Thanks for the reply, RR. After clicking this and clicking that, I finally figured out how to post a game to the waiting room.

Ratings can change from a draw, if one player in considerably higher rated than the other :-)
(they won't change as much as a win-loss, though)

Subject: Re: harley
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?!

Subject: multi users !!
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 ??

Subject: Re: Just wondering-flaw re multi-user policy
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.

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!).

Subject: Ratings
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.

Subject: reverse backgammon-another concept
hi fencer..ty again for creating my idea for crowded backgammon..frankly,I'm blown away.had another idea for an original variation.undecided as to whether it was playable,we tried it on a real board.it was fun,really interesting strategy.ok,so here's the idea.reverse backgammon(or maybe othello backgammon).board is set up like original backgammon.when you hit a blot,its color is converted to the color of the opposing player.we tried playing it 2 ways from this point :
1-the blot changes color then remains were it is.
2-the blot changes color and is sent to the bar to start.
both work,could be 2 variations.
we found that this is a quick win if one player is much better than his opponent.or it can be a struggle for 2 good players.what do you think?
