July 2009, 11:40:38)  Fencer: Yep, connection and site flying at present  , just glad i noticed it then and not in half hour  lolOH, and i am using Prism rather than a web browser  9. July 2009, 11:39:31 Subject: Re:  MadMonkey: yes weve all been thou the same problem i had over 500 games all with the same time other day over 200 this morning but now ive moved on them they should go back to normal timings  9. July 2009, 11:37:48 Subject: Re:  MadMonkey: Only 38 games to play at this moment. It should not be a problem.  After that, all times should be synchronized.9. July 2009, 11:27:34 And again, i come across a batch of games (only about 70 this time) all with 54 minutes before timout. Hope connection speed is ok today 9. July 2009, 09:56:10 Subject: Re: Timeouts pauloaguia: I think the one that caused your problem is already fixed. This one is probably a consequence of the recent short downtime and BrainKing's automatic attempt to compensate the time loss. Well, it's another thing to improve for the 3.0 version.  Anyway, it is always recommended to change vacation days after playing all games, not before. 9. July 2009, 09:51:38 Subject: Re: Timeouts  tinksbell: Did you happen to change your vacation days? I got that, some time ago when I removed a vacation day from the end of my vacations. Many games of mine (the non Fischer clock ones) went suddenly from 3 days left to -8 or -9 days left. Since that day was already marked as a vacation day I ended up not timing up on any of those games, but I got quite a scare. 8. July 2009, 22:37:10 Subject: Re: Timeouts MadMonkey: Its particularly depressing as I was going to finally win some of those hard to win Pente & Keryo Pente games, they were in tournaments. :-( 8. July 2009, 22:33:28 Subject: Re: Timeouts tinksbell: Yesterday (or was it the day before) i got here to find i had 120 games ALL with the same time on and they were all timing out 35 minutes after i got here. I tried my best, but still had time outs  I presume this was something to do when the site was down the other day, i can not see any other way to end up with all those games having the same time  8. July 2009, 22:28:11 Subject: Re: Timeouts Bernice: I am not sure if any of them were, but it should not have changed from 14 hours to move to -4day. It is impossible to fix that on the users end... 8. July 2009, 22:20:14 Subject: Re: Timeouts Modified by Bernice (8. July 2009, 22:20:39)  tinksbell: now I dont know about fischers clock but are you playing games using that? might be the answer............... 8. July 2009, 22:12:47 Subject: Timeouts I just got timed out on 6 games, an hour ago I had 14 hours on all the games. Very confused on what is happening to the system... & disappointed. Not sure what to do about it... 5. July 2009, 19:14:08 Subject: Re: BrainKing on Facebook Czuch: I don't like Twitter. 5. July 2009, 19:01:06 Subject: Re: BrainKing on Facebook Fencer: Why not Twitter? 5. July 2009, 16:29:39 Subject: BrainKing on Facebook For those who do not read BrainKing.info blog. I have started a BrainKing page at Facebook and it is the recommended place to join our discussion about the upcoming new version of BrainKing. Everybody is welcome to add own suggestions or opinions. http://www.facebook.com/pages/BrainKing/113831815814 5. July 2009, 00:04:09 Subject: Re: Firefox 3.5 Fencer: And by the way, if you use Mozilla's Prism brainking is loadssssss faster (one sad drawback is though you can not have any add-ons) 2. July 2009, 23:38:00 Subject: Re:  Fencer: thanks for the explanation 2. July 2009, 18:32:17 Subject: Firefox 3.5 By the way, BrainKing works fine with Firefox 3.5. I would say it is even a little faster. 2. July 2009, 16:18:18 Subject: Re: beach: It's a side effect of the recovery system in case of temporarily disabled timeouts. It tries to balance the time left but does not count with weekend and vacation days.It will be self-fixed when you make a move. I think that I will announce the BrainKing Facebook page soon, because I want to use it for instant and quick messages of this kind. 2. July 2009, 14:28:15 2 days are now being added as of this morning last night all my 3 day games were over 4 days 23 which is what they should have been this morning I log on and all those games are 2 days 23 hrs so I lost time not gained time, talked to a couple of other people and they have the same thing, and all games should not have had the same amount of time this morning, they are all played at different times 2. July 2009, 14:25:35 Subject: Re:  beach: Well, I have noticed that 2 days have been added to all of my games. Maybe you should dig a little deeper in the list of your games to find those. :) 2. July 2009, 13:50:55 I have over 100 games that do not show on either my turn or my oppontents turn 2. July 2009, 13:46:01 Subject: Re: beach: I noticed games that had 17hrs last night are not listed & I did not time out. I am confused & concerned. 2. July 2009, 13:19:07 Modified by beach (2. July 2009, 13:24:38) anyone else notice the times for games moves changed on the games today, 3 day games that should read 4 days 23 hrs changed back to 2 days 23 hrs also when I make a move in these games it goes to 2 days 23 hrs, my weekend days are Sat and Sun so they should go to 4 days 23 hrs, something has to be wrong with the clocks, when I logged in this morning all my games were at the same time 2 days 23 hrs 1. July 2009, 17:29:09 Subject: Re: Connection issues Hrqls:  1. July 2009, 13:20:51 Subject: Re: Connection issues Fencer: Ok from U.S. now too 1. July 2009, 13:09:11 Subject: Re: Connection issues Fencer: out for about 1 hour for me as well .. toughest hour of the day :) 1. July 2009, 13:03:31 Subject: Re: Connection issues Fencer: I can get here now. Been out for about an hour or so... 1. July 2009, 11:55:10 Subject: Connection issues Due to a broken optical link (somewhere in Prague) BrainKing is currently not accessible for the most users outside Czech Republic. Game timeouts have been stopped until the problem is solved. 30. June 2009, 17:48:09 Subject: Re: People who resign rod03801:I missed that..my bad..sorry AbigailII... 30. June 2009, 04:26:16 Subject: Re: People who resign Czuch: I have done some construction in my life, and I have personally manned a mounted saw, many times actually, but that is just me... 30. June 2009, 03:41:09 Subject: Re: People who resign gogul: Ever man a mounted saw? Ay, forever. 29. June 2009, 21:05:31 Subject: Re: People who resign  tfra11: Ever saw a Man mounted? Nay, never. 29. June 2009, 20:33:50 Subject: Re: 63 ! AbigailII: Right. divide again by 8. 29. June 2009, 20:27:40 Subject: Re: People who resign rod03801: It was more than simply an inaccurate generalization, it was flat out a misrepresentation  29. June 2009, 20:24:42 Subject: Re: People who resign  Czuch: Well whatever, lol. I wasn't thinking it all the way out. Her point still was that games aren't played out all the way, if they don't need to be. If you haven't read the whole thread, you will see where she is coming from, if you do. I'm as American as any other American, and I have certainly resigned games that are mathematically impossible for me to win, and I feel comfortable saying that probably most others do as well. It was an inaccurate generalization on the part of tfra11. 29. June 2009, 20:19:18 Subject: Re: People who resign rod03801: I think you have it backwards.... in baseball, the game will end if there is no mathematical way for the home team to lose! 29. June 2009, 20:12:19 Subject: Re: People who win rod03801: Dang that was fast. Triple play and next inning  29. June 2009, 19:39:07 Subject: Re: People who resign awesome: Right, her point was that in baseball (considered the "American sport") games DO end when there is no mathematical way for the team to win. This was in response to tfra11 who is trying to say that it is "UnAmerican" to resign a game that is definitely lost. She made an excellent point. 29. June 2009, 19:32:43 Subject: Re: People who resign pauloaguia: And Baseball is awesome  29. June 2009, 18:04:15 Subject: Re: People who resign awesome: I think she was being ironic... 29. June 2009, 17:47:02 Subject: Re: 63 ! rabbitoid: That number doesn't consider reflections or rotations. 29. June 2009, 17:13:35 Subject: Re: People who resign AbigailII: you must not watch much baseball, you are wrong on both the points you are trying to make and using baseball as an example... ...1. the bottom of the 9th is NOT always played if the home team has the lead after the top of the 9th !!! 2. the World Series is a best of 7...the first to 4 wins wins...they DO NOT always play 7 games !!!! 29. June 2009, 17:12:13 Subject: Re: 63 ! Herlock Sholmes: the right formula is 64! / ((8!)^8) = 1,816572393163080675696402792818e+52 which is still more than the amount of cents I have in my bank account. 29. June 2009, 16:50:58 Subject: Re: People who resign AbigailII: This is crazy.... I can agree that you can be considered a sore loser if you simply quit when you get behind, but to resign a game with no mathematical possibility to win, that is completely different. Baseball, there is always a mathematical chance to win, and that is true for all sports. But a game like backgammon, there is a point when it is not finished, where one player has no mathematical chance to win. Of course, here on Brainking, there is always a chance that someone can timeout, which is not a normal situation for games in general. 29. June 2009, 16:16:29 Subject: Re: 63 ! Resher: It wasn't my calculation ... it was done by a mathematician ... maybe he was wrong, I don't know.. 29. June 2009, 16:12:25 Subject: Re: People who resign tfra11: Here in the USA, if we quit, even if we're mathematically eliminated, we're called sore losers. That's why in America's national passtime, baseball, all 9 innings are always played fully (there's always a bottom of the 9th), and the World Series is always exactly 7 games. And it's easy to pick out the American chess players in tournaments - they always play until mated. 29. June 2009, 15:51:56 Subject: Re: 63 ! Herlock Sholmes:That would be the case if all 64 pieces were unique, but they're not here. I haven't got time now to come up with what I think is the right answer, but it will be lower than (8^57)x 7! = 1.5 x 10^55 << < 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 > >> |
