Does anyone else find the graphics on Alquerque take a while to load? I'm on a 150kb modem, and use 1024 x 768 pixels screen definition, but the game board takes much longer to load than any of the other games and the actual board itself seems quite a bit larger.

Fencer, I love the new games! Any chance the Alquerque and Jarmo board graphics could be made smaller for faster loading times?

Linda, you gave me a list of questions and said "please include them with every interview". I didn't go through them all each time to see how appropriate they were to each person being interviewed. I had a template with questions people had asked me to include on each one (that would normally be appropriate no matter who it was) and I built off that for new questions I received.

I've just published everything I'd received.
But I think the problem is that some people had created "universal questions" for all future interviews.

I just finished reading the interview with Kevin. For the record I DIDN'T ask one question.
And how stupid is this?

Question:What is your real name?
Submitted by:Linda J
Reply:My name really is Kevin.

Question:Where did the nickname Kevin come from?
Submitted by:Linda J
Reply:It's really my first name :-)

Kevin, nothing to do with you. I think you're a wonderful young man, but you know that I've told you myself. Just like I knew your name was Kevin.

Fencer and Harley DO NOT attach my name to any more interviews.

Bernice, I'm not quite sure what happened at moneybookers the first time I used it! I was sat with my mobile, but it all went through without a text.
The first time I used the site, I think I clicked the wrong thing, I tried to 'pay by credit card' instead of another option? I think you're supposed to click on 'pay through a moneybookers account' (or similar) and then enter your card. It was some simple mistake like that I made, and I nearly gave it up and didn't go back! But I'm glad I did. Now its set up, payments are simplicity itself. (Just what I need!) If you want to give it another try, have my email or an IM window open and I'll go through it with you. It IS possible without a mobile number! (And if they absolutely insist, you can use mine!)

Phew, at last, after several months of postponing :-)
Interview with Kevin.

MrLoupCity :)
what a wonderful gesture :0) and thank you so much
No way would I take any of your time so I could be a member, thanks you so much.
Harley offered to assist me, but I have decided that BerniceC will no longer be a paid member...all games are currently ebing finished and thank you to all that have suffered my pathetic game ratings, but I do it for the enjoyment...
Again thanks for the offers that I have had, but Im not playing as BerniceC again after the current games are finished.

BerniceC just a thought could u not send out a money order to Fencer and maybe the time laps Fencer could take 1 of my weeks to fill in ur time. Tell it would get there. Or what ever they have like that downunder. But if they don't have money orders. U could just mail it to me and I would be glad to get 1 for u. In November that is what I'm hoping to do.
:o{P

Geez!! most of florida is so waterlogged now anyway..

to those in the path of the cyclone?

Harley???***I've never had a text message! Its always worked great for me too. Not had a problem at all.***

How do you finish the transaction on moneybookers?

They tell you that a number will be sent to your phone and you have to put it in before the transaction is complete....this is why I couldnt use it...I used my GF phone but we never got the confirmation code??

Im confused??

Nothing new I know but..... LOLOL
Even whisperzQ had trouble with moneybookers, and he said it costs australians to use it..
Oh well..no worries now

Path at the moment is predicted to be in the southern part of Central Florida. I'll be in the area most like to feel a good chunk of that wind. The path is shown to be near Malabar and the county line area to the south.

I never use my days..if they can be donated I will be more than happy to donate all of mine! I hope everyone that is in the path of this storm is safe! My prayers are with you!!

lol I got lots of beer so I'll be fine!!! It does look like we'll get the bad part of this one though.....

Dodge!! Or in your case.. Florida!!

and anyone else down there as well..

I've never had a text message! Its always worked great for me too. Not had a problem at all.

Awwwww, what a nice gesture. You just don't know how much it's appreciated! I think I'll be ok. I've got a lot of days left. I'm not sure about anyone else here.

The way it's looking now, Backoff and the east coast is probably going to be the one this time in the direct line of the storm. It's looking like all of Florida will be getting a part of this one in the next few days. Only time will tell where it comes in and how bad it will be. Maybe we'll get lucky and it will die out! :o)

flooz, just come on out to Texas. I'm sure Toast and I can stash you somewhere!

As far as Moneybookers.... I've found it works really great, Fencer gets the money within seconds it seems, and I get the text message to my cel fast. I still dont understand how a text message is supposed to be a receipt, but it works. I use it now for all payments that people send me.

I have 25 days left for vacation days.. I don't mind donating 15 to 20 of them to help those in critical times.. So.. I wish to contribute any part up to 20 days to someone dealing with the traumas of the upcoming hurricane ..

Hey Backoff! You missed out on Charley, and you can keep Frances!

They just announced on the news that evacuations are starting here again tomorrow morning.

Unfortunately, many of the shelters in this area that were used for Charley have been destroyed or are unsafe here. If we get the winds that they are predicting for this area from this storm, we are going to have some major problems. Everyone here is struggling, and just trying to get through day by day as it is.

All you folks in Florida, take care and stay safe!

Ellie can have my vacation days...
*edited for spelling*

Ellie Take care let us know how you are soon!

Ellie: You have 6 days left, I can set your vacation for the next week. And good luck.

Take care Ellie :o) and others over there

hurricane frances is coming straight at us, they say it will be the worse catastrophic storm to ever hit central FL., we're drivig to Long Island, New York, leaving in a few hours, taking I-95 straight thru, i hope richmond Va. is now passable. i put in for a few days off, hopefully i'l get on here from my sons house,. Fencer, if i'm not here, would you please extend my days.
thank you ellie

so I'll know after all ... I don't ask for fun :") ... see you ~*~

As far as I know, Dano, there are no German customer service people.

hard of reading everywhere ... seasonal, I guess ... ~*~

Speak up Dano we can't hear you!

what about german customer service - the channel noise to high ? ~*~

I dont like the idea of giving out my phone number to be honest and always use my paypal anyways.

Stevie: Why don't you use a credit card on my Moneybookers account? You know that I cannot have a PayPal account.

Did you remember to renew BBW? LOL

I asked a while ago - is there a customer service for germany ? ~*~

... and when I renewed in May, I believe my payment then went to harley. (so it mush have been between March & May... April maybe!) <grin>

Well technicly harley is part of customer service so it really isn't "third parth" - But yes, I agree that at least a quick note somewhere in the payment section would be helpful to some.

It wasnt in march, I still think it should be noted somewhere obvious on the paying pages before doing it, that its going via a third party sort of thing and say who

Stevie - I believe it's been that way for awhile.

I believe the problem is if Fencer accepted PayPal payments directly, the fee's taken out are a LOT HIGHER for him. So what happens I believe is harley does that part, then harley gets the payments to Fencer in either 1 big bunch (less fees), or some other way.

You would have to talk to Fencer, but I'm sure he would accept the money directly if you (or anyone) picked up the extra fee's and costs associated with it.

Go away, Frances!!!

Just when we thought we had enough problems dealing with Charley's mess........here comes this pest.

The west coast looks in the clear at the moment.....but, the East coast is under the gun......and I live on the inland part of the East Coast of Florida.

have paypal donations been going via Harley then?

Surely this information should be made obvious somewhere?

Id rather be paying fencer directly for memberships etc

Fencer, can you find out why I cant get into my Amazon game against BFG?

how about a game called "horny toad" for us stalkers? ;-)

Id eat it LOL

If I had a frog I would throw it at you Stevie! (But i lose those also) :-(

*bites tongue very hard*

Unfortunutly I do not know any of the games. All I know if I put 5 in the waiting room accepted a couple from the waiting room (including one from White - 6 game match or something like that), then at that time I only seen 2 games in my "opponents turn list, and 0 for mine - and all invites had been taken.

.... maybe I'm just losing it..... :-)

BBW: Games cannot just disappear. Do you know at least one ID?
T-shirts: Not much. About twenty or something like that. Should I be surprised? :-)

Yes... how many more t shirts to be sold for the new server? What is the t shirt count so far?

Is an official game name, so I guess we best not go calling this one frogger even if it isnt anything like the real one :o) Dont want fencer in trouble do we

I guess some money for a new server has been already collected :) when we should expect a new server for BK or it's few:) T-shirts away :-)
