    Do you know how GNU defines lucky and unlucky rolls? If not, RTFM. If so, why are you asking a question you already know the answer to?

    It is not a "yes/no" but a "why" question.

    So "yes" what? "Yes lucky"? "Yes unlucky"?

    Are you so lazy to type one more word to
    make what you write clearly meaningful?

    I think he knew the answer but asked
    anyway to see if you knew it also... ;)

    I was trying to sucker our world-class
    professional gamblegammon player
    to "stick" :) his other foot in his mouth
    but he must have realized what he had
    said and instead deleted his above post.

    Because Nasti had used two negatives
    in his question, (i.e. "doesn't" and "unlucky")
    it's easy to misunderstand it and I think
    that's what stick did. So, he answered
    back by saying, in effect, "yes it's unlucky
    because it dupes 4's"... :))

    It looked Dobbeltfirere! bad on stick. :((
    And so, he erased his post, which is a
    world-class indication that Nasti was
    justified in asking his question.

    Yet, in other words, you help you all
    understand, if stick was right (which
    he was!) in his comment in his erased
    post, then there must be a problem with
    Gnubg's marking rolls lucky/unlucky
    (which is true!)...

    Gnubg is good in some aspects but it's
    nothing more than gilded piece of shit
    in others... :((

    I think Stick just accidentally posted in the wrong thread.
    It happens.

    Yes, as noted before, my reader garbles things up at times and things are in the wrong place or at least appear in the wrong place to me so I double posted basically.

    Them dang computers always do all kinds of
    weird things... :(

    so I double posted basically.

    Is there also a way to post "non-basically"...?

    Your overly underworded post didn't basically
    make sense, so unlike Tim, I didn't take upon
    myself to assume that you had posted in the
    wrong thread but instead I basically asked for
    you to clarify, (took the opportunity to make a
    few comments of my own in reply to Nasti).

    Obviously you must be conceited to think you
    are to good to converse directly with some of
    us but you could have corrected yourself by
    following up of to your own post. Instead you
    chose to delete it.

    "Deleting posts ... the weakest of sauces", eh?

    Here is an uncharacteristically long post from you:

    Which can be basically shortened to this: ================================================

    Deleting posts ... the weakest of sauces.

    Look who is talking about deleting posts!
    At least I deleted my own posts, for a good reason,
    as opposed to you who deleted/censored other
    people's posts in your forum for bad reasons!

    Oh donkey kong, posts were never censored or deleted
    on my forums except on the super rare occasion a valid
    reason came up for it to happen. The option for users to
    edit their own posts after posting or to delete them was
    toggled off for a reason. I had one user request all his
    posts be deleted but there was no good reason other
    than he was done posting. It's fine that he's done but if
    you start deleting posts then other posts replying to the
    original posts cease to make sense. To this day you can
    still find my middle of the night drunk ranting posts, you
    can find all the glorious posts that accused me of cheating,
    all the posts I'd have a reason to delete, all there. So for
    the people in the back who didn't hear it the first time and
    maybe it'll sink in this time for you ...

    deleting posts, the weakest of sauces.

    Stick
