I've been addicted to playing Monopoly on Pogo.com, which is great except for the losers who would leave the game when they're on a losing streak. Which is fine because then a computer player takes over the game which continues uninterrupted. But it leaves a bad taste because I think that it says a lot about a person's character.

So far, I've come across 2 extreme incidents beyond quitting.

Once, this player A, who is at the brink of bankruptcy, decided to trade away all his properties for a song with another player because player A didn't want me to win, I guess because he kept landing on my expensive properties with hotels and it was one of these landings that was bankrupting him. LOL. Such childishness. Fine, so I get second place then but such childish spite over a GAME. With no stake apart from points chalked up against your profile, which do not mean anything. Tsk.

The other incident. Something similar, and I give kudos to the receiving party. He actually rejected and said he considered that cheating. That is RARE. Such principled gameplay. This, I like.

Now back to more procrastination by way of Monopoly before I have to catch up on work this public holiday. Depressing.
