played a "competitor" you know who you are in a ladder game they lost 75 pts in first hand suddenley they want to abandon (shock that hey) i refused they then proceeded to spoil the game by taking over the 1 min limit for EVERY MOVE thus meaning 1 1/2 hours to play first to 150
that sucks......

been there done that. that is not only poor sportsmanship but downright rude. there have been times that i start a game and have to leave, for whatever reason, and I NEVER ask for an "abort", especially when I'm losing. I don't want to seem like a poor sport. If I have to leave a game, I resign gracefully and accept the loss. Putting money down on a game, you can't just take that back......how ridiculous to expect the other player to allow it when they have invested not only the money, but the time. What drives me nuts is the people who play the game OUT, and then try to abort when they're losing at the end, after all the time you've put into it. I absolutely refuse to allow that, and hope they will realize that the best way to bow out gracefully is to resign and take their loss. Drawing the game out that way is annoying, like thats supposed to GET you or something. I have had people do that to me too......normally when I start pulling the same trick by taking my whole minute or whatever, they knock it off. They don't like the shoe being on the other foot lol.
Have to take the good with the bad people - can't win em all, and as far as some of us are concerned if you play, specially for money, there is not going to be much mercy if you simply don't want to lose your tix.....too bad so sad, I don't like losing mine either but it is part of the game. My advise to the people trying this is don't enter cash tourneys.......
You know even when i'm not playing for cash i don't like to abort because of rating....if I have earned a win, I feel like my rating should reflect that.
Some people that this stuff way too seriously, bobba - find me sometime in main hall, I'd love to play u  Have a super day, and don't let this buggers get u down

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.
