If they are friends, I think that they would let a game go unfinished, and in two years, start another. Two years is a long time not to be on brainking! (I'm on every day...) Between friends, one game can be let go, I think.

emmett: What if two friends start a no limit game and they agree that one of them leaves the site for 2 years and when he is back, they finish the game?

Subject: no time-outs
In response to Fencer's newest post regarding Fischer clocks and games that are set to zero so that they never time out: "If you know how to solve this small problem, please let me know."

We should set a limit on what constitutes an inactive player. If a player doesn't move in any game, for, say, nine months or a year, then we could describe them as inactive. Then, if a player has started a game with no time limit, that game should be forfeited once that player has reached the inactive point.

Same with this one... Cloning Backgammon (BIG BAD WOLF vs. Czuch Czuckers)

It looks like the problem is that I offered a draw, but I still should be able to offer a double as my turn, but it wont let me?

prettymama: Do a refresh/reload with the shift key down. This will ask the browser to fetch every image in the page from the server even if it has them in the cache (memory or disk).
A simple refresh/reload will only get the text, and if the images are incorrectly stored in the cache, they will remain incorrect.

Subject: global IPs
Regarding Fencer's latest posting (on Brainking.info), concerning players from around the world...
It would be interesting to see accurate statistics on where players are actually playing from. Some players say they are from countries that they are actually not from (I always get my hopes up when a player says they are from Tibet). It would be nice, since Fencer is able to, to see one set of accurate statistics showing how many players actually play from their own countries. I know how time-consuming that would be I guess...

another question... if I time out of a game, will the whole 21 point match be gone?

Czuch Czuckers: i dont see your problem resign the first game and when it comes into your message box go to next game of this match and keep resigning them that way
it will of course mean resigning it 7 times to lose 21 points

At least, shouldnt there be some way to resign the games in one turn each? As it is cirrently, I only lose 3 points to resign a game. At that rate it can take me a couple of months just to resign my way out of the tournament!


offer a double then resign when it is accepted. or if the other side is amenable.  they can also offer you adouble afterwards then you can accept it and your out in one game

joshi tm: I signed up for this 21 point per game tournament when the rules allowed for the potential to get 21 or more points in one game. Once the rules of this game changed, the tournament should have been deleted and the started over. Its not fair when the parameters of the game change after someone signs up for it!

I want to get out of this tournament without losing my BKR for this game. Please fencer help me!?!?!?!?!

Pbarb2: You can't "delete" boards - but you can do what you said (change name of board to "." - so most will not find it.

To delete all messages, either click delete on all messages, Ask Fencer to do it for you, or probable the best - click "Edit" and change the read access to "Brain King" - that way not even you can see the messages in the board (so it looks like everything is gone)

Then just post in the description of the board "This board is closed." or something like that.

Getting rid of fellowship Board.
Go into the edit for that board and change the name to a period, then change who can read and post to king, all that will be left is a " . " that most people will never find and if they do they cannot go to the page anyway, but you know it is there in case you want to start it up again someday
I saved this in my notebook. I don't know where I got it.
I want to get rid of two boards and the messages. Where do you put king if that is what we are to do? On that part on who can read the board it has choices..no place to write anything.
Thanks for any help.

Rose: Close enough. Except that it's not the act of posting that counts but the act of opening the board page. You don't even have to post to be counted as a visitor, just open that page.
So, if someone posts a post just before midnight (server time), and then 100 people go there to read it the next day, it may become one of the most popular boards, even if no messages are posted for that whole day...
