the lowlife scanoundrel supports such a rule.

as about our agreements, Troll.
i always live up to agreements that are made outside of the game. but in-game agreements are something totally different.
im an honest player, but a treacherous leader.

and I see that now..

I feel..well..like the cheerleader that went to loverslane..with the high school quarterback..

she went wide eyed but came back..well..WIDE EYED!!

Yeah

I will state here and now you are an honest player and well, as you say sir, a treacherous leader in game..

Make no agreements with Math in the game as he doesnt honor or keep them..

Ok..so we have "2" votes maybe a few more and we can move as "We have a motion on the floor Mr Chairman"

I am well into this PBEM and its a ton of fun

BUT

I am also investing a lot of time and efforts as are many more...

I wuz wondering, have we contemplated or thought about the possibilities of penalizing or whatever people whom come and go with no notice..

I mean, if someone has a legit excuse..but say polays a few games games are on up there and they dissappear..shouldnt the game be forfeited and a win given to the remaining player?

Just questioning as it ticks me off when "HI!

Im new and wanna play

you do and they leave

I got snookered and slapped down but saw it was time to give up so i surrendered in a few games that were obviously lost..

I respected the player..
I however had several that the players up and left

I did that to Math in one game because i felt he wasnt living up to our agreement

i should have been penailized for that becuase wll..Math is a lowlife scanoundrel

(sorry..didnt take my medication )

Ok..so how about it

wanna make a rule that quitters get penailized and to the survivor go the spoils?

Ok..Ill get back in my hole now..

I don't see the harm in making this a rule. However, if someone appears to be abusing this, then we may have to modify the rule.

I'll make a poll.

hmm... since not the number of wins counts, but the position of the player you beat, how would one abuse that ?

Good point, but if we were to ever use the number of wins/losses for anything in the future, I don't want to have that number (win/loss) become meaningless through abuse

[Mathemagician]

true

right like having a "friend" say Hi Im Newbie Nick anyone wanna play?

Then say "BOB" a veteran plays him after awhile Newbie Nick dissappears and Bob gets a win and this is a pattern then yes I would say its obvious abuse and we should all be able to spot "abuse" when it comes to PBEM as well as other forms of telecommunications abuse

damned no ! if i make this, she will be very angry ( and she will be right !!! )
she already find i spend too much time with my computer she calls the second wife of the home ! so : i share my time between her, readings ( we both love read ) and computer stuff and i always asks if she's ok : i don't want to loose her for a too much time spent in front of a machine !!!

[Mathemagician]

and i wouldnt want to lose even my old stupid slow infected PC for too much time spent with a girl.


Mathematical proof that girls are evil:

1.) We all know, girls require Time and Money. Therefore:
Girls = Time * Money

2.) Time is Money. Therefore:
Girls = Money * Money = Money ^ 2

3.) Money is the root of all Evil, Money = Sqrt (Evil). Therefore:
Girls = (Sqrt (Evil))^2 = Evil
