PLAYER SPORTMANSHIP!

I AM 83 & I LEARNED CRIBBAGE SOME 65 YEARS AGO. IT WAS CONSIDERED A "GENTLEMEN'S GAME". WE DID NOT EVEN CUT FOR EACH HAND. SOME PLAYERS OFTEN MAKE RUDE REMARKS WHEN LOSING & ONE IN PARTICULAR MAKES COMMENTS ABOUT RULES, EVEN WHEN HERE IS NO REASON TO DO SO. I GOT SO FRUSTRATED AT ONE PLAYER THAT I HAD TO TAKE SOME TIME OFF TO COOL DOWN. I WOULD PREFER PLAYING THOSE WHO NEVER TALKS OR GREETS YOU, THEN SOME OF THOSE WHO TAKE THE FUN OUT OF PLAYING. CRIBBAGE SHOULD BE ENJOYABLE "WIN OR LOSE". TY, JONWIL

You are so right. I , for one, can't bear rude people. However it has been my great pleasure to come across many players here, who I very much enjoy playing, yourself and Tenuvus being 2 of them. Do your best to rise above them.
Your friend, Pauline

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.
