I THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA IF YOU REDUCED THE TIME LIMIT ON THE LOST CONNECTION 4 MINUTES IS A LONG TIME TO WAIT.IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA IF YOU REDUCED IT DOWN TO 1 OR EVEN 2 MINUTES.SOME PEOPLE JUST DONT LIKE TO WAIT THE FULL 4 MINUTES FAR TO LONG
TIME PLEASE

I agree disconnects are annoying to say the least... Unfortunately, they are the way of life on the internet. There is no way around them. Because disconnects are unavoidable, Gamecolony implements extensive reconnection facilities. The limit on reconnection is 5 minutes. 5 minutes is usually enough for even slower systems/dial-up connections to be restored. If there is less then 5 min reconnection option, a lot of players will not be able to reconnect in time. So the 5 min. reconnection rule stays.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
