Fencer: I was trying to use the MoneyBookers with the same credit card I always paid Brain King with.
It would not let me pay because I have a new email address,the same credit card and I did not know my password.
After I tried about 7 times I noticed where you pay with a credit card right below that with PayPal.
Now I know what to do in 6 months from now
SunFire: I would like to remove MoneyBookers completely because I am very dissatisfied with their service but I have no other choice to accept credit cards now. Try PayPal instead.
Princess Alison:I should change my name to nosey!!
I knew Eriisa was online tho and she would know the answer.
*ooops, she may call me sneaky...runs off laughing*
Eriisa:Even pawns or someone that hasn't been online in like months. One that is on there isn't even a member here anymore. I was just nosing around and was curious about it. Thanks for your reply!
Fencer: Perhaps 14 days after the expiry of the membership, all game times for games already started when they were a mamber, revert to, say "1 day".
This way, if a Pawn who has previously supported the site, can still continue the games, but will be under pressure by way of time to finish them, and if they time-out, it will naturally thin the number of games out anyway.
In addition, the user will be able to "choose" games to play every day if moving in them all is not possible - rather than have games forfeited for them.

wellywales: She gets the message... but why offer a draw? Her automatic vacation days are out. If she doesn't move till the next timeout, she will loose the game.
Anyway, it won't automatically release you from that tournament. Not until all the games in that section are finished.
Now, if you PM Fencer and ask him nicelly, maybe he'll get you out of it. (I think you have to finish all the games, though)
wellywales: you know.. I can't remember doing a draw on this site.. if I have it was long ago.. I know if I resign the game it automatically goes to pm.. so.. I am not really sure..
I agree, let them enter as many tourneys of a type as they want. They can still not go over the 50 game limit so it won't be harming that aspect of the membership. If someone only plays backgammon tis a bit silly that they can only play one backgammon tourney.

wellywales: I quite agree and had much to say (3 long messages) about the subject at the end of August. About 30 or so messages from this point.
I think the value for money for Knights is appalling when it comes to tournaments. It's such a stingy deal that you almost might as well be a Pawn.
A word of advice for future tournaments. Check the other players and drop out if you find someone with a mega list of games. They will probably be slow (and if not, why take the risk when there are so many other tourneys and you have a ridiculous limit of only one!). Also choose the ones with shorter time limits as the longer time limits attract slower players so you'd either be dropping more of these on average or be regretting getting stuck in one.
Fencer: I would say as long as it is WAY over the limit. I would hate to see a normal pawn go to a next round of a tournament, and be a few games over their limit and then see a message about possible losing some of their games - since we do not want to "punish" those pawn who go over their limit.
Maybe anything over 50 or 100 for pawns should be reduced to below that level. (And also add to the message that users get when their membership expire that they need to get their games down to "whatever" level or risk losing some games at random - or of course renew their membership)
wellywales: Yes i agree with u there. Maybe one should have the option of opting out of the tournament once they realise they cant win, therefore, freeing up space for one to be able to play in another tournament if one whishes too.
Fencer: I do understand your concerns, but does your proposal include tournaments as well? For example you recently started a team tournament for cubed backgammon with 9 point matches and a long time limit. Something like this could last well past someones membership expiration. Hopefully you can find a way to keep people from abusing the system wiothout hurting those who are just caught up in circumstances beyond their control.
Emne: I think what is being forgotten is though....
We are on about expired memberships....
This shows that the player has supported the site in the past, its not as if they never have.. many a time, there are genuine reasons for their expiration. So try not to act too nasty about the situation
Fencer: You could put a long rambling spiel (I'll write it if you like, lolol) expaining the whys and wherefores of blah, blah, blah... Put it at the top of every page and make it really long so that they have to scroll and scroll to get to their games or the game itself. No loss of games and a very simple cure - Cut down to Pawn levels or Throw me the money!
Fencer: also remove them from fellowships too Filip, it would tidy a lot of them up a bit.. and that will also remove a bunch of their fellowship tourny games also to do another part of the "game culling" you are on about lol
I would like to solve this situation: A player purchases 6 months of Brain Rook membership, starts several thousand games and after the membership expires, he doesn't renew it because he still can play already started 2500 games [for example]. It is not fair to other users.
My proposal is: After 14 days of expiration, 10% of started games (randomly chosen) over the pawn limit will be forfeited every day.
