Marilyn I am usually a pretty good natured person, but things are getting heated in the game. As far as I knew there were no rules in the game. As far as your are concerned is there rules. I remember when I first started 4 years ago this kind of thing never happened. Now there are people telling you, have to wait a certain time and not to bump other peoples games and also grabbing games. I have been harrassed by one certain person both today and yesterday Saturday and Sunday. Just because I got the points first, is there anything that can be done or whatever. I am sorry to say that the games are becoming abusive at times and it's turning a lot of people off the game which we do not need. I must admit I am no angel but when repeated games through I would like to be a devil. This has now become a huge issue and was wondering if you can come up with some clues as to what can stop this happening.....Koala Kutie
I've edited this post ONLY to change the tile of the post to GAME rules instead of FORUM rules as this post has nothing to do with the forum's rules. I have not edited the post itself at all

Hi Nikki I have moved your post here as what you are talking about has nothing to do with the "FORUM" rules. As you know there is nothing I can do about what goes on in the game. If you or any player is being harassed by another player, as I've said before, all you can do is ignore them. If the layouts are out of line, report them to the moderator. Check your own behaviour and see if you may have a part in this and what can you do to improve the situation. The game is meant for fun and enjoyment. If there is a personal issue you have with a paticular player, remember to keep it private and deal with it on an individual basis and I'm very glad you did not mention any names as this would not be the place to do so.  I wish everyone in the game could just get along with each other and love and enjoy one another. All I can do is control what I do as a player, control MY behaviour and make darn sure I am not adding to the problem and try to be part of the solution which is to just relax and enjoy the game and respect my fellow players. Love and hugs to you and all the MTE players.  |

Nikki,
I, as well as others, have caught violatons in the area of undesirable messages in layouts and
have reported them.
If a person complains about the way others play I have felt it is best to ignore them.
As far as grabbing the games and playing them immediately there is not a rule against it.
In my opinion I feel that it is nice for players to grab the games and wait until later to play
them. Or they can play them off line. There are instances where two in a family would not
be able to get the other person’s games for the maximum value. It doesn't seem fair since
they both may have put forth effort making the tiles
I was raised in a family that was taught to share. Many times I take games and wait until
someone else has played them to make sure I am NOT playing them too soon. I won’t lose
the points since I already have the games. I, for one, am not at a point where getting
and playing them will make a change in my life.
Please don’t be offended by my comments ~ remember this is one persons opinion.............

Nikkii, After being away from MTE for quite some time and returning not too long ago my hopes were things would be better. And, for the most part they really are. However, as in anything there are those that want to "ruffle feathers" or in their minds "have a little fun". Sometimes that ruffling or fun can cause problems or be hurtful.....! I launch my layouts and to me I really do not care if they are played soon or they sit there. I look at MTE as a game but also agree that sharing is nice. I have launched and watched mine played immediately and think....I better hurry as I can't get them out there fast enough LOL!! Many, many of us know how to grab the layouts and zip them to play later. I think if we know how to remove our player folder for the game fix then we would know how to replace the my file with the main difference being you have to play the my zips offline and reconnect for the points and times to hit BFG server. The game like the forums should be a place for calm and fun. Aren't we adults? I also was taught to share....better to give than receive and treat others as you would want to be treated. Drama belongs in a theater..not in these environments. And, when we see things are going in a direction that is not good then time to check ourselves and/or move on. I really enjoy MTE and the many great people I have "met" and chat with. To me that is the best part of MTE and the forum environment. Not the clicking for the 90 stars.....! The game has Ignore and Report to Moderator.....sometimes those options have to be used. Anyway, just my thoughts is all this is.  |

Dear Nikki:
I know what you mean, I have been playing with you and seen the ugly comments which people make or how rude they can be. I respect people's way of playing, I also bump my games and let others copy them before playing them, but I respect what others may decide to do. I have also found that the more you pay attention to them, the worse it is, so it is better to ignore them. I even saw the other night someone who is a 'phantom' player and Tina and I decided to stop launching altogether. This is the best way to deal with people who are there only to be nasty, not to have a clear and healthy fun like we are.
Love
Rose

Nikkii this is most interesting.
You and I have had several problems in the past regarding playing too quickly etc.
Unfortunately, there are NO RULES for this game. Only common decency can prevail, we trust.
If I am presenting games now, and whilst I am bumping, a player decides to GRAB them, and play them immediately, then I WILL STOP bumping those layouts. Any player can grab the layouts, but WHY they have to play them immediately (and stop other players from getting them at 10K) is really beyond me.
I will stop bumping them, and continue to BUMP them off line, and give them to my friends at the full value. It is my friends that are important to me here, so they at least get full value of 10K.
Your comment above is interesting in that you are suggesting that a player plays this game 24 x 7.
Believe you me, I sleep at least 8 hours every night, sometimes more.
Have a nice day Nikkii!

OH gosh, I feel so bad after reading this. You mean if I play the games at 10,000, before other people than I am grapping people L.O.? The other night I try to paste and copy the L.O.'s, but couldn't do it. So I starting playing people L.O.'s at 10,000. Now it seems like I was in the wrong. Nikki I don't know if I did any of yours~if I did I'm so sorry. I do know I did at least a couple people's L.O.'s that way~ I'm truly sorry. I will not do it that way any more~ I will now just add them to my favorites to play later. Please forgive me, I am still learning both the MTE game and the computer~ I don't want to lost your friendship cause everyone here had been so nice to me.  |

 9Judy! You have done NOTHING wrong! You are new to "speedie land" We ALL did this in the beginning. There is a lot of little teeny things to learn and so in the beginning until we learned we could let the LO sit in our game for a while before playing it, we would play the layout right away. Sooooooooo, NO WORRIES, put a smile back on your happy face and lemme see it!!  Big Karma Hugs to you!! |

First off I want to say I will not even COMMENT on the particular *question(s)* that started this thread.
Instead I have only this to say:
This forum is NOT owned or operated by Big Fish Games. Irregardless of whether BFG has *certain rules* or not has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the RULES THIS FORUM DOES HAVE.
If ANYONE is having a problem with other player(s), please do us ALL a favor and DO NOT bring it to this forum.
The owner and moderators of THIS FORUM have enough to do just to keep this forum up and running from day to day. They bend over backwards to help us in ANYWAY that they can. However, they DO NOT & CAN NOT control what takes place OUTSIDE of this forum regarding MTE. PLEASE do NOT add to their work by posting issues/problems that they have NO control over. Take those issues/problems up with BFG if you are not adult enough to click the *ignore* button!! ENOUGH is ENOUGH ... PLEASE keep the drama AWAY from this forum!
Thank you
My apologies to Marilyn for this post. I realize this thread is a bit old, however, my instinct tells me there's more to come.
