Is there a stop to Internet Backgammon cheaters?

Wish I knew when you were playing. But I find no way to identify ourselves.

And as inktoo asks, report any "sans-hacks' sites for our pleasure of a legitimate game.

Until then, I am boycotting the hacks by refusing to play them.  Makes for a miserable experience since I can find only about 1 in 20 players to play legitimately.

There are other gammon sites out there but the graphics are terrible. This is what has made Internet Backgammon as popular as it is,...is because of the graphics.

If there was another decent sight, I'm sure some crack-pot would develop some kind of cheat ware to ruin the game.

If these people can find a naive person who will sit there and not realize that they are being gamed,...

can they in their hart of harts think they have won?  This these are the tenets of a sociopath.

One who has no concise and feels achieved by gains from cheating. They are not interested in  building skills from practice and perfecting a skill. They are like children that never want to give up their training wheels.

The people who con up the soft-ware for cheating are the same personalities that sit for days creating virus's that destroy thousands of people's PC they don't even know.  What is the point? What do they gain? What do they get out of it? Are they the same people who want to harm or kill a famous person, just so they will be famous too?

We keep asking why do they do it? Is it a compulsion to cheat a system just because they can?

What kind of personal gain do they get from it?  Are they basically cyber bullies?

Imagine what they could do if they created a great game that could be sold?

Does their satisfaction lye in the fact that they are inherently disturbed people, that thrive on negativism, and reading these complaints that myself and others are posting is their reward, by the sheer fact they are effecting others they cannot reach otherwise

The idea that they have some kind of power or influence on other's enjoyment, that they (the effected) have no power to stop.

What a sad commentary on the part of this person's life. If they have the ability to create these programs, why don't they use it for something good. Maybe it's the fact that nothing positive stimulates them. They thrive off of negative energy.

At any rate how pathetic for them.

If anyone finds a decent internet backgammon site (sans hacks).  Please post!

Yes there is no doubt there are many cheaters out there. I believe this is the program they are using.

I get so PO'ed that once I was tempted to down load it my self, but thought what is the use, your not interested in that, what you want is a real player.

I must say they are getting more and more sophisticated in their use of the program. What they seem to be doing now is playing a legit game until they see you are gaining on them. Then all of a sudden there is a sense of urgency and the game changes fast. The doubles come out of nowhere and every other move is sheer perfection.

Some how they are so stupid they don't realize how easy it is to spot.

there is nothing a sociopath wants more than to win cheating or not. The worse thing you can do to them is not let them win, by just ditching the game at that point.

Do they think we are stupid? Ya, we're going to sit there and let them pick the numbers for themselves, and pick and even change the numbers given to you.

That has happened to me many times. a 4-5 can change to a 3-5 in a split second. At first I thought it was my eyes, until it started happening to often, and I started watching close.

Can you imagine how these people live other parts of their life's? A cheater us usually a thief too.

What I can't understand ,..is unless it is something in the cheat program, how I keep getting the same people.

I am so familiar with their personality on the board, the only time I can't guess them is when they start playing a legit game, but soon after I can see who I'm playing just by their style.

Seems even if I haven't played in a few days, but have dropped them for cheating they will open the game, roll one time and just sit there. I guess they feel if you finally leave the game, it is scored as a win for them.

Some how they have a way of identifying you. I could give a rats **** about games won and lost I play for the fun and skill of it.

It's a real shame the game is so prostituted it's not worth playing. Once in a great while you get a legit player, and it seems like heaven, even if they beat you.
