AbigailII: Yes, me and my opponent both have Auto pass turned on. At the bottom of game page it states that "This game uses auto pass". If it doesn't work, why the sign is there then?

... In this game.
It is defined as a "5 wins match", so there isn't any Cube involved here. Look at game #2, moves from 11 to 13.

Puckish: LOL, that's the "Eternal Question", isn't it?

coan.net: ...many would like it - some don't care, and probable a few don't want it...

Here is an another idea - lets Vote and then this madness will be complete!

PS: Now it's time to check if Vote/Poll system has been requested already

Edit: Yes, a Poll system has been requested.

Thad: Personally, I try to bring the subject step by step. First, I type "gg", if my opponent still drags the game I type "GG", then "GG!!!!!!", then some ugly smileys... And I end up with blocking players.

pgt: Glad I could help

pgt: Looks fine to me. Try to empty your browser's cache and reload the page.

Thad: Since the game starts with 156 pips to go and the largest non-double number rolled is 11 (6+5), it should be: 156/11=14.181818....
So it seems that 15 rolls is the minimum, assuming you are not hit even once.

alanback:

nabla: In fact, alanback has proposed a week ago to have this option implemented: "Skip my turns until I actually have a chance to move a piece". He was referring to a game with the cube while some has a piece on bar. It is unlikely to double while waiting and your only job is press "Roll" - "Submit" - "Roll" - "Submit"...

pgt: Autopass does this

alanback: I completely support your idea

Only 3 days left. Don't miss my tournament!

There is a new tourney available for signing. Please join and have fun.
Good luck.

alanback: I am confused. What's wrong with her games? Can't see anything unusual.

alanback: What if we don't have the Resign option within a TTT games? It is simply disabled. That would solve the problem partially.

Thad: LOL, that's a good one!

fakar10: Oh, you play against zimmermann! Please accept my condolences...

We need 16 players to begin. Signt in here and compete!

AbigailII: I like "0, 1, 3, 5" scoring.

Hrqls: "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"??? Umm... that will be a hard word to translate...

Fencer: (Democracy?! HA! )

Just set a name for it and give us thee dices

Hrqls: You are right, but all I say is that we can use the idea and upgrade it with cube. Everyone will be happy - both Cube-Lovers and Aggressive-Play-for-Gammon-Lovers. After all, these parameters can be set during GGT creation and we can have same variants as we do for SingleGame and MultiPintMatch.

joshi tm: I agree, it shouldn't be a problem to apply this scoring system within a multipoint match with cube. Players will have their BKR calculated in the end of the match (as usual), but their score within tourney will be calculated according to "1-2-3-0.5" system (as Hrqls described).

We shouldn't use "man-to-man" because some people say "man" is a sexist way to describe something. They tend to replace "postman" with "postperson", "barman" with "bartender", "salesman" with "salesperson" etc. (you get the idea).

My idea for naming it is "Grand Gammon Tournament" (GGT) - sounds close enough to the "original" name, plus it describes the idea well.

As for the way TTT are conducted, sounds almost like the standart tourneys we have here, except limiting groups to 8 or 7 players (Shurig tables). In TTT all play in a single group. And of course, scoring system is what makes it different and entertaining.

I vote "for" it.

(Edit: typo)

Thad: Since you are from the USA, I assume your settings are in English. My idea is: find the answer in game rules page in English, then send the URL to your opponent, replacing ".../en/..." with ".../tr/..."

«Edit»
Don't bother searching the URL. Here, I found this link for you.

Good luck

pgt: That's even better idea!

Don't you think it would be nice if we were able to offer "Use Autopass" to our opponent in the middle of the game? Many players are not aware of existence of this feature, not to speak of enabling it in their Settings.

I love this feature. I use it. In fact, I will not accept an invitation without the autopass enabled. It is a mystery for me - what's the big deal that your opponent can see your dices. They will see it anyway when their turn comes. So what? Furthermore, I will support all newly added goodies that would speed up my games.

Here is a screenshot from another backgammon site - see what they have.

alanback: I'll try to translate the phrase "ВЯРНО, ПЪЛНА СВИНЩИНА" word by word, then will give you its possible meanings:
Вярно = True, agree
Пълна = Absolute, Complete, Entire
Свинщина = Squalor, Filth, Swinnish/dirty trick, Mess

Versions:

1. "I agree with you, this is absolutely dirty trick."
2. "That's true, it was very/extremely hoggish."
3. "Oh yes, we completely f**d up!"
4. "F**k me, I was so unlucky this game!" --> this is the most accurate translation, as I asked the player (N.Nakov - autor of the phrase in question) and he explained the situation to me personally. It's about this game. Unfortunately it is Private and not available for viewers. I can ask for game's code if anyone is interested.

Shortly, the player curses his own bad luck.

Hopefully, this helps. Good luck

fakarten : LOL! That sounds very fun game. I will try it at home this evening with my wife and her sister's family
