As an Aussie I cannot express the sadness I feel at the loss of life and those left homeless by the devastating bushfires in Victoria yesterday and today. Makes you appreciate what you have and how precious life is

I may be on the other side of the world and in freezing temperatures, but my heart goes out to all those affected.

I listened to the devastating news today on CNN only to see peoples homes being destroyed immediately and cars being burned trying to get out...my thoughts and prayers go out to all of those who either lost a loved one or personal property, Thinking of all of you, Linda

My son is in Melbourne and just a week ago spent a weekend in one of the areas that is now devasted. Yes, life is precious and what we take for granted can so quickly go. I count my blessings and feel for those who have lost so much.

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.
