The official entry deadline has passed, but i still must verify all of the current entries. So if you still want to enter, you should be fine if you send it in in the next few days. The winners will hopefully be announced on Monday (March 22) or possibly Sunday (March 21).

Details about how to enter can be found Here.

I have started a new Fellowship for anyone intersted in Scrabble. Just pop along and ask to join. We will be holding tournaments and hope to run a ladder system as well. Of course we will also be playing all the normal Brainking games there as well.
So if your interested, just pop along to ! Alphabet Soup! Scrabble and have some fun with the letters :o)

Thank you Fencer.....appreciated :)

I think its a cachee thingy, Bernice...
Most likely a WEBTV thingy too...
It happens to me , I am on WEBTV, and powering off, and other usual tricks work well to stop it from happening...

can someone tell me what this mean when you click on a game????
'item chosen can't be used'

yesterday March 16th my time BK was inaccessible all day...I checked with a couple of player on here via email and they said they had the same problem.

Thanks to all that enter and lots "O" luck.

If the people in my breaket could send the games back to me faster I will try to move this one a long as it seems that I'm the 1 holding the next round from moving on. AND S O R R Y e1 that I have not been moving faster. But BOSS = WIFE has been wanting more PR time with me...
:o{P``````

This is a copy from tourney board...

Thanks Fencer :) I deleted the tourney just in case it was a bug....if you want me to re-instate it I can...not a problem

Just a reminder that you have until this Friday (March 19, 2004) to send in your entries for my membership competition. Details can be found Here. Good luck to everyone!

The time does change. When setting up a tournament, I usually have it set to close at 8pm eastern US... When I look at it later, it is about 6 hours different. (earlier, I believe). So it seems to switch it to 8pm Czech time, or 2 or 3pm Eastern US time.

Who let Fencer have the flu???? *suspisciously eyes the room*

oh NO! a virus ridden programmer fiddles with the software. hit SAVE!!!

Bernice: I cannot swear on it but it's possible that the time is either converted to GMT+01:00 or shifted for your local time zone.
I will look at the source code when I get rid of flu.

Tournament "calling all reversi players #2"

I set the close off at 16th March 2004 at 1600pm

when i click on the tournament it closes on 17th March 2004 at 00.00.00 time :(
is this a bug? or am i doing something wrong?

When the subsequent rounds of a tournament get underway, are the most recent ratings used to sort the section participants?

It appears that from the $250 tournament that the original ratings used when it first began are being used to sort the seeds for the second round.

Is this the case?

Thanks.

Yes.

Are new pawn accounts accepted at the moment?

Yea, that's a known bug which happens every once and awhile. Once Fencer logs on, he can get it fixed. (You may also want to send him a message since sometimes he does not get a chance to read the message boards every day.)

yes there is 3 of each player there vitalik.. a bug no doubt!

Is it just me? i see everybody listed three times in the table

http://new.brainking.com/game/Tournaments?trg=2808&tri=9046

And czech time is : GMT + 1 Hour :)

Once a day, bwild. At midnight, Czech time.

how often is the most moves list updated?

maybe just the site hates me sooooo much then LOL

I have been having games re-appear steve.. but not finished ones...

i've had a couple times where in backgammon I move my first piece in a turn, and then after the move the dice turn up from the previous move. I hit the back button to start the turn again, this ussually takes care of it :)

Has anyone else had games reappear, that they moved or finished earlier in the day already (time warp type of thing) ?

I believe the "+ ##" is for tournament that have been "Closed", but just not started yet.

So I'm sure the +176 is just a bug which Fencer should be able to fix once he see's the problem.

I wonder Jason, if you signed for some tournaments that have since been deleted?
I dont know how that part of it all works...but if a tournament is deleted are all references and acceptances also deleted?

Total number of your started games: 227 + 176 (?)

?? i have looked through my profile and through the tournaments page at signed and waiting games but cant find a quarter of these (176) games is there a fault anywhere or have i got 176 games due to be added , if so i could do with finding them all to remove my name from a few .

BBW is a BRAINY guy of the site. Full OF Brains and Full of something else at times too. LOL Kidding Wolf.

..... or 924.43 Brains! :-)

Yup - ($34.71 US) That will continue to change up and down as the markets change. Hey, and if you are real optimistic, the US dollar may rebound and some day it will be cheaper for US$ then EUR$ (but don't hold your breath)

So 35 US dollars gets a 1 yr. Rook membership? (keep the change).

Great site, thanks for that harl! its better then the one I use!

xe.com is a very simple site for conversions, bwild. I have it bookmarked and use it all the time :o)

thx Niki ;)

$69.36 = 56 Euros

can someone tell me what 56 EUR converts to in US Dollars?

If you do not use pay-pal and want to send a check or money order please contact me, a mailing address will be provided.

<I have thought long and hard over this....
Ive been torn as to whether i should do something about this or not...
I have made a decision.
Sorry Harley.. i know this is probably off topic but in my mind it is for the good of BK>

A week or so ago Fencer warned a particular member after his mail box (email or PM) filled up with complaints. All went quiet...
This particular member and I had a difference of opinion, resulting in myself being unmercifully attacked at every post I made.

this is to inform Fencer it is happening in more subtle ways...as you can see

Pathetic Disabled Pensioners (Big Boss)

i was lucky to be able to copy/paste this before it was removed....I think Fencer knows who im talking of and I wont give his name here...he has embarrassed himself enuff...
im posting this here for the good of the site...i would like this person removed :)
please delete if this isnt in the best of taste, but a person can only take so much :(

ROFL...Fencer
not a bad idea tho :)....or pick the long/short straw?

Kewl... Thanks Bernice.. :)

Kevin???

is a really lovely Man who supports this site 100%.
If it wasnt for Kevin i wouldnt be a member....he paid for my membership, after i wrote a poem about him in a competition he held on here....it wasnt the usual tournament...this was a "tell me in so many words" thingy LOL...great guy :)
