Board for everybody who is interested in BrainKing itself, its structure, features and future.
If you experience connection or speed problems with BrainKing, please visit Host Tracker and check "BrainKing.com" accessibility from various sites around the world. It may answer whether an issue is caused by BrainKing itself or your local network (or ISP provider).
frolind: I came on about twenty minutes ago thru Google (my Home Page - pop ups blocked tho) - no problems here - played my games, looked around, etc... :)
BIG BAD WOLF: it is just that Walt Disney is very touchy about usage...but if they were in public domain I guess it could be alright :)...just a query :)
BerniceC: As far as I know, when I got the images there were in the public domain free to use. So as long as money was not made from them, they should be OK to use - again, as far as I know.
alanback: Yes, for the small picture - you can e-mail it to fencer at fencer@brainking.com - make sure you include your user name (and user # is also helpful if you know it.)
40x50 pixel picture - jpg format.
If anyone does not know how to do that and would like to use one that I set up - I'm pretty sure if you send Fencer a PM and let him know the page I listed below, and let him know which icon you would like to use, Fencer can pull it from there himself.
I actually have about 10 more that I made that I have not added to the page yet. When I change mine, I normally make a few to see which one I like best sized that small.
Again, the ones in the link are open for anyone to use if they want.
dams: It means that there are 22x games with the same characteristics waiting (same challenger, color, period, etc).
If you accept one of those invites, it will decrese (to 21x in your example)
This must have been asked - and answered - several times before, but since browsing through 300-odd pages is well-nigh impossible, hope someone will whet my curiousity:
In the Waiting Games page, below some games one finds in parantheses "nx", like (3x), (22x) etc. What does the number n stand for? Thanks 4 an answer from anyone.
playBunny: Fencer does sound like he is the lone King Of The Hill. ;) It has been a long time since I played Ladders and I'm done with IYT. I just have to get used to Stairs and this site. Most everything is improvable in kife and play. Thanks for all comments. ;~)
Dryznik: The IYT Ladder system allows you to challenge 2 people within 20 places above yourself and have 2 challenges from other people below.
The BrainKing Stairs allows you to choose from 4 Steps (your own and the three below). That can mean a greater or lesser choice of players depending on how many people there are on those Steps. The fact that you look down rather than up to choose an opponent is a new perspective. It's too early to say how well it's going to work.
The GoldToken Ladders are the real "program induced" ones. Players are assigned to play one other on their current Step at random. That's neither a good thing nor a bad thing.
Fencer doesn't intend to sound rude when he says suck it up or go away... lolol.
Dryznik: You remember wrong. You could only play a maximum of 4 games in any one ladder and you were limited to playing those within a certain limit on the ladder.
Dryznik: Your "freedom living" is to choose a site which fulfils your criteria the most. Nobody is forced to play here. Our system is our system and I won't change it.
As I recall Ladders at IYT any lower rung player could challenge anyone on the ladder and have several games going at once on that Ladder. That made challenges and play more worth playing--instead of 'program induced' persons to play! Not able to choose who one plays is like losing freedom living. Isn't Brainking made up of teamwork to make the site, games and player's challenges better for overal enjoyment?
