Forced moves.

Would it make sense to make players have to click through them, before they get to the position where it's their roll, when players log in?

Some sort of moral punishment

Why? To give the unpleasantly lucky guys some guilt trip for the doubles they have rolled?

Yes, yes, yes!

No.

I'd turn them back on if this happened.

I'd turn them back on if this happened. I always seemed to be on the receiving end of comebacks, until I turned the forced moves off and all of a sudden I was getting my fair share

D to you too WhiteSoxGirl

But no, I'm not talking about turning them off. I can't imagine that rolls would be effected by that, hopefully.

Slight misunderstanding

I didn't mean the rolls are affected by turning on or off forced moves. It was just I never saw it when the dice were on my side so I have turned off the forced moves so I can enjoy getting the doubles and bear off myself.

I'd turn back on forced moves if I still had to click each move myself, even though the computer and opponent knows the outcome and are several moves ahead until I log in and catch up.

Bear with me.

For a little longer. Now, if you want to see the forced move(s) that were made automatically, you can do that by hand, going back a few moves or to the start of the game, and click your way to where it is your move. If ZE gives you the position from where the forced moves started to occur, you can see the rolls and moves as they came along. No psychology involved, just laziness.

Yawn...

Whitedice, I am agreeing with you.

I know I can go back through the positions, but I'm not going to do that. I'm presented with a board and I really don't want to go back to the start of the forced moves to see how the position developed. Far easier, and much more enjoyable, to turn off forced moves. I still want to make my moves, whether they are forced or not, but that shouldn't stop the game progressing.

May the ...

True, but doesn't turning them off also effect the other players' games?
