beach: It’s odd. You have amazing powers.

beach: Oh ! This never happened to me. I don't know how to help you.
Can you go to the settings ?

beach: No problems for me.

BadBoy7: Ah yes, I didn't think about this situation. You should wear a helmet just in case...

Smiler.: I've already one, but it's not practical to take it with me on the broom.

Aganju: I've an iPad. I've tried and I could even choose “select all” for the complete text, and it works !
I didn't know I had this feature on my tablet. Now I'll use it.
Thank you very much for this very practical information.

rod03801: I didn’t know. Thank you for this information.
But I can't do it because I use a tablet so I've no mouse.
If you have an idea for tablets, I'm interested.

Mousetrap: Your french is well translated, but it's odd because I would say it differently (for the conjugation of the verb). It's funny.

Bernice: Oh yes, I know. I admit that I teased you a little.
It's the bulgarian language. Bulgarian is written with the cyrillic alphabet, which isn't common for us.

BadBoy7:
Just a humorous interlude and I wanted to speak french at least once.
And I also thought that everyone would find a translator on the net for this short french sentence.

Bernice: Tout le monde ne parle pas l’anglais.

beach: No, all is ok for me.

Aganju: It showed GMT London Lisboa. I modified it like you said to GMT+1.
I understand now where the time difference came from. Thank you !

I find all these words exchanged a little terrible sometimes.
I think that the remark about the time difference is very relevant and it's worth to think about.
For example, for me who lives in France, I've exactly the same time as the Czech Republic, but on Brainking there's always at least 1 hour difference. I specify that we both use summer time and winter time.
So why 1 hour difference ?

Me, I prefer stop the game and lose rather than play with someone unpleasant.
I didn't know we could block someone during a game. It's useful to know that.

BadBoy7: I know the Greek alphabet, it's already a lot !

Bernice: French also speak english.

Aganju: Yes, I totally agree.
I think it's the same for all the countries, time is necessary to discover everything.
Myself, I don't know all the beautiful places in France.
I'm glad you enjoyed your trip here.

Bernice: French isn’t an easy language.
There are many tourists in Paris. This city is interesting for monuments, museums, and art in general. And also if you want to go to Disneyland near Paris.
If you go there, taste the « baguette », a typical french bread.
Otherwise, in my opinion, we eat better in the regions of France where the culinary traditions stay.

Smiler.:

Bernice: Depending on the region, food and drink is different. For example, I don't like food from the east of France, because they cook with a lot of cheese. In the southwest where I live, it's more about seafood because we're close to the ocean. Depending on what you like, you have to choose where to go. Very few Australians visit France.

Aganju: Oh yes, it’s so true. Especially in the South.

Smiler.: Yes, but you have to be resistant to absorb all this. (I’m rather the one on the right).

Bernice: In my country, we can wish a happy new year until the 15 of January.
And from the 1st Sunday of January, we eat the king cake (epiphany cake) until the end of January.
In short, we eat and drink the whole month of January.

Happy new year.

Bernice: I give you an example :
You got 6 dice with the value 1,
you got 6 dice with the value 2,
you got 6 dice with the value 3,
you got 6 dice with the value 4,
you got 6 dice with the value 5,
you got 6 dice with the value 6,
You got all the values so you got this achievement.
For example : before the achievement, you didn't get 6 dice with the value 3, but you certainly got 6 dice several times with the value 6.
Do you understand now ?

Bernice: You got this achievement because you made 6 dice with all the possible values.
I think that you didn't succeed in doing all the different values of the dice before.

Smiler.: Me ? Do you believe ?

If I had to choose, I prefer to share the cakes than the opinions.

seldom: No, I didn't experience war, but my parents and grandparents lived during war and told me about it. My father was 20 years old during the 2nd World War and my grandfather was about 40 years old. I'm French and France was occupied by the Germans who committed acts of barbarism as in any war. They killed members of my family.
I give you an example : do you know Oradour-sur-Glane in France ? I hope you'll never visit this village. It remained exactly as the Germans left it, in homage to the victims. An entire village was massacred : the men were shot by the Germans and the women and children were locked up in the church and then burned alive. My maternal grandparents lived next to this village. Members of my family died there. No, I didn't experience war but my mother told me how she experienced it and I've understood very well the horror of this event.
Question : Today, should I ask Fencer to ban all players of German nationality because German soldiers killed members of my family during the 2nd world war ?

Marshmud: I'm really sorry if I shocked you, it wasn't my intent and I apologize for this.
On my side, I was shocked when you said that every Russian citizen is responsible for the death in Ukraine, and that you've kicked them all out of your club, it's why I replied.
Of course, you can comment (I never said you couldn't) even if you don't agree. It's interesting to read opinion and arguments of everyone.

Marshmud: I keep saying that Russian Brainking players aren't responsible about the war in Ukraine. Why to ban them ? If tomorrow the government of my country attacks the USA, will you banish me from your f/s, although I'm against war ? If tomorrow my country attacks another country and put people who complain about it in prison or tortures them, I'll say nothing because I'll be afraid for myself and my family and I'll think first to them. I suppose it's the same for the Russian population. It's easy to say that you have to demonstrate against a repressive regime when you're sitting in your chair in the safety of your home. 3 years ago, in France, there were very violent demonstrations (yellow vests), not very far from my home (less than 1 km). When you see the tear gas fumes and you smell the mustard which stings your eyes and throat very strongly and that the demonstrators break and burn everything on their way, I guarantee that you're scared. Don't judge too quickly, it's not so simple. And also look at the foreign policy of your country which is also friendly to countries with totalitarian regimes like Saudi Arabia for example : there, before 2018, being a woman driving a car was considered a crime. Did you, as American, denounce this or do something about it ? while the Usa is friend with Saudi Arabia ? As I say, the action of a citizen is limited in front of a powerful government.

Geomomo: I think the russian population doesn't want people killed. People don't always agree with the decisions of their leaders, but they have to deal with. For me, there's no benefit to ban a russian player from playing here on Brainking. This is useless.

Aganju: Thank you for the link, it works. I've no access in any other way.

Aganju: No, I never tried this code because I've no code on my profile. Instead it says " no adjusted ".

Tuesday: I don't find where it is, what is this rectangular section you mention ? On which mode - castle ? simple ? - I must be ?

Happy new year to everyone.

MadMonkey: Thank you for the explanations.

MadMonkey: I’m interested in playing in this tournament and I would like to join a team. So I choose my team, is that it ? But the captain of the team must accept that I play, is that it ? Not sure if I understood correctly.

MadMonkey: Thank you to Marshmud.

I thank everyone who offers a prize for a tournament.
But me, I won’t join a tournament without vacation, as I go on holidays at least once in a year, and I don't play on Brainking during holidays (often no internet or else no time). If I join a tournament without vacation, then I’m sure to lose games at some point.
I think it makes more sense to reduce the time : 1 day for one move rather than 3 days, for example.
But this is just my opinion and anyway thank you to those who offer a prize whatever their choice of time.

Aganju: You’re totally right. This exists in France.

Carnie: I've never seen this before.

Me, to have no problem on the net, I pay with a virtual card. It’s a card valid for only one transaction and I choose the amount I want.
Happy New Year everyone.

Bobes: You’re right. I can do it but I can sort games only by game type or opponent. To get this, you have to go the settings, on the page « General » then to check «  Show game filter on the main page ».

HappyNewYear:): Congratulations !
I don’t know if there’s an achievement for this on Brainking, in any case it would be deserved.

Bernice: She offered her subscription to someone and she left, that's all. For me, there’s nothing else to add.

Here’s my opinion about team tournaments and certainly my message rather replies to the questions of Kookaburra. On my profile, I wrote that team tournaments are my favorite, so I’m ok to join any team that needs a player for a team tournament. However, I must admit that for some games, it can be very frustrating to play in a tournament where the teams aren’t balanced. For example, a team with players with a bkr about 1900-2000 playing with a team with players with a bkr about 1200-1300. The game isn’t interesting : the strong player gets bored, the weak player is disappointed because he has no chance to win. That's why, I usually join the teams on the most popular games, because on these games, the bkr are in the average. And, of course, I’ve my preferences, unfortunately, not the games of checkers, but if a player is missing in a team, so as to join a tournament, tell me, I’ll join the team if it can help.
