Chatting with players during a match (kibitzing, etc.)

    Besides actually playing backgammon, chatting with other players is the most popular activity on FIBS.

    FIBS contains a variety of different chatting methods, which are used in different situations.

    Talking sends your message to a specific player, who must be logged in when you send the talk message. Talk messages can appear either in the main Chat window, or in separate windows (see Edit > Preferences > Chat).

    Messaging sends your message to a specific player, who may or may not be logged in when you send it. When you log in, any messages waiting for you will appear in the Chat window.

    Shouting broadcasts your message to all players currently logged in. You can use shouts to see whether anyone wants to start a match with you.

    Kibitzing broadcasts your message to all the participants (players and specatators) of a match. You must be playing or watching a match to kibitz. While kibitzing is the most popular way of chatting during a match, there are two related methods:

    Whispering broadcasts your message only to the spectators of a match. The players will not receive the whispered message.

    Saying broadcasts your message only to the players of a match. The spectators will not receive the message.
