Emne: A poem to share.. please enjoy :-)

NIGHTFALL (August 25th, 2001 - Strand "Zuid" - NL)

I recall
no sweet night as this one
sitting on the beach
and feeling the sultry wind
around my shoulders
through my hair (as if it were your fingers)
O, fair
fair young night
looking inside
your door, what brings thy dream
all for what it seem
and for what I believe
is a sudden feeling of quietness, relieve
and a relaxing sigh
after the rocking waves asked "why"..
and the red of the sun
slowly fades away
towards another day
on the other side of the world.

Emne: Re: 5 wins match, 5 points match, 5 games match .. question :)

Hi Radiant, a 5 win match means that you are the winner after winning 5 matches, in a 5 point match you can also be te winner with 4 wins and 2 draws. In a 5 games match you are the winner if you have 3 points or more

Emne: 5 wins match, 5 points match, 5 games match .. question :)

To anybody who might know the answer: what is the difference?? I keep reading the explanation which is added to these variations, but it still feels like they are all giving the same results.. I am sorry, perhaps I am asking a stupid question, but I am not a native English. Thanks!

Emne: Re: Concerning, move on next game button

linda theres a drop down box under each game when ya move you can go to next game oe to main page or theres a box with someones name in it...click on that youll see all your games that its your turn to move just click on the game you want to go to....ok..

26. Januar 2003, 20:33:27

Emne: Re: Concerning, move on next game button

An easy solution would be click on move and go to main page.Scroll through the games and pick exactly the game or order you wish to play in. Not as quick but works. I do it when my sister plays cause she thinks I'm slow...:(

Got it, ty for the speedy reply :-)

26. Januar 2003, 19:45:04

Emne: Re: Concerning, move on next game button

Nikki: The system sorts your games by the last move date and time when you use Move and Next. It would be a big performance overload if I calculate the real order using vacations, days off etc. like on the main page. I can do it later when we upgrade our hardware ;-)

Emne: Concerning, move on next game button

Fencer Fencer, my dear Fencer; I have a query for you. Ok, after I move on a game, and I click the'go to next game' button, it takes me to a game often halfway down my list. Why? How does the system decide what game is next?
Also, would it be possible, to have an option to make the "next game" the one following the one you just moved on? That way, if one so chooses, the ones with the least time can be moved on as such. Thank you :):)

Please go to the website of the search engine: www.google.com Then type in any title of a song you want to find. Hopefully it will come up with several websites related with that what you are looking for. I haven´t checked it myself, but the google site I find VERY useful for all sorts of search requests :-)

GoodLuck and let me know what you found!

Does a normal game, 5 wins match, 5 points match, 5 games match all give the same amount of points???

Emne: Re: Declining a game

Get over it. To decline is reason enough. It says I decline and it would mean I can't, I won't and the list can go on.If you play I thank you, if you decline, I play someone else.

Emne: Re:

One way of fixing this "no explanation of a decline" is for Fencer to make the message part of the decline compulsory. That way you can be rude, if you wish to and decline by just putting an "X".
I have been declined a few times, with no explanation and assume it is because I'm such a lousy player LOL...Hey!!! who really gives a hoot :)

25. Januar 2003, 02:46:02

With all respect, that's the whole point about a discussion. To take situations, issues etc, and discuss. If you notice, the player involved has not been "discussed" since. Thus, he bares no significance now. But, the "issue", is quite an important one as far as I'm concerned, and needs to be addressed sooner rather than later.

Basically, from experience, it is hard not to hold a grudge against those who ignore, and especially decline without reason, an invite.

Sorry if this offends, but I feel this should be "discussed" whilst this site is still in it's infancy.

Emne: Re: normal behaviour

LMAO Stingeroni!! You expect ANYONE to believe you're rude or obnoxious?!! Nobody invites you cos they can see how many games you have running already!!

As for this invite, give it a rest! The poor guy didn't respond to an invite and its been the topic of conversation for two days!! I've played him and he's very nice polite, it was a mistake! And I for one am sick of hearing about it!! Its happened to a lot of us, me included. Dont worry about it, cancel the invite and dont send another. Simple! :o)

Im looking for american national athem . Is there a chance download it somewhere from internet ?
Im looking for instrumental and singing form :))
Any idea ?
Thanks :)

Stinger

Emne: Re: normal behaviour

If I decline, I decline without a response. I'm a rude, obnoxious SOB, and I ain't about to change for anyone. However, I don't have to decline anymore, cuz NO ONE INVITES ME!!!
I think the point that was originally brought up though is that the invite was sent out, and not accepted OR declined. Nothing! Nada!
My response to that would be that perhaps the person is not up to playing at that particular time, but would like to hang onto the invite to accept a day or 2 later. I have done that at times.

Emne: Re: normal behaviour

courteous but not necessary to give a reason.. A polite No thank you or anything at all. You might not like the person so telling them that would hurt their feelings lol but still courteous to decline with some type of text

24. Januar 2003, 18:29:02

Emne: Re: User Id's

Daf: Yes, I understand. Unlike on IYT, you can change everything except the User ID [the number] on BK. I'll look at the dragon.

24. Januar 2003, 17:56:59

tonyh

Emne: Re: normal behaviour

Ah, yes. There are two points here. First, I reckon no-one MUST reply to an invite. But yes, when declining, it would be courteous to give a reason.

24. Januar 2003, 17:32:39

Emne: Re: normal behaviour

Your missing the point Tonyh. If someone declines an invite, they must have taken the time in the first place to read it. To use your example, you wouldnt answer the phone and just put it straight down again!

24. Januar 2003, 17:29:02

Emne: Re: User Id's

Fencer, I understand why not to change users' id's. the user id in question is "dragon". I want to change my name to this. at IYT one can change their main name, so you could be playing against lots of people with the same name.

what im saying is, it is the user id that is fixed at IYT, but the name is what is displayed and able to be changed. confusing i know!

24. Januar 2003, 15:37:04

I'll try to do something with that.

Emne: Wonderful site

Just a short note to say that this site is wonderful. But it would be even better if there is someway that the colour of the board and pieces can be altered to suit individual players as some of us have visual problems.

Emne: Help me!

I can't see the Black pawns very well on the Brown Squares! It there anyway that I can change the board color or put a bit of white in the black pawns.

Emne: Variants

Hello , Brainking.com is a very good place for playing correpondencechess, -variants and other boardgames.But I have two criticpoints : The variants "Maharadja Chess"(Good for Black) and "Horde Chess"(Good for White) are not balanced.

And I would be glad if I could play some of my favourite variants with the technics of Brainking.com.Some of them are "Januschess", "Omegachess", Great Chess.Is tis possible?
You can see the pictures,the "Presets" and the rules on my page http://schach.kreuzeruwe.de

Emne: Re: normal behaviour

Not too sure about this invite thing. Think about a telephone ringing. Must one answer it? Is it rude not to answer it? similarly with e-mails. It's seems odd that a guy doesn't deal with invites - but surely that is his/her business.

24. Januar 2003, 09:29:24

Emne: Re: User Id's

Which user is it? I must check him first, I cannot change one's name anytime, it is not fair.

24. Januar 2003, 03:41:46

Emne: User Id's

Fencer, can you change the setting's so user's can have the same Id as another. I want to change my name, but somebody has it, and they have not returned to the site for 2 months.

24. Januar 2003, 01:40:55

Emne: Re: normal behaviour

Fair points here, but Elma is right in my eyes, that when one invites, they should at least get a reason for the decline!

24. Januar 2003, 00:20:10

Emne: Re:

To Mikumon: O.K. I forgive you for this one time.
Maybe I am raised "old fashioned" but when I receive an invite I accept or I decline and give a reason why I am declining. For me that is normal behaviour

Emne: Re: A glitch?

If you have her as an enemy she can not send you an invite, but if she has you as an enemy by accident, she could still send you one (i think lol)

Emne: Re: A glitch?

no dont think.. cuz she sent me an invite just after I wrote this and I have her down as a friend but you know she just doesnt show up in my friend list.. i cant figure out why.. thanks for the thought tho.. cant hurt to double check.. but if she sent me a game id have to be on yer pal list correct?
