i have been playing spades in zone.msn.com recently,frustrated not by the playing but curse and blame from partners for not setting the 0 or gainning a bag,(come on it is a long game).one even say "no way" when i bid 0 when the game just starts.
the worst is in a new game when i reminded the p to watch the bags he gained,because he'd been trying set them only,and said "bags.be cool".he just thrown a cold "i know".it was only talk we had,though the game was ours and short,i was really shocked.i just can't take the crulty.

everyone knows that there is no win by a break up team in a team game.how come they don't.

They're not people you know or who care about you cusack! They're online who-knows-why? Just playing games is not likely the "only" reason, they have their own lives they're avoiding or taking a break from and it could be they're taking their frustrations from their own lives out at you, just "picking fights" with strangers because it lets off steam and doesn't mean anything to them so they don't think about how they might be hurting you?

i just can't take the crulty.

i can't play it any more,though it is a team game and the only team game i know. when i win,people say you cheat,when i lose,people say you worst.one called me cheater even when a game just begined,and a partner insulted me for getting a bag. what's wrong with this world.how come garbage people are all around at that decent and famous microsoft website.i asked them during a game,they just teased and sweared at me as well.just no answers.
really i haven't met one person in one game that doesn't tease and swear.

Are you sure they're not "teasing" you when they say you cheat? Do you have any siblings, cusack? My brothers and I use to give one another a hard time, just because we were kids "together". There's a certain amount of "Ah, darn! You must have cheated!" natural feelings in a team, etc. If you haven't played with a group before or are an only child that might seem strange to you and/or if you have been "protesting" your innocence, that might make them want to give you a hard time.

The type of people playing on such large, free, public sites are going to be scum I think. It's like a sleazy "bar" atomosphere, they're just killing time, not really caring about playing the game. I have only played once and that was checkers! And I had a horrible experience so didn't bother anymore. Have you tried Pogo or any other sites? There might be some less crass ones?

thank you,perna.

they saying "you cheater", s words when we just got in the game.first words on the chatboard.can you believe that?

what is confusing is in a game,they totally nasty,insulting you at best,even from partner,in another one,i put on a icon of donkey,they say "don't hate."even from p.

and what about your horrible experience,same as mine?

btw,my mom is a dictator.really unreasonable,every word of hers is threatening,and she says she is not hysterially.what then.
