Most play WORDS for the challenge of the game. I've been playing with several virtual pals for many, many months, now. (You know who you are and I thank you!!) Conversations in "Chat" began slowly, with game references only. After a while, more friendly exchanges occurred, ultimately leading to e-mail, after extensive time had gone by.
But then...
There are those who are interested only in "hooking up", regardless of the venue. Check this out and share a loud laugh with me!! I was absolutely clueless as to what "asl" meant, but after his elaboration and two words into the game, he resigned. Hmmm, seems he simply was not interested in an eighty-five-year-old man from Bora Bora. I'm pretty confident that a 66-year-old g'ma from NY wouldn't carry much more appeal, regardless of her game skills!

Ciao, Baby!
