ajtgirl: your roll is determined by what time you click on your turn,what number someone else rolls has ablolutely nothing to do with is

ajtgirl: the dice are determend by random, what your opponent rolls is irrelevant

BIG BAD WOLF: I don't think you understand what I mean, lets say that the game is tied, and one more point wins, and one player is winning one while the other is winning the other, I know of a couple of people on this site that would figure out if they have more vacation time than you to stall the game they are loosing just long enought to win the other and thus the match.

has anybody noticed that there is at least one tournament with the cube that is set up to play 2 games at once. Does this make any sense? couldn't a person drag out one of the games that he is loosing in and if he has more vacation, win by default?

Subject: Re: Question:
BIG BAD WOLF: problem with multiple point maches in anti-backgammon is that there is a much higher percentage of backgammons(3 points) than in regular backgammon

Subject: Re: Resignation
BIG BAD WOLF: I read that to be that you don't want to resign because it will calculate points by where you are when you resign, and not give the oppertunity to resign for fewer points that would be the likely result

I don't think that I would want to use it in anti backgammon, I'll have to think about that further

Walter Montego: you wouldn't want to show the places that you could roll because then you would know how many peices were there, 2, 3 or more, which would make it easier to figure out all pieces of the opponent

BIG BAD WOLF: Personally, I like the idea of not being able to move to a blocked space better, it would resemble a regular game better leaving the key to be when and where to move single pieces

BBW: wouldn't it be if there is two of your opponents pieces on a spot, it wouldn't allow you to move there in the first place? Yhat would be the only way you could do decective work

correct and you moved 7-3, 6-5 in other words 4-1

15. May 2005, 15:51:20

she rolled a 6-4, and you rolled a 4-1 in the previous move

it doesn't, Fencer announced it, I m sure the opponent is banned as well since it is his 2nd. nic. He said it is on the do do list, but must be low priority

the only time I speed as you call it is when I get double 5's or 6's early on, and then I rarely ever go past 13, as far as leaving uncovered players in the 7-12 spot, it depends where in the 13-18 spot my opponent is, of course I will sometimes try to goat him to take me with a single player, if I am set up to take him back no matter what, gainging a pip advantage. Then theres the question, How many players do I bear on before advancing? and also How do I adjust to my opponents style? No single right way but many wrong ones.

10. December 2004, 03:11:43
Vikings 
he he he, lets just say, generally, build a wall, where and how just depends on the mathematics of the pip count

its acey-duecy without the luck of the opening doubles required. I have seen 3 basic strategies, one never works, one works only if you get good rolls, and the other works most of the time unless you come up against someone with the same startegy

check out his profile, and click on show games

he created a 2nd account and played all 25 games against that account, then after 3 moves he forfeited all 25 games in the other acount, thus 25 wins

10. December 2004, 02:35:16

he has been banned for cheating

How would you know that he did this without going to your game, which would have brought the dice up anyway?

those were the 2 questions I had

11. September 2004, 20:08:18

Would like to see rules, have questions about availabity of the space where peice was landed on

11. September 2004, 01:12:41

It certainly does, I play my games the way it should be because my honor is more important to me than the occasional incorrect move to gain an advantage, but you are right it can happen without even realizing that you have made an incorrect move

11. September 2004, 01:01:27

it's called honor

I just checked zuggie's current dice rolles. He has 7 games going right now, 1 battleboat and 6 versions of gammon, here are his current rolls, 6-2,6-4,6-5,6-2,2-2 and 6-4. So obviously he is delusional

Subject: thanks zuggie
I just traded my 1-2 with your 6-6 for the 7th time today. Why don't you tell me your exact hours on the computer so I can get more sleep instead of waiting for you to make moves so that I can steal your rolls
