cd power: It does if you wish to give away or sell the 2nd black rook!

thisbeme: On the paid member page, there is a drop-down menu. For 36 Euros, you get 12 months white brain rook, plus whichever applicable color bonus. For 360 euros, you get the "forever" black rook, and then you are done... bonuses do not matter at that point.... IF you are only buying for yourself... I see what Gabriel is saying... you can get another black rook forever and gift it to someone. I can not confirm nor deny if that is true... I trust Gabriel is correct then.

cd power:

The paid member page says "black rook forever"

My question was if a black rook is purchased what effect does the bonus code have?

Are you saying Gabriel is wrong?

thisbeme: No, the bonus codes are not "Forever" Black rooks. They are white rooks... red code = 2 years of white rooks. Purple code = 1 year + 3 months. Other codes = 1 year + whatever %. However, if you purchase every single bonus code, then you will get the black rook bonus (forever).

thisbeme: Red Bonus it's ok... 2 memberships forever. That's correct. You can offer the other one. Or you both (you and some other person) can buy it together, so it's similar to a 50% discount!

Red bonus = 2 membersips forever?

Green = Forever+ 1 month?

Purple = forever + 25% of forever = 2 memberships forever?

Blue = forever + 50% of forever = 2 memberships forever?

Cyan = forever + 75 of forever = 2 membership forever?

If you have 25% of inifinity it is still infinity!

rod03801: I am sure that #3 is the correct answer.

MadMonkey: I did a test tonight, and went through and only had 10 pawn games to move on, and they all came up, one right after other, using "move and go to next game with non paying member". Then, when they were done, it went to main page, as expected.

HOWEVER, I noticed that once I started then moving on my games, every time I submitted a move, it went to the next game with a rook (or whatever), instead of going to the Main Page. (I hadn't changed the default action).

So, I wonder if there's any connection.

So, what I found with "Move and go to next game with non paying member"
1. If it is from pawn game, and there is another pawn game it goes to another pawn game
2. If it is from a pawn game, and there is NOT another pawn game, it goes to Main page
3. If it is from a Rook game, and there is not a pawn game, it continues to just go to next rook games (or whatever level), without going back to Main Page.

I didn't get to test it, but I think #4 would be If it is from a Rook game, and there IS a pawn game, it would go to a pawn game, fine.

To me, all are as expected, except #3. To me it should go to the Main Page in that case, to be consistent.

rod03801: This is part of the problem. One of my Pawns moved earlier, and i went to play the next one, and it went back to Main page, so that worked, BUT it does not always do that

MadMonkey: Could it be that happens when you are out of "non paying members " to move with?
I haven't run into that problem yet, but I also haven't used that option as much as I usually do, lately. I've been pretty busy, so have been moving in order of time out most of the time.

Fencer: Although i thought the 'Move and goto....' were working correctly, the:


go to the next game with a non-paying member does work, but seems to have a bug in it, though i can not work out what


A few times recently, i have noticed myself playing Rooks when using that option, BUT its very intermittent, so unless you can notice the problem in the code i think it will be hard to track.

Gabriel Almeida: I don't know. I will tell you when it drops below 10.

BTW, how many bonus remaining, Fencer?

Bluefin: there was a restriction on the size of the pictures ... it was somewhere in the help of faq section, but i cant find it anymore

Bluefin: Well, if you don't have an album yet, you can click on Photo Albums in the left hand menu.

You will see a link to "Create a new album". Click that.

You will have the opportunity to name an album and set up the viewing settings

Submit that.

Then you have the opportunity to upload pictures. (Either from your computer, or by using a URL of a picture online)

How do you get the pics to a photo album ?

RED CODE again... how may remaining, Fencer?

SL-Mark: Aaaaaand counting! RED CODE turned on!

32 left

fukuhara: When one of the conditions (100 codes of one type OR 500 codes in total) is fulfilled, the action is over.

Fencer: Hey... nice counter! We ask, and you answer!

fukuhara: 33 left.

Fencer: How many red codes remain right now?

I've just made a quick look to the database and 51 red codes are already used. So there is still a time but it is getting shorter.

Skeeky: There is no set rule for such situations. Send me a message with details and we'll see what we can do.

Can any part of my membership be transferred to another player? Possibly for a tournament winner.

Thank you!

Then even black rooks can make great use of the action.

fukuhara: In addition, you get the achievement only after payment was received and processed, so the list is 2-5 days behind.

cd power: Oh, that way of thought never occured to me. Yeah 13+ for sure.

fukuhara: Maybe more than 13 people have already bought the red code. The list you show is only of people who earned the red code bonus achievement in the last few days. Some people may have earned the red code achievement long ago, and then renewed their membership within the last few days buying the red code, and they will not reappear on the achievement list (because they already have it).

Since November 16, 13 red code bonuses are used and 87 remains.

fukuhara: Not quite, as some people have taken advantage of a certain code but have already previously got the achievement! So it is still a bit of a mystery ;o)

Fencer: You don't have to repeat it... already done! :)

Gabriel Almeida: Now it's your chance.

Fencer: No eggs, I need a "flashing light". And I catch a red one...

Gabriel Almeida: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJcPp2aJf64

Pedro Martínez: What Vodafone commercial?

Fencer: You should stop looking at and watching that Vodafone commercial…

fukuhara: There will be an easter egg. This year.

Gabriel Almeida: I will add it soon.

Gabriel Almeida: You can check how many particular color codes remain by seeing your achievement stats.

fukuhara: That would be fair. And that achievment should be increased... I'm unsuspected to tell it, as I'm not on the run to get it!

I am still counting on color conquering achievement, but to achieve that it must be easter bonus. I hope easter bonuses (just limited easter bonus alone may be enough)

Skeeky: Well, if you purchased a membership, while you had the red code, you would get double what you bought.

I am always a little slow. I'm not quite sure how this bonus program works. I got the red code, what does that actually do for me?

Thank you

ok, got it :)
