First of all Happy New Year to everyone when it arrives.
Secondly, wouldn't it be lovely if we all resolved to treat this as the game it is and to be polite and maybe even friendly to each other?
We're none of us perfect, I know, but surely there's enough anger in this world without bringing it to our card tables?
Very best wishes to all.
it would

Happy New Year to you Pauline and to all the Canasta players on GC. You are so right about the anger and the hurt to others. I want to apologize to any players that I might have hurt. Sometimes we do not intentially mean to hurt others but because we are communicating on the internet often the words we say are taken a different way than they would be in normal conversation. I know that my feelings have been hurt by others that probably did not intentially mean to be hurtful. We need to remember that life is too short and a game is a game.
God bless all

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.
