题目: Re: battleship

Hi there GLM there is a game called Tank Battle here which I consider to be even better than Battle Ships. Give it a try and I am sure you will find it challenging.

synchronicity ... glad to be helpful ... :) ... ~*~

Thanks TT, as soon as I can delete again without getting rid of half a dozen other messages in the process I will remove the post Dano left.

Unless, Dano, you would be good enough to remove it for me? It seems TT has deleted one with no problems. I daren't try until I get the green light from Fencer but it would be greatly appreciated if you would remove your posts also?

Fair enough, I have deleted it and will not respond to attacks.

29. 五月 2003, 18:21:19

Please dont bring your arguments here. Dano, you've had your say, now can we leave it there? I do not have a delete option right now which means any inappropriate posts and I'll be left with no option but to ban you. That goes for you too, TT.

题目: I suggest removing the misfeature Hannelore from moderating General Chat

she lies impudently about having sent me private messages.

actually due since long, since she begame part of the gossip-providers
and harrassers ... her heart told her I'm the egg, do you remember ??
she is so incredibly numb and now uncovered as fraud also ...

regarding those facts and, pre-emptively preventing further
cheats from her, as she's actually right now busy blurring
the traces of her misuse, by deleting my messages that just
corrected a deliberate misquoting of my posts (guess who)
- here the original part of her msg ventilating about me.

she is a shame for honesty in general and, this server in particular ... ~*~

题目: Buckwheat

WOW. I know I can be a bit of a negative NElly sometimes, but It loosk like we have found someone with a worse attitude that I have. At least I make some effort to be constructive and make suggestions.

Initially, I thought Buckwheat was using his complaints as a reason to decline invites, because he likes his 2500 rating and knows he won't keep it if he accepts invites. That still may be the case, but now it seems more likely that he just finds anything to complain about and can't see a good thing if there is the smallest drawback to it.

Buckwheat-- Running a site costs money. SOme of us have decided to contribute to the cause, while others have decided to complain. Maybe you are saying "Hey, it is not my job to subsidize a site, they are a business and they have to give me something before I pay up."

To this I have two responses.

1) In the real world, one has to PAY before receiving any service most or all of the time, and

2) although gaming sites are a buit different in that the gaming site must provide something to the customer BEFORE the customer will pay, I would argue that Brain King has provided plenty so far.

题目: $250

Actually if I win the $250, I'll put some back into the site (that is run a few "free membership" tournaments) :-)

.... but then again, I'm not the best chess / Gothic Chess player so don't expect me to win.... (but I will be doing a lot of game studing!) :-)

29. 五月 2003, 14:53:38

Good luck Fencer! I hope you win.

Thanks for clarifying. :)

29. 五月 2003, 14:52:03

Just to make sure that everybody understand, as Kevin pointed out, the $250 award is not sponzored by BrainKing.com, it will be paid by Ed Trice himself. So it could go "back to the site" only if I win the tournament ;-)

29. 五月 2003, 14:40:33

题目: Re:

Buckwheat, I have no idea, nor do I care what your W/L record is. You make a good point that the $250 should go back into the site, but you also mention that it's not a huge amount of money (to some people, or, say, compared to buying a new server). Besides, the chess tournament is just a fun thing to do, so why criticize it?

Too bad you have trouble accessing the site sometimes. Why not try a little constructive action, like sending money (of which you obviously have a great abundance).

I know I didnt agree with Dmitri as to how many unpaid members are crying cheapskates, and thats irrevelent now, but the point he made is true concerning some and buckwheat is a prime example.

29. 五月 2003, 11:48:34

Buckwheat, one final time. The problem is being addressed and will be sorted soon. Posting numerous messages complaining will not get it fixed any faster and will only slow Fencer down because he has to read your posts before he starts work. If you really must gripe take it to the general chat board where we can tell you in detail why you shouldn't complain so much.
This board is for posts about BrainKing, "structure, features and future", not multiple posts about a bug we already know about.

I may have temporarily lost the ability to delete but I still have a 'ban' button in working order. Please dont make me use it. Sensible questions about this will be answered, complaints with attitude wont be. Thank you.

题目: buckwheat...

As you may have read other places, try running your own site. When you encounter a problem, wave your magic wand and *poof* the problem is fixed! If you get good at waving that wand, you might get a lot of problems fixed!

In case you didn't get the hint, it's really not that easy to just magically fix every problem. Especially since, as noted on Brainking.info, this connectivity problem is not the fault of Fencer nor Liquid. It is their service provider. So it certainly won't help to harp them about it when it isn't even in their control.

Secondly, posting your message with the same complaints numerous times is not going to help your cause. If people saw it the first time and nothing happened, why would something happen this time? Are your posts about "Boo hoo, the site is slow and doesn't let me in. Boo hoo" going to help the site run better?

In addition, I notice the picture of a pawn beside your name. This would imply that you are a non-paying member. Considering you are not satisfied with the site's performance (Just a guess - you certainly didn't make that obvious!), that is a good enough reason so please don't bring it up. However, being a non-paying member, you again are not helping the cause of the connectivity and speed problems. The more paying members, the faster and better hardware the site can get.

Finally, if you would notice, the site is not sponsoring the tournament. The tournament is held by GothicChessPro (Ed Trice) and such is covering the prizes. This money is not coming from the site, so please don't complain about it.

Thank you for listening, and happy gaming.

题目: Re: buckwheat

I agree with WOLF. This site runs just fine at least 95% of the time. I dont play chess but the tournament prize of 250 bucks is a lot of money for a new game site. Heck it is a lot cash for any game site. Where else can you play a tournament for some cash and prizes with no entry fee. Something like that could get the word out and encourage more people to the site and get more memberships. Afterall you have to have enough empty slots to get into the tournament.

i can see my questions fell on deft ears....they say say don't shoot the messenger but it seems like that's what happens......if you know the sites screwed up...why don't you fix it..???...instead it sounds like all you wanted to do was look at my win/loss record and try to read something into it....read what you want boys.....i won every game....and i lost every game...myself....you can play your little chess tourney and think $250 is ...oh my...what a grrreat amount of money....HaHaHa....why not spend the money on fixing the site..!!!!.....or would that be unusual behavior....seems like it would benifit more than 5000 people that way...

28. 五月 2003, 15:24:21

BBW: Ed (GothicChessPro) will monitor all tournament games and I am sure that he will recognize any unusual behavior :-)

Question for Fencer: Do you try to keep track of people who make multiply accounts and try to cheat?

I mean for the most part, it probable isn't a big deal - but with a $250 Gothic Chess tournament, I would guess there would be at least a couple of people who try to make 2-3-more? accounts to give them more of a chance to win.

Anyway, I was just wondering if you were watching for this or not - I don't know of anyone off hand, but I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't at least a couple of people who will try this.....

no problem, harley. I find it quite amusing, and even moreso with your explanation! I'll have to make sure I read DK's messages more thoroughly before I go willynilly and agree with him ever again!

28. 五月 2003, 08:53:42

Fencer, I haven't deleted anything in months, and I only tried last night because Blaze requested I delete her message! Typical isn't it, you dont do it for ages and when you do it messes up! But no, I wont delete anything. :o)

Pipilo, I'm sorry :o(
I assumed only one message has gone, but yes, I DO remember your message about agreeing with Dmitri, and TT agreeing too, no WONDER the system has messed up with you lot agreeing on something!! LOL!

Buckwheat, they problem is being addressed. As has been pointed out, Fencer is an extremely busy man, trying to run this site and juggle a lot of other things too.
These problems WILL be fixed, we just have to be patient. I think you'll agree its worth the wait?

28. 五月 2003, 08:45:00

harley: Please don't delete anything until I'll find out what is wrong :-) If there is something that really must be deleted, just let me know and I will do it manually in the database.

题目: Re:

harley, you crazy moderator you...I think you deleted my response to Dmitri too! I remember saying something about how I agreed with Dmitri AND with TTJazz, (yes, I know, it's shocking) and wondering if this rare occurrence might have something to do with the fact that we're approaching our second new moon of the month (is that the opposite of a blue moon?). I'm an addict too, so I understand Dmitri completely... this time, anyway. LOL

If that's a problem, you can always highlight the whole of the text you typed and hit "Ctrl-C" before you hit send. Then, even if it does freeze or stop working, you just hit "Ctrl-V" to paste it back later (assuming you don't restart your computer).
