Subject: exchange rate
I know the exchange rate between the Euro and the US dollar varies daily. However just curious what the current and average exchange rate is. I am year long brain knight so I paid 18 USD. WIth the new Euro measurement for paying what does cost me in USD to renew the membership. I know the new exchange does not go into effect until March 1.

Rod: First I have to finish new BrainKing with no new features. Then, when it's proven to be stable, I can work on games etc.

If a doubling cube is ever added, the resign needs to be for the whole match, though.
Is the doubling cube coming with the new brainking, Fencer? or the often debated correction to follow the generally accepted rules of Backgammon? (being forced to always play both dice if it is possible)

22. January 2004, 15:30:19
Fencer 
It's always a resign of the game.

I knew that BrainKing would be unavailable yesterday.... since I had a lot of free time, and access to a very fast internet connection which would have given me a chance to play many games, I knew that the game gods would be against me!

Anyway, true question below. Someone asked me in private message, and I'm not sure of the answer. Please post here and I'll make sure the person gets the answer!
= = = = = = =
I'm new at BK and wanna ask you about the resign-rule in backgammon on this site.

If I resign a game in 3-win match - is the resign for the match or the game?

I know it from itsyourturn that the resign is a resign for the complete match.

Brian it was from 00:30 till 07:30 for me, it was murder on a nightshift with no BK :'o(
I guess the database server didnt want to put up with me for another one LMAO
Thanks Filip :o)

I found brain king to be unaccessable last night. I logged on after work about 8pm and couldnt get in the site. I kept trying off and on until about 10:30pm and then gave up. The times are central USA times.

What happened in the night Filip? Is all ok now.
I just played a game that I won in the evening, and it was lots of moves from the end again LOL

Get your questions in to me for this high moving, chatty lady!! Let me know if I can use your name on the question, and don't be shy, if she doesn't like it, she doesn't have to answer it!

Bernice, thats only possible if someone has access to your account - I very much doubt thats the case for you so I suggest you contact the tournament organiser and ask if they have changed the name.

Lythande, I don't think there have been any changes in anti-checkers. I never use other windows when I'm playing so I'm not quite sure what you mean. But thats more likely than a change in rules!

21. January 2004, 08:17:59
Lythande 
Hmmm... Was there a change in anti-checkers? I've never noticed the game make the next players jumps for them before. A setting I've missed perhaps? Or does it still say 'finish move by...' when you try to move in a game that was played in another window?

21. January 2004, 05:42:40

Subject: Q?
can someone else sign you up for a tournament? I seem to have gotten myself into a tourney that I would NEVER have joined...unless the name was changed after I signed up :(

I was once again the top moving brain knight on the 19th with 262 moves. I even worked over 8 hours that day. LOL. Tell me that I have no life. LOL

I notice Steve R is there a lot lately as the top player. I was once. Those who are there consistantly, go outside and do some shopping, go to work, etc. The internet will be there when you get back home. ;o). LOL

There's nothing about active players at the top of my main page(?)

Fencer 
Jason: I am sorry but it would be extremely hard to do. The current database [designed two years ago] is not prepared for such queries.

20. January 2004, 13:05:46
Jason 
fencer i know that your busy but could you do a list of the top ten (most moves made in total , not a day) like you did for whispers but the top ten out of all the people here ?

20. January 2004, 12:44:20
Fencer 
Jason: It means that at the moment it was 18,278 but while I was typing, Whisperz could make more moves :-)

20. January 2004, 12:40:09
Jason 
Whisperz: 18278 ... 9 ... 80 ... 81 ok maybe im thick but how many moves is that ?
edit maybe its 18,281 . that sounds alot of moves

wonder how many i have done ??

20. January 2004, 12:14:39

I should stop talking about it ;-)

20. January 2004, 12:09:01

Caissus: It requires new database structure on BK 2.0 where such statistics can be done in milliseconds. The current one is too complicated.

..it would be interesting too,how many moves all players have made since the beginning of "Brainking" :)

Thanks Fencer ... that's a lot of moves but only about 3 weeks for SteveRRRRR and the like :)

Sorry Whisperz, i thought that is what you meant. It would be interesting to know how many moves we have made since we joined though.

Subject: Re:
MM, I had noticed that number and I am aware of where the (more ...) leads, but what I meant was my TOTAL moves ... this is, from when I first logged on :)

20. January 2004, 11:19:53
MadMonkey 
You can find you total for the day Whisperz at the top of the main page, where it says:
Yesterday's most active player: Steve R (779 moves) (more ...)
If you click on the more link is will show you where you are in the list & how many you have made.

20. January 2004, 11:14:33
WhisperzQ 
I'd be interedsted to know the total number of moves I had made ... not all the time, just out of interest :)

MadMonkey 
Subject: Re: How Many Moves in a Day
I thought along the same line as LongJohn a while ago, i think i mentioned it on the Feature Request board. If your number of moves is a running total stored in the database (or even one subtracted from the other), that it could be displayed somwhere, maybe beside your number of moves from the previous day. That way you could see how many moves everyone way making during the day, and you know the sort of competitions people have round here LOL
Who can make the most LOL ? :o)

20. January 2004, 07:14:09
Fencer 
BBW: I don't want to make wrong predictions. Several weeks.
LongJohn: Yes, you must wait for the next day. Or ask me to find it in the database ;-)

Hi Bernice :o)

I had a look at the tourney games and they've all made a move today. It seems they are just moving more slowly than the other players. It happens :o) As long as they move in the time allowed they won't time out, and the tournament will stay as 'running'. It shouldn't be long before they're done, but there doesn't seem to be any problem with the tourney that I can see.

Subject: Harley
I have checked the 2 tournaments and this is the result......

in the 5 in Line Zetes and Antje have an outstanding game....if they could finish that the 5 in line would be over.

as for the battleboats....Molly v Whikki, and Whikki v goodfoods is still outstanding...again if those could be finished ....I play with Molly every day so I cannot understand it being outstanding...all these games hould have well and truly timed out by now....perhaps Fencer could look into it.

The tourneys are called...Five up, five down, five across.......and Bernice's best battleboats bruhaha.....
thanks so much :)

Fencer - Don't mean to "bug" you about it, but about how close is the new version of BrainKing?

The only thing I worry about not letting pawn post is if they do have a problem, they will have no place to go and ask (other then private message - which they may not know to use).

19. January 2004, 14:00:50
Fencer 
When the new version of BrainKing is done and released.

19. January 2004, 13:53:58
Backoff 
A few of the pawns have have games with have been asking about when they can post again. Any time frame on that?

19. January 2004, 08:57:14
harley 
Are there still ongoing games in these tournaments, Bernice? If there are than it will show as being a running tournament until a winner is declared.

19. January 2004, 07:03:44
Bernice 
according to my ":tournaments running" list i have a five in line and a battleboats STILL running.....these were pre crash tournaments how do i close them down...it has been so long....or what do i have to do to get rid of them :) thanks
