Snoopy: Right. He now shows his real nature.
Deviating other´s attention away from his own conduct here.
You know some people needs to degrade others to upgrade themselves.

tenuki: Be specific and elaborate on your own accusations or shut up.

Pedro Martínez:
Well, I will stop this nonsense right now. I don´t want to talk anymore with Pedro. PERIOD.
You know you were accused before and NOT by me!

tenuki: By Tanein.

You can't sign up for any ponds. You say you can? OK, sign up for some and post the pond here so we can see.

I was accused many times and by many people. Always by inept people who don't know how ponds are played though. YOU have now accused me of cheating. I want you to provide more information. Where did I cheat?

tenuki: Editing your own post so nobody can see you were wrong? :) OK, it doesn't surprise me at all.

Pedro Martínez: its not surprising Pedro.
No need to fight anymore, it is obvious he was cheating, he is now banned, the right outcome has been achieved.
It is funny how some people defend an obvious cheat just so they can feel important LOL

paully: I’ve spent the last hour reading all the posts on this subject with a growing sadness.

Pedestrian- Regarding your post that you don’t like it here anymore and you’re finished. Don’t forget the vast majority of members just play their games, don’t take them too seriously and never make a post. Don’t let the vitriol of a small minority disillusion you.

I like to think Fencer’s remarked were written in haste and he regrets them. It is a shame he didn’t issue a quick apology rather than letting things run.

Paully, it’s funny how two people can read something so completely different. I’ve never played either Pedro or Tenuki but Tenuki’s ratings over a large number of games speak for themselves. While Pedro clearly things Tenuki has cheated it is also clear to me that much of this is personal and rather unpleasant.

Justaminute: thank you at last someone sees it for what it really was personal

has for your post Paully read the rules on ponds and see why i was sticking up for Tenuki nothing to do with being important

Please sign up -> 20 :P Ratp , 20 :P Ritd , 20 :P Ritr (Ponds with 2 days per move)

aaru: That's more than 6 weeks away. Don't worry, they'll fill up :)

rabbitoid: Yes, I know. Would be nice to be back with 100 players Ponds ;)

aaru: not unless pawns are allowed in, at least on a limited basis ( again at Fencer)

I think it'd be good if pawns can play, not really sure why they can't!

aaru: sorry not playing ponds any more
to much of a farce to be real

furbster: originally it was a perk for paying members but I think Fencer has plans to let pawns play (at least on a limited basis) when BK3.0 comes out

Vikings: heres me holding my breath!

Bwild: You know what happens when you hold your breath too long...

Vikings: If pawns are allowed in ponds, the rules need to be clarified. For instance, there's nothing in the pond rules about people coordinating their moves and/or playing together as a team. It would be quite easy to have a few friends sign up as pawns and make helpful moves. And only those who follow this board closely have any idea whether this is allowed or not. 

pedestrian: hmmm. Are you saying that I could create a pond, create 15 multinics and win the pond with about 100,000 points left.

But I couldn't do that because I would have to ban myself

pedestrian: If pawns are allowed in ponds, the rules need to be clarified. For instance, there's nothing in the pond rules about people coordinating their moves and/or playing together as a team.

There is no need to do that. The general rules of the User Agreement clearly prohibit such conduct.

Pedro Martínez: I'm sure the user agreement is posted somewhere, but I can't find it. Maybe it's just me, be I think it's best if the rules are made as obvious as possible.

pedestrian: There's a link at the bottom of EVERY page.

pedestrian:
The part of the rules Pedro is refering to are the following:

Each individual who plays on BrainKing is asked to use one, and only one, BrainKing account. Multiple accounts created for cheating in tournaments, games, ratings, or to get around bans on boards are prohibited.

NO CHEATING. This includes using outside programs to help play and *losing on purpose for the goal of boosting ratings.* Your account may be banned, and ratings will be removed.

alexlee: Thanks rod03801 and alexlee, I found it.

aaru: Half of em would prolly be multinicks

Please sign up -> 20 :P Ratp , 20 :P Ritd , 20 :P Ritr (Ponds with 2 days per move)

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

At least not with those I've been setting up.

rabbitoid:
I only remember one other one but I don't believe it was yours, it was very long ago. Must be a way to find any, they would have no winner listed?

Darn... Splash...

alexlee: It took me a while to work out what was interesting, but yes, very unusual!

Resher: bravo lubinek! move 20 was well calculated.

anyone having trouble with making pond moves?
I sent an inquiry to our illustrious leader....but he must be busy with bk27.9

Bwild: I do, lately every time I move I get this "Splash" message

rabbitoid: lol....seriously though...I have a pond I cant move in

duh.....cant move with 0 points...my bad

since there are a ton of ponds all filled up, but they will start in 15.30...60 days... i created some new ones that are ready to start in the next days.
2days per move, 16 players max


do something unusual today - signup for a pond
the answer is floating on the pond
the ponds they are a changing
once apond a time in america

and one with 4 days per move:
vandelay industries!

saeco: since there are a ton of ponds all filled up

Really?

Pedro Martínez: I had mine start twice weekly, but after a while people stopped signing up. A pond a week seems to be a good compromise.

rabbitoid: Yup, agreed… I would just like saeco to show me where those filled-up ponds are…

Pedro Martínez: me too. Mega-mass pond, 100 players has been waiting for 6 months for 20 more players to start :)

well, there are ponds that'll start in 96 days with >30 players... and most that will start within the next month have enough to start... and i didnt have a brain rook for a while so i'm not in the loop and trying to get more ponds started ;)

If a member changes to a pawn can they now continue to play if they were already in a pond? If so when did this start and was it posted anywhere? Seems like if a rule changes it should have been posted but if it was I can not find where?

alexlee: when they change to a pawn, they are not automatically out of the game, rather their last bid will carry on until they fall, or win.

Vikings:

Pawn continued to bid in these three?

A WHAM BAMS (Run in the Rain)
A WHAM BAMS (Run around the Pond)

Today is the first day of the rest of the mess.

alexlee: I think she just turned pawn after her last bid, I just noticed her today in 2 of those

Vikings:
I am sure in this one Today is the first day of the rest of the mess.
she was a pawn when her last bid was 1220. Next time she had a bid of 1500. I'll just continue to watch for now. I don't suppose there is any way to tell what day someone turned into a pawn?
