Scarabin Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 A testiment to sheri's bad play- there is nothing to be gained by ruffing spades- need to setup diamonds.Can understand you are trolling to provoke a reaction from Fred, but attacking Sheri is a bit too low for my taste and, I imagine, for yours? Don't you think you should apologize? I corresponded with Sheri when seeking a copy of BaseIII and found her a very gracious lady.

cloa513 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 What that Fred is a poor teacher and bad example chooser- he is desperate to give GIB a good name rather than fix GIB's bidding system to a high level of detail and cross-check the play to see its doing what its supposed - rather they slooping in ill-formed new conventions and fix a small number of the bugs.

fred Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 he is desperate to give GIB a good name...Actually I just thought it was an amusing hand and that those with a sense of humor and/or the ability to appreciate a good play might enjoy seeing it.

Codo Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Is it just a coincidence that the output of cloa reminds me of the input to a cloaca? I enjoyed the counterplay of GIB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from being rude and hurtful, you are likely to misapprehend their purpose and be unfair? Suppose I decide to treat robots as human as I initially did. This gives a richer experience but to a double dummy observer with knowledge of robot habits the play seems poorer. On a human basis the "falsecard" in Fred's example is the sort that Reese used to make in his heyday. And was highly praised for making. Personally I have given up criticizing GIB. I made my suggestion for what it's worth. To persist is like "flogging a dead horse", and decisions about GIB's future are commercial decisions and not mine to make.
