Yes Scooby you lose a point for not accepting the double - a practice that I was not familiar with. Backgammon is new to me and definitely not my game of choice - would rather play pachisi. I just don't think you should be forced to end a game when there may still be a chance. I have seen too many times someone win who was far behind. Granted, you win 2 points if you come from behind and win, but I don't like being penalized 1 point for not accepting. I am here to have fun, and if I only wanted to play 1 hand (or 2) I wouldn't set my table for 3 points or more. 2 lucky roll games and you have lost the match when you started out to play for 3 points which to me is at least 3 rounds. Sorry, I know I am whinning and this is no one's fault ( yes it is, won/flipside's for doing away with our room for chisi). I just miss the ladders room, playing with people I had gotten to know, and now can't find them and I spend more time looking at the chat screen than playing. It was never like that with won and I am frustrated over this. Chisi had become a good friend to me since I travel so much and often can play from my hotel room to keep me company. Now I have this site that is so inadequate in comparision. I am just lonely and miss ladders. What else can I say?
