playBunny: How do you know if you're extending your Pawnness into your own Rookhood or someone else's?

alanback: Lol. I don't believe you can extend your own Pawness into someone else's Rookhood! But as to who the extension is being applied to ... whomever you nominate.

playBunny: Anatomically, it might be more correct to think of extending Rookhood into Pawnness anyway . . .

Fencer....

If I buy a membership for someone else, can I have the bonus membership in my name instead of theirs, should it be given? Or even saved for use in a prize tournament?

Pythagoras: BBC :)

Czuch Chuckers: not to butt in here Chuckers.. but, I have recently purchased 3 membieships and have gotten the credit and the brains for each one.. just add a note to the purchase to credit your account with the brains and bonus..

Czuch Chuckers: No, this kind of bonus always applies to the user for whom the membership was bought. It is done on a system level.

Having just posted a redundant reply on another board, I'm curious about the possibility of editing or removing one's own posts. I sometimes see posts flagged as modified, but I haven't found any way to do this. Is this another feature which is only available to paying members?

I have my doubts about this tournament system .
I bought lots of memberships for different players with my credit card but since I'm not interested in administration things, I didn't know about the brain system. This means I didn't mention whatever I needed to mention to obtain those brains . Right : at this moment I got 0 brains so I cannot sign up for this "improved" tournament system .
Besides this , I'm afraid this kind of tournaments will create a small group of elite players ..those who got "brains" :))Playing for more brains ....
Oh well ....not my problem ...I will go on playing "normal" games, but I think I'll stop paying new memberships for belgian players who got no credit-card or players who are afraid for internet payments. No more renewals of memberships with my credit card .

ZEROZERO: The prize tournaments with an entry fee is just one small part of the improved tournament system. And, of course, nobody is forced to pay for other users.

Fencer: that's right ...and nobody "forced" me to pay lol ..I was only paying for those members because I wanted them to enjoy this great site and they didn't have enough money to buy a membership or they didn't have a credit card and so on .... at his moment I'm afraid when I see things like this happen .I think the whole "brain" system stinks .. When a player pays a membership for another person I think you should give the brains automatically ...OK...I didn't read the whole stuff about the brain system , cause, as I said, I'm not interested in all that administration rubbish ....but now , more than one year later I cannot sign up for those tourneys ...I think that sucks a bit :)
We'll see what other improvements are coming up but I don't have a good feeling with this first one :(((

ZEROZERO: If you think it stinks, don't use it. That's what BrainKing is about, everybody is free to use only features he likes. I think it's pointless to discuss in this way because nobody likes everything. Whatever your point is, I don't play to change anything.

Fencer: "everybody is free to use only features he likes."

Mostly true. Knights who only play a few games can't utilise the tournament system as they might like because of the one-per-game-type restiction. Eg, a Knight in a multi-year Backgammon tournament can enjoy no other.

Unless you've changed that somewhere along the line?

Fencer: I didn't ask you to change anything .I just express my "bad" feeling about this thing. I thought that's why we have "discussion" bords .

playBunny: Hmmmm, maybe I did.

Fencer: [Runs off to Membership Levels] "Hmm, nothing changed there, but then that'll be the last part of any changes. Where else can I look..?"

I wonder what it was you did..

playBunny: probably have to be a knight and experiment

I think this is a really cool thing to have, thanks Fencer... something different and fun to have a go at

furbster: I guess Filip just hasnt added it to the paid memnbership page yet hehe

furbster: I see 4 total, but don't know why.

BIG BAD WOLF: Where can you see these?

I just happened to be browsing tourneys but if you go on online players 2 are online

alanback: Just sort the player list by membership level. Black rooks show up among the others... there are 4 total

alanback: You can go to the player list ( http://brainking.com/en/PlayerList?a=ap ), sort by level type - the "black rook's are mixed in with the regular ones.

BIG BAD WOLF: So what does that signify?? I reviewed francescolr profile since he holds one of those black rooks.. and he doesn't have major membership years on his..

ScarletRose: I see it saying "forever". The question was brought up here on how they got it.

BIG BAD WOLF: Hmmm I see they have zero for brains also!! Just teasin.. but, they didn't show any brains.. Hmmm

okay.. I see the forever now.. I must have been lookin at the top activity line.. not realizing it! LOL

Dingy blonde I am

So how the forever occured.....? Fencer? Please hurry up since my curiousity is eating my body....
Also "forever" is not the most appropriate word for various reasons.....

I see Brain Golden Rooks too

They've been around for ages alanback! Price on thsoe are negotiated monthly or something

Pythagoras: Maybe.. Til death do us Part??

ScarletRose Mainly, but also to have on your profile a reminder that you are immortal and then realise that this is not true then....

Pythagoras: Maybe they have sold their souls to Fencer!

alanback, Fencer:

Im talked my self through some made up reasons, and im dying to know the real one lol

Fencer: LOL! But madPhilip you didn't answer how do they have Brainking Rook "forever"....?

I've now got to go offline hopefully by the time i get back it'll have been foudn out lol, bye for now all

Even Fencer's curious about who these Rooks are and what it means!

Buy 10 years of Rook membership and you'll get this Black Rook.
