Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Anyone else not thrilled with the "new" BBO
- Absolutely hate it, to the point that I have stopped playing (used to have 2 regular weekly games). I doubt if anyone could come up with a more counter intuitive, user friendly mess if they tried.
- Asking out of turn
- I just stare back at them till they ask nicely (but then I used to regularly win staring contests with my cat).
- Asking out of turn

- Coffee housing
- Just wanted to give everyone an update. A 1/4 board PP has now been given to East West for the incident in question. More importantly, I hope that this prevents east from pulling this kind of nonsense on others in the future. ***edited for typo***
- Coffee housing
