Concerns about League tournament’s registration
First of all sorry for my lack of posts lately and for not approving some of your comments in time. I have tons of things to do and a lot of good games around, so my posting time is reduced to the minimum.
I’m not a tournament player, so I don’t really feel like being a regular player of the League, something that is worth for sure (especially for a freak online player like me; did you see the first prize? LOL. Definitely tempting). Even though, last Sunday I decided to play a Full Tilt freeroll League event, just to play with some of you.
As it was required I joined the PokerVibez event and then went to my Full Tilt lobby. I noticed something was happening as there were almost 1.5k players registered. We weren’t that much in the event, so what?
I had some kind of intuition about what was going on. I was afraid someone was sharing the tournament’s passwords in forums… and that was exactly what was happening.
I suppose that isn’t morally bad to share this kind of info with your people but it definitely detracts the interests of the community’s members. I mean, people inside PokerVibez doesn’t deserve, after being committed to play the League, that one of us start to share those passwords (because the user doing that is the administrator of some kind of forum for regulars of freerolls). This is not fair.
If my suspect of those admins sharing the pass is right, there’s little to do about that except report them in case we knew who they are. I’d do it if I knew who they are just because they are trying to run over my interests.
If this is not happening and it’s just a silly member trying to become popular in a forum… well, that’s stupid. You could invite people to join PokerVibez, which is something much better than giving him a freeroll password.
I spoke with a friend who’s collaborating with the PokerVibez Team and he told me that they will be probably able to make all the PokerVibez NON members unpaid if they get in one of this tournaments. This is awesome because then there’ll be no point to get in a tournament and play if you’re not going to get your prize.
Anyway it’s still a matter of responsibility. You’re inside a big community now, do your best to make it better not worse.
This is the way I see things. If you’re inside something harm people to get the best of it is only allowed if the rules of play consent it. This is not the case. So, please, keep you honest! And if you’re a sick-of-this-member report those users that you know are trying to fuck everybody up.
And that’s the sermon I had for today, people :P. See you around!!
