Binabik: I've been having the same problem for the past 2 days.
I can't even get the brainking.com page to load. The only way I can get on here is to go to Brain Rook and link from there

alexSandra: I've been having problems like that for almost 2 weeks I think. Very slow to move, getting the "unable to connect" message daily. It's happening to folks in the US and Europe.

alexSandra: It's also been slow for me today - haven't been booted from the site, but have had a few times where the page would not load, but a refresh and a little longer then normal wait brings the page around.

It hasnt been so much slowness, jsut getting booted left right and centre lol

alexSandra:I have been having the same problems all day!

Does anyone else find this site SLOW? I am way behind on my games because it takes so long for a game to load, make a play, and go to the next one.

It can't be my broadband as all other sites I visit regularly are fine.

Perhaps it is the times I am online (6-9 pm GMT) which is doing it but it is VERY frustrating.

I am resigning from as many games as possible, if it looks like I won't win, just to get my game list down :(

Jason: Ok, thanks for letting me know

solan109: yes you have an option to see them or not when you are a paying member .

will it go away when you become a member ?!

mybirthdaysoon:    been there mysef  :)

Czuch Czuckers: don't you mean "Yahtze"!!.. :)

Gr☺uch☺: oops, oh yeah, sorry im tired, its to late here lmao

Czuch Czuckers:  No Czuch, dice poker.   Pay attention 

lovelysharon: Bingo!!!!

danheg: a small straight uses 4 of the 5 die while a long straight uses all 5

mybirthdaysoon:  besides you can't get a 7 or 8  ;)

mybirthdaysoon:  small is 1 2 3 4 or 2 3 4 5 or 3 4 5 6 and long is 1 2 3 4 5 or 2 3 4 5 6  ;)  Maybe?

danheg: small is 1,2 ,3,4 and long is 5,6,7,8 i think

Czuch Czuckers: What is the difference between small and large straight?

well, I was playing for awhile like we could only roll the dice twice in the whole game, not every single turn!!! LOL


I think it might make a nice variant to play it with only 2 or 3 rolls for the whole game, makes for some interesting choices!

lovelysharon:Yes! thanks, I think I have got it now...

WellyWales: 3 of a kind , 4 of a kind and chance are total of all the dice..

ellieoop: It includes the dead dice then, OK thanks that must be it...

then the 5th dice had to be a 2, and you put the amt in 4 of a kind. if you had put it under 6s, it would have scored 24. if not, then somethings wrong:)

rod03801: Yes! I know the rules will be later, but I got 26 for four sixes......is that correct ??

WellyWales: The rules should be coming soon..

1's through 6's : the total of these particular dice in your "hand"

3 of a kind: total of dice in your hand
4 of a kind: total of dice in your hand
Full House : 25 points
Small Straight: 30 points
Large Straight: 40 points
5 of a kind: 50 points
Chance: total of dice in your hand

I think I got that right!

What is the scoring for Dice Poker please

mybirthdaysoon: Thank you.

Gordon Shumway:It was the same for me. but it was soon corrected

Gordon Shumway: It was fine for me this morning, redirected  without a problem

What was up with brainking.info today? When I clicked the "more"-link under the excerpt of the blog entry, it opened up a new window showing brainking.info - But it seemed to be redirected or something like that: screenshot. After two minutes, everything was just fine again, and the ususal blog appeared. Was this something that affected only me? Some weird DNS-error, or has brainking.info been attacked?

Czuch Czuckers: BTW... if anyone fancies a game or two, send me the invites!

FYI... for anyone who likes Yahtzee but didn't know it yet, the Dice Poker game is Yahtzee, with a couple of variations!



While Im here, can we please have the previous move by our opponent highlighted for us, and also be able to see how many rolls our opponent has left? Thanks!

AH right, sorry, lost me abit there lol

mybirthdaysoon: It was 5 game match not a 5 win match.  He only had to win 3 of those games to win the whole match.

mybirthdaysoon: because it is a 5 game match and he already won 3

If my opponent resignd this game, how could he be the winner.

I don't know if any of you have played a game with MR KING MAN on here at all, but I would like to inform everyone that he has since passed away. He died on Thanksgiving, at rougly 4:30PM.

Andersp: Until now.

pauloaguia: My default is currently set to show the next game with the shortest amount of time left to make a move. But when I use the play later option, then that game should not be included anymore, should it?

Czuch Czuckers: That I don't know. Maybe it has something to do with how your next game is calculated (should it be of the same type and you have no more games of that type, for instance?) or on your default option when submiting a move (if your default is "go to the main page" rather than "goto next game", for instance).
But I'm just guessing now, of course. Better wait for an answer from Fencer if you can't figure it out...

pauloaguia: Okay then why , when I use the play later option, am I taken to the main screen when I have many other games waiting for a move? Also when I do go back to another game, the "play later" game doesnt pop up until after the second time?

Czuch Czuckers: There is currently one game that I am using the play later option, when I do this I am taken back to my main screen. Then that was your last game. Usually it should take you to the next game on your play list.
Shouldnt that game not pop up again until I have either gone to the main page to click it or until it is the only game left where it is my turn? Like you said, you went to the main page right after clicking the "Play Later" button. So the games on hold were reset at that point.


I was only complaining about it not being persistent for the time frame I wanted. It seems like if I don't access the site for more than 30min, the games I choose to play later are also reset, and they'll show all up again.
But even if it's just a second after, whenever you go by the main page, they're always back, that's how it's supposed to work.

I am not sure what the function of this is supposed to be, I read something the other day about it from Fencer, and it sounded like it should work better than it currently is. There is currently one game that I am using the play later option, when I do this I am taken back to my main screen. I then proceed to play the next game below this game (as it is still on the top of my list).... everything so far seems okay... then after I make my next move I am given still another game to move to next... still okay, but after that next move then the game I want to play later comes up again!!!! This is where it seems to be not okay?


Is this the way it is meant to work? Shouldnt that game not pop up again until I have either gone to the main page to click it or until it is the only game left where it is my turn?

Gabriel Almeida: i sent chuck and rose a private message
my opinion is that personal matters between persons should be handled in private messages in the first place

now before everyone starts to interfere and we get 2 groups fighting (and a 3rd group watching, and a 4th group running away ;))

lets finish this 'discussion' with this post and if anyone really wants to say something else about this please send it to me in a private message (click on the envelop next to my name)

emmett: I think this was also the situation in Holland yesterday.

Jason: catch u in a game sometime, don't follow boards that much, to much going on,lol
