If a Knight, expiring in four months time, buys or wins a Rook 6-month subscription today, how does it work?

Chessmaster1000: Just a minor change, no 2700 maximum.

And what about this recalculation? Does the system of calculation of the BKR will be changed dramatically or just minor changes......?

Nuno Miguel: Nothing will disappear. Some positions will be changed, though, because many inactive players will disappear from the charts.

on main page we have our rated game types and the positions. this will disappear after wednesday or just the ranking on the charts?
thanks

ClayNashvilleTn: Don't even think about taking the easy way out bud!!!!

besides.. that site has been down for 3 days now! *giggle*

harley:Actually, thats why I asked, to benefit the new players.

"DANG" there are way too many features on BK.
Think I'll just mosey on over to IYT where it isn't sooooo easy to get confused.

LOL give it a try and see if its what you were looking for!

*edited to add... don't ever be embarrassed asking about something. If you don't know, then there will be other people that don't either so you're doing all those people a favour too.

harley: oops, is that how you do it?

If it is, I am embaressed if not YES

Clay, you mean to see all the baords at once? After you clicked on 'discussion boards' you can click on 'expand all boards' and that will show you every public discussion board on the site.

Could we have a link for game site boards? Where one could just click on the link and see the various discussion boards. Perhaps it would be identical to the "Discussion boards" link.

DUMB QUESTION: Is there an easy way now to see such a list or have I just not found it yet?

Fencer: I'm prepared, are you?

Cheers Fencer, i love that i can see how many moves i've made woohooo

Andersp: When I find a more sophisticated method.

Fencer: any idea when?

Fencer, you already made 275 moves today!


Everyone look at your profiles, you can see how many moves you made so far today!

THANK YOU Fencer! Great feature!

Andersp: No, not this one.

Fencer Is one of the news on wednesday that many games with the same player wont affect BKR?

reza: Now you can.

Why can I not see the flag for Azerbaijan?

Pioneer54: Although some of the things you write about might be true, I would prefer if such posts don't appear on the main BrainKing board. Use General Chat instead.

Vikings: Yes.

Pioneer54: i think that you'll finnd that Fencer would rather not have anyone bashing other sites on here! or at least keep the bashing to a dull roar! lol

Fencer: so will finishing 1 game bring back the old rating, adjusted with new game?

Fencer: i think a paying member should remain on the active list until after they've been a pawn for 30 days, as a courtesy for being a paying member! there can't be that many paying members that haven't been on in a while. jmo

wellywales: No, it's not. It will be on Wednesday.

Fencer: Thanks Fencer, proberly in the rules and I have not seen it

wellywales: 6 months for the paying members, 1 month for the pawns.

Fencer: So when do you become an inactive player? over what period of time

wellywales: I mean inactive players of the particular game.

Fencer said "removing inactive users from BKR charts" is that users to games or the site?

rod03801: I am not sure, about 250.

Wow. 182 people on the site as I type this. Fencer, what is the highest amount of people on the site at one time so far?

Fencer: OOPS! Sorry

BUT, after saying that it might be intresting to watch people that try. I will join your f/s Reza if you allow me too.

Please discuss fellowships there, not here.

Chessmaster1000:


25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29That no flesh should glory in his presence.

Flesh can not logically figure God out. Never has and never will. Using LOGIC trying to figure God out is vain.

Reza:
Who is God and what qualities does he have?
We'll speak just from ourselves and based on our feelings and of course logic.

Use logic talking about God? LOL! This is completely illogical........

As a bonus for paying to use BrainKing more you get the option to ... er, use BrainKing less!

Bry: Yes, it's a bonus of buying an extra year of membership. In all cases, the number of vacation days left will be 30 as of 1st January.

Bry: i agree but i could see it happen if its allowed

Jason: but that'd costs them - all for what? a few games not to time out on the internet? wouldnt make sense for someone to abuse it like that I think.

Fencer: but if they extend by a year today, and they had nil vacation days, then get 30, but use 10 before Jan 1st, should they not start Jan 1st with 20? or is the fact they get reset to 30 again a bonus of comitting to an extra year of membership?

so some people could use 60 , 90, 120 days vacation if they extend membership everytime they use thier days up

Pedro Martínez: No, the number of vacation days never exceeds the max value. It will be reset on 1st January anyway.

that explains it then ;).

Fencer: Will such person receive another 30 vac days by Jan 1?

Jason: Well, it wasn't officially announced yet but if you extend your membership by another year, the vacation counter would be reset to the original value (30 for Brain Rooks, etc.) instead of waiting for the 1st January.

reason i ask is that i was looking at someones profile and there now appears to be alot more vacation days than was there the last time i looked
