Tips Jo !!!!!
Courtesy When Playing Online Gin Rummy
When you are playing online Gin Rummy you will meet all types of players. Most of them are courteous, friendly players who just are playing to have a little fun and relieve some stress. Then there are a few that are arrogant, obnoxious, and generally rude to you and rather than be nice to a stranger they tend to let the more unbearable side of themselves show.
These are the people that you would like to avoid if possible. Since you are playing on the Internet it is very easy to simply leave that game and find another. It is a whole lot easier then suffering through game after game when you aren’t enjoying yourself.
As an Internet player yourself, you need to be polite to the person you are playing so that you will both enjoy yourself and might even strike up a pleasant conversation. That is why people play others after all; to chat with someone that they may have something in common with. You might not become best friends, but at least you can have fun for an hour or two playing a game you enjoy.
Enjoy the competition! If someone gets extremely lucky and continues to gin or knocks on the second or third draw you allow them to be happy for themselves, as long as they aren’t being rude about it. If you do find a lucky person then do not just quit in the middle of a game with no explanation to your opponent. If you do get knocked offline for some reason then get back as soon as you can and explain to your opponent what happened. It is very bad form to leave in a middle of game, and you are then considered the rude one.

As someone who has played 'gin rummy' many times on the computer machine, sometimes it is better to just disappear. There will always be someone new the next time you log on. Sadly it is the way of the net. So, our Jo screwed up then? You shouldn't encourage her to drink so much Robyn.

Hi Andrew.... Yeah I believe its the drink but Jo believes its the connection hehheheheh

It's true, with all the rain we've had lately my internet connection sometimes drops in and out... I can't help it if it's in the middle of a game.

And you get my points anyway Robyn... Do you really believe I would willingly give you MY points???

You're just pissed at me because I keep beating you.
