Subject: fevga and plakoto errors
hi all, at first i hope you understand my english, that is more puzzled together as anything else...

since a week i had to report 6 plakoto and 2 fevga games to the tech staff because rolls were processed wrongly....

fevga-typical problems are: 2 rolls of 6+6 and 5+5 couldn't been played by the opponent, he had to pass over to me, even if we were already since min. 3 moves running the game, so it wasn't a pass over at beginning of a random game.... he you can see an example of the last passed roll:
Fevga (SolidGold vs. speachless)

at plakoto:
instead of trapping an opponents piece, you hit it, this happened on 6 different plakoto boards...

i went over some archived plakoto games and there i can see the problem sometimes too...

i'm interested if you are making similar experiences....

tech support told me to set the backgammon game setting to smal sized....but it was already, it's not that problem....

thx

speachless: Interesting. How many times have you read the Fevga rules before you started to fill my mailbox with "typical problems"?

Let me quote something:

"A player's first checker must pass the opponent's starting point before he may move any of his other checkers."

That explains the 6-6 "bug", right?

I would like to add that Plakoto and Fevga had been introduced here in February 2008, more than 4 years ago. I am sure that if these variants were as flawed as you suggest, some poeple would have probably noticed that a long time ago.

The bottom line - there is a special Backgammon discussion board which should be used for any further comments or questions. I don't doubt that regular backgammon players would give you any explanations better (and faster) than me.

Fencer: I appologize I did Fencer.... yes you're right with the Fevga Games, i know the rules but having problems with the plakoto games crashed me to analize the fevga games wrongly... and sorry i didn't realize you're having specific forum boards, i just didn't knew it...

i will follow the plakoto problem on the specific board... but sincerely, the game settings are already set AT SMALL, since beginning and how can i play properly plakoto, if i can't see the right situation? and there are also plakoto games which works properly...

so thx again Fencer for your precious time, i came to you cause i didn't get any answer from your tech support, since i told them that my settings are already at small position... so another player gave me the hint to email you directly...

so sorry again and take it easy, nobody got hurt or something
