I am fairly new to this site, and for the most part I have really enjoyed playing here. One thing I don't understand (which really does not have to do with the actual site), is the number of people that challenge and they haven't even asked for a game. I have been in the lobby numerous times with players and they never asked for a game. They leave the lobby and go challenge me. It's almost like some people just want to try to make you drop 2 rungs. Why not ask me to play when we are both on instead of leaving to challenge? There's one player that has never ever asked me for a game in the lobby, but he/she challenges every time; then waits until the last day of the challenge to ever show up to play a game. You know when this person challenges then you will not see them for 6 days. There's also those people that play you then immediately go challenge you. If you ask me, then that is not fair to other people that want to challenge. I just thought I would get this off of my chest about the people that challenge and don't ask for a game first. I understand when someone asks me for a game in the lobby but I can't play at the moment, so they go challenge me. That's what I think a "challenge" is for, or if a player at the top is never on to play then challenge them so you can get a game in. Some people just take advantage of the challenge button. You see some names on there everyday with a challenge against someone. They play one challenged player then move on to challenge another. I think some people are "challenge" happy!  Most of the people that challenge me are people that I play every day or so. BUT, if they go one day without a game then they are off to challenge.
I have really enjoyed playing on this site and most of the people on here are very polite. Thanks for letting me vent!

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.
