well, there are ponds that'll start in 96 days with >30 players... and most that will start within the next month have enough to start... and i didnt have a brain rook for a while so i'm not in the loop and trying to get more ponds started ;)

Pedro Martínez: me too. Mega-mass pond, 100 players has been waiting for 6 months for 20 more players to start :)

rabbitoid: Yup, agreed… I would just like saeco to show me where those filled-up ponds are…

Pedro Martínez: I had mine start twice weekly, but after a while people stopped signing up. A pond a week seems to be a good compromise.

saeco: since there are a ton of ponds all filled up

Really?

since there are a ton of ponds all filled up, but they will start in 15.30...60 days... i created some new ones that are ready to start in the next days.

duh.....cant move with 0 points...my bad

rabbitoid: lol....seriously though...I have a pond I cant move in

Bwild: I do, lately every time I move I get this "Splash" message

anyone having trouble with making pond moves?
I sent an inquiry to our illustrious leader....but he must be busy with bk27.9

Resher: bravo lubinek! move 20 was well calculated.

alexlee: It took me a while to work out what was interesting, but yes, very unusual!

Darn... Splash...

rabbitoid:
I only remember one other one but I don't believe it was yours, it was very long ago. Must be a way to find any, they would have no winner listed?

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

At least not with those I've been setting up.

Please sign up -> 20 :P Ratp , 20 :P Ritd , 20 :P Ritr (Ponds with 2 days per move)

aaru: Half of em would prolly be multinicks

alexlee: Thanks rod03801 and alexlee, I found it.

pedestrian:
The part of the rules Pedro is refering to are the following:

Each individual who plays on BrainKing is asked to use one, and only one, BrainKing account. Multiple accounts created for cheating in tournaments, games, ratings, or to get around bans on boards are prohibited.

NO CHEATING. This includes using outside programs to help play and *losing on purpose for the goal of boosting ratings.* Your account may be banned, and ratings will be removed.

pedestrian: There's a link at the bottom of EVERY page.

Pedro Martínez: I'm sure the user agreement is posted somewhere, but I can't find it. Maybe it's just me, be I think it's best if the rules are made as obvious as possible.

pedestrian: If pawns are allowed in ponds, the rules need to be clarified. For instance, there's nothing in the pond rules about people coordinating their moves and/or playing together as a team.

There is no need to do that. The general rules of the User Agreement clearly prohibit such conduct.

pedestrian: hmmm. Are you saying that I could create a pond, create 15 multinics and win the pond with about 100,000 points left.

But I couldn't do that because I would have to ban myself

Vikings: If pawns are allowed in ponds, the rules need to be clarified. For instance, there's nothing in the pond rules about people coordinating their moves and/or playing together as a team. It would be quite easy to have a few friends sign up as pawns and make helpful moves. And only those who follow this board closely have any idea whether this is allowed or not. 

Bwild: You know what happens when you hold your breath too long...

Vikings: heres me holding my breath!

furbster: originally it was a perk for paying members but I think Fencer has plans to let pawns play (at least on a limited basis) when BK3.0 comes out

aaru: sorry not playing ponds any more
to much of a farce to be real

I think it'd be good if pawns can play, not really sure why they can't!

aaru: not unless pawns are allowed in, at least on a limited basis ( again at Fencer)

rabbitoid: Yes, I know. Would be nice to be back with 100 players Ponds ;)

aaru: That's more than 6 weeks away. Don't worry, they'll fill up :)

Please sign up -> 20 :P Ratp , 20 :P Ritd , 20 :P Ritr (Ponds with 2 days per move)

Justaminute: thank you at last someone sees it for what it really was personal

has for your post Paully read the rules on ponds and see why i was sticking up for Tenuki nothing to do with being important

paully: I’ve spent the last hour reading all the posts on this subject with a growing sadness.

Pedestrian- Regarding your post that you don’t like it here anymore and you’re finished. Don’t forget the vast majority of members just play their games, don’t take them too seriously and never make a post. Don’t let the vitriol of a small minority disillusion you.

I like to think Fencer’s remarked were written in haste and he regrets them. It is a shame he didn’t issue a quick apology rather than letting things run.

Paully, it’s funny how two people can read something so completely different. I’ve never played either Pedro or Tenuki but Tenuki’s ratings over a large number of games speak for themselves. While Pedro clearly things Tenuki has cheated it is also clear to me that much of this is personal and rather unpleasant.

Pedro Martínez: its not surprising Pedro.
No need to fight anymore, it is obvious he was cheating, he is now banned, the right outcome has been achieved.
It is funny how some people defend an obvious cheat just so they can feel important LOL

tenuki: Editing your own post so nobody can see you were wrong? :) OK, it doesn't surprise me at all.

tenuki: By Tanein.

You can't sign up for any ponds. You say you can? OK, sign up for some and post the pond here so we can see.

I was accused many times and by many people. Always by inept people who don't know how ponds are played though. YOU have now accused me of cheating. I want you to provide more information. Where did I cheat?

Pedro Martínez:
Well, I will stop this nonsense right now. I don´t want to talk anymore with Pedro. PERIOD.
You know you were accused before and NOT by me!

tenuki: Be specific and elaborate on your own accusations or shut up.

Snoopy: Right. He now shows his real nature.
Deviating other´s attention away from his own conduct here.
You know some people needs to degrade others to upgrade themselves.

Snoopy: Why? Tenuki is banned from ponds, that's I wanted from the very beginning. Im my view, it still is rather a moderate sanction…

Pedro Martínez: thats a really sad statement on your part
tells me so much

tenuki: Do whatever you want, my misson has been accomplished.

Pedro Martínez: I never claimed my formula to be perfect, efficient, accurate, good or even fair...just a formula as many players have.
I will answer privately any message from all the players who I don´t hate, which are almost all except for the one making false accusations.

tenuki: its always good to hear both sides of a story
then its up to the rest of us on who we choose to believe
