As far as i can tell, there is no-one running this site. I have no idea where my membership money is going - someone is collecting cash for nothing!

Has anyone ever had a response from ZE staff to a question or concern? I've now flagged 3 times that the 46th BG tournament is stuck without any comment from ZE.

Does anyone know of somewhere better to play BG where there is better co-ordination and innovation. It's ridiculous that ZE members make up their own tournaments such as CT or nations or the knockout - these should be part of the site.

I have also had concerns over the time I've been a member here and, unfortunately, have never gotten any response from ZE.

It's a shame the 46th BG tournament is stuck for so long without anyone noticing!

Maybe if you just put up a thread with a catchy title - like this one - someone will bother?
(Just a thought)

Yahoo BG

You can play BG there and finish games within minutes of starting. There are no tournaments however if you enjoy playing recommend their site. OF COURSE there are players on the site who want be dishonest with slow play. I typically bow out of those games loss of point standing than exhausting my time. Majority of the players are honest .

No fees to play on Yahoo BG ... I have played there for years... Then discovered ZE ... enjoy the ZE tournaments ...however my personal/ professional lifestyle has impeded my time to play on any BG site.

NOTE: I don't believe Yahoo allows play on tablets/smart phones... I typically play via laptop

The best thing about ZE is that they allow turns with days same like garment.

I dont think there is any other site offering this but if u wanna play live then try PlayGem


Here ZE never replies now..I got ZE info from gameknot page and i believe both sites are linked smoehow, Its a long shot but u can contact GK admins to get a response for ur query

....which was certainly the case for Athena = Darthvader = Sideshowbob2012 = Nemesis999 = poiuyt. All of these user names were created by the same person as he was kicked off ZE 5 consecutive times. He is now playing under the name Suntsu and he has been behaving himself since he singed up under this name a couple of months ago. As long as he continues to behave, he will be allowed to play. Perhaps he has finally learned his lesson. Time will tell.

As for other BG sites I agree with itisme about Yahoo BG. I play there myself and have pretty good luck with players showing good sportsmanship. I've never tried PlayGem but might based on ChWaqasAhmed's recommendation.

Cheers!
