adding visa numbers as an afterthought

(for those of you who don't know what I'm raving about, have a peek at my wall)

don't know why, fencer is like a tax collecter. but if one does some own black economy, i'm not telling. if we only could play for cash of a sort.

paypal is not sellpal. company is fraudulent to sellers except you sell rooks.

Thad: I'm still froze out...same thing..was using ebay

Hrqls: Ha, ha, hardly. I was doing a lot of eBay sales at the time.

Thad: wow! that just mean you are rich :)

I had trouble with PayPal. The froze my account and accused me of laundering money. Ha! I've seen people do it in movies but wouldn't have the slightest idea how to do it in real life. I hate PayPal!

I think with paypal it's a case of 99.9999% of the time there are no problems, but with any unlocal system (as Fencer has experienced) they can get it wrong. And with a lot of companies (and as witnessed owner/directors/politicians) they don't like admitting they've got it wrong.

Thom27: I have just looked it up Never heard of it before. It seems a sort of cross between Chess & Jungle (with some Breakthrough in as well lol) from what i have read. I know Fencer has many games on his list that have been asked for, and i guess its a case of when he gets time, and which ones he chooses.

I must say though, this game 'Arimaa' does look fun, interesting and hard

I suggest implementing Arimaa. Till September is plenty of time to cope with the complexity of this game.

Edit: link to Arimaa

I suggest increasing all ratings by 10 points.
