                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[@dullboy,
We were just Partners in a game and I quit the game in the first-hand simply because you decided that the meld points in your hand, which is the secondary hand, is much more important than the primary hand (the bid winner). I know I've seen you do this before where you hold on to cards in your hand which are minimal points and screw us each time when we could have had a lot more points if you just played correctly. You held on to the king  In Trump that I needed for a marriage to meet the minimum rule but I didn't get it and system was going to fail us. So I quit your ass because you are an idiot..
You are never supposed to hold on to cards that are needed in the primary hand, especially trump cards. I don't plan on being your partner ever again. Have fun playing incorrectly.]]></content:encoded>

I see the game app cannot be trusted for fair play anymore. With even less playing now than a year ago I see that others must have noticed the magical adjustments too.

I have quit twice in a row.... or maybe it is 2 of 3 I have quit most recently. If it is twice in a row then the magic goes even further. Thats means my last 4 or 5 hands I have bid on I lost to a higher big of 80, 85, or 90. The other team takes the bid and magically gets a 150 point double run. Now what makes me say "magic^ is that in BOTH RECENTLY QUIT GAMES the last two hands had 150 point double runs IN A ROW....BACK-TO-BACK. And while one of the four opposing players in total of the 2 teams with magical game-ending double runs had a good career win/loss record... the other 3 are pitiful with win/loss records exceeding a ratio of 1:2 (W:L). More magic was present since they know how I bid and play but all of a sudden are beating me out of bids with high 80s or low 90s when they ALWAYS swim in cooler waters of 60-70... hmmm ... that tells me they already had the double runs before passing cards and while bidding since none have the nerve to bid that high on an unsure thing..!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your game cant be trusted anymore. I have quit more frequently lately than I ever had or ever would... And Im not the only one from what I have seen.I also noticed a lot of old players with thousands of games played arent here anymore either.  Hmmmm.]]></content:encoded>
