SOMETHING UPLIFTING

Hey fellow GC players! I just wanted to change the kinda somber atmosphere by tooting my own horn. As of this moment in time, I am #2 on the Canasta, #1 on the Gin, #1 on the Backgammon and #1 on the Spades ladders. This is a first for me I believe. Will I be able to maintain this phenomenon until pay day? Only time will tell.
Great Accomplishment Lady

I have no doubt that, despite the fearless competition, you will do it! Your game is just amazing, at least on canasta, as i understand nothing about gin and backgamon. There are very few opponents that make me tremble as much as you. I only breathe when i have almost every wilds. 
Accomplished Lady.

I must say that I do admire your all round skills. I've finished top in Canasta and Spades in the past, and have had payments in 4 games, replacing your backgammon with cribbage, but have never got as far as top 5 in 4 of them. Hats off to you!
Hoooray !

You deserve it. I've observed and found the "lady" plays every tournament she can possibly play. She plays regardless of rank or ladder position. I've won a few times.... YES ! There are players who choose to play only within a few points of their rank which really doesn't mean a thing because if they are unwilling to play lower ranks they prove nothing at all.
The "lady" plays regardless... My hats off to ya, Lady. You are a true champ.
THE ENVELOPE PLEASE ... AND THE WINNER IS ...

Thank you everyone for the words of encouragement. It confirms for me that my approach is worthwhile. So I managed to hold onto #1 in Gin and after much last minute jockeying (due to a very diligent TD) secured 2nd on the BG ladder. I took some hits in spades and still finished 5th. Here in canasta land, 4th place, but hats off to Arynna who held her ground! And low and behold, if I didn't finish 3rd in pool --- go figure lol! So, tell me, should I bother learning cribbage? It looks so daunting....
Congrats Lady!

An amazing month it was for you and YES ... you should learn Cribbage - your competitive nature would be welcome in the Cribbage family. I would even be honored to teach some of the game to you! Let me know if you are up for the cribbage challenge and again ... congrats on a great months finish!
Impressive!

Well done to you - I only ever managed payments in 4 games! And you did top 5 in 5? Spectacular!

I cannot do anything but shake my head in disbelief that anyone would feel it necessary to "correct" someone's style of posting here on the Forum. What's next ?? lessons on grammar or corrections on spelling. When I reread this thread, it is screamingly clear who spoke from their hearts and who just sounded off.
Nobody complained...

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.
