pgt: ' i've been following this forum with interest for a while.'
:-) Me too! I love storms in a teacup :-)

pgt: try playing on dailygammon, it’s brilliant when it comes to auto passing etc. Unfortunately there are no hyper backgammon games there :(

pgt: It has been programmed that way in case the losing player would want to use the cube to double, even though they are stuck on the bar... I guess it could possibly happen but only extremely rarely, as in nearly never. A bit of a programming cop-out, I guess.

Clandestine 1: There's something very fishy about that player's luck.

Tell it how it is, LOL :)

Carl: ilsta, pestope and pevepe are one and the same player .

Home of the one-sided games with one player having all the luck while the other gets the worse dice possible; that's Brainking :-)

AlliumCepa: 'It takes brains to identify doomed game, dignity to admit their approaching loss, and respect towards opponents' time.' ... Exactly! Well said.

Clandestine 1: Swelle is the actual dice man.

Hrqls: You're right, your opponent should have been given 2 points, not 3.

pgt: In the first page you get to when you create a new game make sure you 'untick' the 'Include unrated players' button which in always pre-ticked, only then will your upper and lower BKR filter work.

pgt: LOL ! So true. It's always best to avoid tournaments for that very reason. Quite a few players get it arseways and think the point of games is to wait until the very last hour before timeout to make a move.

Thom27: Thanks for that. Overall I find the dice on Brainking to be quite natural, they feel random and honest enough; it would be nice to always win but that's not the way it goes with a dice game, however good a player one is. The only truly dishonest and unnatural backgammon dice on the web is found on DailyGammon: Play there for a week and you will come to cherish the odd dice idiosyncrasies on Brainking!

Thom27: 'Serious play of Backgammon - or any other game with dice - is not possible here'
Why is that, in your opinion?

Pedro Martínez:
LOL

alanback:
Point taken.

wetware: The dice is a total joke on this website. It just doesn't feel right. I have never been one to whinge about backgammon dice before playing on Brainking. I know it is supposed to be random but it just isn't, it is skewed.
