Yep, I used wifey's account LOL but that wasnt a secret
And yes Purple, he was too good cos he used programmes

23. Settembre 2004, 00:55:31

Glenda was not a KM operative

23. Settembre 2004, 00:59:07

No , but you offered to try to find a sponser for the account, it would have ended up being yet another AD type of thing wouldnt it

But thats all past now

23. Settembre 2004, 01:02:31

The KM did not authorize Glenda's cybering. Strictly a stevie idea. The reason is known to him alone. :)

I think (in the case of a time-out or a resign) rather that forfeiting 3x the dice, you should forefeit the current position of the board (ie: by resigning or timing out you send all of your opponent's pieces to the end). For example, if you already have one or more pieces off of the board, you forfeit 1x the dice. If you do not have any on the bar or in your opponent's home quarter, you lose 2x the dice, and if you still have one or more on the bar or in your opponent's home quarter you lose 3x the dice.

Argomento: Re: Pro Backgammon

The only problem with that is if a weaker player is playing against a much stronger player, they may just time out to lose less points then play it out to lose the max points. So to be fair to the player who does not time out, I believe it should be for the max points.

Yes - i'm saying they (time out and resign)should be treated the same.

If you are in a position where you ALREADY HAVE A PIECE OFF there is NO POSSIBLE way you can lose more than 1x the cube by finishing the game. Therefore, why make them forfeit more than that?

23. Settembre 2004, 04:52:11

coan.net

Are you talking about resigning a match or game?

If I understand it correctly, if they already have a piece removed (and cube not used), then that match is worth 1 point then they should be able to start the second match.

If a player is about to lose 1 point in the first match, but does not want to play the other matches - then he would forfeit the points from those also - to the max amount of points.

Why let a player get out of a game where the other person has a chance to get maximum points from them?

I'm talking about resigning a game which is part of a multi-point match with the cube.

I'm not saying a player should be let out a game where the other person has a chance to get maximum points from them. I am saying a player should be let out a game where the other person does not have a chance to get maximum points from them (for example, in a multi-point match with the cube where a player already has at least one piece removed, and therefore cannot possibly lose more than 1x the cube).

23. Settembre 2004, 11:53:57

I agree with Kevin. Timeout and resign should be worth 1xcube if the loser already has pieces off. I fail to see why timeout/resign should be penalized as there is no way more than 1x points could be lost even if the game had been played out.

But timing out or resigning before bearing off any pieces is a tricky situation because there could be a possibility that checkers can be sent back to bar. Maybe 2x points should be given after resign/timeout if all opposing pieces have passed each other and 3x otherwise.
