Let's Hear it for Backgammon!

Hello everyone.
Backgammon is my favourite board/dice game. It can be fast, furious and lots of fun, or it can be full of surprises and changes of tempo. When our younger daughter comes to visit, out comes the Backgammon set.

I began to look for a site on the internet where I could play online and just over a year ago I joined in with a site whereby I could play people all over the world. The only problem was that it was very slow inasmuch as it sometimes took a couple of days between moves. Enjoyable as it was beating opponents in the States and losing to a lady from Iceland, I soon become disenchanted and dropped out.

I recently found another site and joined in to play, as I thought, fellow backgammon players who enjoyed a nice friendly game but, no, they would start a game and suddenly a message would appear telling me they had now gone offline. I was playing someone in France when he/she wrote a message "un peu plus vite, svp". I tend to take my time (and there is no time limit in the official rules!) and felt that this person was not happy. However it turned out that the server was slow at that time. Apology forthcoming ... non! I have now dropped out due to refusals to play, with no explanation.

I looked at another group where I played for a while last year only to find a warning that play is casual on part of the site and "cyber-sex is optional!".
Needless to say I decided against that one ... for now! (LOL)

So it's back to playing on my own for the time being. Unless ...
