DamnCat: *nod* its a link only for translators
on the translation pages you can see a keycode for every word/text
when you see an error on as page, you can click on the keycode link so you will see the keycodes of each page, you might then find out which keycode contains the error so you can find it more easy on the translator pages

its a very useful feature, but it make the site very tough to read though ;)

btw welcome to the translators!

i deleted the spanish posts from yesterday and will detele any spanish posts on here from now on

please only post in english on this board so that all visitors to this board can read it
spanish posts can be done at spanish board: BrainKing.es

if posted in spanish, then please continue this thread on the spanish forum

if continued on here, please try to post in english, so that everyone knows whats being talked about (the english doesnt have to be perfect, as long as most people can understand :))

"Have Fun": you have 3 vacation days planned for 2007 (i can see that when i look at your profile) .. those 3 days are already substracted from your total amount of vacation days

i am not sure if they are substracted from your total of this year though .. as the planned ones are for next year

try to remove a planned vacation day (from 2007) and check if you get a spare extra vacation day to use in 2006

Buz: yes, all games in a match has to be finished first before the match is taken into account for the rating points

1 match counts as 1 entry for the rating points

1 match of (for example) 9 games counts as much as 1 match of 1 game
1 match of 9 points counts as much as 1 match of 1 point

personally i dont even know if someone is a pawn or not, i dont pay attention to it

i dont think any membership reads board differently than another membership (unless when the permissions on the board limit them :))

a pawns only board would not offer anything else beside a second general chat (i think)

another idea : if the news messages fencer posts on the main site are automagically copied as posts on the boards which pawns have in their favourites, would they then be reading them ?

MadMonkey: they cant turn off fencers news messages cant they ?
they can count that as a board with messages for them .. the only problem might be that its only available in english

BIG BAD WOLF: *nod* i agree, or we point them there
(btw i dont have chat on my favourites either, but i have this one there of course ;))

Fencer: dont forget to add the english as well though as the language specific board might not contain the same information

MadMonkey: i love the idea for the active/non-active box

it would require far less work for a captain to make sure all his team members want to play

fencer, when/if you read this, should we post it on the feature request board as well ? or pm you ? or would it require a lot of work for you ? ;)

MadMonkey: great idea!

#3 a team participating in a team stairs have to be on the team for more than 1 month

fakarten: thanks! no secret points :)
i can sleep peacefully again ;)

imsoaddicted: that only shows me the total of points for the total month .. i want to see the total points per day :)
(or at least for the 31st of october :))

how can i find out if i got any action points yesterday ?
normally i would go to my action points statistics of the current month and see my total action points per day .. i dont know how to do that for another month (yesterday was also last month :))

i mean : can i find the following page, but then for october ?
http://brainking.com/nl/Statistics?p=4&u=10865

emmett: you could take the chance and buy it now within the last 2 hours of october .. you know for sure that november will have a great action great then! one which you just have missed ;)

but other rooks-to-be would be very thankful for you ;)

joshi tm:
a teaser
a preannouncement

just to make sure we wont be able to sleep tonight .. all kinds of vivid dreams about memberships waking us up every 30 minutes :)

continue this on the computer forum please, the topic has moved away from BrianKing far enough now :)

King Reza: well said! better than i did :)

LionsLair: 4 or 5 games would be enough for me .. as long as it would provide me with some waiting moves when i logon

4 or 5 games doesnt do that for me though .. it depends on my opponents

thats why i need about 100 games .. thats what usually keeps me busy but still can be handled easy enough in my normal schedule

some people have more spare time though and might need more games .. i can imagine 600 games to be useful

then there are people who have another goal .. like being on the most moves list or action points .. they might need more games :)

it all depends on which games you play, which opponents, how much free time you have, and what your goal is :)

BIG BAD WOLF: but if i would have saved the same image as you did, and stored them in my 2 or 3 pictures, then i can still use them

so if you use a picture, i can download it, submit it to my own list, and use it as well :)

MadMonkey & Fencer: oops!!! sorry :(
tired and misclicked ... please repost mm :(

imsoaddicted: be careful though, when you resign a game in a backgammon type with doubling cube, then you will give your opponent as many points as he would have gotten when he would have played all his stones out at your position

so when you still have a stone on the bar, and you resign, then you will give your opponent a backgammon. while if you played it out it might have been a single point

BIG BAD WOLF: oops you are right ... i was mistaken by the bkr calculation (the position, the rank, not the rating :)) ... thats done once an hour

heavenlyemma: thanks :)

bouncybouncy: true .. sorry .. i just went back and saw your grinning emoticon .. thats why i added your name .. sorry, i later read the newer posts you made

(the grinning appeared as encouragement to me at that time)

crosseyed & heavenlyemma & bouncybouncy: thats enough for now ... continue this personal matters in private messages

crosseyed: the time out is checked once an hour (as you can read in an article fencer on http://www.brainking.info posted this week)

therefore, when the time for a new move is started 5 minutes after the timeout is checked, then there is 1 hour before the timeout .. but at that time there will 55 more minutes before the timeout check will be done .. giving this move 1 hour and 55 minutes for the real timeout loss

imsoaddicted: well done! quite some effort
not one which i am capable of copying, let alone beating, .. i am not determined enough .. it needs quite some concentration to it

nightmagic: off topics can be posted on general chat, or on the members only board

some off topic is allowed of course .. as long as originated from a real topic and doesnt go too far off topic and doesnt fill the whole board by itself ;)

i had problems connecting to brainking.com this morning
didnt have any problems connecting to some other sites though

the problems were away about half an hour later though

Mousetrap: i think you mean the links fencer posted in his latest news ?

you can find the news here

(if you mean other games outside of brainking, then please continue this on the computer board)

King Reza: nice! thanks :)

Fencer: *nod* maybe Reza should rename himself to Harley as well to make this page be correct as well ;)

King Reza: *blush* you're welcome ;)

onigoroshi: as a rook you can go to your settings page, there you go to the calendar tab where you can set specific vacation days

i guess pawns can do that as well ? but i am not sure :)

Brian1971& King Reza: this has little to do with the site brainking.

please take it to the appropriate board. i think no public board on a games site is meant for a discussion like this, so you might best continue this in a fellowship

(for the remembering the thoughts & prayers board seems most appropriate)

King Reza: thanks i did, but now please dont clutter this board with posts about french posts ;)

Marfitalu: if i get any i will consult with fencer to give you 40% of it .. or do you want more ? (your help was worth more, but lets bargain ;))

(in pm :))

Andersp: busy on it :)

gene: Il y a un forum pour les jouers francophones: BrainKing.fr :
http://brainking.com/nl/Board?bc=88


autre messages en francais en cette board seront efface

(or something like that: other french messages will be deleted)

nightmagic: i think thats what causes it .. pedro martinez has quite a lot of ponds won and the difference between the tournament wins on his profile and on the winners page is quite big as well :)

imsoaddicted: could be! (i guess thats it if you have exactly 1 pond win. have to check other players with more than 1 pond win to compare :))

imsoaddicted: did you win a tournament recently ? maybe the winnres page isnt updated yet ?

Nothingness: you can join tournaments which require brains
or you can collect more and buy a membership when you need it

bouncybouncy: no problems with ie for me right now

RagingSeas: there are various ways of getting action points, by making moves, by winning games, etc.
one way to earn action points is when you find the secret action, and use it

the secret action points are action points given to you when you use the secret action :)

DamnCat: maybe they changed ? fencer posted a note that the secret action can change over time

also, the secret action points might be counted with a delay, so the last action which you did when the secret points are counted doest have to be the secret action itself .. the secret action might be done further in the past

i got some secret action points on the 1st of september, but i have no clue what i did to gain them :)

Marfitalu: it would be very useful indeed, on other sites where i have been/am a mod i can move posts indeed (and have to choice to leave a shadow or not (ezboards))

it has been suggested on the feature requests several times, i hope its on fencers 'todo' list and hope it fits in the current boards system/structure

i will delete the other related posts as they are now lose ends :)

Bwild: thanks, although you didnt have to notify me on here ;)
thanks though :)

Fencer: forbidding us to do things works ;)
nice clean and clear looking site! well done :)

(although today at work it showed 'page loaded, but with errors' in the bottom of ie when i opened the page, didnt have a look at it right now)
