ewwwwwwwww...bugs are icky get the bug killer someone LOL

sorry in rare form today :o(( heehehe

I'm really bugged by provisional ratings ... 0:) ... ~*~

It's a known bug.

I thought it is a feature - to show what provisional ratings are worth. :D ... ~*~

I've noticed this for awhile - when I go into the Ratings link, and click on "(show provisional BKR too)" - Battleboats Plus does not show up on the list for me.

You go harley!

OK thats enough. You've both had your say, any more will be deleted.

ok Fencer.
However it would be good to point out that if Bernice was so touchy, why did she feel free to hurl around abuse initially without thought of repercussion? She seemed to think it was fine to dribble about me taking meds and stuff like that and if you notice, she always seems to be the instigator.

Bottom line, if she just learned to keep her mouth shut and leave other people alone, then she wouldnt get anything back. There are always repercussions for things we do in this world.

Dont stir the pot and it wont stir back if you know what I mean and I think everyone noticed Bernices constant slanders of me. Shame shame shame.

LJ: Please don't use this kind of jokes here.

seems you misunderstood a simple light hearted joke Bernice.
If it offends you, I take it back
Sorry :)

I notice that LongJohn has deleted his post completely from tyhis board instead of it just having a *EDITED* on the message.

Thank you to all who had my personal details deleted from here, and as has been said on the Gen Chat board, it is in the hands of the Townsville Police :(

It is a sorry day when a person cannot play games for the sicko's that haunt the internet.

I would warn all on here to beware of LongJohn, and Im sorry Harley, but I do think this is in the interest of the BrainKing.com board.

I would also add that the address that he has and has posted on here is NOT my address :) the local phone book has that address and it has been wrong for the 15 years I have lived here :) hehehehe...thankfully I get my bills sent to a Post Office Box.

That's what steroids will do.

Is there something wrong with this list? Antje, had 706 moves yesterday. That is good enough for fiftyith place, but is not listed on the all time list. Antje also has a day with 1555 moves on it. Are you only allowed one listing? That doesn't make much sense. Each season's record should count individually. Babe Ruth had 60 homeruns one year. He also had a year with 59, and another year with 54. Until his record of 60 was broken in 1961, he had the top listing in the American for all three of those years. In the complete major leagues (This would be including the Natiional League) it was listed this way at the end of the 1961 season.

HR Player--------League

61 Roger Maris --American
60 Babe Ruth ----American
59 Babe Ruth ----American
56 Hack Wilson --National
54 Babe Ruth ----American

My point in this is those other years when players repeated leading the league were still good years and are listed in the record books. Shouldn't the same be the case here on BrainKing? Or maybe a second chart listing that includes the best daily listings of anyone for that day and allow them to have their name repeated if they qualify for it.

As an aside. The homerun record of Roger Maris stood for 37 more years until 1998 and has been broken a few times since by Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, and Barry Bonds.

yes, let me see here: ughaibu has played 300 games of loop, and the top guy has played 4. I think anyone can fluke out in a small sample size, which is one of the reasons I play these games for fun rather than ratings. My 1000 rating in Line4 should be ample evidence of that! I still think GothicInventor's rating is justified, because his sample size extends far beyond the realm of only a BKR.

Well, he won all his games so far, so that is evidence that he is a stronger player than any of his 4 opponents, who had quite high ratings. There is no evidence yet that any of those 4 (or any other player) is stronger than him.

Redsales is correct about provisional ratings often being nonsense, there was recently a new tablut player who after four games had lost three with me and won one with an unrated player, this was enough to occupy second highest rated position.

I agree!

for the new 'outbox' feature - finally the sender owns an original as well ... :) ~*~

Caissus, danoschek: the ratings are very front-end biased. It is possible to get an inordinately high rating with only a few games. See TOPGUN's provisional ratings (he refuses to play more than 4 games) as an example. However, I believe GothicInventor deserves that high rating!

No more off-topic, please.

I thought it was just me who took it that way

LongJohn, that is totally out of order if that's personal information. It also looks like a veiled threat to me.

I must not say on what bodypart I focus while dancing ... hehehe ~*~

Only if I want to keep my children quiet! :D

Edited because on re-reading it looked quite bad! No offence meant - honestly!

bumble: You want my face on your T-shirt? :-D

grumble grumble grumble grumble !! ... :P ~*~

Note: Fencer charges a €2 modelling fee.

How much for a Dancing Fencers shirt?

Aha,that`s the reason why the ratings sometimes are slope :-)

I like that one better than the original. LOL!

I had to start with 1520 after four wins and it took me half a year
to 2500, although I left mostly the strongest disassembled behind ... :D ~*~

Caissus: If it's a provisional rating after 4 games, it can be correct.

Dano,the fourth game was in 2003 against Chesscarpenter.

especially as only three are listed ... I refrain from comments to GI vs Nomad ~*~ 0:)

Fencer,there has played Gothicinventor four chessgames only and has as now a chessrating with 2641! Sorry but there must be something wrong!

Good thought there Kevin..

now I can sleep peacefully.. that is when it cools down enough to where I can sleep..
*wipes sweat off of forehead*

How do you know he wasn't going to? He hasn't released the mugs yet..! :-)

Kewl.. how come you didn't come to me for a design? *sneaky grin*

Nope, I think I like the decimal point where I put it better... ;-)

Kevin: You've made a typo, you wanted to write 9.99% off, right? :-D
Scarlet: Mugs are planned too :-D

Like 99.9% off? That sounds like a pretty good deal indeed! :-D lol

Then you can send me a special order and I'll make a special price for you :-D

And nice piccy there Fencer.. :)

Hope your store does very well..

Hey.. here's an Idea.. I could make coffee mugs for ya.. I just need a few small things.. such as a wheel and a kiln?? *giggle*.. ;)

*editing remarks* OOooOOPppPPSss Typo.. now fixed.. :)

I just noticed - it displays the "You cannot join this team because you're alredy in one of this game type" message beneath a team even if you're not a member of the fellowship. :-)

I noticed the drop down list only goes to 100 - what if I want to purchase more than 100? ;-)

Bernice: I am not sure about details but Lenka says that the blue T-shirt is harder to create. Don't ask me why :-)

Not laughing....but asking???

Why would I pay more for your Pic Fencer ( handsome devil LOLOLOL)
than for the BK logo?
does it get me a position on the BK board?... if so Im buying LOLOL
if it dont well I actually like the look of the SNAKE...on his own...with the initials of the QWERTY girl, the Bernice people?? and the other accounts of this particular person who takes his meds occaisionaly, also his/her pic...underneath
that way I could go to the local army base, and ask about this very deceptive person!!!!

to ME this would be good :)

then i would buy your pic Fencer :)....promise LOLOLOL
*edited for spelling ONLY*

I have added some pictures to the Store. Please don't laugh too much ;-)

I will add an option to enable this kind of sorting.
