Pythagoras: I guess so too! LOL...what a bad luck...

Czuch Chuckers: I just went through all the games you have played this year and you rolled doubles in every single one of them.

Rose: It's a game with no cube. You'll play "uncubed" games until one of you wins 9 games, and that person will also win the match.

furbster: I want him to accept it. I don't plan to go anywhere in the nearest future. If I do, I'll cancel it, of course...:)

Hrqls: It's exactly as BBW said - in anti games, the system takes the position of the loser's pieces into consideration when counting how many points the winner will get. And it should be the winner's pieces that must matter.

André: The interesting thing is that he has added me to his enemies list but hasn't declined my invitation yet. He probably waits for me to go to vacation or something and then, when he sees I haven't logged on for some time, accepts the invite...yeah, that's what I call sportsmanship

Vikings: Yes, you should've gotten 6 points. I don't play "cubed" anti-backgammon because of this bug right now, since it is a major flaw, in my opinion.

Vikings: Would you please provide a link to any game like that? Plz

Hrqls: No, unless your opponent resigns. I've already reported it to the BugTracker. (a month ago or so)

robtoo has put me on his enemies list...

I've offered this guy an 11-hours-per-move dark boats game, hoping to beat him with his own "weapon". :)

Hrqls:
:)

Single game (1 point) - the winner's opponent has borne off at least one piece.

Gammon (2 points) - the opponent hasn't borne off any pieces.

Backgammon (3 points) - the opponent hasn't borne off any pieces and still has some pieces either on the bar or in the winner's home area (the six pipes where the winner bears off own pieces).

Hrqls: No.

grenv: It's been discussed many times before, mostly on Czech boards though. It's only a visual bug, the dice are 21. Even when I go to your game, I see 21.

playBunny: Yup, this game:

Twinkle and change color every half a second. And maybe a boxing glove should pop up from your monitor and slap ya. LOL

playBunny: It has actually happened again. Maybe the warning should twinkle or something...

playBunny: I was originally writing a post about reading the rules first and reading warnings secondly but then I said to myself it was worthless. I can't type in red.

playBunny: I understand your position, my position is though, that people should bear responsibility for what they do and not act as "stupid turkeys" who react only when they see something red. Bold is enough in my opinion. If I click buttons mindlessly, I should connive with the fact that there might be something these buttons cause.

playBunny: What reluctance? When I switch to Turkish version and click the resign button for example in this game:
http://brainking.com/cz/ShowGame?g=1164441

I see this message:

Uyarı! Eğer bu oyundan çekilirseniz, tavla kurallarına göre rakibiniz 3 kadar puan kazanacaktır.

It's only and only Tayfun's fault that he didn't see this warning.

grenv: LOL, you need to think A LOT in the Race.

playBunny:


Hyper Backgammon
Backgammon
Nackgammon
Crowded Backgammon
Backgammon Race

Hrqls: I think I agree with your statement.

ajtgirl: 1. What happens in real life, on other sites or anywhere else is not relevant.
2. The odds DON'T change with every throw of the dice.

frolind: Oh, OK then, thanks for correcting me...:)

Walter Montego: You definitely should be able to double. Report it to the BugTracker.

How is it possible to score gammon or backgammon in anti-BG under the current rules?

In this game:
http://brainking.com/cz/ArchivedGame?g=1123600
TC resigned and I received 4 points (gammon x 2). But, I think I should have gotten 6 points since it should be my pieces, not his, that should be counted as to whether it is gammon or backgammon in the anti.

Fencer: Here, here...:)

lukulus: Me neither.

redsales: How come you don't know International Badminton Federation? LOL, I'm just messing with you.

playBunny: I would like to remind you AGAIN that copying and pasting what somebody else told you in a game or via PM onto a public board is in breach with the User Agreement.

Only paying members can see the graphs.

Marfitalu: You should know that it takes the system about five minutes to "recognize" a time-out. After the time runs out, the system will, with a 5-min delay though, terminate the game.

Marfitalu: I don't see any reason why should he resign. I wouldn't resign either.

playBunny: I think we are tuned to a completely different frequence. I have no idea what your previous post has to do with our preceding discussion about the probability.

playBunny: You should have said you were speaking of probability of possible "existence" of a certain sequence, not actual rolling it.

Why were you mentioning it in your reply to Chessmaster1000?

alanback: Thank you. Now back to playBunny's post that led to this "debate":
Excuse my ignorance, I'm a logician more than a mathematician, but I would have thought that the probability of an endless sequence of 5-5s is exactly 1.

anybody: What is the probability that you will roll 55s forever and nothing else?

alanback: That's not what I'm asking. I'm asking for the probability of actual rolling of endless sequence of 55s. What is the probability that you will roll 55s forever and nothing else.

The probability that I will keep rolling 55 for an infinite number of times is almost 100%?

And you are saying that the probability of rolling a certain sequence from an infinite number of sequences is 100%?

grenv: Can we agree that 1 is 100% and 0 is 0%?

playBunny: Almost 0.

playBunny: Are you sure about that?
Yes, I am...:)
Does not the infinite set contain everything?
Yes, it does...:)

Pbarb2: Yes, it is relatively new. For the future, just make sure you don't accept invites or sign up to tournaments that have a red dot next to their "time control"...:)

Pbarb2: If you see "No days off" written in red in a game, the auto-vacation will not prevent its timing out. See this:
http://brainking.com/cz/Help?ht=13

Pbarb2: Tournament: The Delete's Gammon Fest #1
Game ID: 890904
Score of finished games (Pbarb2 - MsDelete, Backgammon Race): 0 : 1 (= 0) (show games)
Time per move (?): 3 days, no days off
Public game (visible for other players)
Rated game (the result will be calculated for players' BKR)
Board size: 1 (change)
Layout: columns (change)
White ran out of time.
Black is the winner.

Peeky: Yes, but you can see only how your rating will change in case of win, draw or loss. You cannot see the opponent's rating chnages...

Peeky: How did you learn how many points would nobody24 lose?

playBunny: In other words, if you make a roll, the probability that something will appear on the dice is 1. The probability of any specific roll or sequence of rolls is lower than 1, no matter if you consider the number of moves finite or infinite.

playBunny: The probability of rolling "something" is 1, i.e. 100%.
