Czuch: To play Online Poker! You can get to the list of Poker tables by clicking the link on the main page just under "Ponds".

Vikings: It certainly has helped my chips.

Vikings: I checked that out still can,t get in to play

The rest of site is really fast tho for me :)))

How do we get more chips if we get too low to get in any games?

never mind, I got it

Am i right in thinking that the Poker game is written in JavaScript ?

If so are there any plans to change any of the other games so they would run in it, hence stopping the need for page reloading. Would be a bonus for Logik i know that

I don't understand how these work.I'm playing a game against someone with 0 vacation days left,yet when they time out, another 24 hours is added to there time too move? Can anyone shed any light on this phenomenon?

Carl: Weekend days?

Carl:did they renew a membership today if so they get additional vacation days

Pedro Martínez: I didn't think of that.Thanks. But I just checked his days and it is set for Wednesday and Thursday? But i supposed that could have been reset yesterday.I also checked when the game started,it was 11th August 08.It's a 7 point backgammon race game with a 2 day limit.16 moves made so far.I'm no mathematician but that seems like a lot of vacation days used!

Carl: No worries. He'll have to start moving on Friday. Unless he purchases another membership, that is.

Pedro Martínez: hahahahaha......no prizes for guessing who it is either ROFLMBO

Bernice:

Carl: if he was winning he would move

Carl:Hadn't noticed this before, but I see I must be playing the same person.  Still in the first game of 2 7 point matches started in August.  Odd.

Carl: Welcome to the wonderful world of automatic vacation

rabbitoid: Welcome to the WONDERFUL WORLD of BrainKing:)))

alanback: Odd indeed.As well as not being a mathematician I'm also not a psychologist.But this has got me wondering.This stalling is obviously being done on purpose so I'm thinking that perhaps there's some minute sense of power being derived from these tactics? To most of us this is a place to play games,nothing more,nothing less.But to a lesser mind, it may be all they have in life that gives them any sense of self importance.As i said i'm, no psychologist so don't really know how a human mind works and thinks.But surely this behaviour is more to be pitied than scolded.

Carl: Or maybe he's doing it so that players will get fed up and resign - that way he actually manages to win a couple of games

Carl:unluckily that one you are playing is someone that shouldn;t be in brainking .. sorry .. i always make sure that if he signs in any tourney i am not there and he is banned from all my tourneis
eventually he will need to move so push him to limits .. do not give him any break .. move as much as you can

Please remember that Hrqls has asked that talk of this specific person should not continue. Abuse of the vacation days policy and solutions in general are welcome topics.

Thank you.

rod03801: But is there a solution?? We humble members look towards the leadership for it.

rod03801: I also being a humble member the word ABUSE is that on Topic & also look towards leadership for it.

Charles Martel: Well, a few have had suggestions, but I haven't seen any response from Fencer about it. So, I don't know

Fortunately, it's not a wide-spread problem. (As far as people buying memberships over and over again to get a few years' worth of vacation days in one year)

rod03801:I don't think it's so much a matter of abuse as of thoughtlessness.  People should not be subject to criticism for following the rules of the site.  The rules can always be changed if they don't suit the majority of users.  However, deliberately delaying matches is rudeness, another term for which is unsportsmanlike behavior, and that can legitimately be criticized.

rod03801: I thought the talk was to limit the extra days you can get in one year, sure someone is entitled to buy as many memberships in a year as they please, but the talk as I have mentioned was a limit, maybe such as only an extra ten or fifteen days a year.
