The most precious thing anyone can have is the good will of others. It is something as fragile as an orchid. And as beautiful! As precious as a gold nugget - and as hard to find. As powerful as a great turbine and as hard to build. As wonderful as youth. As hard to keep.
Amos Parrish

Fame is what you have taken,
Character's what you give;
When to this truth you waken,
Then you begin to live.
Bayard Taylor, "Improvisations"

And who are the greater criminals -- those who sell the instruments of death, or those who buy and use them?

Cursed be the social wants that sin against the strength of youth!
Cursed be the social lies that warp us from the truth!
Cursed be the sickly forms that err from honest Nature's rule!
Cursed be the gold that gilds the straiten'd forehead of the fool!
Tennyson -- "Locksley Hall"

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.
