What does the above mean?

BerniceC: And what's the problem? PayPal occasionally changes its return codes, it's just an internal feature. The payment was processed.

and got this message.....

Payment result
PayPal returned a code which was not recognized by BrainKing. It does not mean a problem, you should also receive an e-mail receipt of your transaction.

Templar: .....but i am only doing a few hours , so depends what time u will be here until

Templar: Unfortuantely i am off to work shortly, otherwise i would have done

alanback: Just trying to help. :)

Unfortunately it's all rather jumbled on BrainKing. When the Czech Republic is on CEST, what BK falsely calls "GMT" is actually GMT+1.

KotDB: Now that's the kind of precision I appreciate!

Pedro Martínez: Central European Time is GMT+1. Central European Summer Time is GMT+2.

Actually, that should probably be UTC+1 and UTC+2, but who's counting?

alanback: Yup, Central European Time. GMT+1.

alanback:

Maxxina: That would be GMT + 1 right?

gambler104: Server time is Czech time. One hour ahead of GMT. I believe 6pm Eastern is the deadline.

gmt - 1 hour :) Czech time :)

BK uses GMT as its official time, correct?

kkkeeek: i empathise... I don't want to be in a position where it takes one guy 19 days to make 3 moves- [7days@move]! so i offered a draw, which he took, that cost me 40 points! [in my profile i've a link to the 'quick players club;]

--- that guy is a member- NOT quick player, but a rook- so i started eliminating all members and played with pawns until i realized that pawns can play slow too, and members can play fast;]

so now i just go with 1/1/7 and no days off...
AND i explain it to whomever i invite or when i create a new game....


NEW to 1/1/7? Here is a quick introduction;] lol

NO vacations or weekends [want a weekend? MOVE!-
A week's [unpaid;] vacation? MOVE A LOT!;]

1/1/7 = Time for the game;
1/ = 1 day starting time for the game
/1/ = 1 day bonus for each move added to 1/
/7 = 7 days maximum total time for game [1/]

the opponent's clock starts when someone makes a move- [then waits]- you are not charged time while waiting-

we rack up bonuses playing on-line at the same time-

so let us rip off at least a half-dozen moves or more now and max limit to 7 days- then if you want to slow to a couple a day...or so… [i prefer fast games;]

Terms ok? No? Please send your counter invite;]

WatfordFC:  I'm on it  ;)

WatfordFC: Got a bee in your bonnet?

Groucho: Well, jmsut incase, could you design one with a hornet on the top

WatfordFC:  heheheh, the surprise will be in what kinds of hats I'm going to donate  ;)

voldemort:

doesnt seem that way lol

Groucho: Well it isnt much of a surprise now, is it

WatfordFC:  Is's supposed to be a surprise  ;)

Groucho: Oh wow, really??

gambler104:  He will for sure be able to top August Action Points becuase I will be donating three of my hats to the top three finishers!

Fencer

Pedro Martínez: Well, if he can top the July Action (or if he wants to), then I think we all owe him a huge thank you.

gambler104: According to Fencer's words, the July Action is nothing in comparison with the August one. That's all I know. Maybe Maxxina knows more????

you will see :)

Maxxina: How can it get better?

gambler104: No doubt about it :))

Maxxina: I don't know if it can top the July Action.

Pedro : pssttt , its a secret , i cant tell :P

Maxxina: Will it? What's it gonna be like?

Gambler : August action will be HUGE :)

Any plans for it Fencer?

boo

rednaz23: PCfromKNM has a record in action points too - 14810 in one day.

rednaz23: Go Francescolr! 10,000+ is possible, isn't it?

kkkeeek:If you're winning the game, just get used to it and let it finish.  But keep in mind that there are many people like that here on BrainKing.  Always accept invitations with a 2-3 day per move time limit.

kkkeeek: Use a shorter time setting.
Weekends included, the 14-days per game setting will often come to 20 days per move, which means that your opponent will have 3 weeks to play.
5 days per setting should give you enough time for most of your games, and your opponents will be forced to play faster. Just be carefull about your holidays, if they go over a week, so that you yourself won't timeout.

You can also try Fischer clock settings, where a time is determined for the full game. With the appropriate bonus settings and all, faster players will seldom see any difference, but slower players will soon be forced to play faster.
You can find more about it at the FAQ

I play with Nagy Peter, now my game is advantage. But problem is he play at his last minutes for many moves (this game about 8 month now). I don't care if he seldom connects internet but the truth is he connects this website for many times but not play the game until the last minutes. This is so boring! How can I do?

We have a new top mover that occured yesterday (7/27/06).

Way to go PcfromKNM!!!

gambler104: *nod* i dont have any brains either .. if i did i would enter those tournaments though :)
