Gee, I didnt mean to create so much discussion

I guess I am the only one who is not completely satisfied with the auto pass configuration?

Anyway, I just made a move in an auto pass game where I put my opponent on the bar, and stayed at that game, and sure enough there was my opponents roll that showed he could not make a move and my new roll as well. But when I made the next move and submitted and stayed there all that was there were my dice from the previous roll and it was my opponents turn.

Is it a bug that even though the dice are already rolled I cannot see them? Or is there some reason they stay hidden from my view until my opponent comes on to look at them?

For some reason I think that if the dice are already rolled, they should also be displayed? Is there any advantage I am not seeing that would make it more fair for me not to see the roll before my opponent does?

also again, any comments on a default to stay at any game where our opponent has auto passed?

So far they don't (which means I won't move in their games until I'm about to time out; don't expect that 21-point cloning backgammon tournament to finish for the next couple of years...)

AbigailII: Exactly...but why must i ask for my opponents approval to use it? ..makes ZERO sense to me

Andersp: Because Fencer was it that way. I don't know how many users use auto-pass, well at least I do.

When I was a kid, some boys knocked over some bins and wouldn't own up. As a reult the whole class got a slap across the hand with the Strap. Decades later I still hate the unfairness of that. I'm glad I don't play in your tournament.

Family Man: Staying on the game until it's your opponents turn should probably be the default behaviour. However you'll soon get to it again, and when it's the only game left where it's your turn...
