Martie 2011, 16:52:27 Subiectul: Re: Identical Opening Moves playBunny: Then the problem should be fixed. Either start over with a new dice program, or find out where this link between the rolls is being made and sever it. I haven't posted to this board in many years. It looks from the links you and pedestrian posted here that this has been discussed and reported about from last year. So where's Fencer at on this? I am sure he wants the games here to play correctly. And any type of random dice program must be a fun challenge to make it work randomly, which they aren't doing now. 28. Martie 2011, 23:01:27 Subiectul: Re: Identical Opening Moves Walter Montego: Can't we just have the dice to simulate a real pair of dice being toss Actually I think that that could be exactly what's done and where the problem lies. http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=26&plla=1067194 28. Martie 2011, 17:48:08 Subiectul: Re: Identical Opening Moves pedestrian: Well then! IF this is the case, what's being done about fixing the problem? Can't we just have the dice to simulate a real pair of dice being toss instead of some fluke that can't be right and might explain why I win more than I should, or less? These links confirm that tony's and others' charting of the dice have shown a pattern of something being wrong with the dice. It is a fairly simple thing to have a well working random dice simulator, so what's the deal? A day or two's work on a program should be enough. This is a major problem since it affects the integrity of the game even if the flaw is fair for both players, and I am not so sure that it is fair for both players since in an identical paired start one player or the other will have an advantage depending on the what rolls were made. Maybe not 6-1 or 3-1, but what about 6-3? 27. Martie 2011, 21:09:08 Subiectul: Re: Identical Opening Moves coan.net: There's an open bug report on the problem, plus a lot of previous discussion on this board: http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=26&plla=1069240 http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=26&plla=1067541 http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=26&plla=1067194 http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=26&plla=1067193 http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=26&plla=1066554 http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=26&plla=1066340 http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=26&plla=1066309 http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=26&plla=1066221 http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=26&plla=1050553 http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=26&plla=1050635 http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=26&plla=1050529 http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=26&plla=1021736 http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=26&plla=1021718 (I apologize in advance, I'm sure I missed some posts on the subject) 27. Martie 2011, 21:03:03 Subiectul: Re: Identical Opening Moves  tonyh: Out of those 57 games that had the same - did you happen to pay attention who won the opening roll? (Player 1 or Player 2)? And were they all no-cube matches or with the double cube? I'm just wondering if maybe we can determine if we can see more of a pattern here... I myself have noticed it also, just never felt like sitting down and counting. 27. Martie 2011, 19:20:08 Subiectul: Identical Opening Moves For some time now, I have felt that my opponent's and my opening moves were identical. I shared this view with Walter Montego and he agreed. We decided that I do a test of 150 games to see how often the opening moves were the same, expecting a result of about 10, at odds of 15/1. Out of the last 153 of my games, 57 had identical opening moves. Surely, this cannot be right; it needs looking into. 17. Martie 2011, 16:58:28 Subiectul: Re: Pedro Martínez: 5 1/2.... my bad! Now it just doesnt seem so long anymore ;) 17. Martie 2011, 04:17:05 Subiectul: Re: 6 1/2 years later Pedro Martínez: 160 turns in 5 years... about one every 11 days or so. These people live in some parallel universe - all that matters is having enough games to guarantee there will be a move waiting for you at all times... it's a drug. 17. Martie 2011, 03:56:21 And by the way, it's not 6 1/2 years later, but “only” 5 1/2 years later…  17. Martie 2011, 03:54:30 Subiectul: Re: 6 1/2 years later AlliumCepa: Backgammon (cardinal vs. Baked Alaskan) 17. Martie 2011, 03:14:11 Subiectul: Re: 6 1/2 years later Czuch: Looks like I narrowly missed the second round. - and my last move was in 2005. Kinda glad I didn't make it. 16. Martie 2011, 22:37:47 Subiectul: Re: 6 1/2 years later  Czuch: My God!. I've moved house three times, travelled round the world twice, and bought three cars since this tournament started - not to mention I have also collected 5 years worth of superannuation payments and had five grandchildren! And to think, FIFA have managed to finish TWO tournaments in this period. 16. Martie 2011, 21:37:56 Subiectul: 6 1/2 years later 24. Februarie 2011, 17:42:43 Subiectul: 18000  19. Februarie 2011, 05:48:40 Subiectul: Re: The Cheats of Gammon  Pedro Martínez: thats good to hear. thank you for exposing such a bug, it:s difficult to gain such advantage over an oppoenent in backgammon, unless of course you have the know how or computer savy, both of which I lack. I do consider myself to be an excellent backgammon opponent though, so if someone wants a match (without the cheats) give me an invite. Thanks again Pedro. 20. Ianuarie 2011, 14:06:47 Subiectul: Re: The Cheats of Gammon Clandestine 1: Yes, the problem was resolved shortly after I had created and announced this tourney. 20. Ianuarie 2011, 08:35:56 Subiectul: The Cheats of Gammon A while ago, more then a year (I believe it was Pedro) that exposed the cheats of gammon that were abusing their privelidge of knowledge of computer systems and were somehow able to roll or re-roll in a single turn. Does anyone remember this or am I remembering it wrong? Has this problem/system fault been resolved or does it still live on? 26. Decembrie 2010, 14:47:29 @ Carl : Wow ;) So I should wait for a foul move by my opponent or be very lucky. 26. Decembrie 2010, 09:50:32 Subiectul: Re:  Resher: But it can and does happen! Plakoto (Carl vs. KrazeeEyezKilla) 21. Decembrie 2010, 10:01:12 Subiectul: Re: skipinnz: Thanks, good to know 21. Decembrie 2010, 10:00:08 Subiectul: Re: Resher: That has always been the rule. it doesn't happen very often, but it could. 21. Decembrie 2010, 09:58:19 Subiectul: Re: skipinnz: Oh, have the rules changed? I don't remember that caveat being there when the game was first introduced here. Thanks for pointing it out. 21. Decembrie 2010, 09:39:45 Subiectul: Re: joshi tm: It will be finished when he moves his last man off of his 1st point , as it could be a draw if you can pin his man. 21. Decembrie 2010, 09:37:11 Why I'm still allowed to move in this game where I've already lost? Plakoto (joshi tm - nauars) 17. Decembrie 2010, 11:17:17 Backgammon, 7p with dc, winter 2010 game: backgammon, 7 points matches with doubling cube, one for each 2 players time: 2/0.8/3 registration open till 20/12/2010, 9:00 GMT section: 1 up to 20 people rating: doesn't matter Feel free to sign up, cheers! 1. Decembrie 2010, 07:55:33 Subiectul: Re: Where are my points? pgt: I got a response [from Fencer] "It's a visual bug. Player names should be switched in the message." Yes, he's right. I have no way of verifying it now! That's true but I do. ;-) These are your recent matches: 28. Nov 2010, 08:18:48 7 points match with doubling cube g. lostAnd, according to Fencer, that name switch means that your rating after that win should be 2264. ennukene00: old BKR = 2256, new BKR = 2264 (+8)Which you can see here: Phil_Hyper_Nov2010.png 1. Decembrie 2010, 01:45:44 Subiectul: Re: Points Vikings: It's not all that important really - I mean, it's only points, and BG points are a load of crap anyway. 1. Decembrie 2010, 01:31:59 Subiectul: Re: Points pgt: you can go to your " Events " page and click on " Trash " and find your message 30. Noiembrie 2010, 22:37:35 Subiectul: Re: Points pgt: your profile shows that as your last completed game,but your bkr is 2230! 30. Noiembrie 2010, 22:30:55 Subiectul: Re: Points pedestrian: Only problem is that I usually just delete the messages, so it's too late to verify. 30. Noiembrie 2010, 22:19:06 Subiectul: Re: Points pgt: Well, there is a way to verify it: You go to the message you received when you finished your next Hyper Backgammon game after this one. The rating calculations there should say that your initial rating was 2264. 30. Noiembrie 2010, 22:07:23 Subiectul: Re: Points pedestrian: I got a response "It's a visual bug. Player names should be switched in the message." I have no way of verifying it now! 30. Noiembrie 2010, 22:04:36 Subiectul: Re: Points pgt: Hmm... that must be a bug. You should file a bug report if you haven't done it already (go to the message and then click the image of a bug in the upper right corner). I don't know if Fencer still looks into those. In recent years he's been busy with BrainKing3. 30. Noiembrie 2010, 21:51:31 Subiectul: Re: Points pedestrian: > I won this match. How come I lost rating points?

Noiembrie 2010, 15:49:27 Subiectul: Re: Points pgt: The link you provide doesn't show the rating change after this match. You should receive a message (under 'Events') that shows that your rating went up and his went down. If not, it seems to be a bug. 30. Noiembrie 2010, 15:45:44 http://brainking.com/cz/OldFAQ?ht=
probably a bug, which of course will be fixed with bk3, some time in the next millennium! lol 30. Noiembrie 2010, 12:37:47 Subiectul: Re: Points pgt: You won the match so you should have gained points. 29. Noiembrie 2010, 21:56:33 Subiectul: Points Hyper Backgammon (pgt vs. ennukene00) How come I lost rating points in this match when I won it? I resigned the 7th game because I had already won four! 29. Noiembrie 2010, 14:46:44 Subiectul: Re: Getting yourself banned Modificat de grenv (30. Noiembrie 2010, 00:57:49) moistfinger: Guess I should rethink my other handle then. Got any other ideas? 29. Noiembrie 2010, 01:37:57 Subiectul: Re: Counting the pips playBunny: Got it- Thanks! 28. Noiembrie 2010, 22:40:11 Subiectul: Re:  moistfinger: And the "horrible looking" DailyGammon is easily made beautiful, more functional, and customizable by the use of "DG Extras". 28. Noiembrie 2010, 21:34:42 Subiectul: Re: Getting yourself banned Modificat de playBunny (29. Noiembrie 2010, 01:34:40) moistfinger: I think the site is run by complete control freaks Lol. If you got yourself banned then that's an entirely natural thing to think. After all, why accept any responsibility yourself. Banning is rare at DailyGammon but there are certain ways that you can help yourself out the door. Most of them involve being annoying followed by being an -------------. You do get the option to stop after the first and try to resist becoming the second.  In Pedro's case I think, unless there were events that I wasn't aware of, that it was a case of misunderstanding after Pedro made a rather clumsy entrance; one that made it too easy to interpret his joining as being for the purposes of aggression. As there is an ongoing "battle" with someone (a major ---------) who does just that, toleration for such accounts is lower than it might be. ps. I shudder to think how traumatised you'd be if you met real control freaks. By the way, have you joined GoldToken yet? 28. Noiembrie 2010, 21:20:12 Subiectul: Re: Counting the pips DragonKing: There's a pip count shown next to each player's name, which has been labelled "Points" rather than "Pips". If you are doing your own pip count, a piece on the bar counts as 25. 28. Noiembrie 2010, 20:13:32 Subiectul: Re: Direction of movement playBunny: Thank you- one last question. If there is a checker on the bar, how does that figure in if I am counting the pips? Thank you for helping a new player. 28. Noiembrie 2010, 07:11:53 Subiectul: Fast Hypergammon 2010 A monthly series of fast-paced Hypergammon tourneys Late announcement. It starts on Wednesday  I like it fast, 5-point Hyper, 1st December 201028. Noiembrie 2010, 07:08:35 Subiectul: Re: Direction of movement DragonKing: It's entirely arbitrary. On a board in live play there will always be one player going clockwise and one going anti-clockwise. It's only possible for both players to makes their moves in the same direction if they each have a board, which is, of course, how it is on a game site. In books it's likely to be the preference of the author. For a game site it may be their preference or it may be that they take their convention from elsewhere. Some sites, such as DailyGammon, allow each player to choose their direction of play. 28. Noiembrie 2010, 06:02:29 Subiectul: Direction of movement Does it matter if the play goes clockwise or counter- clockwise? Most of the books and computer software I have seen are all counter- as well as the direction of play here- but some books and sites are just the opposite. Is there a reason? << < 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 > >> |
