Time expiration

When a players timer runs out, the waiting opponent should IMMEDIATELY (or as quickly as the server can get its act together)have the option to accept a win or wait, otherwise it seems TOTALLY pointless to even have a time regulation. There must be other players who agree with this and see the logic ... and if so PLEASE post your concern in the forum here or send a mail to Gamecolony. THX

I fully agree. Every player knows what the time limit is before a game starts. If a player cannot abide by that he or she should not play.

We happen to disagree.
There can be many legitimate time-per-move expiration issues that we believe require a less simplistic approach.
Examples of legitimate time-per-move expirations in short games vary from occasional connection fluctuation-related delays to older Windows-related delays - to the sudden 'ring-at-the-door'-induced delays
Here's the adopted rule regarding time-per-move expiration:
For the first 3 times after time-per-move expires, the player who let his/her time-per-move expire keeps receiving warnings. During these 3 times this player, however, gets some additional time. After the 3rd time-per-move expiration, no additional time is given. Occasionally, however, it may take up to additional 15 seconds on the part of the server to act regarding time-per-move expiration.

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.
