yea! Like why is there such a severe lakc of competition these days? I remember back about 2 yrs ago there were so many good players that were unbeatable and would always beat me but now i'm winning games! unheard of! what happened to people like MuffNCuffs/!!Ewe♥♥♥♥♥!!, PinkGlass, Acid/Incognito, Quicker, nyboy91, The_Assassin, iGuess, Thulasi, Nessarose, Triangulus, Notig, and others? they were so good! it's sad to not see them much nemore. come back!

if you're looking for more competition try a special room or even a basic or expert one once and a while when they're open

I think there is still loads of competition out there. I don't know what rooms you go into but i know that in some Easy UK rooms, there's always competition. I won't name names but i know that they're there!

/me wonders if tigeress means her:embarrassed:
Edit: as if
Some of the people you mentioned are also members of the forum, and i play against a lot of them all the time, maybe you're just out of luck and never find them, but they're around. Yet, they play in the expert rooms. None of the dinosaurs or the good players play in easy rooms, or they hardly ever do anymore. You must also remember players could have changed their names and we just don't know who they are anymore. Some people also get bored of the game and stop playing.
But they always come back.
I get what you mean though. The noobs are not as good as they used to be. I guess there's phases, and right now it's not a particularly good one.
i miss nessarose, she was fun to play with in blitz.... as for incognito and quicker i still see them around occasionally, though not as much, and i have played against iguess a couple times in the past week so they are still floating around....

Alright alright. But you're no dinosaur eh? And not that good either... mauahahahahaha. :biggrin: kidding. there's a few good players that hang around in easy rooms. Why they do is beyond me, but they do.

Triangulus is still around, still drawing brilliantly, and still paying me for saying that! But like me, he doesn't play in Easy.

I agree, there is lots of good players still around.
And i also wonder why the good players hang around in the easy rooms??.
I guess its cause im always in easy and they love me:razz:

Some days you can't move for good players, other days you can only stare at the pics and spelling in disbelief. It's what makes iSketch so entertaining. OK i just play to win - the chat is just an irritating distraction :biggrin:

I play in Easy too. Reason being is that I come on isketch to relax and wind down; I want to have a mindless game of ease! I don't want to have to think about things - I do enough thinking in the real world! I go to work where I have to think and concentrate so the last thing I want to do before going to bed is to use my mind!
Often isketch friends are playing in Expert or other "mad" rooms, but most of them know I'm an easy girl. However, they still invite me just to tempt me!! Sometimes I'll take up their offer, stay there for two rounds and then go!!
Each to their own!! We're all there to enjoy the game like we know best!

Quiet rightly said piggie, i agree totally:razz:

hi piggie, i am Jmac..... lol jk...
Hey Mystery Girl, I'll play you anytime! (no pun intended, hehe)
If you want, put me on your buddy list and have an instant challenge anytime you want :D
oh and yeah I play easy rooms a LOT just because the rounds are over quickly, and I get more drawing rounds :D And call me crazy, but it's fun to see the wicked conversations of new people vs. regulars, and there's some joy in helping people with the game. :)

I usually play the tandem room, though lately I've been branching out to the easy rooms quite often. I see Incognito in tandem a lot, and sometimes run into !!Ewe and Triangulus in other rooms.. Never seen the others you named though, probably because I've only been playing iSketch for a year and a half or so :embarrassed:
You just haven't been challenged by me yet...
/flex
lol...
what happened to people like MuffNCuffs/!!Ewe♥♥♥♥♥!!, PinkGlass, Acid/Incognito, Quicker, nyboy91, The_Assassin, iGuess, Thulasi, Nessarose, Triangulus, Notig, and others? they were so good! it's sad to not see them much nemore. come back!
As for Muff, I've seen her around a few times and got slurrped. I actually beat her! But I feel she was going a bit easy ;) Incognito is just in different rooms, I might convince him to play a few games in the US easy again and Nessa has been off for who knows how long. Quicker is on every now and then. nyboy91... well I don't think he'll be coming back.
If you're looking for competition, try Tay, jeter-cano22 and others that they hang around with. They're tough stuff and will whoop you in to shape!

I havent seen riotgrrrl around in ages - Oh there you are up there^^^^
There has been a recent influx of other Aussies (and some Kiwi's too) playing - in fact I think there was only Spacey and 1 other in a full room the other night that were not Australians.
I played a new player last night that I have never seen before and s/he kicked arse in UK Expert. zodiac I think was the name and the IP was coming out of the UK somewhere. Red hot player. Was beating everyone by miles.

Severe lack of competition? Not really.
Severe lack of male competition? Definately.
Why are 95% of the good players female???? Poor show guys.

I'm still around just mostly pop in at the weee hours of the late late night.. EST/EDT I started out in the "theme" rooms (well, i remember when there was only 20ish rooms in total on the list) BP, Conn. Blitz! etc.. but now I'm just Easy. HEY! I heard that!! :eek: *ahem* just an Easy room player TY... lol *eg* :twisted: It's the quickness, the pace you know. Other rooms tend to get a bit boooring specially with a crapload of little snotdemons wasting our time. I have been looking for the competition for what, over a year now?, they seem to of poofed. I'm up for a real game anytime. I'm not all that special, ok ok so i am all that special :embarrassed: but that doesnt keep me from mingling w/the lesser ... ((__/__)) spankings can commence now lol j/k i'd love a good game though just have to email *sigh* cuz i am NOT giving out my cell# here .. but email and i'd be more than happy to join in a game.. fair warning : i tend to clear out a few of the "stiffs and snobs" :rolleyes: with my slurps n sheeps. lol erm have a been babbling already? i'll go find a bib for the drool now..

Oh muffs! Come back and play me!

I can't play US so don't ask me to challenge you in US rooms. :razz:
I'm more interested and more experienced in UK rooms. Don't play much of the Special rooms other then Tandem, Anagrams, Blitz! which I don't play often and don't win often too. Ugh... Now it makes me feel lowly... :cry:

!!Ewe♥♥♥♥♥!! and I are the only people on that list who still play sometimes...but we're both pretty average now lol. Sorry Muff but it's true! xD
Ummm...the only person I've seen recently who can match the players on that list is ThirteenKeys. She kinda reminds me of Incognito. A little slower than nyboy_91 but guesses really good :P

blast from the past! You still play quicker? Havent seen you in ages! Will /notify you to have a little match which i'll probably lose anyway.
Triangulus i'm happy to report is still playing, or at least someone using that name. If you seek competition you may /notify nateman (see posts above). Also, i'm a big fan of redwine18, outstanding player, hard to beat. Rococo is also very very good, when she wants to be anyway, give her a try. Dunno what happened to the rest, havent seen them in a long time, over a year possibly.

You crack me up Mr.AverageQuicker *eg* ;p~ Bring it to me and I'll show ya "average" my BAAss!! I'm not slow by all means... I just have this slight issue that "haunts" me when I want to get some game on..... You see.. I live with this MAD ROGUE BONG and it gets EXTREMELY jealous when my attention is NOT focused upon IT so it goes into these sudden attack frenzies and ofc I have NO WAY to defend myself other than to submit, surrender and inhale.. thus the "impression" of average player YOU, Mr. AVERAGE *Beg* (B-big, but i do and will beg if erm n/m) have of me is actually just a blond with a bong STILL kickin arse by the ROOM-LOADS...
I repeat.... BRING IT and none of that private seduction whispers to distract me like usual... HAHAHA!! LOL
(the preceding statements are completely my bong's fault, that's my story and I AM STICKIN' TO IT!!)
p.s. i sooo miss the competition i barely even bother to check in on iSketch anymore *sigh* *sniffle* *bawl* *BONG* *PERK* xoxo MuffnCuffs@yahoo.com (MuffnCuffs@yahoo.com) find me, invite me, I "DareYa2BeatMe" --me aka BeatMeDareYa

Well whatever your opinions on the lack of competition, we can certainly see there's no lack of cockiness.
If you really want competition, go for the one handed or one fingered typing.
Hopefully all these peoples are in the tournament.
I shall end my post with a laugh at US Easy.

Too true NH! I would love to see Quicker et al in a tournament - would be amusing (I mean fascinating) to watch.
Re: Good Players
I have played with Eric_Cartman - one to certainly watch out for! NoHints is another player who is very competitive and a more recent player - 'KittyKat' deserves a special mention. They may be less loud than other flamboyant players - but they will certainly sort out the men from the boys, imho and better still - they don't brag about it! :razz: Special kudos go to Katie.Lemon - she loves my what whats - and again is a great player (just a bit LOUDER than the others!! :razz:).

Hi, I got the PM you sent Incognito and I inviting us to play in the last tournament, but I didn't read it until the tournament was almost over. Besides that, I had stopped playing at the time. Don't worry though, I've already said I want to play in Dean's tournament...so I hope I can "amuse" you hehe...
PS - jynx pwns lmao
PPS - I just started playing again so like I said in my first post, I'm pretty average now...I just hope I can be somewhat useful for Team Asia!

In case my previous message was one of the ones considered cocky, and because that's not what I was going for, let me attempt to be more clear:
This is a useful thread for those looking for better games with the more experienced players. And because some of the earlier posts are out of date, I can add that, more recently, I have seen some of the players mentioned above. In addition, Fiyero and DarkLilac aren't bad. I am usually at least competitive with many of the players mentioned as well, and very much enjoy good rooms, whether I'm winning or losing. So please feel free to find and/or invite me.
Also, it must be bad that I think I can understand most of MuffnCuff's messages, but my favorite part is the subliminal jewelry :smile:

Well said !!
I look at this thread everytime i come on and have a laugh ,i really do, although i may not have been on as much as usual ive played and watched a LOT of isketch under Bell and other names
Some of these posts are hysterical lol But i must say its always good to have confidence even if your not quite as good as you seem to think you are ,at least you think you so and thats all thats important right :razz:
Im glad players like NH ,Jynx,Dean,Loviii and Katie have got a mention, these and a few others are the silent assasins i like to watch .. remember guys the better the competion the better the better people play
I know a few players , one Brit in particular who only play seriously under random names I wish i could talk him into playing in a tourny because ive yet to see anyone match him although i must admit ive not watched him play in the science room and a few others but im sure he blitz's like he does in the blitz room ( bad pun i know)
Ive buddied some of the truly brilliant players in this thread and look forward to watching you in amazement soon :twisted:
/Bell walks of swinging her spoon :P
PS: Ive just seen jynx's post ..lmao put as only jynx would :)
PSS: btw I only type with one finger or 2 anyway .. is there another way ??
where are these new victims bell?

Nah, he's too busy organising the tourny :D
this isn't the severe lack of idlers thread :D
I agree with MissN's comment on this thread : No matter how good you think you are there is always someone better out there. And I tell you what ... there is lots of great competition on here. But to me, great competition is not someone who comes on with a huge ego ... its someone you can have fun with on the same level and provides a plain of competition so that if you do lose, it's still been a lot of fun.
I always say: I'd rather lose in a good room than win in a bad room.
The competition on isk is awesome, I've been around about four years now ... and it really depends on which room you choose. I do however think the ones who ruin it are on the increase and are making it harder to find a roomfull of good players.
But that is all good, makes you appreciate the good rooms when you do find them.

Nuka, I love the comment about having a huge ego!! It bugs me to death when people are so obsessed with being the best that they forget to have fun. I think there is still fierce competition out there. Blitz! is usually a good time when you play with fast typers..intense! I'll always love UK and US easy when relaxing on iSketch though. :-)
or maybe I am just getting worse..and the n00bs are good competition...
