Could someone shed some light on this conversation? Is this code of some sort?

I think an E-card is like a card that you send via e-mail. For example, http://www.bluemountain.com handles e-cards.

Sending cards from where? to who? could you be clearer about what it is exactly that demands our opinion?

E-cards are sending cards via email from anyone to anyone. An electronic (greeting) card.

The following rule of backgammon does not seem to be implemented:
If there is some move you can make in which
you use both dice, you must do so.

Subiectul: Re: Game ID: 183200
LOL. You should read all the previous posts. About half of the recent ones address this: You're correct, it wasn't implemented. Also not implemented was having to use the higher of the two dice if only one can be used.

Subiectul: Crowded Backgammon Tournament
In my fellowship (The Gammon Cube), we have a Crowded tournament every month (Around the 25th of each month) [I have sent you an invite to that fellowship]

For the Main Tournaments, you will probable have to look for "all game" or "all gammon" tournaments, not very often does someone start just a Crowded tournamnet.

.... but you are a Rook now, you could start your own Crowded tournament! :-)

Thank you Big Bad Wolf! This is such a fun game, I can't see why more people aren't playing. I wanted to join the game but it had already started, and it's already filled, so sad...I want to be on a team before I start up a tournament of my own, to see the ins and outs of what happens.

Subiectul: Re: European Backgammon Tournament (EBT)
To all those that entered.

Here follows a copy of the message that i`ve posted on my tournament page concerning EBT.

(NOTICE)4/11/03 Because of all the site problems i have decided to cancel this tournament with immediate effect. If players wish to continue with the tournament then please feel free but please be aware that NO PRIZE will now be offered since i intend to re-run the whole tournament at a later date when all the site faults are corrected. Sorry for the disappointment that this may cause.!

I have done this because of the difficulties that may arise from having moves "Rolled back" to the the earlier date with a good example being possible different results than they where originally.!

I will not be deleting the tournament, so please feel free to continue if you so wish.

Thanks.

Hi....i have a game i think an illegal move has been made..backgammon race and it's game #197727..i'm leaving it on the move...i didn't use the two 1's yet.....it looks to me that she coulda used the 3 then the 6 on my home side ...or...used the 6 and 3 on her side too....i don't have a clue why she got away with just using the 3 with so many options....maybe it was a bug and she couldn't use the 6...i don't know...all i know is i see the 6 could be used and wasn't...

Yea, that game (HERE) is a perfect example of things that have be talked about over and over here on some of the backgammon boards.

The "real" backgammon rules state that a player must use both dice if possible. Here at BrainKing, it does not enforce that rule. (So some players call it cheating, yet others call it OK since it is allowed).

I'm not sure what Fencers feelings are on the subject - since he is the "main" person, he would be the one to decide if the move should be allowed or not. (I'll send him a message and ask) - I'll post a reply or ask him to! :-)

i wouldn't call it cheating...i'd call it somebody not knowing the rules of the game...type in ..backgammon rules....in your search....everyone of the sites states that if both dice can be used they must be used....why is that so tough to understand....the way it is it's like playing a game of checkers and just because your king is trapped in a corner you don't want to move that move....or the jump rule in checkers....maybe i don't want to jump...

Zuggie, I suggest perhaps mentioning to your opponent that this is generally accepted as illegal. Maybe they just didn't know that. I'm not sure if Fencer would put the game back a move so that they can then make a legal move, but at least that person will now know it was wrong.
I, too, hope that someday Fencer will program the backgammon games to follow this rule. In the mean time, we just have to live with it!

Subiectul: What is life??
1400 years ago the Emperor of India has sent the game Chess, with an accompanying letter to the Persian Emperor.
The letter had nothing but the following:

"To his highness, the Emperor of Persia,

Whoever thinks more
Whoever knows more
Whoever sees the future better
Wins
This is life...."




The Persian Emperor shares this message with his minister Buzur Mehir who is considered the wisest of all, and asks him to invent a game to send to the Indian Emperor back as a present.
The minister, after studying and understanding the strategy of Chess and movements of its each piece, invents the game Backgammon and presentsit to the Emperor.

Then they send the backgammon set to the Indian Emperor with a note that reads:

"To his highness Emperor of India,

Yes, whoever thinks more
Whoever knows more
Whoever sees the future better
Wins
But there has to be a little luck too.
This is the real life......"

is there a reason 1-2 comes up 20 times more often than any other dice combination at this site...and if it's not a 1-2 it's a 1-3....if it's random then sombody must be getting entire games of double 6's to make up for the 1-2's i'm getting...how about it...anybody see more double 6's than 1-2's here...???

FYI a 1-2 is twice as likely as a 6-6
1-2 has a 1 in 18 chance of showing up.
6-6 has a 1 in 36 chance.

you think so....all i can say is when you've been screwed as many times as i have in my life turning the other cheek is not an option anymore..you learn to see who's doing the screwing and make sure they stop...one way or another....that's not childish...that's called growing smarter and teaching someone that not everybody in this world is their little kick-around patsy ...I'm big enough to kick back... and Harder..!!
