Like his profile says "my bark cAn be noisy"...nothing BUT noise. This was such a peaceful place, one common element chages all. Keep guessing, hint: no hint.
has this place gone mad??????.....I used to look forward to the 4-6 messages that were posted each day onthis board and now find im having to read all sorts of c rap that has nothing to do with anything as far as i can see....Fencer put a stop to the spamming and lets all get on with it:)
fencer, please dont allow this stuff here. Once it starts its like an infection. I TOO enjoyed coming here for the reason that it wasnt like IYT on these boards...
I agree with Rose and Erika. I too came here to get away from the nastyness and now all of a sudden it is starting here. Didn't have this problem before. Must be contagous.
Cant you people take it to private chat? A lot of us had hoped this site wouldnt turn in to another IYT - with all the slamming, nastiness that is on their boards - so lets play nice.. if you cant then at least take it to private chat.. none of us members need or want to read this crap.. thanks
that's not only a brainking feature ;)
just hope she makes it finally to leave me
alone and remembers these boards are monitored
and, as I assume, don't grant any mobbing ... ~*~
Surely you didnt assume he found a real life?...and yes, the poison of IYT has washed up on the shores of BK...also making friends everywhere he goes, ahhh some things never change.
Goldtoken also allows the illegal move. I would like to note also that a lot of players do not realise it is an illegal move as they have never played on a real board. So they figure if the site allows it, then it should be. I am hoping Fencer fixes it soon :-)
A player must use both numbers of a roll if this is legally possible (or all four numbers of a double). When only one number can be played, the player must play that number. Or if either number can be played but not both, the player must play the larger one. When neither number can be used, the player loses his turn. In the case of doubles, when all four numbers cannot be played, the player must play as many numbers as he can.

I'm not sure either - here usually we play it
the other way: of course everybody may choose
freely which dice to use first ... but I heard
of a different interpretation as well ... ~*~
(I could be wrong since I'm not a gammon expert, but I'm pretty sure this is against the rules... please correct me if I'm wrong)
Lets take for example if you roll a 6 and a 2. Lets say only 1 of your checkers are able to move 6 spaces (and many to move 2 spaces)
So instead of moving that 1 checker 6 spaces, you move it only 2 - leaving the "6 dice" to do nothing, and you end your move.
I believe the rules are (and again, I may be wrong) - If possible, you HAVE to use both dice when it is possible. So the software should "MAKE" me move that 1 checker 6 spaces, and also move a checker 2 spaces.
I have seen this happen in 2 of my games here so far.
I'm having trouble with ALL my games, if I click on 'move and go to next game' I get a white screen, same if I click on 'move and go to main page'... or to a named game. Its taking me ages to get any moves done!
What point was I trying to make by rewritng them? Well take a look at the very next thing I wrote - "Simple Suggestion: Just don't go there no more". If someone does not like a site, do not go there! (At least I think it sounds simple enough).
It is a game site. If you don't like how it is ran, don't go there. They have non-paid memberships so everyone can try out their site before they pay. If they do not like it, well try another place - there are more and more turn-based game sites comming up (including this great place - BrainKing).
As for the negative thing. When I see a post that puts down one site, and then turns around and tries to promote a second site - I PERSONALY feel that it reflects negativly against the second site! I know not everyone will agree with my view (and that is fine), but to me it just seems like the second site has people go out and destroy the first site. Even though the second site might not approve of what is going on (which I have not heard how BrainKing feels about it) - but to put down IYT and turn around and tell people to come here looks very negative to me.
I mean if you are going to do that, why not also post the bad stuff about BrainKing???? Don't get me wrong, I love BrainKing - but there are bad things here also. Why not include how it is hard to follow threads in the message board? Or how the Backgammon games will let you make illigal moves? Or how they also limit their free users - and you can only join 1 tournament at a time as a free users (and even if you are out of the tournament - you can't join a second one until ALL users in a section are done - not just you).
Bottom line: All sites are different (THIS IS GOOD). People should try all sites and play at what they like best. For example, I do not like to play at GoldToken. But, every once and awhile I will post a message on IYT about different turn-based games sites. I include GoldToken, LittleGolem, DailyGammon, and now BrainKing. Even though I do not like all the sites - everyone should find what they like the best - and if you do not like it, DO NOT GO THERE! (sounds so simple.... but I guess it is not)
And again - I know not everyone will agree with my opinion, and that is fine. Good Luck in your elimination plans of IYT.
Whisperz - Well all the brunette pieces squealed (they would, wouldn't they) but the brunette bishop was a proper wuss!
I'm glad they haven't got Janus chess there. Imagine grabbing the King's Janus...
The blonde pieces, though, were very obliging.
you did not smile and did not say please
indeed that makes it difficult to respect
either your flawly summary or your
futile attempts to command me ... :) ~*~
PS:
exercise that grin yet
a bit before publishing .... - please 0:)
as blonde gurlz seem to be a feature here 0:)
I'd like to balance your effort by providing
the blondes joke to end all blondes jokes ...
________________________________________
There was a blonde woman who was having
financial troubles so she decided to kidnap
a child and demand a ransom. She went to
a local park, grabbed a little boy, took
him behind a tree and wrote this note:
I have kidnapped your child. Leave $10,000
in a plain brown bag behind the big oak tree
in the park tomorrow at 7 A.M.
Signed, The Blonde
She pinned the note inside the little
boy's jacket and told him to go straight home.
The next morning, she returned to the park
to find the $10,000 in a brown bag behind
the big oak tree, just as she had instructed.
Inside the bag was the following note ...
Here is your money. I cannot believe
that one blonde would do this to another !
that's idle - got used to it ... :p
I CERTAINLY won't disturb in any of
your fellowships created and, I doubt you
found the time to read yet before blasting ...
as I happened to express my pleasure
of finding features here, that I missed ...
and I CERTAINLY will give note about
my developing opinion ... as mentioned
Humble, honest and supported. Let's talk about how good this site is and give thanks to Fencer for the great work he does and how he responds to all suggestions.
Hey! I thought the title of this message board was BrainKing.com.(Board for everybody who is interested in BrainKing.com itself, its structure, features and future) Doesn't IYT have it's own gripe board, Maybe we should ask Fencer to create a new board just for those who wish to complain about IYT or better still lets have a seperate board for danoschek then if anyone wants to read his constant drivel they can add it to their favourites.
This site speaks for it's self, Fencer has done a great job and i'm sure it will continue.
YES! Some sites are better than others (Some MUCH better) But why clogg up the message board with constant complaining?
If you don't like a certain site then DON'T PLAY THERE!
Lifes too short
GET OVER IT!
Just my humble opinion :)
