Let The Truth Be Known....

A well thought of and very repectable player, very high rating, made an interesting observation during an earlier match.
He said, 'Are you still fighting with Calc_Guy?'
I had to laugh because Calc and I are discussing issues and neither of us takes the MESSAGES in this Forum as 'personal attacks'. As a matter of fact, I consider Calc_ a good friend and its productive to chat with him and also play him. Productive in the sense that otherwise unspoken issues would never get out to the rest of you.
What I am trying to say is there doesn't have to be malice to discuss the real issues we have day to day.
Hope this clears the issue and I hope Calc_Guy agrees. OOPS

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.
