<< < 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 > >> 9. May 2007, 09:24:40 Is that the way you chose to prepare us for the introduction of dungeons and dragons to BK? (wink, wink) 8. May 2007, 19:24:11 I add my voice to the "agree" crowd, for a different reason: because everyone creates "all game" tourneys, there are far too many. Either people set the minimum number of participants too high, and they never start for lack of participants, or they set it low and we have a zillion "tourneys" with 4 participants, which is not much fun. One may hope that "official" tournaments, if not run too often, may solve this problem. 5. May 2007, 17:38:29 Subject: Fencer - did you forget to pay your taxes? I clicked on the cluster map and got couldn't connect to the mysql server the database is over-loaded at the moment, please try again later http://BrainKing.info is not a ClustrMaps (reg or +) user 1. April 2007, 08:49:40 Subject: Re: Tulip: This is Fencer's April fools joke. you're awarded 1 action point on every click on "remove" which won't work. A secret generator is activated: if you succeed in removing the message (will happen if you can click faster than 2 times per second for more than a minute) you'll be awarded an extra 100 action points! 29. March 2007, 16:57:25 Subject: oops sorry it does wrap, but a little too far to the right. 29. March 2007, 16:55:47 Subject: Re: I know it's not the biggest of deals but it is annoying and it would be nice... Jules: in tower it's worse: the title doesn't wrap and sort of melts into the brown of the right casle :) 20. March 2007, 20:43:21 Subject: Re: pests as ads Hrqls: That's the pest I was complaining about which started this thread. 19. March 2007, 09:16:01 Subject: Re: pests as ads Fencer: yes, but only once. If the browser stays open, the next click on the GameList bookmark takes you to your page, not the guest page. 19. March 2007, 09:00:55 Subject: Re: pests as ads Fencer: That's why I have as a bookmark GameList, not BrainKing. What do I need the login page for, if I can just as well log in from the guestmode GameList page? At home I do what I want, I leave a tab permanently on BK. at work (OK, OK, I know) I just take a peek from time to time, then kill the tab. so a bookmark is useful. 19. March 2007, 08:40:44 Subject: Re: pests as ads Fencer: I don't think so. when, for example, while reading this forum, I click on http://brainking.com , it takes me to the login page, not the GameList page. 19. March 2007, 08:33:38 Subject: Re: pests as ads Fencer: I have the GameList page as bookmark, because the Brainking page asks every time for the password (even if it's only one click with password memorized), even if the browser stays open. The GameList bookmark does not. 19. March 2007, 08:24:47 Subject: Re: pests as ads Fencer: you're right. It's not the login page. my bookmark points to the GameList page, and since I'm not yet logged in to the session, I'm in guest mode, with the login prompt on top. It's there where I have a banner, and sometimes the pest. This ad takes over the whole browser so I can't log in, maximises the browser to more than the screen size (a nice gimmick) and adds a popup that firefox doesn't catch and that comes back when you first kill it. All in all, not the best publicity for brainking! 18. March 2007, 17:35:40 Subject: pests as ads We all know that Brainking is not a charity operation, it has to make a living. So we get banners and other stuff, et least as long as we don't log in as rooks. Fine by me. but every once in a while I get as on my login page A major pain in the neck called DriveCleaner which invites me to install some stupid thing on my computer or else. Fencer, can you PLEASE get rid of at least this sponsor? This is just one step short of directly installing a voluntary virus on your machine. See, for example, This link. 24. February 2007, 13:38:39 search me. I tried it for a while, but decided that looking at ads was too high a price. 24. February 2007, 11:42:05 Subject: Re: Ads joshi tm: and what use are action points to a black rook anyway? 1. February 2007, 07:54:43 Subject: February action Does this also mean that if I'm one of the early 10 and purchase a black rook membership I get a second life for free? this is starting to sound Mefistophelian. Where do I send my blood signature?  30. January 2007, 15:27:35 Subject: Re: Czuch Czuckers: and now you're using 4-letter words. work. shame on you! 5. January 2007, 13:18:58 Subject: Re: Fencer: are you kidding? some of my opponents manage to use a time warp already. That's the only explanation I find as to why they never time out. And you haven't even programmed it! 5. January 2007, 12:08:58 If you want something really exotic, you could implement those games on a torus, a Moebius strip or a Klein bottle. A lot of fun for Fencer, first to program it (perhaps not too difficult), then to explain the rules (next to impossible)  1. January 2007, 11:42:05 Subject: Re: Vacation joshi tm: hey, let the man wake up from his hangover :) 16. December 2006, 18:46:46 Subject: Re: LUDO "Snoopy": just by curiosity: with 6746 started games (wow), how did you ever manage to notice that 2 of them aren't moving? 16. December 2006, 18:40:35 Subject: Re: LUDO "Snoopy": and seeing that you are a black rook those games are with you for life. I always knew the black rook thing must have a dark side to it  8. December 2006, 07:48:59 Subject: Re: WellyWales: then why does she look like a horse with a broken eggshell on it's head? 30. November 2006, 12:03:13 Subject: Re: Bishops and vacations pauloaguia: hey, wait a minute. This sounds like an excellent deal. It means that I have to pay just 24€ for a year's worth of membership and in return I can do nothing at all, never make a move in the whole year! no need even to log on! Euh... come to think of it... can't I do the same without sending the 24€ ? 16. November 2006, 07:30:49 the characters were kind of smaller, though 7. October 2006, 18:57:28 Subject: Re: Tuesday: it's nothing, just Fencer scanning brainking usage. don't worry about it, you'll get the bill in your mail later. 6. September 2006, 09:57:03 Subject: Re: bouncybouncy: so why bother with this dinosaur? 18. August 2006, 12:39:41 Subject: Re: WatfordFC: so play, it says it's your turn  6. August 2006, 19:27:24 Subject: Re: Player list... LionsLair: Just to modify a bit the "useless" (not really useless) info, this is August, and the number of players preferring to grill a bit in the sunshine instead of hacking at a keyboard may not be negligible. 3. August 2006, 21:46:21 are you kidding? they're all too busy clicking and whistling 3. August 2006, 17:20:30 Subject: Re: Hrqls:  pssst.... it's easy. go to Fencers profile, make his pic appear, then control shift click on the lower left corner of the image while whistling the czech national anthem. Try it, you'll see!26. July 2006, 15:39:43 Subject: Re: Chaosu: actually spamming Fencer may be a good idea. It may prompt him to action - an anti-spam module for the Message box and some of the DBs would be a real plus for the site (  at Fencer)18. May 2006, 13:40:29 Subject: Re: rabbitoid: doesn't matter. 98 more messages and it'll go away.
does someone want to take up the rest? Ive got to get back to work 18. May 2006, 13:39:45 Subject: Re: hexkid: doesn't matter. 99 more messages and it'll go away. 2. April 2006, 20:50:52 Subject: Re: I know this is TerryS: ask when, not where. when was April 1st. ring a bell? 8. February 2006, 20:58:38 Subject: Re: Multi-game matches alanback: further question: if I resign, I lose how many points? say the cube is still on 1, but I don't have any stones out yet. If I resign do I lose a gammon? I hope so, otherwise it's too easy to avoid a gammon. 5. February 2006, 17:36:30 Subject: Re: Brains - 30% Fencer: That, I always knew! 8. December 2005, 07:13:37 Subject: Re: Interviews harley: one question I wanted to ask, but you: how do you pick your victims?  21. September 2005, 20:34:25 Subject: Re: Pedro Martínez: capture you and the other maharajah 20. August 2005, 09:51:23 Subject: Re: Fencer: thanks. I really misunderstood it, then. 20. August 2005, 09:28:33 Subject: Re: Fencer: I agree, but we have already played for 5 days, we have used up time, no? or does the counter reset itself each time an increment is added, until it reaches the max value? 20. August 2005, 09:09:57 Subject: Re: Fencer: No, the main page shows "14 days 23 hours" too. 20. August 2005, 08:59:44 Modified by rabbitoid (20. August 2005, 09:00:33) I may be a bit dim, but could someone please explain again the functionning of the Fischer clock?
Example: I have a game that started 5 days ago, with setting "Time: 7 days, Bonus: 1 day, Limit: 15 days, no days off". We are now at move 17, which means that the "time left" climbed slowly up to the 15 day limit, and that's where it is now, 5 days into the game: both players have 15 days "time left". But is that the way it was supposed to be? if the max "time left" is 15, shouldn't it read now 15days minus the time we have been using so far? 28. June 2005, 06:53:09 Subject: Re: French DB Eriisa: no, I pointed out that there is one, now  28. June 2005, 06:27:35 Subject: French DB Just one short message in French. I know, I know,  ...
Le nouveau forum de discussion BrainKing.com en Français est ici. 16. May 2005, 13:11:01 Subject: Re: All these negative days Walter Montego: I bet on a date1 - date2 where date1 is sometimes uninitialized. Takers, anyone? 13. May 2005, 06:33:43 Subject: -12915 days is 1 January 1970, which is traditionally day 0 on all unix based systems. Fencer! you're caught! you're not using windows. good boy... 16. April 2005, 16:40:19 Subject: Re: Fencer: why not add a little reminder in font size 24 on the login page? save you a lot of email << < 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 > >> |
