Title: Is Anyone With A Score Of 1650 Or Higher
Post by: snowjake on July 08, 2006, 03:14:11 PM
I just played someone named Hizll in a 3 point match. Hizll has a 1800+ score. After my 1st move (a 3&1)  I was doubled. Hizll was a poor player. I knew right away I had a dropper and sure enough, I was dropped before my last roll with only 2 piecies left on my 1 spot.

Should it be assumed beyond a shadow of a  doubt that anyone over a certain score is a dropper or a bot?

No!  I've been over 1650 and I'm no dropper.   <_<   However, many higher scores are obtained that way on FIBS.  It's too bad FIBS does not provide for dropper mischief, but FIBS is FIBS.  Love it or leave it.  It is what it is.   :)

Nor am  I a dropper (which explains my current plummet  :( ). There are many players rated highly who arent droppers.  Use repbot to help you figure out which are which.

Hi.

I am a dropping bot. I have been designed by an evil scientist and programmer named Mookie to frustrate on line bg players and to deliver pointless non-sequiturs in the chatroom. If there is any chance of you beating me during a match, I will begin sneering at you in foreign languages and questioning your sexual preferences. Then I will drop you just before the last roll. You have been warned. Play people at your own level, and you won't get hurt.

My bad play got even worse these days, but my inside knowledge about screwing the dices made me win. Interesting fact, as nobody complained, nor dropped..  ;-) Could be that they screw better or deeper ?

Have fun and good dices.

:D
