Hi people. I've been away for a long time, as I thought it was finishing... is the site still maintained? How is this by now?

Argomento: Re: Valuation
SL-Mark:crowdfunding seems a good idea, but I believe the most dfcult question is the technical one. Without Fencer we loose the programer of the site. Im not a programer, but I believe the program codes and experience in this peculiar site are not easily shared. So, we need the money to buy the site, but also the know-how to keep it rolling.

ketchuplover:actual activity in brainking is ridiculous.
See if you can start any team tournament of any non-dice game.
Although, this is clearly the best turn based games site, in my opinion, and people are staying "around", as pawns, waiting to see what will happen. Thats what ot looks to me.
I hope something good happens. In this conditions I also will not renew my membership, but I'll be nearby! :)

I totally suport Ian's words (our precious monkey had always been a wise man).
We can't make a "moral apreciation" of your words, Fencer. You obviously have total legitimacy to do that. There are no moral or law questions against you to be used.
And that's exactly how life is. You certainly ate not doing this as a revenge or for some other bad reasons. You simply are no more interested in keeping it and you don't have to explain that.
As madmonkey, I will be very sad with the end pf brainking. It was many time, many years, many friends, many genious moves, many terrible mistakes... You have a great site here, and it had been great beeing part of it. If this happens, I must thank you for the great time I had. If the site keeps going with its "mission", its even better! :)
Cheers,
Gabriel

Argomento: Brainking future
I totally disagree with this "moralist" opinions.

I like the site, and would like it to be improved. I have some suggestions I can send in private to Fencer. I think the site is dying and this "hurts " the expectations of those who like the site and are playing here for years. Paying members have more reasons because with that payment They showed a biggest link to BK. BUT... And this BUT is very important... Fencer has total legitimacy to do that! No one has a so strong right to decide that Fencer must spending his time developing BK instead other projects he might have. And more, he is keeping a fair position as he is available to sell the site.
I am unhappy with this dicrease of the site, but can not acuse Fencer of anything.
This is not a question of "good people" vs "bad people", it's a balance between personal legitim interests.
Cheers

well, it seems clear for me that this site is in a big crisis, do you agree? Lots of people leaving or not renewing. What can be done? Fencer your opinion is needed. If the option is to let it die, we must understand , but if not, something should be done to involve people again.

Hrqls: I'm in too! :) I resigned all my games, after getting bored with the tournament... eheheheheh. 0 points, last place in my section! :)


Well, Rabbitoid... rod and beaupol will problably be in second round, so... you'll have more 8 years (minimum) to wait. If you get a third round, with one of them, more 8 years, so you will finish the tournament in 2031.


How old are you, Rabbitoid? LOL


By the way, I say this with no problem, as I really like rod and Beaupol, they are good friends, and I respect them. But they are slow players (and they know it), so... :)

Argomento: Re: back to brainking
Hrqls:hi, my friend, i accept your point of view, of course. Some of the slowest players in bk are people i really like. My point is: fencer, when he created the tournament, was thinking in a 8 years tournament? And players that joined in, were they thinking in that? Would they all joined if they knew that?

Argomento: Re: Slow players - slow tournaments
BGBedlam: Maybe, my friend!
Both situations must make us think about them:
1) Why a tournament is played for 8 years? Is it positive? It was that the idea since the begginning?
2) Why, 8 years after, some of the most active players of 2007 are not playing in 2014 in Brainking?

Argomento: Slow players - slow tournaments
Look at this tournament, still running. Started 21/01/2007.
8 years to play a tournament, is it normal?
Now we have a final match between 3 "ghost-felowships", maybe 50% of the games won for time-out. We have games where BOTH players don't play in BK since a long time.
WOW!!!

rabbitoid: Wrong calculation, my friend. In fact, it's more than THREE years. More than 1100 days, in this case.



So... 1440*1100/92 = 17217 days. More than 47 Years!!!!



However, in brainking, this seems to be right, because "players are only using properly their time limits to move". Opinions...



By the way, we are talking of a Backgammon game. 7 points. 3 Years... and counting. It's not in the middle, yet...


P.S. - I'm not criticising directly those players. I really like them (one of them in particular), he/she is a nice player, and I don't want to offend him/her. I say is that rules should avoid that kind of games.

coan.net: Oh yes... It seems great to me (and I think you also use that motiv) different type of games. It would be increased with the aleatory factor! :) So:


- 1 "random chess games" tournament;


- 1 "random checkers games" tournament;


- 1 "random gammon games" tournament;


...


I think it would be very interesting!
