Am I in the wrong place?

I joined very recently. Based on my experience from a past cribbage site, I decided to say nothing. All went well until today a player felt the need to type “ congratulations champ. You < profanity edited >. Is this typical? Are nonchatting players not welcome? Thx

I've been on this site for 20 years. Generally, players will accept a non-chatting opponent if you say hi, gl or gg. Chat during the game is not required. Non chatters are of course welcome, but take it from a vet who has been around a long time, your being friendly whether you are online OR in person goes a long way towards relationships in general. Imagine if we met in person you said hi to me and I just stood there ignoring you. How would that make you feel? I'm not saying that is what happened with your game, but I've found typing two little letters (gl) or (hi) receives a much better response than silence. It is a choice that each player has to make.

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.
