Backgammon Players?

[RyanLanane]

I played years back, never got into doubles.. never fully understood what a beaver was until tonight... And I know there is something besides a beaver pogo offers to, can't remember what it is but I still don't know what the hell it is.

Anyways, playing at http://www.truemoneygames.com - play money as I don't know their software yet and man some wild shit happened.. I got seriously pissed as all hell and it was play money I can't imagine if it was real money hahahaha..

Anyways, rather than rewriting here is the end of a 3 page e-mail I wrote them asking them questions

Note this is after it was a 32 game when he pulled a beaver...

"
Anyways... I had a game.. it was free money but still pissed me the HELL off. The other guy's home territory had 2 or 3 spaces with one piece on them. I had all my pieces in home (cna't remember if any had cleared the board or not) and I had one guy left as a loner in the 6 spot the rest were piled in 1-5. He of course came out of the rail and knocked me on to the rail by rolling a 6 ... Now he had open spots I could have rolled and come out of the middle and knocked his pieces sitting there alone putting him back into the rail..... In other words I could of rolled like a 3 or a 5 and it would of knocked him. All of a sudden he starts rolling non stop and I can't roll at all until he got all his pieces home and got A) His first piece cleared off the baord and the 6th space finally opened up for me to roll a 6, which I did and got all my pieces back into home territory at least but I left pissed off as I had no idea what just happened. My screen name is rml1608 or rml704... rml1608 I believe if you want to look up my last game.

I think there is some damn rule that isn't mentioned that basically locked my from rolling again until he got all his pieces into the home area safe and sound and I don't get hwo the hell it happened or when I agreed to it nor do I see any notes about such an option ... Please explain this stuff int his e-mail to me prior to me depositing money. I like your site MUCH better than game colony ESPECIALLY with the new software... The old software was horrid but I can't wait to play gammon with the new software.. A cleaner crisper board with better graphics would be nice... other than that it is 100000% more organized I couldn't even tell what I was looking at with your old lobby"


Some of that shit didn't need to be pasted but I'm too lazy to be deleted... Anyways any 'gammon players here know what might of caused such a run of events after he knocked me there? It totall confused the living shit out of me.. I said "WTH" to him and he said "I called a beaver" ... What the hell does that have to do with me not rolling till he gets his pieces home when his bases arent covered and I can roll out ? Wasn't even rolling my die at all...
