This El Putanthon aka Paulo Gomes aka Stevie2 aka Rascon aka Ricardo Oliveira aka whatever is already getting on my nerves. I'm sorry some of you think it was "very inappropriate" to post what I got from him on here, I don't feel it that way but that's because of our cultural and linguistic differences. I accept it and try not to do it again...hope you're not mad at me...

Sorry Pedro, I realise you only posted it to show people the type of messages this person is sending, but words and phrases like that shouldn't be on here.

LOL, thanks Harley :-)

Please at least edit it.

Pedro, It is very inappropriate that you post that here! A complaint like that should be sent to Fencer, personally, rather than here where anyone any age can read it.

15. Kasım 2004, 17:27:01

put them on enemy till Fencer sorts them Pedro

Thank you Fencer.. :)

Konu: Re: a possible bug...???

Yes, seems to be. Can you post it to the Bug Tracker?
I'll swap the dice manually.

Konu: a possible bug...???

In a crowded backgammon game #515641 my opponent is offering a draw.. I am attempting to switch the dice and not take the draw offer.. But when I click on swap dice it takes me back to my game page...Why can I not swap dice in this game??

Konu: Re: pics

I was trying to come up with a list myself of who I know has a "bigger" picture - was going to post it in the "Members only" board and hopefully have people add to it when they add one (that way we do not have to keep searching over and over) :-)

Who I know of so far:

Fencer, BIG BAD WOLF, panda, cariad, bumble, bobes, Stevie

15. Kasım 2004, 16:12:15

MagicDragon

I wouldn't want to have a bigger pic of myself! LOL In this 1, I was a little let just say a "little" sloshed when it was taken :)

15. Kasım 2004, 16:09:45

rabbitoid

Konu: pics

is there any way of telling who has got a large pic except going to the profile and trying the sensitive spot?

15. Kasım 2004, 15:23:21

Artful Dodger

nice work kevin!

15. Kasım 2004, 14:00:43

cariad

Hahaha! That was my first day back home after the sizzling sunshine of Builth Wells! Yeah right!

15. Kasım 2004, 13:36:09

Hey Cariad
You look a little sun burnt in yours. Do you live in the wet and windy country or the hot one at the mo? LOL

15. Kasım 2004, 13:24:09

cariad

They're not. As long as you're a paid member (knight or rook).

15. Kasım 2004, 13:22:54

ah sorry i didnt know about the bigger pictures being for the golden (forgot the name :)) members

15. Kasım 2004, 13:19:15

ohhhhhh even me? LMAO maybe youll have to make it wide and short rather than tall and thin LMAO

15. Kasım 2004, 13:17:39

Sure :-)

15. Kasım 2004, 13:13:13

Konu: Send them to info@brainking.com. 40x50 and 200x300 pixels.

oooooooooh does that mean we can all (paid members) have our bigger piccy up now ? :oD

15. Kasım 2004, 11:22:46

15. Kasım 2004, 11:22:15

I prefer to have them mailed.

15. Kasım 2004, 11:19:27

thanks! nice table ...

just found out most of it myself .. nice summary :)

i still have to make the pictures to the right size .. do you prefer me to mail the actual pictures or send the url of where they can be found (can be direct linked) as i will place online on photobucket to use in other places as well

15. Kasım 2004, 11:13:51

I've also added a table of membership advantages and features, created by Kevin.

bumble

Bobes pic shouldn't be allowed. He looks way too intelligent! Oh well

another criterion: you must assume considerable concentration while playing chess (Bobes)

15. Kasım 2004, 11:13:02

Btw, there is a proposal of new User Agreement provided by BIG BAD WOLF. Since it's more up-to-date and easier to understand than the current one, it will be officially released soon.

bumble: You forgot Bobes :-)

15. Kasım 2004, 11:02:18

bumble

Konu: Hot spot image

The criteria are: you have to own the site (Fencer), be a god (BBW), be fat(!) (panda), pretend to be sweet and innocent (cariad) or look like a complete twonk (hmmm....).

15. Kasım 2004, 10:53:40

thanks

15. Kasım 2004, 10:51:41

Konu: rookie questions : image

- how can i get an image next to my name ?
- how can i have a second image under image in my profile which will show up via javascript ?

14. Kasım 2004, 21:39:02

My line4 rating never increases by more than 8 points, so it is stable. But I can get those 8 points from a win against a 2000 player or a 2300+ player, it makes no difference.

If there were all these fractional points that I am getting, sometimes I should get +9?

And the game with TheBig O that I mentioned was Spider Line4, played when my rating was provisional.

14. Kasım 2004, 21:32:53

coan.net

It also looks like you have already played over 130 games, which will also make your rating more stable (Will not fluxuate as much).

Sprayman already played about 40 games, so it should fluxuate a little more then you, but with a draw - it would be a lot less - very possible under 1 rating point of flux.

14. Kasım 2004, 21:30:19

357 is not enough. You would lose at least one point if sprayman's rating was below 1800 or so.

14. Kasım 2004, 21:29:21

Konu: Or how about this:

"The game is a draw.

BuilderQ: old BKR = 2061, new BKR = 2061 (0)
TheBig O: old BKR = 2430, new BKR = 2430 (0)"

14. Kasım 2004, 21:22:43

Konu: Re: Ratings

"The game is a draw.

BuilderQ: old BKR = 2319, new BKR = 2319 (0)
sprayman: old BKR = 1962, new BKR = 1962 (0)"

With this sort of rating difference, how could our ratings only change by fractions?

14. Kasım 2004, 21:18:43

coan.net

Konu: Re: Ratings

BuilderQ - point 4

14. Kasım 2004, 21:16:47

BuilderQ: What is "hundreds"?

14. Kasım 2004, 21:10:54

Konu: Re: Ratings

Why is it that I can draw rated games with players rated hundreds of points above or below me, without either my rating, or my opponent's rating, changing? Which of BBW's points explains that?

14. Kasım 2004, 20:44:45

Pafl

Konu: Re: Ratings

"easy to understand" is not a quality of the rating formula ... rather of the one who uses it LOL
No, sorry, I do not understand it either :-) ... but I think the BK formula works well ... if you go through BBW's points carefully, you will find answers to all that doesn't seem "reasonable" to you ...

14. Kasım 2004, 20:29:16

Konu: Ratings

Why doesn't BrainKing use a simpler rating formula, which produces reasonable results while being easy to understand? See http://www.uschess.org/cc/ccratefl.php

Konu: Re: time zones

You are right, that we are GMT +13 so doesn't work for NZ. Our daylight savings time changed beginning of October, when we put clocks forward an hour. Just means I have to remember that when the clock says 11pm it really is midnight lol.
