I see we are also not aloud to become part of this pawn helping group by requesting. Even though weve done it before ourselves :o(

I hope someone is also discussing the same thing for those Knights & Rooks that are struggling to keep there membership going.

Within a week or two.

When will game time come back on?

I cant log out??

LongJohn: re New Recruits.

If you're looking for members for your fellowship, please feel free to post on the 'Fellowships' db - perhaps with a link.

That's ok, Fencers about to get out a big ol' can of Raid.

I hate bugs.

Everybody who timed out please send me the game IDs to restore. There was probably some new year bug.

I think two of my games have just disappeared. I'm pretty sure I had six waiting for my move but now it's only four(??).

Happy Happy, Y'all. :)

And 6am EST corresponds to midnight Czech time. The :20 is a baffler, though.

Happy new year

I think its just when various countries have changed to 2004.

If your game has timed out without reason, send Fencer the game number and I'm sure he'll re-instate the games when he comes online.

I have 19 games which either I or others have timed out in!

Yea - Something did happen

Earlier today, the game with the least amount of time left that I had was around 3 days, XX hours

About 4-5 hours later, I look now and the game with the least amount has 1 day, 1 hour.

It'a a Y2K4 bug that lost about 2 days!

People we got in czech 1.36 am :) Wait few hours , thanks :)

Y2K4

I have 8 games where other people timed out against me.

For my sister's account (SueQ), she timed out on 4 games where I did not think she was that close to timing out.

It looks like the games timed out when the system (Fencer's time) possible had their new year.

Mabye it's Y2K, just 4 years too late.

i am sure fencer will sort any that shouldnt of timed out tomorrow :) i know there is a known bug...dont know if this was it?

My tablut rating went up 200 points :) Now if I can just beat Ugh in tablut....

Oh, I guess my 8x8 Bkr didnt drop TOO much.. but more than I'd like! lol..
Stop partying Fencer, and come back online! LOL
j/k my friend!

Well I'm glad I'm not alone.. Thanks..

My halma 8x8 bkr is my baby! lol.. im gonna be bummed if I can't get it back where it was..

I didn't pay attention, I just read the messages when I got home.

yes it was about an hour ago.. or so???

was it at 620pm Eastern zone by any chance? (approximately an hour ago)

i had 8 games where people had timed out too.. some i know about as they are no longer on the site since the crash and they are a 5 game match.. so have a few more to come yet... but others were out of the blue

yep, i timed out on four games which i had at least five days left on as of yesterday, i dropped fencer a note

I suddenly had four games that my opponents timed out in... but I didn't pay attention to the time... it did seem weird though....

I had 36 people time out against me, but I didn't time out with anyone.

Did anyone else suddenly experience some game time outs??? At exactly 6:20pm Eastern U.S. timezone, I timed out against 8 people, and 2 people also timed out against me (at this exact time too)

I KNOW this is a mistake, because the first thing I do when I come to brainking, is sort my game list in order of when it times-out, and I first move on any games with less than 2 days left, before moving on any others..
I know that last night before I went to bed I had tons of time on all my games!
I've already written to Fencer, I just was curious if anyone else experienced this..
I just hope my BKR's can be fixed.. it killed my halma ones!

Last I heard on eddie he was pretty upset about the loss of games in the crash and from what I'm told hes back playing lots of games at GT again., Hopefully he will be back here regularly as hes a fun guy!

I have not heard from him for awhile. I know that he was taking a break from playing games, and resigned many games. Not too long ago (a few weeks I think), I ended up starting a round 2 with him, and he went ahead and resigned those games - so at that time he was still checking in....

Gan ddumuno iechyd a hapusrwydd i chi yn 2004.

I wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year. Please be safe as you ring in 2004. I do not want to lose any good players.

Thank you Fencer Stastny Novy rok

I know by the time i wake up it WILL be New Year...so enjoy it at my expense LOL

Linda: Stastny Novy rok :-)
