i play to 3000 i c alot of 5000is 3000 to short ? u can go out in one hand sumtimes but always 2. what im trying to say is , how many hands or how long should a game last?and instead of resighn button mayb there could b a button thats less corse, ill b honest there r when my opnt picks pile and i no theres no way i can win,and i would like to say ' hey u won no way i can win' but sumtimes people pick the pile and dont lay everything down to go out,y i dont no but it happens and sumtimes i dont wanna prolong the aganoe, and like myself get a little up set when people resighn, just wish there was a nicer way. back to the game length i myself like quik games fast players and a mid range go out value, or do u need more skill to play longer games which is it ?

Different issues here so I'll take them one at a time. As for length of games that is your preference of course. My favorite is 5000 pt...wild card canasta permitted and red three freeze, but not many play that. It gives you more of a chance to try your skill if you've lost the first hand. I dislike losing in one or two hands but that's me. Your preference of short games is acceptable and played by many.
As for resigning when you KNOW you've lost the game after your opponent has taken the pile...sometimes they can't go out because of pairs or only 2 black threes etc, but if I'm positive I've lost and have other things to do I type in chat 'nice playing..it's yours and I need to go' or something on that order. I never resign without saying something.
It's great that GameColony has given us so much versatility in the game isn't it? Something for every taste!
Good Luck Ramp and Merry Christmas!

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.
