Pythagoras: I believe the answer to 1) is that you don't actually buy memberships, per se, you buy membership extensions. It's just that with some people they are extending their Pawnness into Rookhood. So it would be B).
I asked a similar question to 2) and 3) way back whenever and got the answer "Fencer would work something out", so I'll be interested to hear any further elucidation.
I have 3 questions. If you are too lazy to answer all 3 then the first is of the most importance for me!
1)What would happen if someone with Rook membership, buy a 6-months Rook membership at 14 February while it still has 5 more months of Rook membership:
A)He would have, starting from 14 February, 6-months of Rook membership....
B)He would have, starting from 14 February, 11-months of Rook membership.....
A) or B) is valid?
--------------------------------------- --------
2)What would happen if someone with Rook membership, buy a 6-months Knight membership at 14 February while it still has 5 more months of Rook membership:
A)He would have, starting from 14 February, 6-months of Knight membership....
B)He would have, starting from 14 February, 5-months of rook membership and then 6 motnhs of Knight membership....
C)Something else.....
Is A) or B) or C) valid?
--------------------------------------- ------
3)What would happen if someone with Rook membership, buy a 6-months Maharajah membership at 14 February while it still has 5 more months of Rook membership:
A)He would have, starting from 14 February, 6-months of Maharajah membership....
B)He would have, starting from 14 February, 5-months of Rook membership and then 6 months of Maharajah membeship....
C)Something else.....
A) or B) or C) is valid?

alanback: Lol. I haven't got a lawyer's hat to be not sure with but that's okay - I'm already not sure that's true. I'm just remembering bits of conversation from the Feature's Board.

Czuch: One key aspect of Brains is that it isn't cash and therefore the tourneys cannot fall foul of gambling prohibitions. (Do a search for gambling on the Features Requests board where there was a conversation about it.)
Fencer: .

But Fencer you didn't answer my questions and as a most curious person i'm looking forward.....
To save you of the reading of my somewhat difficult to read posts here are the points:
1)Should in the:......
"a two year membership payment makes a good change to get the whole year for free"?
.......the word "change" should have replaced with "chance"?
2)There is not any 2 year membership available for buying! Only a ½ year or 1 year!
Do you mean buying 2 one year memberships at the same time......?
combining data from the brains and the paid membership pages:
- I could pay 18 euro for a year brain knight
or
- I pay 18 euro to get 540 brains, 500 of which I use for a year of brain knight and still have 40 brains
Pythagoras: I believe on your second method the odds are more like:
Probability of getting nothing for free = 25%
Probability of getting 6 months for free = 50%
Probability of getting 1 year for free = 25%

Also what do you mean there by: "a two year membership payment makes a good change to get the whole year for free"?
I don't mean that you should have changed the "change" with "chance" (a thing that you should do) i mean the following question:
There is not any 2 year membership available as i see! Only for ½ year or 1 year!
If you mean buying 2 one year memberships at the same time, then i have another strategy:
1)Buying 2 one year memberships at the same time:
Current COST = 2·28 = 56 €
New COST = 2·30 = 60 €
Probability of getting 1 year for free = 50 %
Probability of getting AT LEAST 6 months for free = 50 %
Probability of getting EXACTLY 6 months for free = 0 %
2)Buying 1 one year membership now and the other day another one:
Current COST = 2·28 = 56 €
New COST = 2·30 = 60 €
Probability of getting AT LEAST 6 months for free = 75%
Probability of getting 1 year for free = 25%
Probability of getting EXACTLY 6 months for free = 50%
So what we have is that buying with the second method 2 years, you get 75% of having at least 6 months for free or even 25% for 1 year for free. While with "your" proposed way we have 50% for 1 year for free but if we don't suceed we get nothing more....
I would choose my proposed way as i prefer better chances than better prizes, if actually you will allow the BONUS to be valid this way....According to the aforementioned rules for the bonus, my way is 100% legal.....
Fencer: In the Single Elimination Tournaments are the pairings done by taking every two BKRs (ie the top and 2nd, the 3rd and 4th, etc..) or by folding the top half onto the bottom half (eg, in a 8-player tourney, the 1st and 5th, 2nd and 6th, etc)?
i will say that now that i understand the new prize with an entry fee tournament model, i discover i would have liked winning those 200 brains as well! that kind of tournament sounds like fun! :)
very cool improvements about the place, sir. and thanks again for the bonus! :)
