Genie and the Programmer

A programmer was walking along the beach when he found a lamp. Upon rubbing the lamp a genie appeared who stated 'I am the most powerful genie in the world. I can grant you any wish you want, but only one wish.'
The programmer pulled out a map of the Mediterranean area and said 'I'd like there to be a just and last peace among the people in the middle east.'
The genie responded, 'Gee, I don't know. Those people have been fighting since the beginning of time. I can do just about anything, but this is beyond my limits.'
The programmer then said, 'Well, I am a programmer and my programs have a lot of users. Please make all the users satisfied with my programs, and let them ask sensible changes'
Genie: 'Uh, let me see that map again.'

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.
