MTC: since I verified my setting Before and After this posting, let me clarify. My profile page insicates "10 days - using the automatic vacation". However, the link you kindly provided, leads to a page that states "available for paying members only". So even ticking that checkbox is irrelevant as it does not apply.
The fact is, BrainKing displayed misleading information, suggesting Automatic Vacation is enforced, while in reality - it is not.
So I repeat my initial appeal: Fencer, please set my scores straight if you care for proper programming.

MTC: thank you for pointing this out to me, MTC. If I recall corectly, Fencer published somewhere that Auto Vacation is being switched on by default for everyone. Perhaps not.
Oh well.

AlliumCepa: Your profile indicates that you don’t have automatic vacation turned on, so it won’t automatically use your vacation days to prevent you timing out. You can turn it on at this settings page.

(copy-paste from my Outbox)
Hello Fencer. Many of my games (8002929, 946993, 8003349, 8003405, 8008220 and 8006693) with standard vacation were lost due to timeout. I have 10 more vacation days left. How come?

DeaD man WalkiN: Thank you for setting them up.  It's been fun!

ketchuplover: lol ... i like that ... but i guess that would scare quite some people away from a paid membership and increase the likelyhood of cheating

Thom27: Seriously, people seems to never get tired of this subject. Treating the RNG you are getting as sequential is wrong. As simple as that.
Selective memory reigns as supreme as always.

Good news:
You earned a new achievement - My three sixes
Roll 2 sixes 3 times in a row in a single game of backgammon or its variants.

Bad news:
It was Anti Backgammon

Good news:
Was on the bar and opponent had doubled up on the 6th triangle.

Just happened: In one game of triple dice poker i roll 34466. i reroll 344 and have 24466. I reroll 244 and get 34466 I enter and submit, going to the next game of the same type, and the dice are: 34466.

This is only a single case, but it is one example of many I have observed yet. More often than should happen by chance, the dice in a dice poker variant stay the same or almost the same when rerolled.

I only trust a PRNG when I have implemented it myself (but then not absolutely) or when it is based on a cryptographic method and checkable, as I have previously described here.

Gouwe gozer: no worries my friend :) take care :)

Sorry, it sounds different as I meant

Gouwe gozer: I don't think you would like my problems...but life goes on and I don't let it get to me LOL

Bernice: I wish I have 'problems' like you

OK.....I have a problem...well not really a problem....I just went to check my profile to see when I had to pay another month on my membership and found that it was paid until 2019...I am flabbergasted....Who is the beautiful person that has done this for me....I am so grateful to you...I was in hospital having an operation when you did this....THANKS SO MUCH....

i need fencer to delete a random tournie i posted in spells and magic potions fellowship...i musta messed up as it is froze and wont start or let me delete it thank you for any help

Carnie:

Sorry. I was imaging you had a scratch there but couldn't reach it until now.

Carnie:

behind the ears? :)

Things that aren't OK for https:
1) The images are in http://i.brainking.com - already mentioned in the news
2) The "logout" link leads to http://brainking.com regardless of which protocol is used
3) brainking.info - is this part of the site?
4) user input such as this post may contain http: references. Is this permitted?

Anyone else notice anything?

ketchuplover:

Thats a good one foot in mouth LOL

Carnie:

Did they work on your mouth at the same time? ;)

Aganju: 

Aganju:

Thank you Fencer!!

Aganju:

Thank you Fencer

Aganju: Exactly.
YES, thank you Fencer.

To Fencer:
Thanks for implementing this!
Not because I like GDPR (I couldn't care less about it on BK), but because you are willing to go the extra mile and implement a relevant change to keep BK running - otherwise it would have to be shut down for legal reasons in May.
And if we all remember - there is zero support guaranteed.

This could have been the end, but it isn't, so - Thanks!
