Very Rude Players

Tonight I joined a game that I didn't realize was loser deals, which I don't like, but I played the game and lost and when the winner requested another game I told them that 'I didn't like loser deals sorry' and declined.
They proceeded to be call me names and things in the main room and be generally abusive. I probably should've have said anything but I told them to act like an adult using my private msgs as a ticket player and when they kept it up I finally got ignore to work and left it at that.
It upset me and I reported them to GC.
For the most part the majority of the players are polite, it's just that small precentage that are rude and abusive to others and it's very upsetting.

I played against a woman last nite. I joined her table and played and beat her. She immediately left the table however I still said gg and her reply was <edited> which I assumed meant something not so friendly. I responded by messaging wa wa wa. With that she told me that I'm imature and have a little ego along with a little something else which I thought was amusing.
I guess some players just play for the money and are bad sports no matter how much or how little we play for.
Maybe ED is not wrong to choose who not to play against.

I think we've all played the 'sore loser'. The player who announces how lucky you are after you've beaten them, Or, bounces you out of the room after confirming the win. These players always amuse me. There is one imparticular whom I tend to picture all red faced, slamming her hands down on the keyboard. You have to laugh and feel sorry for her all at the same time.....
I have no doubt that I sometimes do catch a bit of luck in my win.......Last time I played this player, I felt a bit like messing with her head and announcing how lovely the cards were I was being dealt. I didn't though, I was afraid I'd give her a stroke

Do I sense a change in opinion in your posting? I thought you were against this sort of chat. Either way I happy you told it like it is. The 'sore loser' is probably on his/her way to the ER and a loss on GC shouldn't be important enough to push them over the edge. If it is, I also feel sorry for them.
All of you know I dislike slow-play but accept the fact that it happens. I't was suggested that I report the players to CONTACT US and I did. I received a great response. The very next day I played the same player, in a tourney so I had no choice, and his game was still slow but not as slow as it was. I reported this to GC and they thanked me for realizing the errors of my ways.
You guessed it, that same player swung back to his old ways and I just didn't take the time or effort to report him again. This is the one very big negative of the tourney format. When I was a TD I tried to address it but never had any luck. I know to expect a 30 minutes game from this particular player and that is a fact of life. Criticize me or not, this is real.

I have no idea if they're new or just had name changes but there is a group of new players, I think, that are sweeping us older players under the carpet with the incredibly high quality of their games. This is what I was trying to get across in one of my threads.
Yup, 3FOUR is one of them and it's a great challenge to stay in the same match with him. There are a few others, you all know who I mean, and they are good. When I lose to players like this one I may feel like expressing my thoughts in explitive-deletives but I just sit back and think, good lesson, but always say 'GG...well played...WTG' etc.
I guess the right thing to say is 'If you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen.' Rude comments are rather childish. They are offensive and should be dealt with severely.
here we go again...

Funny how we read the same posts and interpret them differently…no where do I see in jag-girl's post a change in her opinion……
I read it as a suggestion to try and see the humorous side and not get aggravated by the rude players. I my be wrong, but that is the way I understood her comment.

Ed, I never said I was against chat/discussion. I believe we differed on the definition of 'rude'. To me, rude is not necessarily omitting gg or gl. I don't always remember to do so myself and not out of rudeness. I thought I made my stance/opinion quite clear. I think it's rather silly to hold people to that sort of standard.
There are times when rudeness is obvious, like the behavior 3four spoke of. Even then, I personally believe it's best to laugh it off. Others may choose to take action and that is thier right. You never know, I may someday run into a player that is so nasty, I may choose to take action myself.
In the meantime, I choose to be amused.....that is ok, is it not?
they come and they go...

I have played here many years. I have played with the most polite people you can find anywhere......and......the sorest losers. It is unfortunate, but just a fact. I too, imagine those people with blood pressure rising to life threatening levels and feel so sorry and a bit amused that they are letting a 'game' which is supposed to be 'fun' cause them so much upset.
On to my reason for posting. 2 days ago, I played against a player who I have played several times against in the past. This time though, after the game (which she lost) she just cut loose on me. I tried to copy the chat but that feature seems to not work anymore. It used to because I have done it before at the request of td's and others but now it doesn't. I didn't report this instance mainly because I couldn't produce any proof of it other than my word, and frankly I didn't want to engage anymore energy on this player if it got into a she said/ she said game, so I just play and go on.
If we are to copy chat and send it in with a conduct complaint, how do we do this?
Thanks and keep up the good games!

To report chat abuse to Contact Us, you can still use Copy Chat -- but it works in a different way now:
-- click on chat area with the RIGHT mouse button and select Copy as Text
-- in the resulting window hilight and copy just the area of interest and paste it within Contact Us
Please Note: do not paste the whole chat or large irrelevant chunks of text - just the area you are reporting about

I mistakingly played a player tonight that I had the misfortune of playing before, if you take more than 3 seconds to play she retalliates
by waiting til 0 on her counter before she'll play her cards and is very rude. I didn't know about the cut and paste but i'll use i next time. Folks like this, besides from needing anger management sure take the fun out of the game. thanks for letting me vent.
thanks, dotto

I somewhat wonder whether we may be speaking of the same player when we say 'she'.
This would not surprise me.
Perhaps, if she reads these postings she might want to consider this......Although, I think we all appreciate the anonymity that exists when we converse in a place such as this. Unfortunately, it seems some are unable to handle this responsibly. I ask, do you approach life outside of cyberspace in the same manner? Cursing out people as you go through your day? I doubt it.
To do so here is cowardly and shameful. Is it your dirty little secret how you treat us all here?........

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.
