A winner in a Cribbage Limerick Contest will be declared shortly - (see in Cribbage Forum here)
Since we liked the idea of the contest, we are hereby announcing a start of a Gin Rummy Limerick Contest.
Gin Rummy Limerick Contest will end July 31th, 2007 - Hurry with your entries!
GameColony judges will not be sticklers just for precise limerick measurement purity. Innovative & Fun Limericks will get greater number of points than limerics written with just dictionary-dictated precision.
So....Go Ahead & Submit Your entries for Gin Rummy Limeric Contest! Prize Awaits The Winner!
----------------------------------------------
For the very 1st entry for Gin Rummy Limerick Contest we are reprinting jonwil's entry:

If your cards have all gone "south"
& your sportmanship is tested.
Its best to not engage mouth,
until your brain has rested.

I vote for Jon

Cards are fickle - are they not?
Just when you think you're ready to gin
The good cards turn bad causing your opponent to grin
Decisions decisions - but don't get caught,
Someone might think you're stalling even though you're not!
Comparisom of Cribbage and gin limericks :(

Cribbage limerick contest was great!
But we hoped that gin crowd would win
And it makes us quite sad
To be faced instead
With the single limerick in gin 
--------------------------
Remember, the contest will end July 31th, 2007
You still have time to submit your gin rummy limerick entries to win a prize!

Game Colony has the best gin games.
It's fun playing with folks all over the world with different names!
The object of the game is of course to win
and everybody wants to always gin!
But if we can't we try our best
To underscore and let luck do all the rest!

here comes the deal
i can even wait
Im one away from gin
Its like a big juicy steak on my plate
After 10 draws its not looking good
just praying and hoping, could this be my time
just to open my eyes and cringe when i see
my opponent had once again made a fool of me
My turn, My turn

Gin, Gin, the magical game,
the more you play, the more you win.
The more you win, the better you feel,
So getting that gin is a really big deal.

Thanks everybody for contributing Since we had a smaller turn-out than in Cribbage, we decided to reward all the participants with 5 bonus tickets each. Thank you all...
WebMaster, don't penalize Crib players

True, the turnout may not have been as active as the Crib partners, but perhaps you might reconsider the award and offer the Crib participants something in return. After all, everyone entered into this contest on the same equal playing field with the same considerations and results. You should either reward everyone for participating or pick one winner, no matter how many participate. The incentive is to be witty and creative, no matter how matter how many particpants there are. Now the question is.......what do you do for the Crib participants who entered into this contest?
All contributors to Gin Limeric contest received the same award

As opposed to cribbage limerick contest, in gin contest we could not pick a clear winner.
Instead, all contributors to Gin Limeric contest received the award that was equaly split between them.
I Applaud All Gin Players

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.
