Yesterday I had some cowboy (ranked only about 30 points higher than I) accept my open invitation (OI). He then deleted my game and promptly put out his OI at similar terms as my OI. Having received the email about his acceptance and subsequent deletion of my OI I logged on, accepted his OI and then proceeded to delete the game. Why can't we all get along?

There were fewer than 10 OI and there was no need to accept mine, he could have easily placed his own alongside mine.

It happens to me all the time. Beat these cowboys at their own game, I say; revenge is sweet... πŸ™„

I'm just wondering how you knew he was a cowboy. Did his spurs jingle when he walked? πŸ˜‰

i recently had a guy do this to me but not till after he had played a move, so i sent him a message asking what he was playing at and he gave me grief about it ... like it was somehow my fault.

A cowboy is used to describe one who takes others on a ride - i.e. an unscrupulous person. There is no reason to accept and delete my challenge only for him to place a similar one.

Search google or Wikipedia for "cowboy". You may also want to look on the Oxford Dictionary online.

I just did it to someone. It's fun. LOL! If they can't pay the fee that I can, then that means they're lazier than I am, and that's just plain sickening. $29.95 a year? Could jump one truck with a bus load of working Tongans and make that in one day and some extra to get wasted at the local bar.

Uh, maybe that's because you haven't played a single game?

Why would you do that to someone?

I don't pay a fee.

Understanding the value of a dollar does not make me lazy? You make me sick doing that to a person...
