Perhaps another idea of though Posted by RRD (VIP) 13 Feb 2005 2:14pm Perhaps these players who are being rude have a hidden agenda. Maybe it is their way of trying to be friends but they don't know how to express themselves. Perhaps being extra nice to them might help. the greatest joke Posted by corneliu 30 May 2005 5:02am PERHAPS NOT!!! perhaps Posted by (VIP) 5 Jun 2005 10:00am RDD your comments always make me laugh, are really that naive? Rude players will always be that. Nice players will be nice. You know me as a former TD. Certainly perhaps Posted by Kaupanger (VIP) 5 Jun 2005 2:16pm It could well be that what is rightly or wrongly judged by one person as rude or offensive is judged as friendly and humorous by another. It has certainly happened to me that people have used chat and language that 'on the face of it' was highly questionable. However, being occasionally lucky enough to find the right response, the ensuing exchanges have sometimes been entirely 'proper' and fun. I guess it is all a case of, as I think you Americans have it: 'How the pancake crumbles when the mud hits the propeller!' KAUPANGER Posted by PEGASUS 20 Jun 2005 6:21pm KAUPANGER your sense of humor (referring to your last sentence) always gives me a much needed laugh. By the way - I agree with the rest of your response! Is not friendship the preferred choice? Posted by RRD (VIP) 25 Jun 2005 5:06pm Is it not best to be friends? Some players are just trying to reach out and be friends. Perhaps they are disenfranchised and misunderstood Reply to this topic Subject: Message: Main Forum \| Post Reply

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.
