Re: A = Autoplay

I've discovered part of the problem - I was using a free version and couldn't get the full range of Solitaire games. I've now paid for a version and I can see what you mean. However, the autoplay is not available in the GAPS game but those huge discrepancies are there too. The fastest times (without...

FathersDay Abuse

After more lies and abuse from FathersDay... Just for the record and to avoid any further discussion about the matter - I do not and will not under any circumstances play the abusive FathersDay.

Re: Pointage win // lose

I would suggest you give this guy a miss. I played him and he won the 1st game then quit as soon as he was losing in the 2nd game. He then reappeared a minute or so later as mike1007 with the same IP - 76.71.166.77. Of course he/she denied everything - as they always do. Avoid at all costs. Regards ...

Re: QUITTER PENALTIES

The subject of “punishments” for quitting keeps cropping up - this is my understanding of how it works. 1. Games are not monitored by Aidan or anyone else - the system is automated. 2. However the system cannot tell the difference between a disconnect (for whatever reason) and a player quitting. 3. ...

Re: Sincere statement from the heart for Hearts game...

This seems fair enough to me - its a reasonable explanation and I have no reason to doubt its sincerity. I'd be happy to play with him now we have the truth.

Re: Illumination - I hope..........

Thanks Russo - much appreciated. Just for the record many players including "top" players in Hearts are happy to play anyone regardless of their score.

Illumination - I hope..........

Between 23rd August and 22nd September I compiled a brief summary of whats happening here. Total players dropped from 173 to 158. Some have joined, as others have dropped out, but the net loss is 15. 1260 games were played during the period. Covering the same period there are only 50 “active” player...

Re: win / lose points n -

The issue of scoring is a constant theme on here - I do believe it needs a tweak - a winner should always get some points. Having said that the weighting of the scores is very important for new players. The system has to allow a new player to eventually get to the top. I had a little over a year awa...

Re: New to All This

Well - if I were you I'd apologise unreservadly and move on - what exactly was it that you did?

On a more general note - honesty is usually the best best policy and if you tell the truth often enough you'll probably be found out in then end.

Billy – the forum is separate from the game and vice-versa. You can register on the forum without ever having played – and you can play without ever registering on the forum.

I have little to add to my last post above - it "proves" exactly what I said it did - you constantly change your IP and the flag does not match. That is a pattern of behaviour that is very familiar to the players on here and it usually indicates a fraudster. There are exceptions however, and I know ...

Re: Fair play and making a good set rules

Both of these posts add to the debate I tried to start in “Its Only a Game”. While the sentiments are noble they are fundamentally flawed. There are a significant number of players in our game who are only interested in cheating, deceiving and abusing others. We have seen it time and again the abuse...

Re: Awards

I so disagree with this. Penalising the last player destroys any incentive to get the lowest player. The awards are pointless as most of the good players very quickly get a row of golds and the 1 silver. Points should be awarded to the winner only. Iceman

Re: no play penalty

The same with HIALL - score unchanged for over a week and no games played. While I'm on as it were - I don't think the scoring is very fair either. Playing crib I'm getting 2 or 3 points for a win and getting 10 - 15 points for a loss. The same in Hearts. I think seriously now about playing with low...

But this is clearly not happening? See Renato's previous post from last week. For what its worth a fairer system would be monthly. No play = lose 10 for example. Should also apply in Cribbage. Best. Iceman

Re: system changes

Aidan I must endorse Deans point - there is something wrong with the distribution of cards in both Hearts and Cribbage. There's just too much discrepancy between the scores and its consistent. Its great when you can't lose and very frustrating when you can't win but players I think joined for the sk...

Distribution of cards

Aidan I think there may be a problem with the distribution of cards in Hearts. I've been in many games now where one player is way ahead of everyone else - it has also happened to me on a number of occasions. Consistently getting hands where no cards are under 6 or 7. The converse is also true - whe...

Re: A No Player list. Good for everyone. Even the quitters .

I like the thinking but I suspect its too complicated to administer? The other problem is the amount of players in the pool at any one time. Sometimes you can wait for ages and you do have to play with players who you'd prefer not have a game with for a variety of reasons.
