So, im going to address a mentality that you have that really pisses me off as not one of the "top players". I feel that the best way to do this is to go through some of your quotes from the ridiculously long forum and explain
Why the hell is this NOT an issue at lower tables? Does it not still "ruin the integrity of the competition"? I used to compete (and it was a challenge and a goal for me) for the top 100 spots. I mostly stayed at 500 tables. Does that mean that cheating and unfair play that happens on the 500 tables doesn't matter because the integrity of my competition doesn't matter? Why is it that integrity need only be found on the top tables??? Ryan: But I'm only concerned that this stays out of the top players. Top players need to be about playing well and not who you know. Ok, cool, im not a top player, guess it's fine and dandy if I play all about who i know. forget playing well, i dont matter, my competition doesn't matter... i need not have integrity!! PGA FOR ME CUZ IM NOT AT THE TOP! Let's quote that again "Ryan: But I'm only concerned that this stays out of the top players". Ryan: KDice is a great game and to take it to the next level the unsportsmanlike personalities need to be gone. Unless of course you are not at the top. Ryan has made it very clear this issue only matters at the top. In which case, play on all you unsportsmanlike personalities out there! just don't get in the top 20 and you can be a cheater all you want! Ryan: we want some integrity and those without will get booted. See above. Does not apply to those ryan finds to be lower. Ryan: Rigor, if you don't care about being competing for a top spot go play the lower tables and stop worrying about what's fair. OMG RYAN! Really??? did you seriously just say that? I feel like all of the people that are not the top 50 you have mentioned should be in an uproar. "go play the lower tables and stop worrying about what's fair". Fairness doesn't matter at lower tables. You said it Ryan. Right there. Do we really matter that little to you?? You seem to deem fairness so much (i believe you told mike_mike that the game should be fair over fuN) yet it doesn't matter if the lower tables are unfair. Ok. cool. Thanks for being concerned with the play of the average person. Ryan: Johnson213, Yes, most people play the game in a good way and the majority don't care about the top players. This whole culture change doesn't have anything to do with the regular player. It's purely about the top players and the integrity of the competition. Most people aren't really competing for a top spot. Why not? Is it not a problem with the entire culture? Is it really just the elite that cheat? Just because someone has to fight hard to earn 4,000 pts doesn't meant that it isn't a competition to them. Just because someoen doesn't think they can make it to the top (or even want to try), that doesn't mean their competition shouldn't be fair. Ryan: Do not take your relationships between games. Its fine to be friends, but play the game as a single entity regardless of relationships. Otherwise it's clearly unfair play. But it's cool people not at the top. We can play unfair, since Ryan doesn't care. Thank you for making it blatantly clear that you do not care about the vast majority of people that play the game. Thank you for showing that those not fighting for the top 25 don't deserve a fair competition. Good God, no wonder some of the top players are elitist, look at the game creator. I know a lot of the top players. I like to chat, so I tend to make connections with people quickly. I like to play the game. I like a fair game. But apparently Ryan is "only concerned that this stays out of the top players". |

at 11:51 PM, Saturday January 9, 2010 EST I'm definitely looking forward to some solutions against cheating at the lower tables. I don't believe in the trickling-down strategy, but I guess it is a good starting point for further action.

at 12:22 PM, Sunday January 10, 2010 EST My two cents, for the tons of people that I'm sure are DYING to hear it:
Debwa's leaped at the chance to take haughty, self-righteous umbrage for what he perceived as being a supposed injustice. He felt marginalized, and so he got up on his soapbox and grandstanded in the name of "all that is right", or some shit. What I think Ryan's point was, although this wasn't said explicitly and I'm just interpreting here, is that play at 0 and 100 tables is fairly loose and unorganized. There are thousands of players on those tables, and moreover, even if people did form coalitions, there's relatively few points to be made down there. On the other hand, the 500 and 2k tables have a much smaller community, so it's much easier to profitably form PGA's and abuse the system. It's not that the lower tables don't matter, it's that it's more difficult and less profitable to actually try and cheat down there, and thus requires less official policing. Not only did Debwa not consider this, but he took a really righteous and obnoxious tone in shouting about the way he was being ignored. So that's two strikes against, even if I'm not totally unsympathetic to the point I thin he was trying to make. |

1. I'm totally ashamed of the Debwa post :(. Shows a really strong lack of maturity. Sad day. 2. I stand by the Gadjett posts and think it's even more entertaining that after apologizing, that account got banned. 3. What really made me laugh was how Ryan was so much on his rampage he assumed anything said was an attempt to slow him down. So funny. 4. Just has to be said.... Debwa is a *SHE* |
