"You are NOT allowed to let other people use your account. If you believe someone has access to your account, immediately change the password on your profile page."

So what happens if someone is using someone else's account because that person has decided to take a break from BK?

Can a person give their password to another person to make their moves while they take some extended time off?

Seems to me that this is one dog that needs a short leash.

it wouldnt be fair to be able to build on using the first persons account using their stats like ranking and rating

Artful Dodger: If people have paid for their membership then it their right to with it what they like with it. What happens if some goes into hospital suddenly? They might ask someone to make thier moves for them while they are in hospital. If they want to take the risk of letting someone use their account that is surely their problem and NOT your.

crosseyed: That's not quite true. If I started a game with someone with a certain BKR, and a certain skill level at a certain game, I have the right to finish out that game with THAT person. Not someone whose skills may be twice that of the "real" person.

rod03801: Well that has to be a man thing the need to win at everything. It could be you might get someone with less skills! I only play for fun. I don't take computer games seriously as it so bias anyway. The dice games are mainly luck.  What happens if two people share an account?


I am due to go into hospital myself and I am trying to get through all my games. Also I am not taking on any more games. But there is chance I might not complete all my games because some people take so long to make moves.

crosseyed: Those are YOUR motives with games. You can't expect everyone to have the same motives. "Just fun"

It's what the User Agreement says. It is what we all agreed to, when we signed up here.

rod03801: Do you really think/believe everyone reads and agrees to the terms?


What I don't like is some arguing in the Flame Pit  Fellowship and then going into another discussion board telling tales and trying to get someone into trouble or banned even.

crosseyed: Unless the hospital has no internet there is no problem. From experience.. they do have internet as well as digital TV, so you can do your moves whilst on the ward.

It will cost you a few bob, but at least you won't (by the rules of this site) be cheating.

(V): OMG. What if someone is too ill to use the internet?  And not all hospitals have the internet.


If someone else made a move in a game with me I would not consider it cheating.


People take things far to seriously and need to lighten up a bit, afterall it only a game site. It's not life treatening if some else make a move on behalf of some one else.


My main reason for responding to the original post is people telling tales on others.

crosseyed: If someone was that ill... why are they worrying about a few games on the internet.. are they not.. or as you said... "I only play for fun."

so why are you worrying if you lose a load of games?

crosseyed: Who cares what is said in that fellowship. It's all just kids being kids, most of them having broken the rules and then just complaining when someone else does it... as it is not them and they are not the ones getting away with it.
