Would somebody please translate what this person said to me during a game???
"je veux voir ton pénis"
Whatever it is doesnt look like a compliment,LOL

Bernice:

ok i was weak .. should not have continued this off topic subject

will stop now :)

the question about japajka's language has been answered :)

Hrqls: I would rather use Pedro fpr sumpin else hehehe

Pedro Martínez: yes ? and whats the problem with that ? it seems perfectly fine by me :)

DeaD man WalkiN : you could also use Pedro Martinez as translator :)

Hrqls: I have just used that one to translate DeaD man WalkiN's sentence (Dang my translator does not have Czech. And I don't think Russian is not the same.) and it spat this out: "Nebezpečí má překladatel does ne mít Čech. A JÁ don't cenit Rus is ne člen určitý týž."
Translated back into English (this time by me), it means "Danger has translator does no to have a Czech. And I don't appraise the Russian citizen is no certain member the same." Now go figure.

DeaD man WalkiN: :) dont let them hear that :)

have a look at : http://www.translation-guide.com/free_online_translators.php?from=English&to=Czech

Dang my translator does not have Czech. And I don't think Russian is not the same.

DeaD man WalkiN: he uses the czech flag .. so i think thats his language

what language does japajka speak?
Don't know if this is the right place for this. But I just can't find out by look a profiles. I just would like to use my translator so I can talk to them.

MadMonkey:    Slowest by test    :-)

Pedro Martínez: This is what happens when P-e4 is played

Pedro Martínez: good lord...thats worse than the one I found ROFL...........

Pedro Martínez: Wow.  Looks like time controls were not used.

Bernice: How can a game go for 4 years and only 2 moves made?

Šachy (Harassed vs. lukulus)

how can a game go for over 12 months and no moves made?

El Cid: & SL-Mark: Oh wow, that was easy.

Thank you both very much.

alilsassy: And if that doesn't work, just click it again to go from descending to ascending order

alilsassy: Just click on the "time left" column, on your main page

Can someone explain to me how I can get all my games with the least amount of time to play(til time out) to show up at the top of my game list on my main page?

El Cid: Well, then don't play games with a less than 1 day/move, or accumulate a bigger buffer (if playing with a Fisher Clock).

El Cid: You got the problem of clocked games.. can be a bind if they are short ones.

AbigailII: I think 12 to 15 hours would be a more reasonable time period, since if you happen to live on a time zone, where those 12/15 hours would be all of the time that you were awaken, that would be a complete un-playable day (plus 6 to 8 hours of sleep, before and after that 15 hour period)

Snoopy: lol It's a simple thing to set your games time wise, saves so much bother!!

(V): it didnt bother me last time just wanted to make sure..lol

Snoopy: Only if they don't do their turns

Fencer when the time outs start back up
will it be like last time and ppl get a ton of games with the exactly the same timeout?

DAMN....cant even log in for hours this AM...
the following was what I got so sent a report LOL

.Safari can’t open the page “http://brainking.com/en/GameList”. The error was: “unknown error” (CFURLErrorDomain:302) Please choose Report Bugs to Apple from the Help menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.

Fencer: Working fine this morning (PDT)

Fencer: okie dokie
no problems to me i soon catch up
i just didnt want the problem of having tons of games with exactly the same timeout again

If someone still thinks that BrainKing is slow for them, please send me a private message with your traceroute output. On Windows, open the command line (Start / Run ... / cmd), type "tracert brainking.com", copy and paste the output and send it to me. I will pass it to ISP, so they can analyze it and find out which of their routers is malfunctioning (if they didn't fix it yet).

Fencer: Thank you. Question though, since the tournament was created with no additional days to wait till a minimum number of players has signed up, how come the tournaments for 2 of the games have been postponed? Some (unintended?) side effect of people not having enough tournament slots signed on? It doesn't really matter to me that it happens, it just surprises me.

AbigailII: Good idea. I will add it to the User Agreement for the new BrainKing version.

Fencer: I don't think I would have joined if BK only had games without timeouts - games wouldn't finish then, would they?

Anyway, I would be perfectly happy if you said "if you have a tendency to move close to your clock running out, do so at your own risk. If you lose a game because the site was inaccessable, too bad. Use longer times/move, move earlier, or don't complain. Except for excessive downtime, clocks will not be stopped". If I were in charge, I wouldn't 'stop time', unless the site was unusable/down/unreachable for at least 24 hours.

southafrikanse: Yes, that's how the web works. I've just made a connection speed test again and all tested nodes (about 60) are showing less than 1 second response time, except 3 or 4 anomalies.

By the way, something strange might be going on in Dallas (Texas, USA). The test includes two nodes in this location. One of them shows 0.89 seconds and the other one 10.17 seconds. Quite a big difference, huh? I would not be surprised if they have routing problems as well.

Snoopy: Since no serious problems have been detected today, there is no need to stop the time.
However, this timeout system is starting to bother me and I would like to find a better global solution. Sometimes I regret that I ever created a site with timeouts. If I could start it over today, I would not do it again.

AbigailII: It is started now.

This tournament should have started at midnight, but it didn't. It's listed at -9h30m on the tournament page.

Well, I don't know about you guys but here in Portugal the site load is back to normal :D

Fencer: are timeouts going to be suspended until its sorted?

Hello folks,

I have good news and bad news. The good news is that if you experience a speed problem, it is not caused by BrainKing and not even by you. The site itself is fast as always and the servers show no unusual behavior.

I've made some tests that prove that the problem is in the network, most likely in some nodes of our ISP. When I check the line speed from different parts of the world, it is very variable - from 0.4 (very good) to 4 (slow) seconds. It is usually caused by a packet loss - some data are not fully delivered to your browser, so they are automatically send again etc., which results to a delay.

There is not much we can do about it, except asking the ISP to do something about (which is what we are doing). Anyway, even if BrainKing is probably a little problematic to use for some people, it is still working and usable, although it may take a longer time. I am continuously monitoring the average activity of BrainKing users and it is not as bad as it might look at the first glance.

By the way, the upcoming version of BrainKing will count with such situations and solve them by reducing the amount of transferred data to the least possible minimum. Our implementation of Texas Hold'em Poker is a good example.

still damn slow here and no comment or enlightenment from YKW.

I am only playing games that are just about due to time out as it is taking TOOOOOO much time to load.....very exasperating

Fencer: No mention of the clock being stopped, in fact no mention on anything

Doris: its taken me over 1 hour to make 30 moves

alilsassy: It is extremely slow in Georgia also......I usually never have this problem. Hope it will be back up to par tomorrow...:} This is such a good site and fun to be on.....but when it gets this slow for this long ..... it becomes irritating.

The site seems to be working much faster now....thanks Fencer

wyoming and tennesee and maybe others this site has been extremely slow last two days........some sites mess up after playing too

Rose: i'm not and haven't had any problems, just curious, is it location? i hope i didn't jinx myself.

slower n molasses going up hill in January...

no problem loading any other site.... just here. *shrug*
