Lol, you are a good guy bladey - I hope you continue to enjoy your poker.
I've spoken to Suit-City today.
Everything remains in place, ready to go, but some of the collateral stuff is still being readied.
When these things take place, from the outside, it all seems so easy, so simple, but it's very complex in fact, with inter-dependent bits all needing to be in place first, or it does not work. It's like a car, without spark plugs, or indicators, or lights - every bit has it's job to do, & unless everything is in place, it's wrong to press the starter & go.
It's taken a while to reach this stage, so another day or so will not change much, really. And the planned date for launch remains, as I said yesterday - unmoved, it's exactly "as was", just the announcement is slightly delayed.
There you go, you know as much as I do now.
Shoot me if you wish, but be gentle please, do it nice & slowly.
But no, I don't agree - as I stated earlier, Sky-Rich is on holiday this week, & that has been widely disseminated to the Community, as you know. The Officers of the Company don't peruse the Forum, they have jobs to do.
Again, as I have stated twice now, the date has NOT moved. but some collateral things - Content pages, Landing Pages, all have to be set up, & one or two itsy-bitsy details are not quite finished.
I will tell you this though. I was advised by wise & sage elders "not to commit, you'll get hung drawn & quartered if any dates move" but I hate to see questions not answered, & I have a little more time to deal with these things than the guys standing in for Sky-Rich. And Sky-Rich would have handled it differently to me, arguably better - he'd have taken a neutral line, "I'll pass it on, guys" sorta thing. And THAT would have been tickity-boo, fair play to him. I chose to be direct, maybe that was wrong, but that's just how I run.
So no, I don't agree that my "bosses", should have commented, & Sky-Rich cannot, he's on his jollies. And, with hindsight, it would have been better, it now appears, if I had not. But it's given a few folks a bone to chew!
When we (some others, & myself) launched APAT, ONE thread on ONE Forum ran to 171 pages of vitriol. Today, APAT is an internationally respected body for Amateur players, & still run by those same volunteers who started that thread. So I can handle a bit of flak, worry not.
Remember, please, the launch date has NOT moved. Not one day. And given how long this matter has been running, why is one or two days a problem?
I hope you don't take umbrage again, as you did last time, but I just try to be honest, & polite.
Meanwhile, a whole raft of stuff is being worked on by the Suits - this, TP, TKOIII, PTP MkII, SPT, TSP (hush, that one's a secret...), a new TV Show, VLV, da de da. A little patience won't go amiss, imo, or as my Dad used to say, "all in good time". I really - & I'm not being rude or obdurate here - can't fathom why this is so important, in the grand scheme of things. Surely we all have better, more important, things to fret about, no?
Oh - "everyone loves me"? As if! But Angell adores me, won't have a word said against me, so that's OK.
If we don't chat again before, have a good weekend.
For the avoidance of doubt, they don't even know I have Posted anything, & they never gave me permission so to do, I did so for the reason I have explained. In fact they'll be quite cross with me if they realised I'd gone "on record" I expect. Write to them & ask them if you wish, I don't tell porkies.
Which is fine, I'll handle it, but really, you should not throw out these scurrilous & unfounded allegations, it's utterly wrong.
Now we have to wait x hours to see the picture!
no then lets chill a bit, all the time this poker points thing has been raised and nothing has been done ( since site started ) it looks like more has been done with it in the last couple of days that has been at all so a bit more time to wait on it ain't going to hurt . we should be lucky we getting anything else as other sites r if u don't like it don't play here

Hi,
In case you missed it, Sky Des just Posted this on another thread......
"....We're going to trial a tournament format that will offer free points entry, and if this works we would like to extend it to a festival of several events. We had hoped to run it this month, but with TP, TKO, WSOP and lots of other initiatives on the go, we've pushed it back; probably to May. As soon as we have concrete news, we'll let you all know.
Regards,
Des....."
