Unfortunately Dan these days there are far too many multi nicks for someone to go out on a limb and sponsor you I would imagine.
You also draw attention to yourself a little too much by losing your patience with your subtle hints and coming right out and blatantly asking people to sponsor you and pay for your membership.
Danger Danger Will Robinson. Warning flags are going up all over the place.
I also noticed you chose to ignore one particular part of my previous post stating that at Pocket-Monkey there is free unlimited games and unlimited moves all day. Sure the site does not offer anything as good as this site, however, for someone who cant afford to pay, it is the perfect solution and also means you are never in need of a game due to the unlimited games on that site.

PLease do not take this personally as I am not accusing you of fraud. I just wish to point out why people would be hesitant to sponsor you.
Have fun!!!

I guess there is nobody to help this poor broke lonely old man with a small membership... :-(
Lord, Send me an Angel...

and while posting messages here as well.. think its time for me to have some sleep :-)

Goodnight to all!!

aww, ok, thought it was my machine... anyway, its also while opening Reversi 6x6 - that is wee small :-)

alqueque are slow anyway because they are way too big

Its mostly while opening Backgammon games and Alqueque..

OK for me :o)

is there a problem somewhere on the BK server?

No worries!

I see what you mean, Rose. I should have made it clearer that I was replying to Daniel Snyder's post (he's got the USA flag on his profile).
My fault. :)

ah thanks bbw .. that explains :)

US maybe Ceridwen, but not for all countries. In Canadian funds it's much higher.

A Rook membership here is about $20 for 6 months and about $35 for a year.

I would like to correct you on IYT. IT has a 25 move a day limit. You play up to 20 games as well on free membership.

The BKR almost always changes, but sometimes the change is so small you will not see anything.

So in might have first been 2076.2, then 2076.5, then 2076.9, then the last win might have moved it to 2077.1 - which is why sometimes you get +1, and sometimes a +0. :-)

Chessworld allows only 5 games but the price is only 19$ US for 1 year membership... (IYT) Itsyourturn allows only 20 moves per day... Pente and Chessmaniacs are free sites and Pente 100 game limit chessmaniac has no limit... I will in about a year of playing every day is probably when I can afford my Rook Memebership... $50...
Thank you and all of you for being very nice...

hmm .. the bkr formula was changed ?

i thought with a difference of more than 400 points nothing changed if the higher player won ?

but in a game of froglet with a friend i got :

Hrqls: old BKR = 2076, new BKR = 2077 (+1)
SandyH: old BKR = 1090, new BKR = 1089 (-1)

I see on your profile that you also play at Chessworld.net, IYT.com, Pente.net and Chessmaniacs.com.
Do these sites have limits on your number of games? I would have thought that all sites combined would give you plenty of games to play.
Other sites such as Pocket-Monkey.com give you unlimited games for free, although the site is far from as good as this in most areas, however, if your problem is not having enough games to play, well I think we have just solved that one for you :)
Cheers

I think it's OK , since 19 + 1 =20 ;)

As a Brian pawn... My games are at 19 going, 1 waiting... When I went into the Waiting game... It said that I was at my limit on games... Go Figure...

dont be in a rush though ... other things might be more important :)

You cannot sort it. But it should be sorted at least by a game category. I'll look at it.

i am probably missing an option again
(hey i learned! i didnt post this in the feature forum right away ;))

could someone please tell me how to sort the list of game types which i can chose from when i want to invite someone to a game ?

it just took me several minutes to invite to a game of small pente because i overlooked it in the list
(yes i should look better i know .. but sorting the list alphabetically or something else would work as well ;))

ok thanks Wolf..:)

THE HIT MAN - Have you went into setting to setup Auto vacations? Did they time out during a time you had setup for weekend or vacation? If neither of these, and your games run out of time - they will time out.

Fencer this time out is not working for me. I've lost some good games. The ones sitting on me get more time added. Whats this all about?

Daniel: Hmm ... maybe try going through the running Prize tournaments, find one where a paying member is about to win & start negotiating :-)

If I don't do it first ! LOL

Click Here
That will help you get membership :)

I do not know if this is allowed by fencer but I am asking for anybodies help on getting a higher membership...

But I bet Bernicce had a tinny or two along with a barbie first also LOL

I did notice that LOL A lot easier to show yourself after a skinful LOL

Notice the Czech members weren't daft - they went to the pub!

I find that page scarey LMAO j/k ;oÞ

...spreading the Gospel according to Fencer.

Way to go, Bernice! Nice to see you, girl!

Well done Bwild and the Ironhorse Saloon.

"great"...well done

ty ;)

It should be fixed now. Hopefully :-)

Yes, I can see it now. Strange. I'll fix it.

Which game was it?

id like to make a point about game times . im playing in some one day limits on fri it should have added my weekend days but it didnt i had to move it after midnight friday (my time) to get the extra two weekend days added .

Okay, once again. The "time left" values generated before reenabling the game time were not accurate, just estimated. They didn't count vacations, weekend days etc. That's why several games seemed to be timeouted but when a timeout occurs and the corresponding player has a day off (weekend, vacation, site holiday), the game is protected and the script adds 24 hours to its time left.
It's nothing but logical. The purpose of days off is to avoid timeouts. That's why no timeouts can happen during such days.

he mentioned it in a few places Skyking. but i cant remember where LOL

Thanx rod..i should have just asked where Fencer wrote about timeouts LOL

Fencer mentions the "non synchronization" on the tournaments discussion board.

LISTEN LJ it wasnt like that this time due to the alterations made

the extra 48 hours is added to the time initially before the weeken is even reached.
for example, if you are playing a 3 day game and you just made a move and it is Friday and your opponents weekend is Saturday and Sunday, the time left will "immediately" show 5 days and not 3

It could have been automatic vacation, but it could also been as Stevie described. When the time was turned back on, some of my games were scheduled to time out on my weekend days (which in this case is monday and tuesday). Fencer mentioned that some of the times were not synchronized yet. So I am assuming that for cases like this, he programmed it so that this would not happen.

I'm learning that LOL

Skyking: If you look into the person's profile, you will he has free days on Saturday and Sunday ... The way the new time-out system works is, that it adds extra 24 hours *after* you time-out (if it is weekend or holidays).
