Icons are NOT a 'new format'

There's absolutely no 'new format' - with the new small graphical icons the lobby and tables function exactly as before.
We know for a fact that when new players like former MSN people or Pogo players used to come to GameColony before, they were totally confused with our previous text-only lobby.
These players and other beginners needed a lot of breadcrumbs to find their way to the tables. A lot of these beginners were sufficiently confused and left right away.
As GameColony is build for growth, we could no longer tolerate the text-only boring lobby. We finally decided not to be afraid of some graphics & color. This site does not want to become the single text-only dinosaur on the web.
The new icons occupy the smallest possible screen space and are as tiny and as unobtrusive as humanly possible.
Some of the old-timers who got used to our previous text-only lobby were unhappy -- all changes are painful. Others called the icons 'cool' and useful for those that 'cant read'.
In any case, these icons are NOT for old-timers - they are for the newcomers. Old timers can easily ignore the tiny icons just as they can ignore anything that they are already familiar with...
Cheers,

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.
