Taking Skulls

I click 'em with the quickness. Love seeing the things pop up so I can shoot them down. If I put out an open invite with a 1/0 time limit, don't take it if you can't commit to it. It's as simple as that. I will send 1 reminder, after that you're history. However, if an opponent contacts me and asks for more time for whatever reason, I'll be more then happy to oblige.

There you go! Who says guys from the bronx in New York aren't nice! 😉

Actually there are lots of excuses and some very good ones:

Such as a death in the family, Person being sick and in hospital, computer crash being among the top ones I have run into personally.

Should the game always come before the person in your opinion?

I don't know my opponents personally so it's tough for me to feel compassion for them when I see the skull. I click skulls all the time. I don't ever consider or speculate as to my opponent's circumstances, whatever they may be.

And, in the 1500+ games I've played, I have never had an opponent contact me to ask for more time. Not once.

Dude you send a reminder?

I've never sent a reminder, do you have to wait a certain amount of time after sending one, or can you just send it and then click the skull one second later? That'd be even more fun I think.

You don't really play all that many games. I have lost more games than you have actually played, if memory serves me correctly. Plus you been here 2 years longer than me.

I have had different people ask for more time. I am a chess pig I will admit, and usually have a heavy gameload. I feel that "have to click the skull" if it is a clan game because of the the 19 other people depending on me.

It is not that I don't click the skull, all one needs do is look at my profile.

I don't mind at all clicking it when it is a lost game for my opponent anyway, or someone who makes a habit of letting their time run out.

like I said, there are no excuses for not moving in the alloted time. need extra time? play 21/28. still not enough? use vacation time. Oh sorry your not a subscriber? tough noogies toss-pot, stop free loading and buy a sub.

Wow Mister Duecer I didn't realize you had all that pent up emotion in you!

I am sure glad I am a subscriber. 😉

What can you bench press?

Do you think so?

Or it is because I don't think the same as you that makes me hard headed?

Naw, you're as thick as a brick, sport.

almost anything really. if you can duct tape it to the bar, I can bench press it.

Mostly in the chest, probably from my former weight lifting days. 😛

Does she mean something to you? I was just playing no harm was intended or ever is.

I should have made you move my picnic table alone and saved some wear on me back.
