Msn zone backgammon Cheat

Anonymous

there is a msn zone backgmmon cheat that allow a player to stall the game then turn the timer against his opponent. It has happend to me 5 times in the last 10 days.

1- Player (A) use the cheat against player (B).

2- Player (A) stall the game.

3- Player (B) try to force player (A) to play by clicking on player info then the yes button to force player (A) clock to start but nothing happens.

4- It still show that it's player (A) to make a move but his timer doesn't start.

5- Player (B) still waiting for Player (A) to make his move and wondering why Player (A) timer didn't start!

6- Player (A) tells Player (B) that the dog ate the timer.

7- Player (B) timed out instead!! and lose the game inspite it was Player (A) turn to make a move and player (B) couldn't do anything to stop this cheat.

Is microsoft going to do anything about this? or maybe I should start looking for other gaming sites?

This has been happening for over 10 years now, it will never be fixed. About 1 out of every 10 matches with ranks over 2100 you will encounter a cheat. This is what I do...

Never play against "Guest" - they use Guest because they are blocked by so many players now.
When you know they are cheating, add them to your "do not match" list.

3. Quit the game and never deal with that pathetic loser again.

Help improve the backgammon community by losing gracefully and never stall. The person you are playing is not responsible for the dice roles they get. If anyone stalls you follow the same steps above. If EVERYBODY does this the losers will only be playing each other in a very short time.

P.S. The dice are random, they act exactly like real dice even though sometimes the roles seem incredible. If you play enough with real dice you will realize this.

The last time I faced with one of those back and forth thieves, I had 2240 points. The beast had something around 2150. At the first dice he started the trick and I left the game immediately, causing him/her to play against the computer.

The main issue is the lack of any action at MS side. They should be able to stop the leak that is making this trick possible.

The same is also true for the flushing trick on Spades which can be avoided by turning chat off.

MSN's dice program is the stupidest program I have ever seen. A third grader could write a better program. The dice do in fact know what is going on on the board despite MSN's assertions to the contrary. Any fool can see MSN's contentions are just a lie. The dice are also skewed terribly in favor of the higher rated player. MSN has converted the great classical game of backgammon and relegated it to a meaningless piece of smelly garbage that should only be called BACK-SCAMMON. MSN's game is a fraud. That makes MSN cheating fraudulent liars. KUDOS to MSN.

TO MSN:
```
 My backgammon opponent just rolled these sequence of dice prior to the end of the game: 
```
44, 11, 66, 33. LMFAO -you have ruined the great classical game of backgammon and converted it into a meaningless piece of **** as is evidenced beyond doubt by this sequence of rolls. Four sets of doubles in a row to finish the game. MSN cheats and then lies and says the dice are "random" when any fool can see that is just patently false. MSN's game is a fraud that should be called BACKSCAMMON.
