happyjuggler0:
I think Carpe diem's point is correct. If your opponent is not timing out they are able to handle the number of games they have chosen to play. If you want them to play a move every day play games with a 1 day per move time limit.

happyjuggler0: It can happen for a number of reasons. Some people like to have a lot of games on the go so they always have some to play. And some, like me, started out by signing up to a lot of tournaments without realizing what we're getting ourselves into. A lot of tournaments don't start for a number of days, or even weeks, and if you play a lot of different games, you can sign up for quite a large number without fully realizing what you've done. And I can tell you from first hand experience, once you dig a hole, it can take a long, long, long time to get out. I managed to get myself all the way up to 3,000+ games early this year, and it's taken me until now to get down below 1,000, starting no more than a handful of games in that time. When you're that far behind, you have little hope of doing more than keeping your head above water - this means that you're maxing out all your game times, and therefore they take much longer to complete, leaving you in the hole for that much longer. It's sort of a vicious cycle.

speachless: 16-968.

That is the number of games where it is your turn, vs the number of games you have to play where it is your opponent's turn to play.

I thank you for your implicit attitude towards making your moves in your games. Far too many players here choose (for whatever reason) to have more games that they have to play in than they can handle in a given day, or any time period for that matter.

Aganju: Thanks a lot Aganju. I'm relieved to hear that :-)

speachless: for each game. The clock always resets, after each game.

Hi, I have a question, if the time LIMIT is set to 15 days, but the game is a 5 games match, does it mean for every single game of those 5 the limit is 15 days, so 5 games x 15 days = max. 75 days? or is the limit of 15 days for all of the 5 games, so for the whole match?

Dear friends:
Trying to promote new memberships for my fellowship, I´ve created this Prize tourney:
The Chess Club (1. December 2013, 12:42:24)
Please feel free to invite all your friends (they must require membership to enter)
Regards,
tenuki.

Artful Dodger:

Fencer: Maybe Jackie Chan too.

Fencer:  Clicks the "LIKE" button 

Aganju: Only Chuck Norris could roll a nine on a 6-side die. Nobody else.
I've fixed it.

Something fishy is going on. When you check this move: <http://brainking.com/en/showgame?g=6535691&i=87>
my opponent had a 1 and a 9 (yes, no typo, a nine). There is no image for the nine (but you can check the link's name, http://i.brainking.com/back/small-die9-25.gif). She could not move the 9 either, for unclear reasons (she could have just beared off).
Did I miss something? Were the Backgammon rules changed? Or how comes you can roll 9s now?

Looks like the color codes are applied at Checkout, not when you put it in the cart. I tried to put several one-year rooks in the cart, at different times, having different colors, but the cart merges them together into the current color.
So if someone wants to buy multiple color codes (which is only interesting if you try to get them all, otherwise you would always use the highest), you need to checkout for each color separately, and produce multiple orders (I'm pretty sure you can still pay them all in one go).

Also, this means that if you are trying to catch the Easter-Egg bonus, you can already prepare your cart, and when it appears - even for 15 seconds only - you can just quickly check-out and get it. :-)

ketchuplover: Easter came early for you remember? You got the 125% bonus that is your good fortune that you could share with others if you must humbly request that all players become paying members. Or you could even pay for some memberships.

Aganju:

7 bonus conqueror/achievements costs 252 euros (saving 108 euros on the regular black rook price and spreading the payment through 7 installments) and can give the recipients an extra 47 to 61 months in addition to the 84 months) Howver black rooks have their own forum! Can you wait to join that excitement?

crosseyed:

My fortune only appears good

Aganju: You can buy then for anybody. The achievement is applied to the one who places an order and makes the payment.

ketchuplover: Or you could share your good fortune to other players that cannot afford a membership.

Aganju: Good question.

There is an Achievement which gives you a Black Rook once you have used (bought) all bonus code colors.
Question: does it also apply if the buys are for other players?
So, could I buy some one a rook for a year with the yellow bonus, later buy a rook for a year for someone else for a year with the red bonus, etc. and get the Black Rook for it? Or do I need to buy all those rooks for myself to get the achievement?

lizrising:

My current paid membership is my third.

ketchuplover: Give them 10 years like it took you. ;)

ketchuplover: Some people cannot afford to become a paying member.

that all brainking players become paying members. Thank you.

membership bonuses for white brain knights or 25% off bishop and knight memberships for current pawns. Thank you.

crosseyed: I see winter has arrived in BrainKing now burrrrr

Carpe Diem: Since I upgraded internet explorer I can't use the smileys in rich text but I can in plain text.

Thanks for the colour codes; I just renewed in October for 6 months, but now I'm good until July 2016!

Thad:

Thank you fencer for giving us the colour codes again.

In case you haven't notice, the codes for discounts are now active.

EDIT : Hmm.. well, I saw the lightbulb for a minute. But now I don't? Maybe they aren't yet? When I go to my shopping cart, it does say purple code right now though.

Can you enable videos on this page please Fencer
