FIBS Board backgammon forum

Hello,

after this nice chat I had while playing with 'off_in_the_shower' I asked myself if it is possible to drop a game without getting a bad reputation. I just endured this (see below) because I was afraid of getting one because of dropping...

What would you have done?

Kind regards
VirginB

Ummmm.... you do realize that off_in_the_shower is a bot and is programmed to say everything it kibitzed during your game?

  ... errrrrrr... frankly? No.

So you say the bot just repeated things he'd just overheard in chats of other players?

Nice.

No, he's saying things he's been programmed to say.
But I heard a rumor that the things he DOES say were actually spoken by a certain FIBSter who shall remain nameless.

bot or not, thanks for shining some light on another example of rude behavior .. if nothing but a bot, it is almost humorous .. but i wasn't aware of it .. nor, i suspect, are many others, particularly newbies .. which is a good reason why i seldom recommend fibs to friends unless i know they have a good sense of humor and won't take this kind of stuff too seriously .. i mean, someday i'd like to play my grandchildren here - maybe even someday before they are forty and i'm ninety_something

while excerpts of transcripts like this are always subject to being taken with a grain of salt, maybe they will make others think twice about repeating the example and at least supply a good list of candidates for the villians list
