I had trouble with PayPal. The froze my account and accused me of laundering money. Ha! I've seen people do it in movies but wouldn't have the slightest idea how to do it in real life. I hate PayPal!

I think with paypal it's a case of 99.9999% of the time there are no problems, but with any unlocal system (as Fencer has experienced) they can get it wrong. And with a lot of companies (and as witnessed owner/directors/politicians) they don't like admitting they've got it wrong.

Thom27: I have just looked it up Never heard of it before. It seems a sort of cross between Chess & Jungle (with some Breakthrough in as well lol) from what i have read. I know Fencer has many games on his list that have been asked for, and i guess its a case of when he gets time, and which ones he chooses.

I must say though, this game 'Arimaa' does look fun, interesting and hard

I suggest implementing Arimaa. Till September is plenty of time to cope with the complexity of this game.

Edit: link to Arimaa

I suggest increasing all ratings by 10 points.

Fencer, as Brainking is going to be 10 years old in September , can we come up with something to celebrate ?

firedragon764: no problems with paypal for me as well ... just that i always forget my password

last time i used it without my account though .. did the payment via paypal, but just by inserting my creditcard data, no login required

Gabriel Almeida: Purple's feeling blue. So if he writes in red, he'll be back in the pink. ;)

thanks guys! So no problems with Paypal for brainking? Just making sure :)

Bernice: same here.. not sure exactly how long but have not had any real problems

rod03801: I agree with ROD...if you do the right thing by them they will definately look after you...Ive been using them for much more than 10 years and no problems :)

firedragon764: Personally, I've been using PayPal for at least 10 years, for many many things, and have never had an issue.

Purple: I own a german bank account but I live in the US (which is uncommon but not illegal, I understand), and when I tried to connect that bank account to an PayPal ID, they asked me for a verifiable German residency address. As I couldn't provide one, they declared me a fraudster, and not only locked my eBay account too, but informed the police. Now they are not willing to discuss the case in anyway anymore.

Aganju: I have never used it but more than one person has BAD things to say.

firedragon764: I do have problems with PayPal and I hate them .
But that should not affect anyone else. I know at least two people that used it without issues for BK last week.

worked fine with me a couple of weeks ago

furbster: awesome! Does paypal work smoothly with brainking or do people have any issues with it?

firedragon764: paypal is back now

Hello everyone! I'm thinking of buying a membership but I'm not sure if they have a paypal or credit card option? I remember long ago I think paypal was removed or people had problems with it. Just want to make sure before buying if paypal is available and theres no problems :)

MadMonkey: Thanks. Will try.

Purple: Just above the message box we type in is a link that says Switch to rich text editor .....have a go at that, its very similar to using any sort of Office or Graphic program

But thanks for trying to help.

Why should a purple player want to write in red? just thought I'd ask

gogul: i do it that way or Purple could use the Rich Text Editor

Purple: ;) http://i.brainking.com/albums/23501-24000/23651/1854/photo-1325511795352.png

Happy New Year!

MadMonkey:

Tomorrow, we will open a new book. It’s pages are blank. We will put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day 2012.

Add Google Chrome as a permitted program in your firewall's or antivirus software's settings. If it is already a permitted program, try deleting it from the list of permitted programs and adding it again.

Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): The connection was reset.

Mélusine: I thought about that, yes, and I actually know a family that does it. I meant that all three in combination give a pretty good indicator (and members of the family might even play each other a lot, which is absolutely ok). So maybe there are more indicators needed...

Justaminute: You forget the eternal premium members, 106 other Black Rooks and a Black Knight.

Justaminute: Good point! Although some paying members are no longer active.
