(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.

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.

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.

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.

Oh well too late to catch up on my games because this site is so slow at the moment, so I will be wasting another vacation day because it bedtime for me.

<dir>

I decided to try using firefox to see if it would be any faster than IE this what happend:


The connection has timed out










The server at brainking.com is taking too long to respond.



* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few


moments.


So it is Brainking that is too slow.

jryden: I have just spent £21.95 renewing my membership. Therefore I expect to be able to use the site without having too many problems.
I have tolerated the slowness long enough. But happens too often. If lots of people are complaining that the site has problems and is slow he should cancel the time-out. At least that way I would not be wasting my vacation days.

Subject: Slow site.
Another week where the site is so slow that it kicks you off it. Last week was slow and kept kicking me off. I had to use vacation day because I got behind with my games.
Three times today I have been kicked off and I am now going to have to use another vacation day because once again I am behind with my games.

Subject: Re: Red Dot Colour code/ PayPal.
Bernice: I don't want to keep on about this since Fencer has been good enough and changed his mind. Unfortuately for me the money did not get into Fencers account still 01/01/08 09.43.00. So I did technically miss the deadline. But since I had been in touch with Fencer several time before the deadline I was dissappointed that he did not give me the bonus as he was aware that the payment was pending.
Thank you for your input. And I am so grateful that Fencer changed his mind. I intend to give the bonus to someone who cannot afford membership and that was why I was so upset.

Fencer: Thank you Fencer for changing your mind and making an exception. I actually took advantage of the deal on the 18th December which you would see in my PayPal account. Unfortuately PayPal has changed it rules and I was not aware that the transaction is not completed before 7 to 9 days. In the past the money was taken immediately. I now know that I either have to put money into my PayPal account or allow for the time period. It was just bad luck for me that that there were 2 weekends and the Christmas holiday that held things up.
Once again thank you.

Modified by crosseyed_uk (2. January 2008, 01:15:38)
I thought I was lucky to get the red dot colour code which was 100% bonus. So I took advantage of the offer on 18th December. When it did not show up in my profile the next day I contacted Fencer. I also contacted him when I saw that the money had been taken out of my account on the 21st December. He told me that the money was not his account yet.
Can you believe this, it was paid into his account today and I missed out on the 100% red dot code deal.
I think he should honour the deal since he knew about it before the deadline.
Also was not my fault that the christmas holiday and two weekends held things up. So be warned that PayPal takes too long to complete transactions. It states in Paypal that it could take 7 to 9 days to complete a transaction. You need to allow 2/3 weeks for payments it to be completed. PayPal sucks.

I have tried all choices and I have to say I prefer the old version. I guess I will get used to it in time. And I still get thrown off this site on a daily bases.
