2 games with FC: 21days/18hours/31days23hours - Last move of my opponent - 2 march 2014 1:56am. My timed out - 2 march 2014 8:30am. - Last move of my opponent - 2 march 2014 1:56am. My timed out - 2 march 2014 7:40am. Why? I should have minimum 18 hours for move
Purple: I think he is talking of someone else. Barb use to have The friendship club 2 which is now the international friendship club. She has friends here from over 10 years ago. A very kind person
Bernice: Wow, I was just looking at a wiki page on GT for missing players. Nothing to do with the woman mentioned here, but just in general. It's always a little troubling when someone you've gotten used to on a game site suddenly (and often times, inexplicably) vanishes. I'll never forget about this one guy. I hated him as an opponent but we were such fierce rivals. Many of our games ended in draw. I was always up for the challenge. Then he wrote on his profile that he was embarking on a short vacation. Didn't think anything of it. One month passes. Another month passes. He's timing out in our games. This is odd because he was paid up well in advance. He was such a methodical and regular player. Never showed up again. Four years already. I always had a bad feeling something befell him. I'm glad Barb has such nice friends to think of her and keep others posted. Hope she recovers soon.
This message was on Facebook and I know she had a lot of friends on here...
******* This is Barb Schroeder Peterson daughter Jean. I wasn't sure if everyone saw this post or not, so wanted to put it on Mom's FB page. This is what my sister, Julie had posted earlier today. "My father asked to post this status on here. My family is dealing with a lot right now and prayers are in great need. My mother was at the rehab center for care after her surgery and this morning she had a medical episode and was taken to the hospital. She is in critical care right now and the next 48 hours will tell what will happen next. I am sorry to post like this but it is to difficult to contact each person right now. Please pray for mom." We ask that everyone keeps her in your prayers. ******

KasperNymand: Hmm. That's interesting. Of course I've been a rook for over 10 years lol. And I do always see bishops IN fellowships. (But that is possibly because they were already in there when they had a higher membership, and may not be able to actually participate) Someone else may have to confirm if I have given you incorrect information. If so, I apologize.
Have you tried actually joining? (Instead of just viewing)
rod03801: Then I think this sentence should be corrected: "You cannot join the fellowship because this feature is available for Brain Knight or higher membership level." It's shown when you view a Fellowship, without being a paying member.
Onderwerp: Yes that was me voting for Danica Patrick

I voted in a BrainKing poll, as I often do when they are available.
This poll was about Nascar, which I know virtually nothing about. Which means I probably (certainly?) should have voted for "Don't watch NASCAR". But I didn't. Instead I checked out the odds on some website that google gave me, and found out that Danica Patrick was only 40-1 against, and so I voted for her.
The missing subtext is that lots of people simple HATE her, despite her being a solid racer at worst. So I chose to be "that guy" who voted for her.
Carpe Diem: Quite a coincidence, I just came up against this very situation, and made a different move than I would have previously. But I forgot to follow my own advice and tell my opponent why I moved the piece I did. :(

Resher: This game was talked about in the Untouchables fellowship... I found it in the fellowship thread. That's how I know what happened.
Everyone interprets rules differently, that's why I asked for clarification in my original post. Also, per Aganju's request, further discussion should take place on the backgammon board: http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=26
(1) I don't know. You may have discussed the game in a fellowship. (2) The rule says that if (a) opponent has collected all his checkers onto the one point behind player's prime, then (b) the player must unblock a point in his prime to allow the opponent a chance to move.
The situation described as (a) did not occur in your game, hence (b) did not (or would not) have to be enforced.
Pedro Martínez: (1) How would cd power know I'd pointed out the rule to Zach then? I was guessing he had special status, rather than everyone could see the comments. (2) Why do you think that? Apart from one stone on my 1-point (which can't move) all other stones are behind a six prime, so can't move either. Please explain how you interpret the rule.
cd power: Thanks for finding this game - it's exactly the one I've been trying to find. Zach was very good about this game. He was about to win by just one roll, but because he had delayed unblocking by one roll earlier on, he offered a draw. So this shows it can affect the outcome - it doesn't just apply to hopelessly lost cases that don't matter.
(I didn't realise that you could read all our in-game comments - is that some special privilege you have?)

cd power: Actually, we should take this whole thread to the Backgammon Board; it is really not of 'common interest' to all BrainKing (-> http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=26)
Aganju: Here is another example (which I researched from a fellowship game) -- Resher pointed out the rule to Zach, and Zach later offered a draw in good sportsmanship because he didn't open up the spot on time. Click on move 25: Fevga (Zach vs. Resher)
cd power: you are right, it applies at move 27 (http://brainking.com/en/ShowGame?g=6542931&i=53). at move 25, White could still move 2 -> 1(which it did). Black correctly followed the rule and opened, right when required (but maybe accidentally?).
Marshmud: If you would be blocking 10, 9, 8 in addition, then he had no move whatever he rolls, and you would be required to open anyone of 10,9,8,7,6,5.
Roberto Silva: You are correct. Thus, I will take Pedro's advice from the other day and not take the rules too seriously! Thanks everyone for their input... I can close this case now :)

crosseyed: I'm sure there are other rules on this site that are not enforced. For example, in chess, perpetual check is allowed and can force a draw that way. In Chinese Chess, perpetual check is not allowed and the person doing the check must break it off... hence, no forced draw. However, even though that is a published rule for chinese chess, it is not enforced on this site.
crosseyed: There is another rule that says you cannot prime (completely block) your own starting board, meaning blocking spots 1 to 6 right in the quarter where you start. You can prime any other place on the board. This rule is actually enforced, even if you wanted only to move through the spot (which is incorrect I think), like when you have a double and you want to move through the sixth spot, temporarily blocking the section, and then move on.
