Guess I should have read the whole posts before I asked lol....

BrianSwa 11-30-06 08:00 PM

well
 


no one said we couldnt, and I dont remember anyone saying they were better then anyone else. But normally people that come just for the freeroll dont stay, I think last one we had, we had about 50 new people or so come and we kept I would say maybe 3-5 of them as users. Talking poker dosent mind the new users but the ones that cant read the 1st post in the thread are annoying as hell, why is it so hard to under stand....


Van_Broke 11-30-06 08:01 PM

Ya buddy because all tournaments finish in the exact order of each players skill level right?

traca69 11-30-06 08:04 PM

Now now...no need to be like that Brian.....Im really glad I dont answer posts that way.....

Whatever happened to a friendly game of poker anyway!

luke214 11-30-06 08:07 PM

I never said that they did,All I'am saying is you guys act like you could use so new member no matter how they found your forum,And yes look over your forum it looks like a good one,

Spuddy 11-30-06 08:08 PM

Anyone have any idea on the structure of the tourney?

BrianSwa 11-30-06 08:09 PM

well
 


this is a big boy forum, the kiddie forum is down the street.


funkhouse 11-30-06 08:09 PM

Ive played on dreampoker since it started. Most of my internet play has been on prima poker. dreampoker is the only reason i found this forum which seems to be pretty active, seeing all the arguing over this freeroll. most forums suck because of all the fighting and spamming so why is everyone arguing about this small freeroll...the password isnt even out there prolly wont be too many people in it, i doubt that many people are gonna be waiting here for a $250 freeroll and if they are they arent worth caring about in a small freeroll so everyone calm down and hope for a good tourney

luke214 11-30-06 08:10 PM

1000 chips or 1500 start level changs ever 10 mins

funkhouse 11-30-06 08:11 PM

thrash1294 11-30-06 08:15 PM

traca69 11-30-06 08:17 PM

Well Brian when you visited the forum I moderate I always thought you were a nice guy....boy was I wrong hey.

Thats a shame.

take care anyway

funkhouse 11-30-06 08:21 PM

ouch...ive never seen so much animosity over a freeroll tournament

BrianSwa 11-30-06 08:21 PM

yep
 


guess so, its ok we all make mistakes.

I get this way during freeroll time.

stevie18 11-30-06 08:54 PM

hello

all the way from the south west u.k

stevie18 who is 20.......

cronic101 11-30-06 08:54 PM

hell no everyone iw as just wondering if the password had been posted yet?

thrash1294 11-30-06 08:55 PM

17 guests in forum right now classic freeroll frenzy:eek:

Spuddy 11-30-06 08:55 PM

". . ."


Think that TP will PM passwords?

Oh yeah 33 minutes! Getting excited!

stevie18 11-30-06 08:56 PM

lol
 
true frenzy,this actually seems like a well funny forum....:D :D :D :D :D :D :thumbsup:

eejit101 11-30-06 08:56 PM

ChipFish???

eejit101 11-30-06 08:57 PM

oooh it starts in 32 minutes, im soo excited, im going to bed:thumbsup:

funkhouse 11-30-06 08:58 PM

pming passwords ruined the last forum i was in...everyone got pissed off because not everyone was let in...it says its supposed to be posted soon

eejit101 11-30-06 08:59 PM

gawd, itll be up IMO 10 mins before the game. More checking less posting randomly:thumbsup:

Anyone for the over/under on this thread having 105 replies before game time?

Talking Poker 11-30-06 08:59 PM

Nice idea, in theory... but do you have any idea how massive of a headache it would be for me to send out 50+ PMs right now, let alone decide where to draw the line. I mean, should the complete non-contributors who are only here for the occasional freeroll and contest be allowed to play? Should it be completely invite only? Should it be for everyone registered before such and such a date? Too complicated. And it's DP's money, so I have no problem with letting some of the DP players take a shot at it.

This freeroll is for TP members - old and new. If some of the new people enjoy themselves, maybe they will stick around the forum. I know it will be a very, very small percentage, but that's ok. If memory serves, we got people like N1kita and Robbie Robb (and maybe a few others) from that massize clusterfuck of a freeroll last year.... As crazy as this place got around then, it was still worth it in the end just for the addition of those two, IMO.

Thanks for the opinions, but this freeroll will be open to all members of the forum.

BrianSwa 11-30-06 08:59 PM

well
 


it wouldnt ruin this one because all the users that actully want to be here are not here for some silly freeroll so why would they get pissed? This is the reason we dont do freerolls here, if this one wasnt offered to TP I can pretty much garantee he wouldnt of set one up.

but like TP just stated its not his money so who cares who plays.

Spuddy 11-30-06 09:00 PM

It really is a solid forum, the last time there was a freeroll here was a "bad" experience.

However, I found this website and I have stayed since I found out it on the last freeroll. Lots of experience here, its a "laid back" quieter forum, but any time I've posted a question I have received nothing but great responses and great advice.

Definately has improved my game finding this forum.

stevie18 11-30-06 09:00 PM

i like this guys signature

Talking Poker 11-30-06 09:03 PM

While I agree with the rest of your post, this part simply isn't entirely true. This freeroll was offered to us BEFORE I put my foot down about the DP spam. After I banned a number of their accounts, DP PM'd me with an apology and still wanted to go forward with this freeroll... They even increased the $ amount.

While 95% of the people this attract are not going to stick around, having open freerolls like this CAN attract new, quality people. See above post by me for examples.

Everyone has to start here sometime... Imagine if JD found us because of a freeroll (and I think he may have). Aren't you glad he did and we weren't jerks to him (Well, any more than we actually were) from the start?

Talking Poker 11-30-06 09:05 PM

Welcome to the forum. :)

Talking Poker 11-30-06 09:06 PM

Clearly you don't know Brian very well.

funkhouse 11-30-06 09:06 PM

i know but its just impossible for the admin to decide who is in and who is out i feel like hes doing what is best for the forum

thrash1294 11-30-06 09:07 PM

NH sir:thumbsup:

stevie18 11-30-06 09:07 PM

its that
 
its that sort of openness that makes you feel welcome to a forum to be honest im not part of any other forum.

this one does make you feel free to take advice of more knowledgeable players and with being young i definately need advice on my game.feel free to pm me any time with tips etc please guys..
would be most thankful

stevie

funkhouse 11-30-06 09:07 PM

Spuddy 11-30-06 09:08 PM

Thats just because you joined the forum and have 5 posts! LOL!

Everyone has to start somewhere, I was there at one point....

Can't wait! This is going to be good!

I hope not too many freeroll chasers get in

funkhouse 11-30-06 09:10 PM

no i was just trying to help i have been a moderator in a forum before and tried to do that once....it caused absolute chaos, and i messed up doing it because it is almost impossible to find out all that are quote on quote part of the forum

eejit101 11-30-06 09:10 PM

your fucking joking?

Notice the forum stats, over 100 ppl online:thumbsup:

Talking Poker 11-30-06 09:10 PM

FYI: When I post the password (probably in another 10-15 minutes), I will be posting it in the FIRST POST in this thread. So rather then continue to argue back and forth here and risk missing it, you may want to just wait patiently there.

Spuddy 11-30-06 09:12 PM

True, and the massive abundance of new users making their first posts lol...


good point.

Oh well a 1/100 shot to win some cash is good. However, if I'm at TPs table that'll be more like a 1/250 shot!

Talking Poker 11-30-06 09:12 PM

Holy schiznit. I new we got a ton of new members today, but I didn't realize it was quite that crazy. Wow.

rmorrell11 11-30-06 09:12 PM

I'm just watchin everyone post, its almost as good as tv :thumbsup:

Talking Poker 11-30-06 09:12 PM

Ass kissing won't get you the password any faster. :rolleyes:
