Is now open

I am sending this as an open invitation to anyone to join Foxy Ladys Coffee House and Cafe' '

Foxy (aka Tony) was a regular on BK for many years. She was a sweet lady, private in many ways, and loved to just have fun her with her BK friends.

She passed away in 2013 and I've asked Fencer to allow me to be BB of her fellowship. In her honor, and as a way of always remembering Foxy, I want to invite people to join the FS for some tourneys and friendly chat. If you knew Foxy Lady, I hope you will consider joining. Thanks in advance.

Feb 2015 Jay and Silent Bob's Dark Chess #4

oh, and how about Parachute L of A

In a week or so, I'm going to try to sit down and make another batch of Site Team Tournaments (Like to get them up early so teams have plenty of time to find members).

Any suggestions - ideas - any games I've been overlooking.

There is a Halma 10x10 Team tournament scheduled to start in less than 2 days ( Feb 2015 Jump! Jump! Jump! - Halma 10x10 #4 ) However there are only 3 teams signed up, so hopefully there is another fellowship out there who will join in!!!

Looking for new members for my fellowship, Brian's 1971 Pub. Starting February 14th, we have 10 chess tournaments beginning. That is chess and 9 chess variants. It is our biggest offering of games ever at the pub. So please send a request for membership if you are not already a member so you can play in these tournaments.

The Wheel

Anyone want join and liven the place up?

they are people who have let their membership laps. they are still listed as being in the fellowship but they can't do anything in them

I was trying to find a Mancala Fellowship to join. I am a Brain Pawn. When I click on "fellowships" a list is given. Every fellowship I look at says "You cannot join this fellowship because to join you must be Brain Knight or higher. However, when I look at the members, a whole lot of them are Brain Pawns like me. Whats the problem here?

Do you love animals? Are you an animal? How about joining ! The Zoo fellowship?

It's a "free range" zoo, of course!

If you are not on a crowded backgammon team for the upcoming Crowded Backgammon Team Tournament, we could use you on our team, as well.

Just go to ! The Zoo and request membership.

It's been a little slow in there recently, but we'd like to get more active again, like the "old days". If there is interest, I will start making more tournaments in there again.

It's just a friendly, no drama fellowship. Kinda silly at times.

coan.net: Thank you for the information. Is there, really, a way to tell which fellowship is which? Except for the big ones, I guess, which should be easy to recognize by the number of members.

One of the things I love about fellowships - is joining a team (for a game I like), and then being on that team in a "Site Team Tournament" against other fellowships.

There are a few different types of fellowships.

There are "Big" fellowships, with a lot of people - and a lot of people on their teams. IN MY OPINION, It is nice to join those fellowships, but NOT to join their teams. A lot of site team tournaments limit the number of players a fellowship can send, so if only 5 will play, and there are 10 on that fellowship team - 5 will be left out. (So stay off those teams, and possible just play in their "Fellowship Tournaments" - which are tournaments just for those in that fellowship)

Small, Private, Chat - These are usually ran by a player, and usually just a select friends of that player belong. Possible not many tournament/games, but mostly around for the discussion boards.

Small, Tournament Bound - These usually try to get teams together for Site team tournaments or Fellowship vs. Fellowship tournaments. These are GREAT to get on since you will most likely play more and help out your team more.

crosseyed: Thank you

ThunderGr: Don't join too many Fellowships. Be selective on the one or more you join. You can sign up for Fellowship tournaments, but once you sign up for a game you can't join the same game in another Fellowship. You can join team tournaments in other Fellowships as long as it not the same game.

Chimera: Thank you for responding. Is there a limit on how many fellowships you join or create? What if the fellowships you have joined play in the same tournament? What are the rules about fellowships and participation in teams?

they vary ThunderGr: Some have tournaments and maybe ponds. They may also enter teams in the team tournaments. Others lean more towards chat.

Can someone point me to the right direction to find out what fellowships are about? There is nothing really enlightening in the FAQ.

Please checkers players join my fellowship, Brian's 1971 Pub to participate in checkers games tournaments beginning march 15th.

I've added a few more site team tournaments, including a 21 point Hyper Backgammon one - Hyper Backgammon is a quick game, so playing to 21 points shouldn't take *super* long time to complete.

I try to shake it up with different games, so if you think I'm missing a game, let me know and I may give it a try.

Dear friends:
Trying to promote new memberships for my fellowship, I´ve created this Prize tourney:
The Chess Club (1. December 2013, 12:42:24)
Please feel free to invite all your friends (they must require membership to enter)
Regards,

* BIG BAD * Battleboats

I am on a recruiting mission. I am looking for players to join Brian's 1971 pub. I am looking for players who want to be active and make suggestions and express opinions on the direction of the fellowship. Also looking for players who may wish to captain teams for team tournaments. If this sounds like you who wants to be active and not just another fellowship member please send me a request to be a part of this pub and I will add you. Thanks and I hope to hear from you soon.

Starting September 15th backgammon and variants single elimination tournaments. 3 point matches with doubling cube only at Brian's 1971 pub. Contact me for inclusion into the fellowship.

Brian aka Big Boss of Brian's 1971 pub

rod03801: Thanks Rod,(i'm the little boss)I think that worked.

Carl: Well, you have to be the little boss or big boss to do that.

If you are one of those. You have to have a team set up for the tournament type you want to create. Bring up that team on your fellowship's main page, and you will see a box for creating a tournament just for that fellowship.

If you don't have a team for that game, simply create one. No one has to be on the team.

I'm in a fellowship and we want to start a tournament,could someone please give me some pointers on how to go about this,thanks.

MadMonkey: Ok with you : Scrambled Eggs

coan.net: I will ask again for Lines of Action (been over a year since that) or of course Scrambled Eggs, Parachute or Cheshire versions which have all been longer than that.

They may not be the most played games here, but they have had Teams entered...5 was the least Teams entered, with 10 for Scrambled Eggs

coan.net: Agreed.. I hate that whole "fellowship deleted" label.

Created a batch a team tournaments for June.

Random Chess was the #2 picked from the opinion poll - http://brainking.com/en/OpinionPoll?poid=894

#1 was a random backgammon, but since there was one of those in October that is still running, I went with the #2 choice to get more variety on the site.)

As always - feel free to post site team tournament suggestions. I'm always open to suggestions.

Brf: I don't support deleting inactive fellowship (since it's a pain to look at old site team tournaments and see the winning fellowship was "fellowship deleted")

But would LOVE to see a way to "hide" inactive and/or deleted fellowship (rather than just delete them.) This would also help in lets say a big boss comes back after many months (years) and would like to try to continue an old fellowship - could just "unhide" and let them continue if they wanted.

I'd say over half the fellowships listed on this website are either dead or have like 1 or 2 members and no activity.

It makes it rather difficult to actually see what fellowships are active and might be interesting enough to look at and join when you have to sift through all that dead weight.

Fencer (or support crew) please consider at least filtering the deadweight out or better yet straight deleting a Fellowship that clearly is no longer in use.....many of the worst offenders have big bosses that haven't logged on in years.

thanks!

TC: try joining BrainKings number 1 fellowship...
The ORIGINAL Flame Pit

TC: well I move several time everyday ;)

Enough fast.

Mostly play backgammon games in tournaments which they finish in 1-2 months (before dying wait a roll in years like others)

TC: how fast?
