That's an incentive to not reconnect you !

Very good post and explanation. Obviously qualities I don't have. All my recent posts have been read by many but so far ignored by all, except the one from Kate. Care is needed to explain a situation perfectly, and as with emails and texts as well, you don't always get the true interpretation. I can...

This is just a short response to original post. I'll respond to Sunny's in due course. There's absolutely nothing sinister in this question, but like the texasranger, bskopit you have a name for the forum and obviously a different one in the lobby. All 4 of us inc me and Sunny have been on here sinc...

I agree with Russ and would hope that it creates more participants. Statistics can sometimes be interesting when analysed as Ice proved in original post. There are 59 topics on the forum since 2009. With 7 replies, this one ranks tie 3rd. Unfortunately the replies are only shared by us 3. Of those 5...

I probably mislead you with my mentioning of Hearts. I do believe the scoring and weighting system is correct there. My purpose of mentioning hearts in the same breath as cribbage was entirely to highlight player selection. In Hearts, with 3 top rated players looking for a 4th, they wouldn't very of...

50 active players and 12 reads so far, with no replies, thus far. Hard to know what to say, that we don't already know. The analysis is very detailed and informative. Some of the top players are sympathetic to the cause. One or two, not so. This cannot, in my opinion, be resolved without Aidan's int...

Hi Marek, I wouldn't normally comment on individual games however a recent game with your good self , Ice & JDFAL gives me an opportunity to do so. As a nice person, myself, I ask your advice. I'm counting on it. The best time to take a gamble is very early on in games. In this instance I passed...

I've possibly missed something here. But who is Shimmy ? Can't find the name on leaderboard. And who's JohnCDA from an earlier post. He doesn't seem to appear on leaderboard either. Having played for best part of 4 years now, I would have expected to see their names in the lobby at some point. Does ...

Marek, definitely not you, and I'm sure you never would. It would be easier to name culprit, but prefer to chat to him first to give him a chance to defend himself.

Marek, Thank you for your remarks re my card playing ability. I have to confess that I've often felt you thought differently towards me, although you have always invited me or accepted my invite. It goes to show that putting words down in chat, as in texts and emails, can often be interpreted differ...

Well, I've been away for 7 days and will be for another 3. Despite having the opportunity to play, I have chosen not too.Still not too sure about IP addresses. Does mine change when I'm not at home ? Also reception and wifi fluctuates and could be unreliable during game and it's simply not worth the...

I know how disappointing it can be to get loads of reads to a post and get absolutely no replies. I found your post, well explained and feel I have several similarities to you re playing conventions, having played for just 3 years and having now reached the tender age of 75. Probably too old to lear...

I tend to have same problem. I generally play late evening over here in UK. Not many other Brits on board and for those the other side of the pond its mainly daytime, when I guess most have other things to do. However I do get to play you sometimes on Hearts, so perhaps we can go to cribbage straigh...

Hi Aidan, in a recent post from Bulldog re points deduction you replied that reductions would only happen to serial quitters. This implies that you/ computer /app/whoever know who they are. Why mess around - there have been enough posts and warnings on this subject since year dot ! Why not just ban ...

Yes I totally agree. However its the same for all of us. As I see it, and using my stats as an example you'll see that my win ration is around 25%. The majority of the players are around that figure too. At the moment that means 1 win (12 points) and 3 losses( 2 points each) which would increase my ...

Aidan, i know iam not the only person who is really fed up with the uneven distribution of cards Every game. Maybe i should say Even distribution. It appears that your system is set to distribute to two players,almost every hand, the lion's (major proportion) share of one or two particular suits of...

good question

You need to count your tricks in Bridge also which I'd love to do sometime if I get a chance but time is a problem alas. Contract Whist might be a good idea, but I'm not sure how much interest there would be in it. I'm sure you're right !! Lack of interest, shown here so far by lack of replies. Sur...

Ok. What would be more reasonable then? Hard to say !! Possibly to allow for a two week break, the reduction should be held back and done in one hit after those two weeks and then every day thereafter, rather than right from day 1. I guess you hope and pray for the day when you keep everyone happy !!

Have any of you hearts or crib players played whist where you have to call exactly how many tricks you get ? I think its called contract whist. This would be a great game to play on line Aidan !! Its similar to hearts but with trumps. Virtually no luck involved, which seems in abundance in hearts, a...

Aidan,at what time does the reduction in ranking points kick in for non participation of Grassgames Hearts (competetive) Thx Rocket Every day your ratings will go down by 2 points if you have not played in a day or more. That seems unreasonable. Players can be ill, on holiday, and have all sorts of...

Well said JTK. Once you drop out of the top 50 you then just get to see those 25 behind you and those 25 in front. I reached the pits a few weeks back and was 478 and could just see the top 50 and those between 453 & 503. I'm interested to know how many have joined up, but no one seems to know. ...
