<< < 1 2 > >> 10. July 2005, 19:11:00 Subject: webtv even stores user cookies on their central server, which makes it
almost usable for serious purposes like my private hide cookie, noting 51 new msgs, showing 10 indeed. ~*~ 5. July 2005, 21:11:39 Subject: Re: Pedro Martínez: *PLOP* ... although
imitation is the sincerest form of flattery I just don't have the time to return all love. ~*~ 5. July 2005, 20:54:01 Subject: Re: Modified by danoschek (5. July 2005, 21:09:13) frolind: sometimes it's due to judge "the maniacs" mildly.
perhaps someone is going for the record-amount of moves for the day and just doesn't want to leave out a count ...  ... ~*~5. July 2005, 01:35:43 Subject: roflol the computer is the answer !!! 
errrm - what exactly was the question ??  ... ~*~2. July 2005, 23:32:17 Subject: consequences irrelevant Modified by danoschek (2. July 2005, 23:34:45) but what preliminaries have let one getting on two's enemy list.  . I have faced so
many surprised on boards where you have to wait for a first vent to hide as well, but since I'm a prophet I use block well even before the troublemaker starts it as forseen ...  ~*~30. June 2005, 21:04:49 Subject: Re: highest die first ? Modified by danoschek (30. June 2005, 21:07:39) bumble: nonsense - if you get anyone to that courtesy, congrats though
- but for me it's just a silly interpretation not covered by rules whatsoever that's why I don't claim the adults-rule for moving pieces out, either - who cares ... ~*~ 30. June 2005, 04:33:23 Subject: good sportsmanship my butt Modified by danoschek (30. June 2005, 04:34:48) if I cAn shoot a goal and that is the goal of the game, I'd be stupid not to do so - your
belief is inessential here & even about rules there are divergences - like the very silly kindergarten move-out, "internationally" allowed, anything but sportsmanship for pros. ~*~ 30. June 2005, 04:01:14 Subject: funny after you confessed having no idea Modified by danoschek (30. June 2005, 04:02:54) if you do not have a minimum of style either, you better
should not talk in public altogether ... welcome on my hidelist and - read the rules before your next spamming ... ~*~ 30. June 2005, 03:49:41 Subject: sorry from the principle I do not give hints
on games yet in progress ... good luck ... ~*~ 30. June 2005, 03:17:24 Subject: Re: Opinions Please on Hypergammon wayney: a known edge ... this nifty feature here allows different
variations of socalled international rules - now that you know you may wish to find a courtesy with your opponent before the game ... ... ~*~27. June 2005, 23:59:24 Subject: Re: Pedro Martínez: Modified by danoschek (28. June 2005, 03:57:20) a peninsula, south part german ... here the wikipedia entry about - my hometown kiel
outlines the fjord between the sub-peninsulae schwansen and angeln - go figure what lingo anglish ppl spoke - but the brits mis-spelled when we urged them to learn it ... ~*~27. June 2005, 11:55:17 Subject: Re: Hrqls: ah ja ..  .. well if you have socially aimed at me asking to repeat your msg please
(as I was so fascinated that it reduced to a colourful scrolleffect) it was uncensored indeed after all. ... and if holland is gammon, then juetland is backgammon north. ~*~ 25. June 2005, 12:48:09 Subject: as if the sun would mind anyway Modified by danoschek (25. June 2005, 12:49:56) when the darkness is complaining again - it happens everyday and will
remain futile ... looking forward to some dogmatics suffering a very short circuit when they need a draw to avoid a draw in an evennumber-games match ...  ... ~*~24. June 2005, 19:33:09 Subject: a bit of fantasy would enable ideas like putting all the mechanistic computer clubber
into a file for those interested in iterative boredom and put just a link here. ~*~ 24. June 2005, 17:20:29 Subject: Re: Hrqls: Modified by danoschek (25. June 2005, 02:28:39)  ... it merely was meant to expose blonde attitude of those obsessed by computers
meanwhile trying to program mankind to silly and unworthy machine standards, too - not to generalize our nice frisk neighbourhood from south of texel to north of juetland ...  ... ~*~24. June 2005, 17:12:25 Subject: Hrqls: yeah Modified by danoschek (24. June 2005, 17:15:53) even if liberty becomes ashcrofted and criminalized in some countries meanwhile
it will remain elementary and futile to fight it in the free world existing globally yet ... ~*~ 24. June 2005, 17:04:51 Subject: but we pinned down the flaw Modified by danoschek (24. June 2005, 17:07:23) we need a totalitarian system where the fantasyless ones spend 24/7 to
fight creativity and a totally blonde tournament creator to find something objectable whatsoever finally in the provenly great option of a draw ... . ~*~24. June 2005, 17:01:35 Subject: awww softwaremaster 1000 claiming cheats Modified by danoschek (24. June 2005, 17:01:52) too funny - irrigardlessly I described a different situtation in which a draw doesn't
harm anyone unlike in the perverted form that comes on his mind as first (funny too) soon draws will be criminal sure. lacking fantasy cAn get a sickness if so notorious I say ~*~23. June 2005, 19:35:00 Subject: sometimes it's better to hide severed silliness Modified by danoschek (24. June 2005, 00:07:21) before it just stresses my patience or universe-outreaching tolerance granting everyone
to be happy even without the obvious thrills and benefits of a draw as described earlier any attempts to make lacking fantasy obligatory are ridiculous and abnominal of course ~*~ 23. June 2005, 14:13:05 Subject: Re: Chessmaster1000: lacking fantasy is
bad enough - but iterated it is just boring ... ~*~ 23. June 2005, 13:14:20 Subject: awww all going silly so you are excused too - I for my part enjoy
players with a bit more of fantasy though ... have a blessed week ... ~*~ .  -- silly23. June 2005, 12:51:25 Subject: that's not the point the point could be in an 8-games match when you
won 5 already, why bother on, rest draw over ... . ~*~23. June 2005, 12:41:05 Subject: as proven below a draw is very acceptable and senseful. e.g. your opponent offers draw,
you accept because you forsee to lose this set in a bg match - half a point. for players with a bit of fantasy that effect is half a cube too ... . ~*~23. June 2005, 12:32:22 Subject: WhiteTower: Re: draw possible Modified by danoschek (23. June 2005, 12:38:12) e.g. to win a tournament when the other has no chance anymor hence just wants out ...
and in matches with a fixed, even amount of games a draw will always be possible - taking a draw in a set of a bg match may even gain the thrill of the lacking cube ... ~*~23. June 2005, 10:45:52 Subject: match rating is an important detail Modified by danoschek (23. June 2005, 10:50:47) because it enables you to create staged handicap challenges
in those gametypes with one clearly advantaged colour ... ... ~*~23. June 2005, 10:24:26 Subject: Re: win and lose against the same player alanback: you noticed right ... but why
change ? else a match would make no difference ? appointing amount of points/games provides liberty ... . ~*~22. June 2005, 15:54:16 Subject: no of course it is no flaw 22. June 2005, 13:11:33 Subject: you found an edge Modified by danoschek (22. June 2005, 13:12:40) pros indeed trim timing of resign according to the little difference ...  ~*~22. June 2005, 01:12:12 Subject: okay - inessential difference whoo hoo.  30 - 40 would have made it worth an objection
still the same dimension thus and not at all touching the core of the sense. checked a year ago last time btw ... ~*~22. June 2005, 00:16:28 Subject: another detail which has no impact in backgammon - some game types aren't that crowded ...
in small pente I am so far ahead, there are only 3-4 players within 400 points - still I bother to play for a team to be available sometimes after all ... ~*~ 21. June 2005, 23:10:13 Subject: Re: Sitting pretty at the top alanback: absolutely correct. a diligent player (stable rating)
won't lose more than 8 points to an opponent withing the 400 points range ... ~*~ 21. June 2005, 19:05:18 Subject: I take crazy as compliment aware of all those normal and self-declaredly reasonable default characters ... ~*~21. June 2005, 17:42:21 Subject: I am just thankful for the hide function protecting me from the sillliest ideas after all ... ... ~*~21. June 2005, 15:27:47 Subject: recent rating should be only an additional value - why punish serious players who play continuously ?
irrigardlessly a penalty rating for inactive players seems reasonable after a while, let's say 100 down after 3 months not giving a flying stuff at challenges ... ~*~ 18. June 2005, 03:56:47 Subject: for me robos trying to imitate humans are still understandable
while humans somersualting after machines seem a bit silly ... ~*~  14. June 2005, 22:27:52 Subject: who ever yet dares to think by his own and is not more than 300 below my ratings, feel free also to invite me
- we could have a nice comment exchange which my pleasance forbids here ... ~*~ 13. June 2005, 08:17:01 Subject: backgammon program . - if I may determine the rolls for my opponent, I'd certainly need
good software to make the probability of all my winning unconspicious ...  ... ~*~24. May 2005, 00:21:23 Subject: alanback: and you learned also that we have a lift-off each elevator malfunction I bet ... ~*~24. May 2005, 00:12:21 Subject: Re: Miles and backgammon and newbees knowing it all Modified by danoschek (24. May 2005, 00:15:31) alanback: that's neglectable - go figure some ppl even think
200 years of anti-royal sulking would make a nation already ... ... ~*~23. May 2005, 22:05:05 Subject: remember the oldie but goldie suggestion 23. May 2005, 21:29:38 Subject: I'd like to point at some good bg music 0:) http://www.zerlett.de/uc.htm
The Unknown Cases . . "Stop The Madness" from the album 'Cuba' ... ~*~ . 23. May 2005, 20:46:59 Subject: oh well Modified by danoschek (23. May 2005, 20:48:55) after you started your msg by misquoting
I didn't see it worthwhile reading entirely. on the 2nd day already on blocked and hide, great ~*~22. May 2005, 01:30:08 Subject: it's idle debating I shall comply with the rules of the tournament I choose to sign up for - very easy.
and although it's almost alienmath for me to make milespergallon from liters per hundred kilometers I shall do it whenever an american friend needs a favour. ~*~ 22. May 2005, 01:06:35 Subject: oh well some call even 'miles' standard - but even iterative insisting won't make it true. ~*~ 22. May 2005, 00:32:05 Subject: as mentioned I derogate that so called standard ...
here you got to play according to our standard rules or to stay out of the standard tournaments - fully free choice. ~*~ 20. May 2005, 22:03:19 Subject: and yet to clarify Modified by danoschek (20. May 2005, 22:03:54) the anti-fiddling rule about highest triangle counts not earlier than
you removed your first piece ... you may freely arrange the house until you decide to move out - but from that moment on, sorting is required ... ~*~ 20. May 2005, 21:59:11 Subject: Re: alanback: Modified by danoschek (20. May 2005, 22:27:36) yeah that's exactly what I have been suggesting since two years - btw faced just
worthless babbling back from the same pertinent source as latestly - won't control now if again he used his default insults calling everybody with some fantasy moron or paranoic ~*~20. May 2005, 21:38:02 Subject: Re: alanback: hehehe - could be ... for me it was surprising how little it's known in the states,
since we all play that way and our main minority the turks use to use the same rules ... :) it levels the disadvantage of the backhold strategy compared to 'fast' and 'blockade' ~*~ 20. May 2005, 21:30:11 Subject: Re: alanback: Modified by danoschek (20. May 2005, 21:30:30) nope that's okay - but if you have five checkers 3x on 5, 1x on 3 and 1x on 2
and roll 5/1 then you take 5 out once but must not make the others safe by moving 3-2 ... still 5 is the highest triangle and you have to move from there i.e. 5-4 - no fiddling. ~*~ 20. May 2005, 21:20:33 Subject: alanback: yes Modified by danoschek (20. May 2005, 21:21:48) basically it's what I mean. you may choose which of the dice to use first freely, no need
to bother with hypothetical impossibilities later, that's just part of the game. moving only from the topmost triangle means AFTER you started moving out stones from the board- ~*~ << < 1 2 > >> |
