  Hi 1proudnanny.  This is a good question.  As long as you have the person's name HIGHLIGHTED that you want to send a message to, they will be the ONLY person who can see the message.  However, it will show in the main chat, but not everyone can see it.  Only the person who you double clicked and highlighted (and yourself) will see that message.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!. 
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!).   The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
