Is that the way you chose to prepare us for the introduction of dungeons and dragons to BK? (wink, wink)

I add my voice to the "agree" crowd, for a different reason: because everyone creates "all game" tourneys, there are far too many. Either people set the minimum number of participants too high, and they never start for lack of participants, or they set it low and we have a zillion "tourneys" with 4 participants, which is not much fun.

One may hope that "official" tournaments, if not run too often, may solve this problem.

Tulip: This is Fencer's April fools joke. you're awarded 1 action point on every click on "remove" which won't work. A secret generator is activated: if you succeed in removing the message (will happen if you can click faster than 2 times per second for more than a minute) you'll be awarded an extra 100 action points!

Fencer: yes, but only once. If the browser stays open, the next click on the GameList bookmark takes you to your page, not the guest page.

Subjekt: Re: pests as ads
Fencer: That's why I have as a bookmark GameList, not BrainKing. What do I need the login page for, if I can just as well log in from the guestmode GameList page?

At home I do what I want, I leave a tab permanently on BK. at work (OK, OK, I know) I just take a peek from time to time, then kill the tab. so a bookmark is useful.

Subjekt: Re: pests as ads
Fencer: I don't think so. when, for example, while reading this forum, I click on http://brainking.com , it takes me to the login page, not the GameList page.

19. marca 2007, 08:33:38
rabbitoid 
Subjekt: Re: pests as ads
Fencer: I have the GameList page as bookmark, because the Brainking page asks every time for the password (even if it's only one click with password memorized), even if the browser stays open. The GameList bookmark does not.

19. marca 2007, 08:24:47
rabbitoid 
Subjekt: Re: pests as ads
Fencer: you're right. It's not the login page. my bookmark points to the GameList page, and since I'm not yet logged in to the session, I'm in guest mode, with the login prompt on top. It's there where I have a banner, and sometimes the pest.

This ad takes over the whole browser so I can't log in, maximises the browser to more than the screen size (a nice gimmick) and adds a popup that firefox doesn't catch and that comes back when you first kill it. All in all, not the best publicity for brainking!

We all know that Brainking is not a charity operation, it has to make a living. So we get banners and other stuff, et least as long as we don't log in as rooks. Fine by me. but  every once in a while I get as on my login page A major pain in the neck called DriveCleaner which invites me to install some stupid thing on my computer or else. Fencer, can you PLEASE get rid of at least this sponsor? This is just one step short of directly installing a voluntary virus on your machine. See, for example, This link.

If you want something really exotic, you could implement those games on a torus, a Moebius strip or a Klein bottle. A lot of fun for Fencer, first to program it (perhaps not too difficult), then to explain the rules (next to impossible)

I may be a bit dim, but could someone please explain again the functionning of the Fischer clock?

Example: I have a game that started 5 days ago, with setting "Time: 7 days, Bonus: 1 day, Limit: 15 days, no days off". We are now at move 17, which means that the "time left" climbed slowly up to the 15 day limit, and that's where it is now, 5 days into the game: both players have 15 days "time left".

But is that the way it was supposed to be? if the max "time left" is 15, shouldn't it read now 15days minus the time we have been using so far?
