Nice works: If it is not Pond related, or if it is a personal dispute, no you should not ask it here. Thank you.

Peach Wine: still waiting for you to explain peachy? Should I ask the full question here?

Hey peachy you didn't answer my question? Is there a problem?

Peach Wine:
At the top where it says your move. That's where you place your bid

THERE IS NO LINK TO A POND WHERE I AM SUPPOSED TO PLAY MY POINTS AT? ANYBODY GIVE ME A CLUE HOW TO GET TO THE STARTING POINT LINK?

Fencer: yep. many thanks :-)

TAROU: is it better now?

TAROU:

Guess we have to wait for Fencer to fix or explain why they are not working

the ponds overflow one after another!!

There are a few that only need 3 or 4 more players

Some ponds only need a few more to start

furbster:
Only need one more now

Run Fastest

3 more needed for the super fast pond

alexlee: I don't play them much anymore, but I signed up for a bunch

Need a few more members to sign up for some ponds

Filling up 16 players isn't what it used to be...
Maybe it's about time. I'm getting fed up too.

to Heluvagi for winning the pond!

200 person pond

fish in a small ponds?
or a tiger among dogs?

Going into 2-week mode for my ponds.

Vikings: or if it hasn't started yet then go to the pond (on the "ponds" page) and click "leave the run".

or.... give it a try. Who knows? you may find you like it.

ZZ_Topp2013: Don't make a bid and you will drop out in the first round

I ask to withdraw/resign from this pond. I've never participated in one before.

Crescent City: A description is here : http://brainking.com/en/OldFAQ?ht=21

There isn't much to see, by looking at a current game. (It's not a game with an actual board)

What kind of game is this? Can I see an example?

200 person pond

see if we can get 200 runners, only one person has the achievement for winning a pond this big

Sign up for ponds is becoming sluggish as it does every year. Going into 2-week mode.

I want to investigate it a little further first, then I'll probably talk about it in Ponds Plus

Vikings: anything specific? no need for names, but a pond link is permitted

someone is colluding for ratings

and this pond will start
Rain Man

Vikings:
Then I shall rejoin and see what you have been up to

alexlee: yep, it's good to be the king

Vikings:
Did not know you were the boss in that club again!

I'm getting geared up again, there are 3 new ponds to sign up for if anyone is interested

PONDS PLUS

WellyWales: once a day

Anyone know how often the pond table is updated? http://brainking.com/en/Ratings?tp=1000&bms=0

I've gone back to a pond per week.

Let's not forget Mega-mass pond, 100 players : only 4 more players are needed!

http://brainking.com/en/Pond

WellyWales: It's not a fixed score, it depends on your BKR at the time.
When your BKR is low, even a relatively bad place in a pond can gain you points.
When your BKR is high even a first place may not raise it much higher.
The only way to see who gained what is to store the pond just before and after the last bet and compare. In ponds this is easy since you know in advance when the pond will end. (well, more or less, since there can be multiple falls in a turn and server time freezes)
And by the way, the whole BKR system is of questionable value for ponds.

Vikings: Sorry! I meant what the first person scored and the second etc, when the pond has finished

The reason I asked is I got 1 point for being 4th in this pond OVER THE RAINBOW Blonde
and 16 points for being 7th in this pond βaβyĢіґŁŁєs КIŦÇΉЄŊ (Run in the Dark)

I just wondered what other people score in the same ponds

The links are
http://brainking.com/en/Ratings?tp=1000

http://brainking.com/en/Ratings?tp=1001

http://brainking.com/en/Ratings?tp=1002

I can't find them in Statistics, I went to the main page, under "Your best BKR" and copied what the links point to.

WellyWales: It shows everybody's BKR except in dark ponds, unless you are talking about others change in a finished pond

Is it possible to know what other people score (BKR) in ponds as in other games ?

alexlee:

alexlee: Yup, it's a great view of the two of you swimming around down there…
