Hello everybody,
I would like to wish to everybody happy New Year 2005.
Special thanks to Gamecolony because Gamecolony is the ONLY place where I could play games on-line from the work (despite their firewall here) and chat of course. And through GAMECOLONY I met a lot of people throughout the world and I still have contact to many of them after 3 years membership.
And special congratulations to PEGASUS for the ....column.
A lot of success for the future
Asprivl

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.
