The red thumb system is dumb and doesn't work.

Post by avalonmemoir »

I hate the red thumb system so much, telling people they've had lucky dice rolls in backgammon isn't being aggressive, it's about starting conversation.


But for some reason people on BGA have a hard time accepting that rolling a exactly what they needed was lucky instead of masterful strategy on their part.

Utterly ridiculous

Sure, that's a very nice way to start conversation : "hey, just want to say you are not good at that game but you were lucky instead". I dont understand how can people be offended by that and block you....
