Fencer...we all seem to agree with DreamBear,but how can we help solve the problem,I've looked at the "who's here" list and there are those who have signed in signed out and that's the last of them,they're taking up space to were other could be...we know the the more names you have the popular the site becomes,but if your not going to to participate then you souldn't be here and if your using more then two names (BOTD) then you should be as most of us two people...DreamBear i to belong to IYT and know that one payed/one non-member should be enough for some,but it seem some people are just plain greedy.
hi Mo. click on New Game to the left of your screen.. it takes you to the list of all the games here.. choose a game then click the blue link at the game u want to send an open invite too.. if its say chess you will see the game board an word Chess in blue.. click that blue link.. it takes you to the area where you set up your invite.. Hope this helps!
I'm brand new to this site (a regular player on the IYT site) and I've started a game from the Waiting Games but what I would like to know is how do I put a game in the Waiting Room? I've looked around alot but have been unable to find the info about it..........including the FAQs. Thanks in advance!
HAHAHA.i write Limericks, but most of them are slightly on the "cant put on the board" side LOL, I also write poetry, and have been published and won prizes for same :) *showing off*
take no offense,please,we should all not take ourselves to seriously & have the ability to laugh at ourselves.it shows character.I have several close friends who are blonde or redhead,all are bright & fun to lick at backgammon[wink].

hey anyone know any good limmericks?
Yes but do you see what I mean, it could be one person using two memberships. But as you say, if someone really wants to cheat so badly they'll find a way, but they're only cheating themselves at the end of the day. What happened to just having fun in an honest way? It makes you feel so much better!
not sure how iyt.com can tell what IP address using but they can !!
You each have your own id & all rules for each membership still apply. Don't think we will ever stop ppl cheating whatever system is used.
Dream Bear, wouldn't that encourage cheating? Some people may not use it honestly like you and your wife.
It just gives the paying member opportunity to play double the amount of games (if they chose knight membership) and tournaments. Or have I got that idea wrong somehow?!
On iyt.com it is policy that if you have a paid membership for yourself,you may also have another free membership using same IP address for your partner or such. This I know as is the situation with my partner & I. Maybe we can do it on here then encourage the free member to purchase a membership at a later time ??
dream,I agree,mult-ID uers are cheating.
www.itsyourturn.com is an example of a bad policy choice tho.I am a member,I use/and have friends that have no home PC,so must use - a public use computer at schools,libraries,community centers.
many young adults & computer newbies start off at at such places.
so you find the situation were many users who dont even know each other,are using the same IP address.
IYT has a policy of allowing one user per IP address.so it creates a problem for public users.usually they end up emailing the help area of IYT,explaining the situation.IYT then makes allowance.
but in many cases,people just give up on IYT.
this is not a good policy for business,as it discourages people from using the site.
I wrote to IYT about it,suggesting,maybe they think about a better solution.brainking is my fav site,if they decide on a policy re multi-users,I hope it is done in a way that will not discourage users.
Fencer is anything is place to prevent people from playing under multi ids? It seems to be the commonest form of cheating at other sites and can affect the best players list a lot.
Hi Fencer, how long are unused usernames kept for?
I want to change my name to harley (easier for people to say!!), but someone has signed up using that name already :o(
Thing is, they joined December 19th, and haven't been back since, no games in progress or anything. It seems to be a 'stale' name and I wondered if you ever delete them so somebody else can use them? And what kind of time this would be?
juste pour rire
old backgammoners never die,they just get blotted out.
blondes like backgammon because it has a bar & they get hit on.
(just kidding,I'm no chauvinist.most of the blondes here are sharp,sly.anyone who has ever played backgammon against them here knows this)
My opponent ran out of time in a tournament game. It surprised me that it didn't change my rating. I couldn't find anything the reason for it on FAQ. We performed 12 moves.
Is there going to be any fellowship tournaments taking place on here ?
If so maybe we should concider creating an award system to show what teams have won !! Or has this been discussed already ???
Fencer: have u had a chance to look at this crowded backgammon game yet (note 22nd Feb 1.34). It keeps showing as my next game to move in, but until the problem is fixed i dont know if u want it left so you can see the problem or shall i just delete it. Thanks :-)
MadMonkey, I think that could be the bug. When did you start the game? I had a game going we had to call a draw because loads of pieces disappeared, but only on line 19!
It might be worth starting again, we did after the bug was fixed and its working fine (up to now!).
Fencer, could you have a look at our Crowded Backgammon game against alley oop. Between moves 20 & 21 nearly all the pieces have just vanished LOL... :-)
Fencer, I don't get these ratings. I know how they work, but can't understand how they're calculated. For example, I won a game against an opponent with a rating of 2545, whilst mine was 2094. When the ratings adjusted, they lost around 100 points, yet I only gained 20. Please can you explain, thanx.
