APRIL FOOLS!!!

April fools 🤣

I'm surprised you fell for it. It seemed obviously a prank to me as soon as I saw it.

Read down the page....

How do you get to rules you are talking about?

Just read it...was intrigued until I got to the rules then it dawned...hilarious....a very good prank.....

I never had much impetus to lie for any reason. Even lying for a prank you have become a person who cannot be trusted for truthfulness. The joke is on you.
Nonetheless I fell for { Player: Mercir }'s April Fool joke and found it delightful.

I agree, so many songs

"Full speed ahead!"

Impossible. In my case it will always be the last song I heard which managed to lodge itself in my brain and play in a loop. Today, for some reason it's Yellow submarine, but tomorrow or in an hour it will be something else.

That would be the title cut of "Aja" by Steely Dan from 1977.

It seems the majority of goldtokenites don't want it to begin with. Politics is far from a favorite topic here. And I agree. It shouldn't be here.

I think your keyboard is broken. There is something wrong with your puncuation keys....

Yes, and religion

I know, so a rather pointless statement

Where is the politics board?

This is NOT the politics' board

You personally?

why not play Hypergammon.
3 checkers each and a race around the board,
get to home base and exit all 3 checkers to 'WIN".
2/1 in Backgammon is the worst opening you can get, usually people play
2 down and one above.
BUT- in Acey Doucey 2/1 is the BEST" roll you can get for a faster win..
remember, "TO COMPETE IS TO WIN".
This is Backgammon defined----
THE BEST OFFENSE IS A GOOD DEFENSE'
THE BEST DEFENSE IS A GOOD OFFENSE'.

The same words explain Martial Arts too.
also, you set up blocks in your games 'TOO'.
WHAT GOES ONE WAY GOES THE OTHER.
This applies to ;Board Games.

Run on sentences with no punctuation.

I always get blocked o well it's a game and she is right if u don't like how this site runs things please go somewhere else psst .u won't find another awesome site like this .

GeorgeF if you don't like the way the game is played here, then go find a game site that plays it the way you want. But for heavens sake, quit whining here.

Without blocking the game becomes pure chance and whoever rolls the best would win. You might as well just toss a coin.

You just take care of you and rest as much as you can..

yes it would it would then make the opponants usee their ability to put smart their opponant on moving to get around the board as fast as possible

I love acey-deucy as it's unpredictable and it just wouldn't work without blocking

If you google, blocking in acey deucey heres what it says


Strategy: Because the roll of 1-2 is so powerful, luck plays a greater part in acey-deucey than in regular backgammon. You are never completely out of a game. On the other hand, since you start with fifteen men back, there is some added opportunity for skill in placing your checkers to block the opponent.

Typical strategy is to get at least half your checkers on the board as quickly as possible and form them into a blockade.

Get well .games will wait ♥️♥️

Thank you I will

you just get yourself all better, games can wait

Wanted to say, won't be on as much. At rehab and only one tablet, not used to that so,I do what I have to do. Thank you for understanding.

You know asking GT to change rules on a game that has been around for a long time is presumptuous of you. That's not what GT would do. I have a very simple solution for you to the blocking problem. DON'T PLAY THE GAME... No problem left.

Speaking of "people would find another site to play backgammon on", as Jools mentioned, yes they would. After all, there are so many other sites that allow blocking, as per the way backgammon was meant to be played.

Perhaps just find a variant that suits you (tawula maybe), obviously standard rules don't suit you.
Perhaps if there was support for this variant GT might create it?
If GT were to change the rules just for your benefit I'm sure many people would find another site to ply BG on

no its blocking the opponant so he or she cant make ny moves to get to their home and the person that blocks always wins and thats what alot of ppl do in here thats why im poed

Question: What does blocking mean in backgammon? I have played a whole lot of backgammon games since I joined in 2004. I don't believe I have ever been blocked. I have resigned from games when winning isn't possible and I see that it is a waste of time to continue playing. I concede the game to my opponent, & go on my way. I don't think anyone has been offended by it. Or are you talking about being blocked by someone who doesn't want to interact with you? If the latter is the case, people have a right to do that if they are feeling harassed. It seems rather obnoxious though if people are blocking others permanently just to win a game.

no im not an u need to mind ur own business like i said if ya have to block it means ya just cant win in astatagy race around the board to win

Blocking has been part of BG strategy for hundreds of years.
The one version of BG I hate is moultzim, no strategy whatsoever and reliance purely on what dice are thrown. Whoever gets good dice early in the game is almost certain to win. Oddly it's boring because it relies on blocking, but the bar isn't used.
Sounds to me like you're just a sore loser and need to grow up

My little niece always cries when she gets blocked. Learning to play games, and all of the nuances is part of growing up.

I guess I'm confused about your question as it looks like you're winning in this game despite being blocked. Blocking doesn't guarantee a win, it's just part of a normal strategy.

...be patient...

use your head man ya cant block if ya cant make a move being blocked

When your opponent blocks, take a breath and don't forget, so can you.

if ur opponant is gonna block u so u cant move almost the whole game you might as well make a duplicate profile and play yourself then

Rolling dice is part of the game. Moving pieces is part of the game. Blocking is part of the game. Sending your opponent to the bar is part of the game. Bearing off is part of the game.

but again if u play an itellegent game and just move to get around the board 1st it would be more fair too win that way

Blocking in Backgammon is an important strategy of the game. To think it's unfair would be like saying it's unfair to protect your king in Chess, or to play trump in card games.

Blocking your opponent is part of any strategy. If you get blocked then oh well.

It's this game #14686093 His move #37 he rolled a 1-2 and was unable to use it in Acey Deucey, because I had him blocked.

I'd say blocking is an essential tactic in backgammon and its variants.

acey duecy

Not sure what games you are talking about, but sounds like perhaps you need to work on your own strategy

sounds like a good idea to me as alot of ppl cant win without blocking and thats bs

If it's valid in the normal rules then it's valid here. Changing valid rules doesn't seem a good idea.
If you don't like being blocked, play a game where it's not possible

Which game? In some games it's a valid tactic.

i dont think blocking your opponant in a game is fair do you think gold token outtaa change the rules to no blocking allowed intentionally in game with an opponant

That's fantastic new Steve, She really should rest a few days to get used to being home.. Rehab is a very stressful enviourment. Send her my love..

Lil Red, I went in the Hospital for knee surgery, was in the Hospital for a month and ended up with Triple Heart Bypass. Long recovery but getting better every day, so hang in there kiddo, it will get better for you too.

Take care. The diagnosis is often more scary than the condition. My wife was diagnosed with a heart condition a few years ago and has had two operations since but life us more or less back to normal fir her

Oh sweetie. Take care of yourself and don't go stressing out on anything.. You are in the hospital and they are taking care of you.. Just listen to the doctors and nurses,

I agree with Pepperbeach, maybe a nice nurse will fix your heart.. LOLOLOL

Prayers

Oh no.....I bet you are scared. You are in my prayers sis and remember to follow doctors orders and let them get the test done. Look at being in the hospital someone is taking care of you and waiting on you. Maybe a good looking RN might pop in your room and bingo loves at first site....lol

You take care and hurry home and let us know what is going on.
You know the power of prayer is powerful and we all are praying for ya...

I'm trying best😢

Honey, I know several with that diagnosis and while it's scary, they've had it for years and years. Just follow your doctor's instructions.

Yes

Hang in there! 🦥

Dry dog food is a gateway to wet dog food, no?

I wonder what was missing in our diets...

Me to with the dog food! lol

I honestly can't think of anything. I was a fussy eater as a child. All the "weird" things I at as a child I still enjoy and I'm probably even more willing to try weird things now.
There are certainly a few "unusual" things I've tried as an adult I definitely wouldn't eat again.

My sister ate dirt and stones as a child. Not enough minerals in her diet...

Manly yes but..I like it too!

Yes it appears plink was a UK thing, no idea why it was changed.
Maybe plop-plop was associated with

In the U.S. it was "Plop, plop, fizz, fizz..." for Alka-Seltzer. Maybe "Plink..." elsewhere?

I think it's plink not plop

Yes I have collected a few that way.

Don't forget to look for the freebies through the Banner Board.

I was browsing a couple different opponent profiles this afternoon and really got into looking at all the tokens. Some players seem to have a lot and others have a few. Anyhow I just wanted to say that I really appreciate them. They're kind of fun and show a lot of creativity. Somebody's got a lot of imagination.
