i dont get why ppl use programes n e way wheres the fun in it

Besides of using programs must be very "satisfying" to those players.... see what the FlyOrDie Rules of Use say about this issue:

"... Using a computer to decide your moves in a board game (specifically chess, checkers, reversi, gomoku, nine men's morris, go, four in a row, pente and backgammon) on FlyOrDie is allowed.
FlyOrDie members have the right to know if they are playing against a computer. Therefore FlyOrDie uses a system to detect suspected program use, which will be indicated on the concerned players' info screen with a small icon."

So its up to you if you play against them - but theres no reason to complain about players who use a program in the mentioned games.

> So its up to you if you play against them

That's not correct nextball. First of, your system is not waterproof, it always takes awhile before you detect a programmer. Secondly, if I play a rated game, then I don't want to compete with payers who do not have to do any effort whatsoever to gain points. That I do not have to play them directly doesn't mean it is not disavantuous towards fair players.

If you want a foolproof system, go install a webcam in every house in the world (at your own expense) and watch the people you are playing with that.

Since thats obviously not practical, quit whining about program play. It IS allowed on FlyOrDie, and there IS a system to detect those players. It may not be a perfect system, but nobody truly expects it to be perfect.

It is up to you to decide if you wish to play a specific person or not.

Is that the best you can with up with? If you want to become a good moderator and mature person, stop being cynical and try to reply according to the arguments I provided.

> quit whining about program play

Read all topics in games like chess, gomoku, four in a row...the one thing that people hate are programmers. We don't whine for nothing.

> It IS allowed on FlyOrDie, and there IS a system to detect those players. It may not be a perfect system, but nobody truly expects it to be perfect.

Stop being hypocritical: Either you allow the use of a program completely, either you don't allow it. Currently FOD' attitude towards program use is very ambiguous. You allow the programmers, yet you say "ooh, watch out, he programs"

What's the sense of a program detector if it is not work fullproof anyway?

> It is up to you to decide if you wish to play 
a specific person or not.

No it is not, see earlier post.

Stop complaining. If you think you can make a foolproof program detector I'm sure you will be willing to donate the code to Solware. I'm sure they would be willing to give you a golden star for your "contribution". Maybe they should give you one now for the "I think I can use big words" award. I vote you ;)
FOD allow you to use a program but just be happy they give you the want-aways any warning at all :|

Oh and just to let you know - Veriac is actually a very good moderator and has been for a long time.

At the end of the day they could just not reply to your posts knowingly the fact that no matter if it's your view or anyone else's they will still be making money from all those subscribers ;)

Dude, read my post thoroughly. I never said I can make a fullproof program detector. I said the system is clearly ambiguous. If you find that a big word, I suggest you check it in a dictionary. Furthermore I would appreciate you crawl back into the hole you came out from. ;)

century king i understand ur scard that if programs wernt aloud ur get banned more but no need for the comments sir. btw iv been here longer than u and i know all the rules because iv been banned for breaking most them ;) and wheres my gold star:(.

Very well said D-dog ;)

Hey Nameless, what's up. I and a lot others agree 100% of your logic. In your earlier post, when you wrote that link ;) click on it... the author of the post is Cyclonic_blues... what does his topic say? We don't like programers... Don't you find that kind of ironic? because he uses a program aswell, and in his info. he has the sign, but he's sick of programers? What a Joke!!! quite sad too be honest... and than he tries to get me banned when I was telling people not to play programers by sending useless screen shots thinking that no one will play him. I'm trying to get rit of all the programers, but I quess he wants to send screenshots trying to stop my act. and we don't like programers? So your saying you don't like yourself basically. funny and sad at the same time...

i agree with nextball if the sytem says u can use program u can use fair as ;)



Cyclonic_blues

So you've been here since 2001? And you have been banned more then me?

That's nice to know. Thanks for expressing an interest into my life.

As for the program thing there's no need to understand because I only play Snooker Lite.

if the sytem says u can use program u can use fair as

It's funny how all of a sudden you aren't complaining about program use, when just a few days ago you made a topic crying about the fact people use them.

lol this 1 martin?
