games

Once again have to say why do people invite people to games. make one move then cancel. totally irritating.

Luckily I've not had that happen to me.

But I also wonder why people write a thread on a games forum with such a vague general subject as "games", which says nothing clear or specific about what the thread is about. So different people do different odd things. :)

That's a strange modern trend. I think one of the reasons behind it is that when web fora started publishing "viewed" stats, people would think what they were talking about was interesting if they got lots of views. However, they soon realised that you can fake that, by simply having a subject line that was so ambiguous or vague that everyone would have to click on the thread just to have a clue what the thread was about.

Of course, in TA, these are called "strokes", and alas even negative strokes are strokes - we can't win.
