Guest shots

A player had the idea that i should open this to guest posts. He didnt want to do 1 but i said ok. If you have something to say to the wordox/wordsteal world (and people do read the drivel i write and talk about it or so i hear) whether it be signed by you or just anonymous type it up and send it to me and i will post it. Dont want me to know who ya are? go get a new email addy at yahoo or google. I will post your guest shot for the people to read. All 6 of them ;-) More than that im sure but all it takes is 1 to spread the word.

The following is part of a post a player put up in response to a post i made here http://markbyers.com/forum/ in the bugs and suggestions section asking for an invite button.

"I've asked a few people if they would like to join me for a game but they decline because they say I "scare" them. If they don't feel comfortable playing me for whatever reason, then that is their right. I don't ridicule or call them names in the lobby or write bad things about them in a blog. "
Well CutiePi or whichever name you are using today I am so very proud of you for not ridiculing people. I wish i could rise to your level but it just makes me sick to see players with high ratings that reject comparable players wanting a game then play someone rated 500 points below them just to get 1 more ratings point on their tally. Gee who the hell does that at wordsteal???? I will continue to write ridicule call names or do whatever i can if it shames even one player into taking on quality opponents.

Why i bitch about the game, The league etc

A player asked me recently why i spend so much time bitching and complaing about ox and wordsteal on here. As i have said before if people can call scrabble an indoor sport i can call ox/ws an indoor sport if i want to. Now that we have established that ox/ws is a sport that i have by the way spent a number of years competing in i get easily pissed off when people abuse my good nature when competing against me in my sport or otherwise do things in the game or lobby that i want to rant about here. Now on to the league at WS.... thanks go out to Phil Gray and Shiloh for their help allowing us to advertise and even have a league. Hopefully we will continue to grow and have fun. Cyas
