furbster: you are correct .... hereby i congratulate my future opponents in those tournaments with their wins .... maybe if i come back online when the games are active i might give up .... but not sure when that might be ....

sorry for the delay, but i think i am not the only one like that in those tournaments

hereby i am sending you my final goodbye

i just finished my last running game.
i had a great time here, with many great people, and great games.

due to time limits i will now only play on 1 site and sadly brainking is not that site.

have fun all!!
maybe we see each other again somewhere else :-)

thanks!

Argomento: Re:
Nice works: well said indeed!

you make thise players look like politicians :-)

bug can be fixed quite easily smetimes if you know how the situations can be reproduced
dealing with cheaters needs an almost continuous monitoring and mostly by a human as cheaters are often more clever than the system (or copycats of someone else who was clever)

which games do you like best ?
i thnk brainking was mainly focused on chess and its variants in the beginning but i could be wrong
dailygammon is the best backgammon site imho
jijbent.nl (and its englsh and german version) are like brainking butless chess orientated ... jijbent.nl has a very strong line-game player base for example
the other sites i dont know that well ... i joined a few more but left those quite fast for various of reasons

i did as well .... but appreaently i used the same username and same password .. so now my profile says i joined the site at a certain date (my new account) byt it also links to tournaments i played before my joining date (from my old account) :-)

a new account is all fun ... you can build new stats and discover old new games again :-)

Argomento: Re:
mal4inara: that is indeed a problem ... the problem is fencer is the only one who can do something about it, and he has stated some years ago that this is no longer maintained.

Some say he should have closed the site completely to prevent these kind of problems, but he was kind enough to let the site running with the side remark that it is no longer maintained with all consquences

the only other "solution" for cheaters is to contact them directly and maybe talk sense into them

or you could start a witchhunt, making the site a real total mess for anyone who is still having fun playing their normal games

personally i couldnt care less to the amount other people have or wether they are cheating or not .. let them have their false fun by their false virtual ranks and virtual brains .. as long as i can play my normal games and have fun with the people i play with and who i know to be honest i am ok .. but thats just me personally :-)

Nice works: i am sorry it hought me being disprespectful, that was not my intention and i dont think you were being disrespectful either .. i just wanted to point out that brains cannot be used anymore for anything which is connected to real money

brains allows you to enter specific tournaments though

if you have any suspicions about anyone being cheating, or want to accuse someone, you can best send a direct message to fencer

fencer is the only one who can do anything about it by either blocking or banning that player

posting accusations on a public board like this might just cause a witchhunt which is not what this board is for

Argomento: Re:
Bernice: i which way was i "not nice" ? i thought he was referring to the use of brains for buying memberships ... which isnt possible anymore ... so they arent worth any real-money anymore

you can still use them to enter tournaments though which i didnt think of .. so without brains you are excluded from tournaments which gives people with (unjustly) brains an access to tournaments which others dont have

Argomento: Re:
Nice works: ok that is true, you can enter tournaments with them ... i thought you were referring for their use to buy memberships with as you could in the past .. luckily that cannot be done anymore as that would give brains a real-money-value ... but you can indeed still enter tournament with them ..

is this the same person to which you are referring in your profile, who is playing 2 accounts and making them play eachother?

then you should send a pm to fencer so he might block/ban/... those accounts as that is definetly cheating

this site isnt perfect but, in my opinion it offers the best with the least bugs/glitches

this site is especially great for chess types and its many variants

its a problem though that its becoming less active, which causes people to leave, making it even less active

persoanlly i loved this site, and it was definetly my #1
although for backgammong alone dailygammon is slightly better

personally i have achieved most of what i wanted on this siite, so far, and dont see any progress in the unachieved goals .... plus i wanted to play other games on a more active site, so i moved on to jijbent which is the dutch version of yourturnmyturn

if anyone doesnt like playing on this site anymore, i suggest them to move on to another site .... if they still do want to play on this site, then try to make it work better by motivating other players in a positive way

you can even switch the weekend days so they fit you best, and change them once in a while so you will have to use less vacation days

Argomento: Re: Fevga Rule
Carpe Diem: i thought this rule was encforced by brainking?

i think the important point is : "all his checkers onto the one point behind player's prime"
so it's not about you being blocked, but all your checkers have to be on the 1 single point directly behind the block ... all stacked into 1 big pile

i even think that the rule doesnt apply when you have 1 piece beyond the block, and all your other pieces directly behind the block

Argomento: Re: Thousands of games and years to play one round of a tourney
pB: i agree that the time per move is a bit vague with the option of weekend days and vacation days added ... if you really want to be naughty you can even switch your weekend days while playing giving you 2 extra days once in a while ... just to frustrate your opponent :-)

about players knowing what they signed up for ... maybe they didnt know at first ... but i believe people learn from experience .. or at least i hope so ... and after some tournaments which are too slow for their taste they will think twice before joining a tournament which might be slow

due to a busy real life i am retiring on this site, and also on dailygammon, just finishing my running games/tournaments ... which migh take years, but i cant stand to lose on timeout :-)
i am only playing now on jijbent.nl (i think the english version is yourturnmyturn.com ?)
i think there the default for tournaments is 1 day per move, and a max 6 day pool
even then tournaments can take quite long

you are/were quite active on dailygammon as well .. what do you think of the timecontrols there ?

out of curiousity : about how many players are we talking who "abuse" the time control on this site ?

if i have an opponent who plays too slow according to my taste (rarely happens, but sometimes it does just before i go on vacation) ... i then send him a polite private message asking him if he could move in my games first

if an opponent sends me a message asking me to move faster, i then make sure i always move first in his/her games before i move in the others

about the speed rating per player: i suggested this years ago as well as i think its very useful and very informative .. but you have to take into account the different game types .. an average speed would make less sense that an average speed per game type

Hrqls 
Argomento: Re: Thousands of games and years to play one round of a tourney
playBunny: there are also people with busy lives who don't have hundreds or thousands of games going on

those players can also make their moves within the time limits, but maybe too slow for others

i understand your point about pawns not knowing what they signep up for, and i also can go along with you for the prize tournaments

but for all the other tournaments, which is the most complaining about, the players do (or should) know what they signed up for, and specifically: they had the chance to join other tournaments with a time limit that better suits their taste, or create their own tournaments with their own time limit

for prize tournaments: the creator has chose the time limit for a specific reason

(and please keep this discussion cicilized)

which shows that it wasn't Carnies turn but the opponents. so the game history was right :-)

Carnie congrats on your win

about the bully subject you addressed aside : i don't see much bullying lately .. and if it does please let me (or another mod) know and we will take care of it

people are not leaving this site because of bullies (afaik) but because the site isn't managed anymore .. the owner (Fencer) has stated that he doesn't have time for it anymore and has other priorities. He is kind enough to let the site running so we can still play though
