I had to install Sun javaruntime again for some programms, ....jeezes, gamecolony doesn't react too well on 1.4.(1,2) luckily the 1.4.06 is abit better. Finally I can play 1 minute games again without losing 80% on time .
Anybody else got some problems with these plugins?

Three things may make the game/display slow or may cause freezing effect:
(1) display issues (2) connection lag or packet loss (3) brand of Java you are using
(1) select Control Panel / Display / Settings. If Color is set to True Color (or 32-bit color), please change it to High Color (or 16-bit color). Your display will be much faster while there'd be no visual difference in picture clarity. This especially makes a difference for Windows XP -- as video drivers are noticeably slow with True Color setting on.
(2) player connectivity problems such as sporadic connection fluctuations, loss of packets, etc. may cause slowdowns. The best connectivity diagnostics from your side (showing both lost packets & lag) can be achieved with a shareware product VisualRoute available from VisualWare.com tracing to 64.95.65.130
(3) You may have an old non-Microsoft Java Plugin in your Control Panel, You may want to disable it for Microsoft Internet Explorer & get a faster Microsoft Java (e.g, for Windows XP the fast Microsoft Java comes with service pack #1. Alternatively, you may download the newest non-Microsoft Java Plugin [version 1.4.2 or later] from www.sun.com/getjava
Additional concerns?

Hate is a very strong word, I hope you don't really hate. I call it the 'H' word :S It is a word that brings tears to my eyes

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.
