Here's a friendly little shout-out to adults who can't seem to manage a friendly game of backgammon.

chryktus:
good match, thanks


(name redacted):
I didn't think it was a good match. It's not that you played better than me,. I analysed the match and tou did outplay, and you deserve creidt for it. I have no problem that..
What I do have a problem with is having 4 games where my luck is so bad that GnuBg puts it in the "you might as well go to bed" category. Even that's not the problem. That's what luck does, to me and to my opponents.
No, the problem is the insensitivity of saying "Good match" to an opponent who you beat 5-0 largely because they got terrible luck all through the match. I'm sure you didn't intend it to be offensive but but in this kind of circumstance that's how it comes across.

So, well played. Next time, please commiserate me on my awful luck. Keep the "good match" for when it was a fair fight. :-)

He's gone Flinstones sent him back to his planet years ago.

Hi,

As I said the other place you posted this, regardless of your opponent's behavior, it is not okay to publicly chide them about it here in the forums. Please also refrain from posting the same message in more than one place. I've closed this thread, leaving the other one open.
