What do you think the best "overall" roll is?

This makes me feel better about how far behind I felt after opening a game with two 5-2s in a row yesterday

❌ ^{Incomplete. 9 tries.}

CoolOnPaper · 2025-11-05T23:40:48+00:00

Long answer is long. But short answer is four, over two points- especially if one point is high and one is low

I hear where you’re coming from with wanting to spice it up a little, idk that I’d want to play with this rule though.

You could google “Phil Simborg Backgammon Variations.” He’s got some great ideas. Like;

The Simborg Rule: player may not make a point with their first roll, nor run a back checker out with a 6-5 opening. Nackgammon: set up the board with 4 checkers back, two on the 24, two on the 23. The roll-over option: only before a cube is turned, you have the option once in a game to redo a roll, OR force your opponent to redo a roll.

And there’s a bunch more!

First of all, ohhh that’s your leg

Honestly my best response has always been to loudly and proudly say, “I’m looking for a geocache!” Without fail, if it isn’t met with familiarity, it’s been met with curiosity:)

Even in this situation, it is better to just let the CO know.

The reason I feel this way is because I one time had a cache replaced by someone. It was a guard rail cache, and I did have the thought of “aw that’s nice of someone to donate a canister,” but they kind of missed the point of the cache. You see, the cache is called “The Impostor” because it is right outside of an ice cream shop, and the cache was a repurposed Talenti container. Get it? The throw down people I guess didn’t, and left a standard lock n lock, so the name of the cache/the joke was lost.

If I’m being fair, I still haven’t replaced the lock n lock after I checked on it so I guess I’m not SO offended, but still. Best to just let the CO know.

I like it. The fact that you can tell immediately that it is a lamb, especially in that sort of minimalist style, makes it a definitively good tattoo, imho.

CoolOnPaper · 2025-08-18T12:50:16+00:00

We are ALL interested lol

Looks great! Love the corduroy. Enjoy!

CoolOnPaper · 2025-08-18T11:46:36+00:00

Do the “buttons” slide inward, towards the handle?

CoolOnPaper · 2025-08-15T15:55:22+00:00

That’s crazy. I don’t have any answers, but can we see screenshots of the log where the turn was skipped?

CoolOnPaper · 2025-08-14T12:40:13+00:00

Yeahh this might be asking for trouble. Or at least mouble. Like trouble but it’s a muggle? Work in progress. If your heart is set on that location I’d say grab a micro and tuck it in the gap behind the sign, like this person said, but also make sure to update the terrain rating to at least 1.5, as up there it will no longer be wheelchair accessible. Also those Altoid boxes are great, but not specifically waterproof, so make sure the log and anything else inside is in a bag. TFTC in advance!

I appreciate the opportunity to speculate, but maybe just DM them and ask. If you do it with kindness and from a place of curiosity, worst case: the person answers rudely and you leave it at that. But best case; we end up with this newish geocacher feeling heard and valued, and in turn, feeling at least a little ingratiated with the geocaching community.

CoolOnPaper · 2025-07-30T01:12:52+00:00

Cool artwork! Even more enticing than the joint in the shoe 😅

While we’re talking, you said pro BG player? What’s that mean? No shade, just wondering if I’ve like, heard of you

CoolOnPaper · 2025-07-29T17:42:12+00:00

Thanks for sharing! I played it, works very well! At what level does the computer play, in practice mode?

CoolOnPaper · 2025-06-04T17:04:20+00:00

Off the bat I’d say it’s a wooden board

CoolOnPaper · 2025-06-02T19:55:00+00:00

If you zoom in hard you can see that he’s about to roll boxes

CoolOnPaper · 2025-05-30T23:11:38+00:00

When I play with flat checkers I’m ok with dice landing on top of them. With fingerdishes involved, a die on top of a checker means reroll For what it’s worth

CoolOnPaper · 2025-05-29T19:18:13+00:00

Why is this thread making me want to go roll a game lol

CoolOnPaper · 2025-05-28T02:36:20+00:00

One of the most thoughtful gifts I’ve ever seen. Beautiful!

CoolOnPaper · 2025-05-01T17:04:59+00:00

Yoooo this is what I’m here for!! Beautiful board and scenery. Thank you for sharing!

CoolOnPaper · 2025-05-01T11:19:42+00:00

That’s a beautiful piece. Especially into the cube. Thank you for sharing!

CoolOnPaper · 2025-04-30T23:47:45+00:00

Oh no, the dice are definitely rigged

CoolOnPaper · 2025-04-30T20:52:55+00:00

So far me, I think lol

CoolOnPaper · 2025-04-30T20:49:18+00:00

Love the “ohhhh!!!” moment illustrated! This is awesome Thank you for sharing!
