speachless: I did 5 per team not to long ago for a cloning gammon tournament, and got 7 teams - so 5 sounds good. Done. Stuck it in to start in October!

As it becomes more and more difficult to find players for tournaments, I invite anyone interested to join my fellowship "Spells and magic potions". Everyone is welcome. My f/s will exist as long as it's possible, I renewed my subscription for 6 months and I will renew it as long as it is possible to play. Thank you all.

Marshmud: Yes, I will keep making them - usually I have more up before they last ends, but have been busy - I will sit down and get them made soon.

SUGGESTION TO BIG BOSSES: As fellowships are having a harder time getting teams together, if you have a popular fellowship, with many extra members on your teams - maybe look at being a partner with another fellowship, or even encourage some players to spread out to other fellowship teams. Since we have been having a harder and harder time getting enough teams to enter (sometimes even the popular games are only getting 4-5 teams to enter, which if there may be enough players for a few more teams if we work together.) I know if won't be easy, or kind of defeats the purpose of building a big powerful team, but the more teams we can get, the better the team tournaments are! Just a thought.

Subject: Re: Site Team Tournaments
coan.net: I guess I agree with MM because we do have problems with getting teams together now. My suggestion is to make the popular games a larger team maybe 6 players and the less played games a 4 player team. I know monkey and myself will actually play with another fellowship just to get a tournament up and running.

Other then that I'm excited to know that the team tournaments will continue.

I'll try to post some site team tournaments soon - sorry, just been busy. I'll most likely just pick some of the more popular games and make many stretched out for a few months..... and as always - ANY SUGGESTIONS OF GAMES you would like to see?

Marshmud: I certainly am in favour of them....even if it is a struggle sometimes to get enough teams
Even if it has to be the most played games, at least it would be something
It just seems that so many have no interest in BrainKing now since Fencer's announcement.

Personally i find it so so sad

Aganju: Only the pages which prompt for a password are labelled insecure, if they are not of protocol https. once this barrier is passed Chrome (Firefox too) doesn't care anymore. Until the next upgrade, LOL

Aganju 
Subject: Re:
Carnie: no. Chrome has started to report all non-https sites as 'insecure'. This is not related to anything happening at BK, but a general move in the internet. Security of BK is unchanged; it was never high-security, but there is also not much to lose or steal. Any hacker above twelve would probably focus on pages where there is something steal-worthy.

The future

Happy New Year 2017.

As you probably know, BrainKing will be 15 years old this year and it is also the last year when it would have an official support. Many things changed since October 2002 when the site had been launched and I think it's only fair to our members if they know (in advance) what they can or cannot expect.

1) BrainKing is guaranteed to be running at least to the end of 2017. After that, nothing will be guaranteed. For instance, the site could become offline for a longer time, an unexpected error could break some important features, games could timeout for no logical reason, etc. Since BrainKing is quite a mature product and was programmed to self-repair many usual issues, it is not unlikely that none of these scenarios would happen - but still, it's good if people are aware of that.

2) There will be also no refunds for any kind of membership subscription. I will link this post from the Paid Membership section, so everybody would be informed that purchasing a membership is risky and not recommended to people who expect a service that continuously operates at a peak effeciency without any downtime.

3) It is also possible that, starting January 2018, BrainKing could be suddenly taken down without any warning. If it happens, memberships that would be still active will not be cancelled and their counter of remaining days will be stopped during the whole time of inactivity.

winterangels: As far I understood it is not 100% sure yet. Fencer announced that it might be unsupported after 2018. But this is only one possible scenario. option 2 is for Fencer to sell brainking or he might come up with a third option when time comes, but yes it's possible that the site will run unsupported from 2018 on. It's on you to decide if you take the risk to pay for one year and if BK will work till then.... but maybe I'm wrong, it's just how I understood Fencers announcment

That is an easy fix for Fencer. If he doesn't see this here, you could send him a PM. He typically acts on those.

Can this tourney get a kick start or simply be shut down by Fencer? It's stopped somehow. Or is messing with it impossible? Dice Poker Tournament # 4
