seems you misunderstood a simple light hearted joke Bernice.
If it offends you, I take it back
Sorry :)

I notice that LongJohn has deleted his post completely from tyhis board instead of it just having a *EDITED* on the message.

Thank you to all who had my personal details deleted from here, and as has been said on the Gen Chat board, it is in the hands of the Townsville Police :(

It is a sorry day when a person cannot play games for the sicko's that haunt the internet.

I would warn all on here to beware of LongJohn, and Im sorry Harley, but I do think this is in the interest of the BrainKing.com board.

I would also add that the address that he has and has posted on here is NOT my address :) the local phone book has that address and it has been wrong for the 15 years I have lived here :) hehehehe...thankfully I get my bills sent to a Post Office Box.

That's what steroids will do.

Is there something wrong with this list? Antje, had 706 moves yesterday. That is good enough for fiftyith place, but is not listed on the all time list. Antje also has a day with 1555 moves on it. Are you only allowed one listing? That doesn't make much sense. Each season's record should count individually. Babe Ruth had 60 homeruns one year. He also had a year with 59, and another year with 54. Until his record of 60 was broken in 1961, he had the top listing in the American for all three of those years. In the complete major leagues (This would be including the Natiional League) it was listed this way at the end of the 1961 season.

HR Player--------League

61 Roger Maris --American
60 Babe Ruth ----American
59 Babe Ruth ----American
56 Hack Wilson --National
54 Babe Ruth ----American

My point in this is those other years when players repeated leading the league were still good years and are listed in the record books. Shouldn't the same be the case here on BrainKing? Or maybe a second chart listing that includes the best daily listings of anyone for that day and allow them to have their name repeated if they qualify for it.

As an aside. The homerun record of Roger Maris stood for 37 more years until 1998 and has been broken a few times since by Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, and Barry Bonds.

yes, let me see here: ughaibu has played 300 games of loop, and the top guy has played 4. I think anyone can fluke out in a small sample size, which is one of the reasons I play these games for fun rather than ratings. My 1000 rating in Line4 should be ample evidence of that! I still think GothicInventor's rating is justified, because his sample size extends far beyond the realm of only a BKR.

Well, he won all his games so far, so that is evidence that he is a stronger player than any of his 4 opponents, who had quite high ratings. There is no evidence yet that any of those 4 (or any other player) is stronger than him.

Redsales is correct about provisional ratings often being nonsense, there was recently a new tablut player who after four games had lost three with me and won one with an unrated player, this was enough to occupy second highest rated position.

I agree!

for the new 'outbox' feature - finally the sender owns an original as well ... :) ~*~

Caissus, danoschek: the ratings are very front-end biased. It is possible to get an inordinately high rating with only a few games. See TOPGUN's provisional ratings (he refuses to play more than 4 games) as an example. However, I believe GothicInventor deserves that high rating!

No more off-topic, please.

I thought it was just me who took it that way

LongJohn, that is totally out of order if that's personal information. It also looks like a veiled threat to me.

I must not say on what bodypart I focus while dancing ... hehehe ~*~

Only if I want to keep my children quiet! :D

Edited because on re-reading it looked quite bad! No offence meant - honestly!

bumble: You want my face on your T-shirt? :-D

grumble grumble grumble grumble !! ... :P ~*~

Note: Fencer charges a €2 modelling fee.

How much for a Dancing Fencers shirt?

Aha,that`s the reason why the ratings sometimes are slope :-)

I like that one better than the original. LOL!

I had to start with 1520 after four wins and it took me half a year
to 2500, although I left mostly the strongest disassembled behind ... :D ~*~

Caissus: If it's a provisional rating after 4 games, it can be correct.

Dano,the fourth game was in 2003 against Chesscarpenter.

especially as only three are listed ... I refrain from comments to GI vs Nomad ~*~ 0:)

Fencer,there has played Gothicinventor four chessgames only and has as now a chessrating with 2641! Sorry but there must be something wrong!

Good thought there Kevin..

now I can sleep peacefully.. that is when it cools down enough to where I can sleep..
*wipes sweat off of forehead*

How do you know he wasn't going to? He hasn't released the mugs yet..! :-)

Kewl.. how come you didn't come to me for a design? *sneaky grin*

Nope, I think I like the decimal point where I put it better... ;-)

Kevin: You've made a typo, you wanted to write 9.99% off, right? :-D
Scarlet: Mugs are planned too :-D

Like 99.9% off? That sounds like a pretty good deal indeed! :-D lol

Then you can send me a special order and I'll make a special price for you :-D

And nice piccy there Fencer.. :)

Hope your store does very well..

Hey.. here's an Idea.. I could make coffee mugs for ya.. I just need a few small things.. such as a wheel and a kiln?? *giggle*.. ;)

*editing remarks* OOooOOPppPPSss Typo.. now fixed.. :)

I just noticed - it displays the "You cannot join this team because you're alredy in one of this game type" message beneath a team even if you're not a member of the fellowship. :-)

I noticed the drop down list only goes to 100 - what if I want to purchase more than 100? ;-)

Bernice: I am not sure about details but Lenka says that the blue T-shirt is harder to create. Don't ask me why :-)

Not laughing....but asking???

Why would I pay more for your Pic Fencer ( handsome devil LOLOLOL)
than for the BK logo?
does it get me a position on the BK board?... if so Im buying LOLOL
if it dont well I actually like the look of the SNAKE...on his own...with the initials of the QWERTY girl, the Bernice people?? and the other accounts of this particular person who takes his meds occaisionaly, also his/her pic...underneath
that way I could go to the local army base, and ask about this very deceptive person!!!!

to ME this would be good :)

then i would buy your pic Fencer :)....promise LOLOLOL
*edited for spelling ONLY*

I have added some pictures to the Store. Please don't laugh too much ;-)

I will add an option to enable this kind of sorting.

Hmm...when I click the red number beside my main page it does take me to the game that has been waiting the longest. But when I click "Move and go to next game" it does take me to games in the order of how long they were waiting, but does not start at the beginning - i'm getting games that were only my turn since last evening.

I remember it working correctly recently too...

I know it was working the other day.
Unfortunately I am waiting on moves at the moment so I cant test it tonight LOL

It's not doing it that way either. I have been playing with it tonight, and regardless of the way I have my main page set up, it is acting weird. Sometimes it was taking me to a game that has been my turn since the 17th, and other times it was taking me to a game just moved on by an opponent online. (Which I wish it would always do!! lol)
Move and go to the Next Game in the first drop down box USED to take you to the game that had been your turn the longest.
Now it is just acting crazy..
Changing the way the main page is sorted doesn't seem to have any significance either.

it definately now orders it the way you have it on your main screen
try putting it in player name order etc or reverse time order to put the longest game at the top.
It is kinda cool, I like automatically playing the game with least time left now, but it does get kinda offputting sometimes playing the same game every other move, however, that can be good too if you like it that way

it's not taking me to the next game on my list, frankly i don't know where it's taking me, but i keep getting the same game back cause the player is on now, and i changed the order around and it still doesn't put the player you just played on the bottom, i guess fencer will have to explain it. thx to all of you.

"go to next game" option now takes you to the next game on your list and a move just played does not go to the bottom of the list anymore. It is dependent on how you have your order sorted on main page

i selected go to next game, and clicked default and then click move, and one of my players is on now, and her game keeps coming back, i now have the same stuation again, it's either not working or i'm doing something wrong.

ellie: You can do that. If you select "Go to next game" in the drop down list, and click the top "Move" button, it will take you to the game that has been your turn the longest - in other words, the games that your opponent just moved it will go to the bottom so you can play the others first.

i want to be able to click the red# next to main page, and play every game and not have the ones i played keep coming back, i want those to go to the bottom of the list like they used to, and most times i'll play them again as i get to them.i have over 80 games, and i want to be sure to play them all.

I have all the players in my "Friends online" section and I look there and play all the persons who are NOT listed there first. Then I play the people online at the present time and can play them as they keep playing me. Do you think this will work for you ellieoop?
