Czuch Czuckers: LOL, why do u say that

Czuch Czuckers:  I like it.  What's wrong with it?

Gr☺uch☺: Me too, its a funny lol

NewYear is soon:  I must not be very good.  I don't think I've won a game yet and have only about a 1300 rating.  ! ;)

Gr☺uch☺:I am not doing to bad at it, still trying to understand the pointing system in the cubed version.

Czuch Czuckers: I totally agree, very dumb. Obviously not play tested before introduction to the site.

grenv:  What's dumb about it?  I haven't tried the cubed version yet.

Gr☺uch☺: I dont like anti because it can last way too long, and this new variant can be even worse! Plus i am frustrated that I had was only a couple moves from a decisive victory in one game, and now just like that there is no end in sight to this game!

Czuch Czuckers: So you aren't a Go player, are you?

joshi tm: not yet! Should I be?

Anyone interested in the score system of Cloning Backgammon: At first, you totally right when you say the scoring is not correct. It is already a big advantage to have extra pieces on the board, and even 21-point cube matches can be (will be) completed in one single game if played correctly. In the past, I thougt that cloning makes a disadvantage, but playing the game here at BK showed otherwise. This has to change.

In fact, the game is invented by me, so a rules change cannot be done if I don´t agree.

My proposal is:

Score only for games, gammons, or backgammons (multiplied by the cube). Don't score for anything else.

Anyone agreed? Post it on the boards.
Anyone disagreed? Post it on the boards, but please MOTIVATE your disagreement or give ideas for improvements. So don't post that CG sucks, but post WHY it sucks (and what could be done to make it better).

Thanks a lot.

joshi tm: I agree 100% with what you said and with returning to the standard scoring system. For the few games I played, CG looks like a great variant to me. Only could it benefit from a good auto-pass feature :-)

nabla: I think that the standard scoring system should be used.

joshi tm:
As soon as I get some experience I will form an opinion about scoring...by the moment I respect opinions from those who already experienced the game.

Gr☺uch☺: The rules are arbitrary and don't work well. As a result the game will never finish if played properly by both players.

Why ROMANIA is back on the ratings?

gogul: They are no longer playing on the site, but a 21 point match just completed giving him another rating. Just wait 30 days, and they will again drop from the ratings list (like all inactive pawns do)
