rod03801: Thanks Rod

What are your feelings on BAD CONDUCT While playing in said TOURNAMENTS where PRIZES are offered or on TOURMAMENT BOARD.Should a PLAYER be removed from winning that prize offered.Not the tournament just the PRIZE

Yes, if the round is only 1 section, the tie is not broken. If an advanced round is created with just 2 people, it is a 3 win match. And if an advanced round is created with 3 or more people, it is a regular round.

Bry: Thanks again Bry

THE HIT MAN: not 100% sure, but i think if only 2 players make it to the final round, it is a 3 wins match. if more than 2 players make it to the final round, more than one player can win, and if there is a draw, they both win and those two do not then go into a 3 match game.

I recall this being discussed on BK.Com I think if you check through the thread.

If i'm wrong, please can someone else confirm. Cheers.

Bry:Thanks Bry

Also i have noticed tournaments wins Sometimes there are more than 1 winner in a game,Others there is another play off section.Who controls these happnings

THE HIT MAN: do you mean when someone wins a tournament you have created? if so, an automatic message is created and sent to the winner and the creator of the tournament, which are sent from "Fencers" outbox.

huh?

Who sends tournament WINS to players that win games in your TOURNAMENTS

Jules: Thank you Jules... :)

Congratulations to Andre Faria for winning Pond Life

THE HIT MAN: Rod was trying to help

rod03801: None now Rod Thanks for your concern.HAVE A GREAT DAY

Ok, I'll try one more time... What Major problems with BK are you experiencing?

rod03801: HA HA lol I'am a little crazy But not MAD As far as my attitude its very positive Thank You. I understand you very well.But why are you not understanding me..he he lol

LOL.. I'm not understanding your attitude, at all. I am a member of Brainking's customer service team. You mentioned "Major problems with BK", I asked what problem you have.
I'm not sure what you aren't understanding, and getting mad about.

rod03801: Umm Customer Service ? What are you selling

Um, you posted on a public board. One where anyone can respond. I am not experiencing any "major problems with BK", I am also a member of customer service, so it certainly isn't out of line for me to ask what you are talking about.

rod03801: I don't think it concerns you Rod.Moderator your own board as fast.

Major problems with BK?

Due to magor problems with BK which has been going on for awhile.I am canceling all my up coming Tournaments.They will all be restarted.

i don't think you can andersp, im guessing they've been removd from tourneys upcoming!

I didnt know that you can remove people after a tournament has started. Seems as a very strange behaviour to me.
Wondering if Pedro ever will get an answer about who is prolonging?

EdTrice: Thanks, Ed. Feel free to correct any of my mistakes by PM. Of course, except obvious typos But beware, don't even try to write in my native language So far it's enough for me when I am able to write quite fast and most people don't have problems with understanding me. BTW, why "an" FYI? "F" doesnt look like a vowel for me, so I would expect "a". To be honest I didn't know abbreviations use articles ("a, an, the") Though sure OT again, may be there is some language purists board also

fungame: ...But it's strongly unpolite...

Just as an FYI, the word is impolite. Another one of those weird English words that does not fit the standard mold.

Discussing, questioning, and personal opinions on topics related to tournaments, I have no problems with. When the posts contain name calling and are personally attacking individuals it becomes off topic and they don't belong on the public boards, at least in my opinion.

NOT a floosie: How is it off-topic? *shrugs*

Ok guys, let's keep it nice please.

Yes, thanks for the compliment, too. Nice to be in group of gods But now you missed you offended all those who were allowed to stay there further. What about sending them some rude PM, too; "Welcome to the club of average people. I consider you stupid enough, so you are free to play in my tournament" (don't forget the CAPS key)

THE HIT MAN: BTW, I would like to let you know that it's your turn in 226 games, while I'm up to move in 171 games...plus, why don't you move in the games the two of us are playing together?....now who's prolonging what?

THE HIT MAN:

We all have problems of some kind.I have installed 4 new windows in my computer to keep all my games active.You have been a memeber here for a year and half.By what is said on your profile and your record.You seem to like winning more then losing.

I have no idea whatsoever why are you saying this.

I will not stand by and let ppl like this drag on games and prolong games for everone else in any of my Tournaments

People like this? Wake up, man!!! With this attitude, you're not going to gather many people for your other tourney...how many of us did you actually remove? I guess it must be some number, cuz if you removed me...

My tournaments are held to have fun and enjoy for the average Player

So I take it I'm not average enough...thanks, what a compliment...

HIT MAN: Once again, the cure is simple. Make 1 day per move tournaments and noone can prolong them that much. Really simple and elegant solution.

THE HIT MAN: well, you offended me, I don't take you away the right to remove anyone who you want to. But it's strongly unpolite to send someone a rude PM and then putting him into ignore list without letting him answer... And if the cause is I try to win then why did you try to camouflage that by that PM you sent me?

Hmm and Pedro plays pretty fast I think, may be HIT MAN just doesn't want people who try to think and fight for win in those games and he wants only people acting like random moves generators where he would have some chance to beat them May be he should think about making prize tournaments in games like Mahajarah chess, where even a monkey could win after some training, of course with one color only

fungame: We all have problems of some kind.I have installed 4 new windows in my computer to keep all my games active.You have been a memeber here for a year and half.By what is said on your profile and your record.You seem to like winning more then losing.I will not stand by and let ppl like this drag on games and prolong games for everone else in any of my Tournaments.So if you or anyone else has this thought of doing so will be removed from any of my up coming Tournaments.Also unfair play can remove you in my tournaments.If anybody does not like these Rules.Please do not enter them.My tournaments are held to have fun and enjoy for the average Player.I hope i haven't offended you or anyone else

I have just noticed he removed me from the other tourney also...and placed me on his enemies list...probably by the same reason as in the fungame's case but he didn't even send me a PM...*shaking head*...many people at BK know that when they catch me on-line I usually play our games till completion, neglecting thus other games, usually the chess ones...I didn't know it could bother anyone...moreover, I've been so damn busy at work last couple of weeks that I couldn't play faster even if I wanted to...

It's very nice that certain people provide prize tournaments here and there. But I want to note that this doesnt give them a right to be rude.
I just experienced such behaviour. I play in certain tournament, I have some problems with connection lately and also I am shifting a bit the moves in my games where I have less experience and want to think about strategy in those first. It costs me vacation days, so it's ok in my point of view. And surely the time will come soon I will move faster in all my games.
But back to the thread. This certain person sent me a rude message in caps, citation 'ARE YOU GOING TO PLAY OR NOT'. Time of this message was 6:17 am my local time... Morning about 8:20 I saw this message and started to write a polite answer. But meanwhile this person, which was still logged on, put me to his ignore list, so when I pushed send button, it told me it's unable to send. And this person also removed me from other tournament of his, which has he full right for, but the remaining behaviour I find rude. And if he wants fast tournament, I see no problem to put that tourney f.e. 2 days per move. But I would consider polite if he wouldn't use caps and wait for an answer first before acting the way he did. May be someone from staff can talk with him or send him a message from me or something. I don't know, may be this board is not the right place but it certainly has something to do with tournaments...

It stops here ok?

BerniceC: Interested people can not request an invite if they don't know it exists. Sorry to waste your valuable space.

Everyone invited.

Purple: Why post the link when it is a private tournament and by invitation only....seems a bit silly to me, and a waste of space

thanks, it was a hard tournament :o)

Winner of http://brainking.com/en/Tournaments?tri=34105 Spider Linetris!

Thnaks Jo

PENTE OPEN... I mean OPEN PENTE

The series is now half way through (although the first event has yet to finish) and already we have a lot of new entrants - I hope you are all enjoying the series.

But theres still time for new blood to experience the game, unrated players are welcome to wet their feet! A maximum BKR of 1500 is all you will be up against, so there's plenty of opportunity to explore without fear of getting slaughtered - I removed myself from the remaining tournaments once my BKR had increased beyond this limit.

Next event starts this coming Monday, so register now! http://brainking.com/en/Tournaments?trg=8476&u=14258&trnst=0

Remember, the winners will be invited to a tournament of champions at the conclusion of the 10th tournament.

Nothingness: All round 1 games have to be finished before you can progress to round 2.

How long will i have to wait until i can start the game? Their are still rd1 games goign on but my opp beat all the players still playing each other.
