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".

Deb,

Ryan was not talking about the actual players, but the problem. At the 500 table, PGAs are less of a concern because there is a much higher turnover of players at the table. That and there just aren't that many points at stake at a 500 table (relatively speaking to the 2k and 5k tables).

There was no intent by Ryan to be condescending or speak of the relative unimportance of 500 players...but rather the scope of the problem.

The truth is the players who are going after the points are at the 2k/5k tables after the first week of the month...so the PGA and friendly banter turn into silent truces are much much much more of an issue at the 2k and 5k tables.
