The dice on here perform much better than that other site.

Yes , I think they are better on this site because you don`t get ( at least not me )so many doubles , and that`s good because it ruins the whole game!!

Have you ever noticed it seems on the other site that when you or your opponent has 4 checkers to clear off their dice almost always seems to show doubles then? Seems strange to me how often that happens to me.

I don't know what other site you're talking about but maybe i's the same psicological effect. One allways seems to remember those worst cases that happen to us... even if statisticaly they're the least significant

Anyway whatever the site si I agree on one thing: BK is definitelly better ;)

Teema: Re:
Backgammonfan28: That site has problems with its random generator - but it doesn't show in die rolls. It pregenerates the die rolls for an entire day - a roll for every millisecond. And it's the millisecond in which your HTTP request arrives that determines your roll. Not a problem for backgammon like games - but it's a serious problem for Jamble tournaments. Which they still haven't fixed, and is one of the reasons I let my membership there expire, and got a membership here.

Oh, I thought the "other site" was a different site. I've never heard of dice problems at IYT.. I know at Goldtoken they seem to change before your eyes.. I assumed that was the "other site" everyone was talking about..

i sometimes think they are changing before my eyes on here as well ... but i never found proof of it .. i still think it was my eyes playing tricks on me .. or me focussing on the opponents dice of his last move at first ... i will find proof!!! its a conspiracy! ;)

I'm a newbie here. Why isn't the doubling cube a part of the bckgammon games?

TIA,

Well, I found my own answer. Back on 20 October 2004 BIG BAD WOLF posted that "A cube is planned - 3rd on the priority list right now."

Teema: Priority list
I wonder whether user input is solicited on what priority should be given to various improvements. There are one or two glitches in the backgammon engine that should be fixed first, but introduction of the doubling cube and matches of greater length than 1 would be right after that on my list.

Teema: Re: Priority list
alanback: Just curious what glitches you found.

I would like to see the normal backgammon rule of 'using both dice is possible' implemented. As it stands now the opponent can use only one dice and pass if he becomes blocked from using the second dice. This can really change a game! I have noticed though, the players that seem to know backgammon use both dice even if it puts them in a rough spot.

Teema: Re: Priority list
SueQ: That's the glitch I mean. Based on my experience on other sites, it seems to require more than 1 software fix to get it working right, as it comes up in different contexts.

because the socalled international rules are nothing to advance
real backgammon whatsoever, still I wait for the (optional) rule that
you must take from highest triangle first as soon as you started moving out. ~*~

Variations are fine, but i think most would like the international rules applied on the game called backgammon. Rules could be changed on variations.

How about a variation with 3 dice? doubles are still played as 4 moves, but triples could be 9!

or something. Maybe i'd better play test it first.

16. veebruar 2005, 04:25:07

I was thinking once about a variation with a 3rd die that was maybe a different color, that would be a negative number you must move one of your pieces..

Teema: Re:
rod03801: Instead of it being negative, as in moving backwards to normal Backgammon flow, why not have the third die as one that the player can use in either direction at his option?
As for rolling triplets, I'd just count it as double instead of triple, so it'd give you six of the number rolled. That'd still be a good roll. I'd also not count doubles using the third die, just count them when the doubles use only the original two dice or there'll be way too many doubles in the game.

I don`t quite get it,,,
Why should the tird dice be in the game in the first place?
It could be fun never the less to move backwards,,,
The only time I do this is when someone sends me back to the bar,,,,

So if you've started bearing off, could you use the backwards dice to bear back on again?
