Tuesday: The link doesn't work any more but it's looks like he is an artist on there. I don't have Spotify, WiFi or anything like that anyway. Am definitely not down with the Kool kids. Am way behind.

Tuesday: Thank you

Mélusine: me simple also. hahahahaha but it doesnt matter as Fencer said years ago that this place was over...but he still takes membership money

Tuesday: I don't find where it is, what is this rectangular section you mention ? On which mode - castle ? simple ? - I must be ?

Tuesday: I did and the inks arent current

Tuesday: Is he singing on there?

Did anyone see that Fencer is now on Spotify? When you have no moves tl play, the message now says so.

I asked Rod about some SPAm a few weeks ago and he fixed...I think if you send him a personal message he would fix it .....he appears to be quite amenable these days.

ketchuplover: He defo deserves a free black rook membership and reimbursement for the glue.

Mousetrap:

Maybe he's glued to his chair

Bernice: About the only one that is. Deserves a medal.

Mousetrap: Rod is still here.....

Aganju: Best just blocking and deleting. Don't think many of the mods are arround any more.

darkpoema: is there a way to report spammers? So they get kicked to the moon right away?

@hrqls

Aganju: appreciated...., very much....

Bernice: "no days off". Vacation will not apply for such games.

what does it mean when there is a red dot against a game....been a long tme since I have seen one and have now forgotten

Happy new year to everyone.

furbster: Thanks again , it went through on another browser ! Membership renewed !

OK , Thanks

Bluefin: I've just tested it by gifting a brain bishop with paypal, it's all gone through just fine in seconds. Perhaps try a different browser?

Trying to renew my membership with PayPal for 3 days now. Won't connect ??? Anyone know about this or had same problem ?

MrDelete: Thank you and Happy New Year to you.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

Aganju: Yeah, I'm definitely interested. It's the "have the time" part that is the issue.

nodnarbo: after several years of declining, I got talked into it this year. And I love it, it's a lot of fun and challenging. If you have the time for it...

Aganju: I did the first 3 days. Haven't done it since.

Does anyone here participate in Advent of Code? (https://adventofcode.com/2021/about)

If yes, is there interest to make a "BrainKing" Private Leaderboard?

MadMonkey: Thank you for the explanations.

Mélusine: In one of the Fellowships you are a member of, just join a Random Game Team

Hopefully the Captains & Bosses will keep an eye on their Teams & we don't get too many signed up for a Team (Don't want to miss out)

Only ONE Team has 6 players at the moment, so there are plenty of choices of Fellowships to represent.

Of course, the Fellowship MUST have 6 players to enter the Tournament, so do not pick one of the less active or smaller Fellowships

MadMonkey: I’m interested in playing in this tournament and I would like to join a team. So I choose my team, is that it ? But the captain of the team must accept that I play, is that it ? Not sure if I understood correctly.

MadMonkey: Thank you to Marshmud.

Come on PEEPS............

OK Everybody.....our great friend Marshmud (Jim) has donated a year's membership for a Team Tournament...

Random 'Xmas' Team Game

After a few discussions we have come up with a 6 player, random 5 popular game Tourney (Backgammon, Battleboats Plus, Ludo, Dice Chess, Dice Poker)

Random 'Xmas' Team Game

So, each player of the winning team will get 2 months membership added to the subscription

Random 'Xmas' Team Game

So, PLEASE EVERYONE let us show some support, get some teams together & make this a success

As always, have fun & happy gaming all

Mélusine: Same here. When l go in the big I mean away. I am bound to time out.

I thank everyone who offers a prize for a tournament.
But me, I won’t join a tournament without vacation, as I go on holidays at least once in a year, and I don't play on Brainking during holidays (often no internet or else no time). If I join a tournament without vacation, then I’m sure to lose games at some point.
I think it makes more sense to reduce the time : 1 day for one move rather than 3 days, for example.
But this is just my opinion and anyway thank you to those who offer a prize whatever their choice of time.

Clandestine 1: 9 point w/cube backgammon prize tournament

Clandestine 1: I've worked it out with fencer. It can get split up among the team, I just need to send him the link when the tournament ends with instructions. Coan and I did so in the past with a team backgammon tournament..

we have several members who has mention a prize donation, including Rodney so for now we just need to plan what games, and we also are concerned about the time or length of the tournament. A Nackgammon 9 point will take several years, and I doubt anyone will want "no time off" but if your donating a prize, run it as you wish. Rodney, Ian and myself are just waiting for suggestions.

We could also offer several prize memberships in one tournament. Plus, Ive already spoke to fencer about a xmas pond tournament and that would end by the end of the year if played 2 day limit and we start it soon.

Marshmud: Jim, I’ll match your prize for the winning team. 

Ian, do you still want to keep the DEC gammon a 4 man team if we make it a prize tournament? Or shall we just fit in a separate xmas prize for the teams? I think using the betting cube with a backgammon would be nice. Maybe ask all the Bosses of the fellowships for input? Maybe the team captain can decide what to do with their 1 year rook membership.

beach: 9600 brains (prior to the cheating) would of cost 448 euros, or $520 USD. If you remember the rate was 6 euro for 150 brains, and shortly after fencer raised it to 7. But the reason he discontinued it wasn't for cheating. It was a feud with PayPal. The cheating came later on, and some of us still have those legal brains. The ones we bought. So fencer can still tell and still excepts memberships with brains, just very few.

Marshmud:  fencer changed it awhile ago because of the cheating, you cannot buy brains or purchase any membership with them, they are basically useless now that is why you can play in the tournaments requiring brains without having any now because they are meaningless

rod03801: Brains use to cost 7 euro per 150 brains. So since fencer shut it down due to paypal trying to imply brainking was a gambling site, and paypal is always right, your wrong so he just ended it. Recently some has figured out how to just get as many brains you want just as Smiler said. So Fencer doesn't honor those brains unless they are credit from the past. You cant use brains acquired that way. The brain purchase for membership is not automatic and fencer has to approve.
