Hiya everyone,
Recently we have had occasion for new players to meld all 4 black 3's in cases games. This is against the rules in the GSR's and was implemented because of a glitch in the Iplay canasta game here.
TO our seasoned players, I ask that if you are playing a new player, or someone that you have not seen in the room before, First...make sure they are a member of our ladder. Use the "Find Player" link on cases main page. They will show up there if they are a registered cases player.
Second, Before you start a game with a new player, ask them if they have read and are familiar with the rules. I know, they checked the box that said they have read, understood and will abide by all rules....but we all know that rarely happens. :O)
If you play a new player who melds all 4 black 3's....do not report a loss to that person. As the rules states:Game Glitch

You may meld 3 black threes and discard one, but due to a glitch - you may not meld all 4 black threes - and if you do - it's grounds for forfeit and you must report the game as a loss.

This may seem harsh to a new player, but I bet they never forget again LOL

If we all read and abide by the rules as stated on cases main page, our ladder will run smoothly and fairly.

Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Happy gaming! :O)
