me....I play online sometimes....

[charliecharlie]

was thinking more of 'with a drink in the Magnolia' sort of thing, but online might be a poss

only thing is, I find that some play clockwise and some play anti clockwise

I'm a clockwise girl and get all discombobulated (lovely word that) when I meet the anti clockwise layout!

[Mikecg]

Oh! No, anti is the only way to play.

[charliecharlie]

oh dear, will have to retrain my brain

not a very experienced player but sometimes play on holiday and love it

thought it might be nice (ekk, memories of the 'Miles' debate about the word 'nice') to get a few interested players to meet up to play in ED

[Mikecg]

CC Foxtrot Victor Tango, do you have a decent board?, I am looking for a new one myself.

[charliecharlie]

got a cute roll up leather and suede one that's great for traveling the world with

bought it years ago from this shop... great range, shop's bit geeky and old fashioned but in a cool way

ps remind me what 'Foxtrot Victor Tango' means Mikecg

[Mikecg]

CC it's just that Charlie is the letter C in the phonetic alphabet, it was another poor attempt at humour from me.

Thanks for the link.

[charliecharlie]

ops... straight over my head::o

[charliecharlie]

this is the way I play it... I would be black (or brown in this case) and play clockwise could you be Persuaded(?)

Of course, it doesnt really matter what way you go around.

[charliecharlie]

s'pose it's what you get used to...

...teach an old dog and all that

hope you find a good board

[Mikecg]

Yes CC, the only difference really is the configuration of the checkers.

[Asset]

I can play both ways but would go with charliecharlie on the clockwise route preferably. I'm up for a backgammon game.

[will dex]

im not sure if i should post this in the "what to have for tea tonight", or "backgammon" threads. Anyway, here goes,

i just had gammon for tea and although i didnt play with it im glad to see thae back of it..

[V511]

You had gammon for your tea Will?...is this the 1970s?...

I'd be up for the odd game of backgammon Charlie. I have a set also if needed.

Simon

[charliecharlie]

let's go for clockwise then

and let's keep the thread alive and see if we can get 4/6 of us to kick off with a gamee or two, can't do this week, but early w/c 16th Feb would do me...:)

I'm bound to get thrashed but... hey ho, would be fun anyway:)

that's two sets (thanks Simon) my board's smallish but still nice to play with

[karter]

Hey charlies, we go way back don't we and you know we won't be too competitive. Bring it on...

[lozzyloz]

Would be interested in this. Away that week, but perhaps the next one. Keep me posted.

[charliecharlie]

GREAT:)) another one ... welcome LL

will keep you posted lozzyloz,

me too... can't do this week

what about 17th or 18th Feb??? at the magnolia

[KalamityKel]

Can I watch?

[charliecharlie]

sure KK, the more the merrier...you might want to play a game too... not sure it going to be super competative , just for the fun and just chat

what does everyone think is a good way of orgabising it via the forum????

is it best to PM everyone that wants 'in'????

or should I put it up on the 'what's happening in ED???

or both? first time I've arranged anything via EDF so advice welcomed :)

[Mogs]

I organise the Scrabble Meetups via Scrabble Meet Up it's fairly easy to use.

[charliecharlie]

had thought of it as more of an EDF thing, but thanks for the tip Mogs
