I decided use all my time (2 days) for each move! And in the end I WON the game!
So you were going for the win on time. Great sportsmanship!
Blocking really rude players
Sort:
Texas don't even try. He doesn't realise how contemptible his actions have been.
... hahaha

Sportsmanship?
What has using every allowable tactic got to do with sportsmanship?
When I play I will use every allowable rule in the book to try and win, I don't play to lose. I would also expect my opponent to do the same. If he chooses not to use every tactic at his disposal that is entirely up to him. To say that is unsporting, well that's your opinion and you are welcome to it but IMO it is not unsporting at all...I'd even call it clever! 
If the guy doesn't want to shake my hand at the end, well that's up to him, no skin off my nose!

Wow, what a *ahem*. There are many things in sports and games that are ok 'according to the rules' but anyone with some sort of moral compass would shy away from. Clearly you don't possess one of these.
I'd sell you one but it requires the purchaser to have a soul :/

If you're going to go around giving both spellings to every word that the English and Americans disagree on, posts would take all day! I think we can bear with the alternative on the forums!
Anyway. I've never blocked a player. Never will. If someone is trying to be 'rude', well, that just makes it all the more fun!
Nytik, what if we were to take our rubbish out of our flat, use the lift and put it on the pavement? :D

A moral compass! lol Now you want to tell me it can be immoral to play within the rules of a game!? Unsporting and immoral! lol
Why bother having rules if you don't use them? May as well be playing a different game as far as I am concerned! But as I have said before, if you want to not use the full extent, you are quite welcome! Cheers! 
Like I said, if you want to be a total git, you are also quite welcome :)
Many examples of playing within the rules but being a git are evident in all sports.
The football (soccer) example has been quoted before where one team kicks the ball out of play because a player is injured, and then the other team gives it back to them.
Of course the other team are well within their rights to keep the ball, it's in the rules, but boy everyone would think they're ****s. And it practically never, ever happens.

Me and my GSP avatar are not trying to flood this board with UFC stuff, but it seems to me this is an apt example. At the beggining of fights, most of the fighters will lower their guard and touch gloves. A fighter is certainly well within the rules to try to catch his opponent with a suprise punch. Wouldn't anyone with a shred of common sense call that unsportsmanlike? God I hope it wouldn't be called clever.
So that should make it pretty clear that legally allowable (rules) and morally allowable are two different things.
Actually, boxers are instructed not to touch gloves because it is well within the rules for the other guy to take advantage of it. What's the final instruction, "when the bell rings come out fighting"...so in this example, it is not so much the 'clever' thing to do on the behalf of the boxer taking advantage, but more the 'not clever' on behalf of the fighter wanting to touch gloves!
So no, it doesn't make it pretty clear at all!

Actually the clearest thing of all was that I was not talking about boxing
Just to spell it out for you, UFC fighters DO touch gloves....a lot.
Well if that is the clearest, then the cloudest would be; that legally allowable (rules) and morally allowable are two different things.

Wait, I'm not sure exactly what you're going for here....since its not possible you didn't understood what that meant. Is it?
Suggo, I see you are clearly quite incapable of addressing the example and its associated moral... do you have any real response to the example?
Because in your book you'd keep the ball in that situation...
There is no moral involved in the example. If a boxer comes out and wants to touch gloves the other boxer should IMHO take advantage of it and 'surprise' punch him. I put surprise in ' ' because it would not be a surprise. The example has no moral story to it...that was my point.
They may very well touch gloves...a lot...that doesn't mean anything. Neither have to and neither would be in strife if they took advantage of the other guy dropping his guard. As I have said before here, if you don't want to take full advantage of the rules knock yourselves out...wait, no the other guy will probably do that for you in this case! lol
is it ok to resign when you have won the game?
It's ok... but it would be a strange thing to do.
