Internet Playing Site Wish List

In Response To: Internet Playing Site Wish List (Jason Lee)

Even the people who know the dice are jacked up say they want it that way, and they want their backgammon played with that kool aid mix, and think everybody should be playing that way.

And that is what it comes down to. Even after they know the dice are bad, they STILL want them badly. SO much so that hosting groups were going to pull up their tournaments and go elsewhere (Of course they wouldn't have had many choices except one - rengamesonline.com who coincidentally used the same dice code as SHG at the time). SHG poisoned the well, but in a way that poison was not so poisonous at all, and they built up an immunity to it, and like an addict they want more, even though they know it is bad for them ;-).

I think SHG represents a case where changing the dice has a dramatic impact on how people perceive the fairness of luck in the game.

I suggested to SHG that on April Fools day that they remove all the doubles from the social (non tournament) rooms to see if anyone would complain ;-)
