Do away with "away" in Main Hall ?

Hi all --- The most annoying thing to me in MH is joining a Table, only to see "away." What a waste of time. GC is terrific in so many ways. For me, doing away with "away" IN MH [not in the Trny Rooms] would make the GC Gin experience all the more pleasureable.
Regards, Sum
Regarding 'away' status in gin rummy Main Hall

The player's status will automatically switch to 'away' without player's interference when the game server detects a certain period of inactivity.
If a player opened the table and is listed as 'away' with a sufficiently prolonged inactivity (approximately 1 hour), such game table will be closed by the server.
The players can also select 'away' status manually (via game lobby).
They would typically do that when they are expecting a short break...
Some of GameColony players periodically check their open table, display some activity and then go back to whatever else they were doing. This bypasses inactivity checks and keeps their connection active.

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.
