Hrqls:You lose 20 points each time you do that.

Hrqls: Give it a try! I don't know if it's going to work with the Icelandic birds though...:)

Hrqls: "what if i whistle the dutch anthem while i am on my profile"

Yes, that should work. :-) It just depends on the nationality of the person whose profile you're viewing. It's the control shift click on the lower left corner of the image that activates the sound recorder and song analysis scripts that Fencer's written. If you get close enough to the right anthem ... bonus points!

Pedro Martínez:10 seconds before a moderator jumps in ..... 8 .......5 .....

are you kidding? they're all too busy clicking and whistling

rabbitoid:

Common Rose..... where is the "off topic" "move the idle chat to another board" warnings????

playBunny: ah! i got it! its a bit more than that .. i have to find a player for each nationality on here and whistle its anthem :)

----> (take it to General Chat)

Is that OK? (Don't forget to answer on General Chat!)

Marfitalu: does it contain more than 1 tone ? .. hmm then its too tough for me ;)

oops sorry, i got here via another link and didnt realize it was the bk board instead of the chat one .. please delete this offramp remark :)

With the "Server News" section on the main page...
It is soo large that I cannot see my games. I like the monthly actions so I don't want to turn it off...but...I want to be able to see my games without having to scroll all the time. I was wondering if it could be summerized with a link to see all the details?

Summertop: You have Fencers news in the link above, "What is new", so you can delete it and get it from there.

Summertop: If you click "remove" on the Server News section - the game will still work.

Just look at the "What is new" link if you want to view the information again.

Summertop: Click "hide" just below the Server News...they'll disappear. You can always see them in the What's New section afterwards....

BIG BAD WOLF & Pedro Martínez : Yes, I know I can do that. I don't want to turn it off, remove it, or hide it. I like it. I just don't like it so big that I can't see my game list.

Summertop: Well, that's a dilemma, isn't it? Maybe I could add an option "show only a short excerpt" with a link to the full version.

Fencer: Not as bad as my other dilemma...Do I do the work I'm paid for, or do I play on Brainking?

Summertop: "I like it."

Print it out and it stick up next to the monitor. It'll help solve that second dilemma by keeping you focused on BrainKing and away from the distraction of work! ;o)

playBunny: Great mind!

When will we be able to get the secret action points with firefox?

WatfordFC: do you know if anybody has found it at all ?

Give me a hand here please.I have a game on my sheet that hasnt moved in almost two months.Its set on the auto vacation but its only a 3 day game.Also this person hasnt played a game since June.Whats up with this?Thanks...MULEMUFFINS

MuleMuffins: she only has one day left of vacation days so wont be long now ;)

Jason: Yes, quite a few have ,i know too, but cant get them as i use Firefox

THank you,thank you,thank you!! lol!

I will be glad when Action Points finish, then people might start talking to each other again

WellyWales:

WellyWales: What has "Action Points" got to do with people talking?

I talk to lots of people

Because we are all to busy playing games to get the action points, so we havent got time to talk.

WatfordFC: Oh Yes You Have lol

Jason: Well i had time to send u a PM, yes lol

WatfordFC: All?? I'm not.

I talk to my friends they come first in my book the points don't bother me, if I want a membership i'll just buy one. I haven't the time for these points even though I think it's cool thing Fencer has done

Why buy when if u have some fun you can get one for free.

WatfordFC: I haven't the time I have kids.

I would think the majority of people on here do have kids that play,, like me for instance, but still find the time to have some fun on here getting action points.

Sorry I spoke

WellyWales:

WatfordFC: Your kid plays here?

I still don't get the time to get addicted as I have my teenage nieces visiting all the time during the summer holidays.

It's a nice and Quiet day today bless. Whooooo hooooooo

WellyWales: Moody? :(

Sorry i will re word that. I would think a majority of the people that play on here have kids too.

This chatting belongs on General Chat, Members Only, or PM please!

rod03801: Yes sir

rod03801: okie dokie

why does the player list not ever get updated to the point that registered players, after having not moved in 3-4 years, get dropped from the list?
...out of the first 300 or so registered users, only 50 or so still play or played within the last 2 months...
...I think after a year or so, they should be dropped from the list, as they may never sign in and play, there are probably a million reasons why...
...one particular ID I know of is one I created, when I wanted to test a 10 game theory... I tested 10 games and quit playing... since I have forgotten the password and or the email address I used when creating it... I know it hasn't been played in 3+ years... and I have no desire to use anymore...
...these ID's (stagnant for a year or so) could be eliminated, or put into two lists( archived players, and active players)...
...I'm sure there are many such ID's as mentioned, and would be easier to see just how many serious players are here at BK... without inflating the #'s...
...any thoughts?...

LionsLair: One of the reasons is that BrainKing keeps a history of all past games - so when you start to delete players from the database, their games that are attached to those games start to mis-match and such.

Which I'm sure there are ways to get around it and such, but the much simpler solution is just not delete them.

In the players list, you can sort by the last action to easly see how many "active" players are still on the site and such if you are looking for those typs of stats.

BIG BAD WOLF: so, 10-12 years down the road these players are still on the list? ...doesn't make much sense, but if that's the reasoning behind it...
I never thought of the last action link... made things much easier for my research, thanks... :o)
...here's just some quick facts I found...
...4,225 players have not moved since this date last year( leaving 26,202 that have)
...18,606 players have not made a move in 2006(leaving 11,821 that have)
...25,479 players have not moved in the last month( 4,948 have)
...26,499 have not moved in two weeks(3,928 have)
...and 26,745 have not mved in the last week( 3,682 have)
....what do these #'s mean, not much, but it answered my question of approximately how many serious gamers play here.... drawing the line at two weeks without playing, that leaves about 4,000 players that play on a regular basis.... :o)
strange and useless info I know, but it could be helpful when setting time parameters(limits) for games...

WatfordFC: Soon, where I improve the JavaScript code.

Fencer: OK, thank you very much

LionsLair: Just to modify a bit the "useless" (not really useless) info, this is August, and the number of players preferring to grill a bit in the sunshine instead of hacking at a keyboard may not be negligible.

Since setting up a fellowship, my smilies wont work and when i switch to rich text editor there isnt a window to type in.
