Snoopy: Same here - I click to make a move, go to another tab with another game site - make almost 8 turns before I seen the BrainKing tab load to go back to make my next move.
pedestrian:(*)The player who finishes at least 4 rated games of one kind (everybody who defines a new game can specify whether the game will be "rated" - the result will be calculated for BKR - or not), earns "provisional BKR" displayed by italic font (e.g. 1870). After finishing 25 rated games of one kind the provisional BKR changes to "established BKR" and is displayed by normal font (e.g. 1853). If you complete more games, your BKR is more accurate because is based on more results.
hagaren: To be counted as one of those 25 games, a game has to be rated. That means it must last at least 2 moves (not 10). If you play a game that only lasts 1 move, it is still counted under 'My profile'-> 'finished games', so unless you keep your own score of those unrated games, you won't know for sure when you'll reach 25.
Snoopy: No, it will not be counted.. For being counted a game must have at least 10 moves ;-) When someone resigns a game after those 10 moves, it will count as number 24.
Resher: ah i think what i meant to say was if i had say played 23 of the 25 games to get a BKR and someone resigned a game would that game be counted has number 24 or not
36 new members so far today....over half havent logged in,most will never play a game,some go straight to the poker tables. watch the player list just a couple times a week. theres no doubt in my mind that the majority of these new members are add ons to existing accts. since pawns are only allowed 20 games...I can see this as a way to give someone more games,but......theres always those that create these add on accts for ulterior motives, that many of us that have been here awhile know. then you have these globs that dont care or even read the stuff they're prompted into moderating,to compound issues. just my 2 cents.
Hi all. Having wandered about the site and seen how everything is moderated here, I'd like to know why the poker tables are not. I was put off playing by the language used there.
As the main mod had requested a certain topic stop, and it didn't, all posts from that point that continued, have been deleted. If it continues any further, the offending people will be banned from posting to this board. Thank you.
thats the last post about named multi nicks on this board .. further posts about multi nicks with names in it will be deleted
posts like this can easily lead to a hunt for the named persons even when they might not be a multi nick .... this board is not for starting a lynch party
when you think someone is using multiple accounts ... report them to the management ...
Artful Dodger: I have given 2 Boards the name . now (as in 'dot') lol and set the read & write access level to Kings only. So Fencer & Liquid can go have fun if they wish, but i will need to approve there posts
MadMonkey: I changed the name of mine to . And then that's all that showed ;) I think I set it to no access or whatever that setting is. You could just change the name to "This board isn't really here."
Tuesday: IMO muti nicks have been going on since the very early days of this site its nothing new but surely bickering about it on the main BK board should not be allowed its surely not giving a good impression to any new comers to the site i find it very off putting
you are right for some dice games. most dice games have limited move options though, far less options than chess .. its also tougher to think ahead and build a plan with dice games .. at least thats beyond my capabilities .. i can 'feel' a few moves ahead with a probability that it might happen with dice games, but with a chess type (or pente or espionage) i can plan a bit more ahead which takes time
so dice games dont require less thinking .. but they certainly require less time per move (for me)
SL-Mark: "Being beaten in a dice game, well it was simply that the die favoured the other player! i.e. luck." "Beaten in a game of skill, however, then the loser can only critique themselves."
Those observations are a good start.
Being beaten in a dice game, one can all too easily conclude that the loss was purely a matter of bad luck, and that there was nothing in one's own play that deserved criticism. Not all dice games are created equal. Have you ever noticed that the frequency of claims of "unfair dice" tends to be inversely proportional to players' strength?
"Dice games require less thinking?" Who would say such a thing? On the contrary (at least in some dice games), in addition to strategic considerations, one must also calculate various probabilities.
MadMonkey: I haven't done it (or tested it) - but believe the BIG BOSS can change the posting "Mode" or privledge level of someone to post on the board and make it almost impossible for anyone to post on that board.
Change the board name to "." so it's hard to see also.
... of course that is also one of the big things Fencer has talked about changing for the new 3.0 Brainking it sounds like...
AbigailII: i mean that i can join more dice games .. because it will take me less time to make my moves ...
suppose i joined 100 dice games and its my turn in all those games .. then it takes me a lot less time to make all my moves before i timeout compared to 100 chess games
so only considering the spare time i have i can easier join 100 dice games than 100 chess games
Hrqls: dice games require less thinking .. therefore its easier to make a quick move in those games and more of those games can be played at once
If your opponent is online, yes. But I think most of the "duration" of a game, the game doesn't move forward because the player whose move it is isn't online, or hasn't selected the game yet. Many games last weeks or months - I doubt most of that time one of the player is actively studying the position. Even if both players spend 24 hours in total actively contemplating their next move, that's less than 10% total time if the game lasts a month.
Herlock Sholmes: dice games require less thinking .. therefore its easier to make a quick move in those games and more of those games can be played at once
personally i always try to judge my time before i join a chess or pente type of game because it can take quite some time to make a move .. but i will almost always joing a dice game
(not at the moment though ... busy time coming up so i have to restrain myself a bit :))
