You've got the Brains
Since the BrainKing's Brains (not "brains" as you know this word, but something like credits or points or virtual currency 
) have become more popular than ever, due to the recently launched actions, they are the current hot topic to answer some questions:
) have become more popular than ever, due to the recently launched actions, they are the current hot topic to answer some questions:- As I have already announced, there is a new option to earn Brains by writing articles for the BrainRook.com site. The option has been added to the Brains page as well.
- It is not possible to transfer Brains between users. It could be easily misused, for example if we create a simple action where everyone can win 50 Brains and ten people would make an agreement and transferred their prizes to a single person, he would get a free membership for nothing. In other words, your Brains balance is only yours and there is no way to share it with anyone else.
- It is absolutely impossible to convert Brains to a real money. BrainKing is not a bank and even if we want to, it would be illegal to keep Brains as a real bank account. The only way to spend Brains is on the BrainKing.com site and the list of possibilities can be found on the Brains page. It means that no requests like "I would like to withdraw my 450 Brains, please send the corresponding amount in Euro to my bank account" can be addressed.

hmm...what's wrong with the scenario in which ten people agree to give their brains to someone so he can get a free membership? isn't it all the same from brainking's point of view? those ten people have all done the actions it takes to earn those brains, most of which benefit brainking in some way...so what does it matter who uses the brains, as long as it's done with the consent of the people who earned them?

Nothing is wrong, it's just a rule. 
Since giving out the opportunities to get a free membership is a bonus, not a standard feature, we reserve a right to apply some restrictions to it, in order to keep the system balanced.
On the other hand, nobody says it will never change.

If those brains can be earned by pawns...someone could set up 10 bogus pawn accounts then pool the brains to their real account to get free membership. Of course, if brains can only be earned by paid members, Filip is still has his right to have restrictions on their use.

but my same argument still holds in that scenario: someone's got to earn the brains before they can be used, so it doesn't matter. if i want to work ten jobs at a time to make the money to buy a Bentley, that's my option...in order to make the money, i still have to do the work my ten employers want done...so they get their work done and i get my money and so my Bentley, and nobody suffers for it.
i mean, working ten jobs at a time would probably kill me and i probably wouldn't do a very good job at any of them, but these aren't factors in the process of earning BK brains.

Since a person can buy a membership for another, and since Brains can be used as currency on BrainKing, one can in fact use the Brains to pay for someone else's account.
And I don't see any harm in it

Of course. But to pay the full price, e.g. all 500 Brains for a 6 months Brain Rook, not just a portion of it. That's the point.
That's the point.Comments (4)
as long as BK is receiving 500 brains for the 6-month brain rook membership, what difference does it make whose accounts the brains are coming out of? currency is currency, regardless of who gives it to you. right? or am i misunderstanding what you're saying?

If the 500 Brains were given as a prize for free, BrainKing gets nothing out of it. That's what I am trying to explain. If we make a contest and 10 people win 50 Brains each and put them all together, one person would get a free membership but we don't profit on it.

well, okay, i can see that...but there are 500 brains out there that you've given away for free either way. because you've given those brains away, BK is going to give away 500 brains worth of something without profiting on it eventually, whether it gives it away to ten people 50 brains at a time or 500 brains to one person all at once. see?

But I don't think we could have an action where anyone could get 500 Brains for free. Then we could start to give free memberships instead. 
50 Brains can only help to reach a goal - join more contests, earn Brains in different ways, etc. But what is for free cannot be too valuable.

There are other ways to gain Brains... join a prize tournament, whoop your opponents and win the Brains, then collect them until you can get a free membership
