A challenger issues a challenge and then does nothing, but the challenged party keeps notes every day, tries to offer different times, etc. Such challenge will be removed with no penalty to the challengee,BUT the challenger will be dropped 8 rungs.

If you are being challenged and the challenger is nowhere to be found and he/she leaves no messages for you in challenge notes, please use Contact Us to report the problem within 6 hours of challenge expiration. One of the admins will review the challenge, remove it (if warranted) and drop the challenger's rank by 8 rungs. So there is still some legwork for the challenged player, but with much better results! This new rule has already helped reduce frivolous challenges.

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.
