Collusion from people not in the league? How? Doesn't make sense to me...
There are two and I am pretty sure there will be no arguments about them
Tuesday
A team could play great and be screwed over by a single person who can't hold their breath for 20 seconds to dive down and get a key... winning is everything.
I'm well aware that you guys don't know me from Adam. the details are all worked out

This looks fun, and I'd probably join in, except 3:15 Hawaiian time on Tuesdays won't work for me.

Example: Down to 6 players, my alliance/team/whatever is down to just me and I'm on the ropes. So I leak the password and 4 of my buddies show up and we collude so I win the tourney and get immunity.

This is an extreme example that would be obvious to spot, but surely you can see how ANYONE playing who isn't supposed to be is a problem.

Moreover, what's to prevent my "alliance" from getting on AIM and sharing our hole cards with each other?

The more I think about it, the more I think this might not work.

But I'm glad you are confident.

Thats kinda silly
If you are like most forums then I would imagine you have members who become very good friends. You also hold your own private tournaments if I'm not mistaken. What is to stop your members from getting on AIM and sharing info during your forums games? At some point, especially with something like this which is designed to be fun, you just have to trust that people are honest.
How can you trust your members in private TP games but not in something like this? It isn't like we are talking about alot of money here...
I certainly am... I'm not one to focus on the negative

[Talking Poker]

Oh, I trust the TP members.

[FinK22]

Because they belong to your forum? Aside from that, what is it that makes them any different from the majority of members at other forums?

If you want to assume the non-TP members involved in this are crooked and looking for ways to cheat thats fine. Something tells me the TP members who end up playing this won't be thinking along the same lines
