In latest update: better politeness... 'by design'

This update touched $Ticket and Ladder games only.<br><br>The goal of this update was to counteract the impoliteness of those 'bad sports' who make their opponents wait (with multiple<br>reconnections, etc.) when their games are 'almost' lost<br> <br>Instead of constantly taking administrative measures against such impolite<br> layers, we have introduced a system that upon a player's disconnection evaluates the chances to win.<br>If chances to win for a disconnected player are less than 20%, then his/her opponent should not have to wait for the full reconnection time(s) to expire. Instead, the win will be awarded upon a single move expiration time.<br>

Hi well it is a good idea for thoes who do this just to give us a hard time but it will be a bit hardd because good players do get disconnected time to time & if they are not back in time well it would be a bit unfair for them to lose dont u think so ?? thanks for listening

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.
