how come a lot of pawn's are in fellowships?!?!?!? i thought they couldn't join fellowships

they didn't renew their memberships, their name is there, but they cannot be active

Saruman: 10 to 1 they were members when they joined the fellowship.. and their membies timed out .. and they couldn't renew for some reason.. Hopefully since it has been summer and beautiful weather.. that has something to do with the delay in renewing.. :)

oh i was starting to think something like that

ScarletRose: I know at least one pawn that would be back as a knight or rook if the fund raiser for him would begin soon!!! ;)

ArtfulDodger: yep.. that might just be sooner than you expect.. haha..

Uh! Why then is paid membership increasing?

Your gonna get some that won't renew as a matter of course.

or come back as someone else.

ClayNashvilleTn: that is a great idea!!!
how does everyone like their crow?

ClayNashvilleTn: Yeah I remeber something like that once.. People were leaving because they weren't being paid enough.

The bosses doubled wages and the staff stayed.

Jules: hmmmmmmmm whats fencers private email add, maybe we all need to ask him for a raise?

bwildman:It is a good idea, wonder how we could go about doing that?

ClayNashvilleTn: Fencer could do an "auto-request"after the red reminder stops on their main page.then his data base would record the individuals reason for not renewwing.

bwildman: That sounds simple enough. It could tell him a lot. Could verify or discredit some of the things members have concluded.

Is that why the, How you like your crow remark?

ClayNashvilleTn:
it'll make my day!

I think its great that we are seeing so many new members!
Welcome to BrainKing!

its called life....some have one.Dont mean that as any kind of insult...but things change in our lives and sometimes so does memberships at BrainKing.Sure...in a perfect world,we'd be able to keep everone...but thats how it is.

bwildman: That's more work for Fencer.. we'll never get to see Pro Gammon!!

ClayNashvilleTn: maybe the 1st step would be to "stop bringing it up"?

bwildman: I disagree with that and let me tell you why, I think even a better idea is all of us as Mods to get in the MOD SQUAD, listen to each other, resolve the differences, apologize where it is necessary, forgive where that is need and all of us AGREE from that day forward to abide my the CODE OF HONOR.

THEN: the first one of us, regardless of who it is, that violates that NEW agreement be replaced.

Not all the Mods want to join the Mod Squad, so it can't be done that way. And you CAN'T force Mods to join.

ClayNashvilleTn: lets vote on it?
all those in favor of Clay going on and on and on and on and on...say yeah! LOL

Jules: good point.Its not the same since Nightstorm left.

I think this could be discussed at the mod squad? A lot of people won't even know about the fellowship or Nightstorm.

harley: thank you- I agree

baddessi: I agree too

who has an xbox ps2 or gamecube!?!!??!?!?!?!?!?! (dumb question but im bored)

Saruman: If you go to general chat...

http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=36

you can chat about games consoles all day
This is really for isues about BrainKing itself. If you have problems using any of the features for example.

ok sorry i didn't know i guess I'll talk about halo there

I have notice icon's that are not on the list... Is there another list to go by?

Daniel Snyder: Try pressing ctrl with F5 on your computer for a refresh.

Daniel Snyder: There really are smiles that aren't on the list. If you hover your mouse over a smile, a hint window will usually show where you'll see it's code. That way you can use it as well...

yes hover over this and you will see the 142 code

Jason: But that's on the pop up display anyway.

red dragon: it was just an example , last i looked it wasnt there , some have been added since

hello all i;am back again hope things have changed for the good LOL

I would like to know why tournies that had aready started now have (no days off). At least to me this is not right. If I wanted to play in tournies that had no days off I would have signed up for them. I see on this board that many people are leaving this site or just not renewing. This may have something to do with it. It like changing horses in the middle of the stream u can get wet most of the time u do. So now guess if I don't want to play in tournies that have changed. Guess some people playing me may get lots of win over the rules changing. I felt like this with the site. And now getting and and now for the rule changing after a tourney starts. Thxs for letting me have my say, now back to my corner I go. WoW made it back before some1 took my place on the cough.
over my feelings SORRY is just the way I feel. Again TYVM for the time to say my peice.

mrloupcity: I don't believe what you described is happening. Moreover, more people are coming to this great site than leaving (I mean paying members).

what do the red dots next to the time remaining for some of my games in my game list mean? no days off?

many thanks.

oh, and mrloupcity - i love the way you express yourself. :) great message (though unfortunately i can't shed any light on the problem you cite). :)

mrloupcity: Opps - just replied to your SAME message you posted in the tournaments board before seeing a 2nd copy here.

Basicly it should not happen. Tournament creators have no way to change the time a tournament has once the tournament is created. If you have examples, we could look at it a little closer since the only way it would happen is if it's a bug.

mrloupcity: You must be joking. It's not wise to make ridiculous statements about "changing rules" only because you didn't pay enough attention to the particular tournament time control before.
Moreover, it's really not funny anymore to write about "people are leaving". Everybody with a basic knowledge of the internet and its way of working knows that there is no site where people would stay forever. It's normal, it's nothing unexpected and I really don't force anyone to stay here if he feels uncomfortable.

plaintiger: Yes, it means there are no days off in the marked game. I've just added it to make such games easily recognizable on the game list because many people prefer to play them before the standard games.

Fencer: great. thanks, Filip.
