srnity: I guess it doesnt change anything in that game

srnity: No..you dont need to "ask", but if you challenge an opponent who has "no autopass" in settings than you cant use it either.  So in fact its your opponent who decides if your settings are in use or not....fair?...ask Fencer :)

srnity: Would be nice if we could see the opponents settings before we challenge him/her

srnity: No..i mean that it doesnt matter what your settings are if your opponent doesnt want autopass.

srnity: But remember to ask your opponent for permission to use it 

Fencer: thanks :)

Fencer: Did you make any decisions yet?

alanback: My "crime" was that i said something about Fencer's autopasspromise..i deleted that post

Fencer: sorry, this board should of course be as much on topic as BrainKing.com is

Fencer: yup

Czuch Czuckers: I just checked...our last game was finished dec 30..so i guess it should be ok tomorrow

BIG BAD WOLF: thanks,,i couldnt test because the only one who has me on block (as far as i know) is using retirement in the stairs where i play :)

Can i challenge someone who has me on block?

Does this ( -/5 ) mean that the player is using retirement?

playBunny: I suggest you ask the 'top dice roller" im sure you meet him before i do

playBunny: A top dice roller (no name!) said to me not long ago "To play 17-1800 rated players is to steal candy from kids"..then i cant understand the fear for losing BKR...can you?

My sympathies to the topplayers (top dice rollers in backgammon) who must play lower rated players. If they should lose (awful thought!!) they could lose some of their so well deserved BKR. If i was a top dice roller i should absolutely restrict myself to not playing any stairs at all
