However, I did win that last game but it went to my opponent..oh well!!

LOL no worries, easy mistake to make.

Duh! I looked again harley and it was a 5 games match, not a 5 wins match!
Thanks for your help anyway!!

Yes, it's right! All other 5 wins matches that I have played mean exactly that. You must win 5 games to be declared the winner...not 3.

Are you sure the match ID is right? Match 15991 shows a game that doesn't have you as a player!

Dolittle, game ID 417315 shows that your opponent won 3 games, and you won 2. So overall your opponent is the winner.

*edited to add* it was a 5 games match, which means you play 5 games, and whoever wins the most games, wins overall.

Fencer, I was playing a 5 wins match of backgammon and won the sixth game but it was given to my opponent and also the match with 3 wins. Is this a bug and would you fix it please.
Game ID 417315
Match ID 15991

I've been kind of distracted lately... since when are our own ratings appearing in the Waiting Games page, by the game type?
I like it :) Thanks Fencer!

LOL@rabbitoid
(however... ;) )

certainly not! BK code is WORKING!

Hmmm lets see why the code is in American...uhh could it be a Bill Gates thing? ROFL

Yes, nobody can leave a team once it's signed up.

ok, no problem. but i think he will have to stay now to finish it out!!!

His membership had probably expired after signing up for the tournament.

i have a pawn playing in the team tourney's for five in line. how can that be?

should be clever enough to sort it either way shouldnt it LOL

Steve as much as we would love Web code to be proper english it was originally made for the understanding of American english. SO if you make a centre tag it wont work unless you spell it center. Sighhhh.. Should be universal huh?

nope, full of American English and they cant spell properly LMAO center should be spelt centre LOL

rabbitoid: I guess so, BrainKing source code is full of English words :-)

LMAO@the rabbit

maybe that depends on the message contents
eh, Fencer, just how sensitive IS your server? and does it understand english? :))

Yes, it can happen when the server is restarted.

Got booted off BK couple of times a mo ago, just after posting message in games

Anytime :-)

I see.. excellent.. thanks for the explanation Fencer :))

You have 9 months left of your current Brain Knight level. If you pay for a new Brain Rook membership now, I will add, say, 6 extra months to this membership as a compensation for the rest of your previous membership.

sorry, but could you explain that more for me please ? quite possible I'm just being a bit thick today, but... :0)

The rest of your knight membership will be used to extend your new rook membership.

If I were to upgrade to rook membership, what happens to my existing knight membership ? would it just revert to my time left as knight when rook expired ??
As I have knight until next May, how does this work please ?

So you are serious B??? OMG!! I thought you were just fooling around.. HMMM????

Why not just pick em'?

actually 2 are for me,and 3 are for the new BrainKing Store models,being sponsered by the Ironhorse Saloon Fellowship.Stop by for details on how to win one of those shirts!
or Stop by the BrainKing Store,and order a couple for yourself ;)

Thanks Fencer, appreciate fast response.

musiclover: Yes, the formula is always the same.

Who?

Fencer or whoever knows for sure: Do you lose the same amount of points if you resign rather than play the game out? Or do you lose less when you resign over playing it out? There is no way to check as once one of them is choosen, cannot take it back and try the other way.

I see :-)
Btw, bwildman didn't probably mention it but he had ordered 5 (in words, FIVE) BrainKing T-shirts at once. That's what I call THE SUPPORT! :-)

the one that takes me to the next game of my choice.

LongJohn: All games except "not counted" ones are counted in your stats.
bwildman: What drop down box?

I kinda like the way the "drop down" box is set up the same as your main page.JMO:)

Does an unrated game still count in your win/loss even though it doesn't count for BKR?
A certain Canadian family started 2 tournaments recently and a lot of people may not be aware that they are both UNRATED

yes, thank you, i do know that, but as a paying member we have a great feature, it's a drop down box, and it lets us choose lots of different options, it's so easy not having to keep going to the main page, but for the very 1st. time one of the options is not working, i'm sure fencer will have it fixed real soon.
ty, ellie

ellieoop I don't know if this will help but on finishing a move I go back to main page. This then shows games possibly going to time out also who is on line, then with the online opponents selection you can see who is active or just browsing main page

i wish the dots were on players names on the drop down list like the tourn symbol is, i just hope that fencer gets it back to the way it wa. i wonder if it's a bug?

yes, green dot = online :o)

i found the dots. LOL..i hardly ever go to my game sheet, that's why i never saw them, are the ones with the dots here?

how did you do that, and where are the green dots. i know how to use default, but not to ppl that aren't here. it's become a real pain.

we did have those options before also

yes but we also had far fewer options.
eg I am playing a crap load of 1 dayers at the moment and after a days work and not online, I need to know all the ones that will time out first in order to not time out.
If I didnt have this option, there would be times where I would be in serious danger of timing out.

It would be better if we had both options.

Earlier today though to counteract this same game thing, I intentionally defaulted to "next game with this person" and also only chose people offline so that I could get my game count right down. That is easy now that we have the green dots and worked a treat this morning

All the info is here The gunners

It worked ok before BK2 though LJ
