Thank you for Manual Scoring Posted by Moojus (VIP) Apr 6 2006 5:18PM Dear Webmaster and GC Staff: Thank you for taking the time and effort to implement manual scoring for cribbage. The penalty for claiming more points than allowed is great! This matches the American Cribbage Congress (ACC) rules for over pegging. This can be located in the ACC Official Tournament Rules (eff 08/01/2004) section 8.4.c(1) page 24. ", the peg shall be moved back to the correct hole and the opponent scores the amount of the error." This feature, I believe, is unique to Game Colony (in the internet world). This places GC as the prime place to play competitive cribbage on the internet. There are many people that are biased against internet cribbage because the programs perform the counting. For this reason, there are a lot of serious cribbage players that will not play online. The uniqueness of this MAJOR improvesment to cribbage on Game Colony eliminates this bias and reasoning. Again, I thank everyone for their effort in this improvement. Disclaimer: I have no vested interest in Game Colony. I am just a paying/playing member of game Colony (approx 4 years). I have been a member of the ACC for over 10 years. I currently am on the ACC Board of Directors and I am the ACC Internet Cribbage Commissioner and I am an ACC-certified tournament judge. Bob 'Moojus' Milk More Manual Scoring improvements coming... Posted by webmaster (moderator) Apr 6 2006 10:29PM Thank you for trying out Manual Scoring. Over the next few days, we'll be adding more improvements and fixes to Manual Scoring. We'd appreciate any Contact-Us reports on this version. Tried it. once... Posted by purple-planet Apr 11 2006 10:16PM I played my first manual game the other day...it really requires some brain-thinking....sometimes this is hard, but I agree it is a nice option (mostly I'm too lazy though!) On another note, thank you to Moojus for being so "professionnal" and especially knowledgeable (and kindly sharing your wealth of knowledge), but more importantly for sharing your love, appreciation and interest in this "game". You are a great role model and I thank you. One quick question...isn't it impossible to have a 19 point hand? How come then, in manual scoring it is in the pull-down list....just to confuse people? Hehehe ...this is no ordinary game site....not when we have such extra-ordinary people and players Lisa (aka Purple-Planet) Manual Posted by rmcusnret (VIP) Apr 12 2006 8:54PM I believe it slows play---and I dont think I would change what cards I throw whether it be computer generated or manual---as far as counting---I can count but as you go older 70+ it slows me down and I like to play fast--the computer is not going to cheat me LOL and when I play non-computer, I count just fine 15 2 15 4 and 8's a dozen LOL or 45556 is 15 2 4 6 8 and 15 is 23 etc...etc... so what is the point?? been playing for lets see---hmmmmmm 50+ years---not when I was underway in the navy LOL---I just dont understand it?----and either way no big deal tks frank mazzola rmcusnret i love it too Posted by utahma (TD) Apr 13 2006 9:25AM tried it out the other day - don't get to count much since hubby quit playing me (he taught me how and ditched me when i started whomping him all the time hahahahaha). This adds a little challenge, which I have been missing, and I appreciate the change - great suggestion players, and wonderful way to keep Game Colony bigger and better ALL the time :) Love you all :) Christy aka utahma |
