Well, I have another theory..

I guess I could have just given up and not been a man and played the turns out then left a player (S) holding the bag..

I mean it sez something if you win , correct?

and it sez something if you lose?

I read above comments about me playing all these matches with Blackygryffin..

WHAT I MISSED was when the people beat me and no comments were made...

How does that work..

If I get into a match and find out by turn "X" thats YIKES!! I bit off a bit more than I can handle..what would be the appropraite thing to do Blackice?

Should I play until I lose what was known by me a long time ago, i stood no chance..do i quit? or go on and make the most of it and try to learn?

Do I say "Nah, Ill just stop playing turns because this guy knows all the intricasies and I dont wanna play no more?"

Just asking, I see it that your point seems to be if say you and I agree on a match and then we set it and i up and dissappear...YOU should not get the win?

I dont have aproblem with that if thats your only bone of contention..

WHAT I DO have a problem with is people up and leaving to avoid a loss well into the game..happened to me and I didnt appreciate it..

If Quinns or anyone else wants to change it to make #11 "X" turns into a game then fine with me..

As for WINS VS LOSSES...

I guess it is a pride thing from years of competition..

AND many people look upon ones record as a sort of establishment of ones history..

I mean yes Blackygryffin is new so i get a win..

BUT the others 4 losses i played were against great players whom schooled me..and good..should they too get a win for whooping me so badly..

Just asking is All

Well the game was played you lost, or won rankings changed or did not change, the reason is alive. A newbie comes along and disapears before the game even gets emailed...no biggy truckin

I like competition to but if the win slot has no merit which at this point is true, cuz if most of your wins come from flunkies/dropouts then how good are you really and do you deserve the ranking?

So ya that was the basis fro my original query what constitues a game a nod or an actual game where you spelled it out quite nicely joe blow over his head up and quits at the 50th turn. Ya you get the win and the ranking if it applies, and rightly so. But for a game that has never been played?

I think we agree here, eh! ;0)

hummm ya I think we do.

Ahem


hummm ya I think we do.

QUINNS!!

How about a modification to rule #11 wheras the game has to be started, thus making me and Blackice happy!!

[quinns]

Just leave it be. If someone begins to abuse it, as you have described above, we'll talk about making another amendment then.

Agree with Steve.

Just cheat the lawyers - don't make a case here before it is nessesary.

And if - then remember you have the AX-man close to you

"I think we can settle before going to trial"

"Agreed"
