<< < 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 > >> 4. May 2009, 11:58:52 Subject: Re: gogul: And me, I'd love to see a brainking.burger, but I don't think it's going to happen 27. April 2009, 17:26:22 Subject: Re: Turtle trick #1245 alexlee: Of course, the fact that the guy doesn't seem to speak English may has something to do with him not posting :) 27. April 2009, 06:51:39 Subject: Re: Turtle trick #1245 alexlee, Pedro Martínez: If Fencer said it is not going to last long, I believe him. He's been successful in closing loopholes before. Thanks for keeping it alive  23. April 2009, 15:10:59 Subject: Re: Turtle trick #1245 Fencer: Good. Rabbitoid was starting to become paranoid :) 23. April 2009, 14:19:51 Subject: Turtle trick #1245 Sorry to have to bring up again the old, old subject, but it has to be discussed somewhere, and I see no better board. I have this opponent who invented a scheme that demotes our friend the Vanda lover to the rank of amateur. here's the system:
NO NO YES YES YES SAT SUN Etc. Leave a couple of unset days as reserve. All your 5-day games will have a timeout time far in the future.
DONE NO NO YES YES SAT SUN Apparently the system permits you to unset a day in the future, and your unset days couter goes up by one. Every week, or so, add 5 dayes so that your future vacation days are always 4 weeks thick, at least. And, from time to time, whenever the mood strikes you, make a move against someone in a game. Mind, do it slowly, savor the click. You do it so seldom! The only drawback is that you have to log in daily to do this little maneuver. But you don't have to move in any game if you don't really feel up to it. Beautiful, isn't it? 18. April 2009, 14:56:18 Subject: Re: Is this the first 3000 rating on BK? wetware: prince? They must have upgraded the software. I still get the lawyer with the inheritance 9. April 2009, 12:04:00 Subject: Re: Constellation36: Maybe Fencer, trying to whet your appetite  1. April 2009, 13:43:29 Subject: Re: This is neat. Modified by rabbitoid (1. April 2009, 13:43:53) Pedro Martínez: But did you know That while displaying a game, right clicking on the third character in the game's name (for example, the 'e' in 'chess') will pop up a little screen displaying the best move for the position? Well done Fencer! Unfortunately, this feature is only valid today. 26. February 2009, 08:02:50 Subject: Re: Vacation days Carl: Welcome to the wonderful world of automatic vacation 12. February 2009, 21:30:41 ditto, no problems at all for me today, and I've been on for a while. could be a local problem? 7. February 2009, 19:33:11 Subject: Re: "GERRY": This is probably happening very rarely if at all. The basic problem is what to do about people whose pleasure is to play each move in each game 5 minutes before the timeout expires. The answer is nothing, nothing can be done because the rules are respected. Too bad. it's a tough world. 31. January 2009, 20:39:10 Subject: Re: Chips fakar10: they're very good with aioli, barbecue, guacamole or even simple mayonnaise. If you're in an exotic mood you can also try hummus or nam pla. I'd avoid Muhammara, unless you have an extra strong stomach, or a supply of Alka selzer nearby at hand. I hear they've invented some new form of instant diet pills, they might come in handy later in the evening. 21. January 2009, 20:58:28 Subject: Re: Latest poll Pedro Martínez: Ah, that's clearer. Strike that 4th option :) 21. January 2009, 15:28:45 Subject: Latest poll Do you want anonymous visitors profile statistic? I need a 4th option: 4) eh? 4. January 2009, 15:32:36 Subject: intruder Hey, there's a strange looking guy masquerading as Fencer! must be a stranger, Filip never changes his pic! Oh darn now I guess I'll have to go and numerize a new one, too :) 30. December 2008, 13:53:55 Subject: Re: vacation days Fencer: Thanks, good to know. 30. December 2008, 13:50:04 Subject: vacation days Modified by rabbitoid (30. December 2008, 13:52:48) by the way: I have this opponent who sets vacation days for next year, out of his stock from this year. Then, come Jan 1st, he can add to them. This is surely not the way this is intended to work. why, in a couple of years he can set 365 off days! Now, if I could figure out the way to make this gimmick work for me on my job - Why this guy ever paid for a black rook, if he goes this far to find loopholes in order not to move in games, is beyond me. 19. December 2008, 11:35:56 Subject: Re: Smileys ScarletRose: no objection to the description, but do you mean to tell us that with you, during the administration of the treatment, the subject resembles, even remotely, to a smiley? lucky you! 17. December 2008, 07:20:11 Subject: Re: Serious security flaw found in IE rod03801: So this time the "wolf" cry really corresponds to something? My apologies to (V), and of course this doesn't change much my opinion of MS products. 16. December 2008, 23:54:07 Subject: Re: Serious security flaw found in IE (V): yawn I'm no big fan of MS, but this is something I get hundreds of by email each day. My /dev/null folder is always hungry 22. October 2008, 06:21:20 Subject: Re: Long game719 m wetware: Yes, but it's not being used much, so far. 21. October 2008, 20:59:30 Subject: Re: Long game719 m MadMonkey:  good game, you win21. October 2008, 15:10:04 Subject: Re: Long game719 m aaru: I have a better record: a couple of clowning backgammon (sorry) against the site's champion turtle, 86 moves in all, match started 15. January 2007, we're in the 2nd game. It's a 21 point match. I expect to die of old age before it's through. 14. October 2008, 23:34:05 Subject: Re: Advertising in Tip of the day Hmm, what's wrong with Fencer making a something extra on the side with a little advertising if it serves to keep membership fees from rising? since even pawns can disable that part (eh... I think), who cares? 13. September 2008, 18:38:41 Subject: Re: Any reason he is still a moderator of a public board? Czuch: you could have mentioned that you're referring to King Resa somewhere in your post - I thought at first it was you who has decided to go and chuck somewhere else :) 27. August 2008, 22:33:22 keywords: euro, birthday present, membership... I get hundreds of those per day. Any decent spamguard would throw that out :) 24. August 2008, 23:41:02 I may be a bit slow, but what has the fact that the tournament spammer is a pawn got to do with anything? rooks can be pests too, if they choose, and we can all come up with several names who spring to mind (the names will be different for each mind, so don't bother...) And if the gentleman in question is now a pawn, it just means that he left us the tourneys as a going away present before reverting from rook. Nice of him, come to think of it... 24. August 2008, 20:29:12 Subject: Re: Question kleineme: or maybe, simply, add some sort of 'don't show tournaments created by this user.' Fencer? 24. August 2008, 09:00:51 Subject: Question Doesn't anyone else feel that 1259 defined tournament is a bit excessive? 8. August 2008, 16:13:53 Subject: Re: Brainking store 18. June 2008, 17:56:22 Subject: Re: opinion polls LionsLair: and just to jump in ahead of Bernice:  Add also the counter question (worst, feature, worst game) 23. May 2008, 09:56:04 Subject: Re: polls, I detect a beginning symptoms of a serious allergy ScarletRose: Now you tell me! After I've gone and modified my bank online pass again, this time to Az5d%?r, billed 20$, deleted my email account and started a new one, cost 30$ for premium services, reformatted my hard drive, installed the newest Gates junk3.6, cost 199$. Expect the bill in your mail shortly. 22. May 2008, 20:58:10 Subject: Re: polls, I detect a beginning symptoms of a serious allergy volant: Fetishes would be acceptable - that comes under opinion.   22. May 2008, 16:18:36 Subject: polls, I detect a beginning symptoms of a serious allergy I still answered the age question, but further inquiries about my income, health, insurance, height and number of beauty spots will be contemptuously ignored 28. April 2008, 13:02:16 Subject: Re: The statistics on the Braininfo article Fencer: If it is an external S/W then it's certainly per hit or per page. It wouldn't know about your users. 28. April 2008, 12:13:28 Subject: The statistics on the Braininfo article I'm somewhat sceptical about your figures. Can you elaborate? How do you define "use of a browser"? global number of page requests or per user? since heavy user X will use the same computer, browser and environment (most of the time) he will bias the statistics to his browser, no? Still, the data is interesting. Could we have, somewhere in the statistics, a breakdown of the use of browsers? By the way, the "Statistics" doesn't show as a link on my page, but maybe that's only because I'm condemned to IE6 at work  . Never mind, I can still see it using the address http://brainking.com/en/Statistics20. April 2008, 10:46:29 Subject: Re: Fencer: Counter proposal: Set an open ended elimination tournament, with a fixed starting date. On the starting date, all players which are above the 8, 16, 32... limit, in the order of their subscription, are chopped off. So that it's a first come - first play tournament As MadMonkey rightly points out, trying to guess in advance if you can interest 32 or 64 or 128 people in your tournament is impossible. 14. January 2008, 13:15:39 Subject: booooring  Could someone in authority please unblock Dano, or at least Ed? At least they were fun. The current spammers are too repetitive. 13. January 2008, 20:34:22 Subject: Re: srnity: try to connect... obviously. 3. December 2007, 15:18:25 Subject: Re: YES! that's what was always missing on BK! a mini me! 13. November 2007, 11:39:07 Subject: Re: Interviews pauloaguia: what ever happened to the Vikings interview? 4. September 2007, 13:17:32 Subject: Re: Brains nabla: be glad it doesn't say "brain disorder" 20. August 2007, 17:03:16 Subject: Re: Andersp: after I sit in a bar for a while ALL the sixes I see are doubled, so that's no surprise  20. August 2007, 14:40:55 true. someone wins the lottery, after all. that's why I only say probably wrong. 20. August 2007, 14:24:03 probability to get a double: 1/6. probability to get 6 doubles in a row: (1/6)^6 = 1/46656 if anyone gets this, the random generator is probably wrong. probability not to get a double: 5/6 probability not to get a double, 6 times in a row: (5/6)^6 = 15625/46656 or about 1/3. well within reasonable. 16. August 2007, 14:18:39 Subject: Re: Quick Update The Usurper: Dear Mr Usurper, In a recently published article on the brainking.com site, you claimed that the so called browser named « firefox » is not only better, but, quote, 14,341 than our product, Internet Explorer. Now, unless you are prepared to demonstrate to an independent expert how you calculate this ratio, you may expect to hear from our legal department. Sincerely yours Bill Gates P.S. Sorry to hear about your coffee. You may deduct the value (0.25 cent) from the legal costs. B.G 3. August 2007, 12:05:22 Subject: Re: 5000 waiting games srnity: one more question concerning the invites: robtoo has currently 1480 started games, started presumably before he went pawn. The system should let him finish the started games, but not start new ones, since 1480 is slightly larger than the allowed 20 for pawn  . but in that case, shouldn't the invitations be eliminated? I went and accepted one invite, and the game was created, and his count went up to 1481. (I then deleted the game, which may sound rude, but I'll forgive myself). It looks like a bug. << < 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 > >> |
