Subject: Hi

there are few reasons I keep this account ... first, Fencer didn't see any problem ... second, I know I am not going to harm anybody by keeping it (this is the way I am, simple and good guy) and thirdly, I am a director of a branch of US Backgammon League in Lincoln Nebraska and wanted to attract more backgammon players from my region to brainking to this particular, backgammon only account ... here is the link:
http://www.usbackgammon.org/clubHome.php?id=7
And I was thinking about transfering my membership from Herlock Sholmes to gammonrace if possible ...
Anyway, if it will be causing more dissatisfaction, I am going to stop using this account.
Andy.

Subject: Re: "montecarlo" - new gammon proposal

Pedro Martínez: for your knowledge: Few weeks ago I had some strange problems login in to my Herlock Sholmes account ... I created another account gammonrace and reported this fact immediately to Fencer ... I asked him to remove this new account if this is a problem. Fencer decided to leave it like it is ... he apparently had a confidence in me ... and I can assure you, Herlock Sholmes will never play a game with gammonrace ... but I can understand it may be a dangerous precedence ... any clue how to solve it ? I am open to anything ...
Andy.

Subject: Re: "montecarlo" - new gammon proposal

Universal Eyes: double roll do not happen very often, we know this, right ... there are only 6 opponent's checkers and they are not going to block their home section to make more troubles for you being on the bar since they will take advantage of the third twist and escape from the board right away they will have a chance ... if you get double you most likely will send to the bar my most advanced checker, possibly sitting in mu home section ... isn't it not like in Ludo just standing in front of home section and waiting with fear not to be hit ?
I think you will find ways around these rules governing doubles the same way you found them in regular backgammon ...
thanks,
Andy.

Subject: Re: "backrunners" - new game proposal

MadMonkey: thanks, I am not a programmer but even to my limited understanding it shouldn't be a big task to
implement ... you're right, only marking these runners should be done and some "IF-ELSE" when bearing off starts ...
Cheers,
Andy.
