Well I am not generally a slow player the only time I get slow is when another player messages me wanting help for something or for some reason my computer protests the game desire site which my old computer did a great deal. For example: I had to try several times just to be able to sit at a table, I was forever finding myself brought back to the room numerouse amounts of time.
And Col. Boogie is not a slow player by far! I can understand why it can and is used against the one referred team but I still found it irritating, by the time the first hand came on my screen, I had eight seconds left and literaly had to thow cards into the crib without basically looking at the cards and being able to determine which would be the best route in which to play and that I did not appreciate. Timers should not be used to intimidate other players!

: : What do you think of each hand being on a timer for 15 seconds and hearing the clicking countdown each time it is your turn. Also how about if you don't play within that 15 seconds that a card is played for you automatically you don't get to choose? Toons played a match with another team this way tonight and I found it to be a not an enjoyable experience whatever in fact it was quite intemidating.
: : Sorry I refuse to play another match such as this and personally feel there should be a rule against timers being used.

: we used a timer when we played in here, it helped to keep a certain team that plays in here less time to cheat either in there chat or talking on the phone to each other as to what they were throwing to crib and telling what they had in there hand.
: that is one of many reasons we left here, gets pretty bad when a team has to cheat just to win a game, don,t say much for there playing abilaty
