Totally agree - it would be amazing and fun
Reading this forum recently, it strikes me that Sky could make an immeasurably positive contribution to the entire community, merely by adding a simple new function, which I'm sure could be easily implement by anyone with a soldering iron; a brain cell; an O' Level in Physical Education; and a modicum of common sense. Are you ready?
My suggestion is, to fit some new buttons into the playing pane of the Poker Tables, labelled: “Auto-Abuse”.
I'm pretty sure that there's a lot of angst-ridden Goths (or people who have listened to too many Girls Aloud records backwards), who appear to expend an unfeasible amount of time and energy in abusing other players, when their time would be better vested in learning to play Poker better.
So... People; Brothers; Sisters; we can help these mentally challenged individuals. I propose that we employ a small cluster of new buttons, just below the table graphic (next to the betting sliders), simply labelled from A to F ('F' being the most serious abuse). Here's the key to those insults...
If you feel aggrieved, wronged, cheated (or drunk), when playing, then you'd simply hit the following buttons, to automatically populate the chat-box with fetid invective:
A = You are a donk; you can't play; and I shall visit your house and smite you sharply across the nose with a rolled-up copy of Bluff Magazine, if you persist in calling my raises with utter botty-wipes.
B = You really get on my nerves, you do. Please play on another table with immediate effect, because you cause the chemicals in my brain-synapses to become flooded with venom and vitriol. Additionally, you should be aware that I have a low-sugar intake and bruise easily. Also, I will tell my Dad (who is bigger than your Dad, incidentally).
C = Your mother conducts questionable acts with blunt, rubber objects.
D = ur bd plyer and yr feet sml ov cheese (Note: I've included this insult for the more cerebral and tactical abusers).
E = *76% #$2@@ brfdggh?><!! (Note: I've included this insult for two groups of players: Those with fat fingers who make lots of spelling errors; and those that are so enraged and perplexed, that they don't know what they want to scream, and would therefore prefer to leave the interpretation up to the perpetrator of their rage).
F = You are living proof that members of Her Majesty's Constabulary actually copulate with their own Alsation Sniffer Dogs. Har-Har, Har-De-Har, you buffoon of gargantuan proportions.
In the interests of balance – and if there's any room left – I'd respectfully suggest a separate panel of buttons, that allow the victims of abuse to respond in an appropriate manner. Their responses would be:
G = u2, sunshine.
H = bye!
I = omg, lol, n1!!
J = I know for a fact that your mother enjoys precisely the same lewd activities... Thrice nightly, in fact!
K = Please desist from this puerile activity, as it only reveals you to be a uni-browed, Banjo-playing hick with bad teeth and the social decorum of a gnat.
L = I know, and I love you with equal depth. Now give me your chips, in order that that I may spend them by wining and dining your aforementioned mother at Nando's (as a prelude to assisting her with the whole 'blunt-instrument' caper).
Finally; I know what you're all thinking: I'm a giving guy who is far too generous with his help, and one day, it's highly likely that some person of questionable provenance, will take my generous spirit for granted, and trample upon my delicate and tender heart. My friends, when that happens, I shall be glad to sacrifice my loyalty and faith, for the good of *sniff*, the community... and all of you guys. I love you. Don't go changing.
I have to go now, as I have something in my eye.
I can understand where your coming from, BUT , is it fair to the other players in the tourney for you to get all those free chips. I personnally think a better way to do it is, after one level all players that are away should then have to put in the big blind EVERY hand until they bust out of return to the table.
This has happened when i've played live, but i have no idea how an online site would work that, probably very difficult.
col
so say we start with 500 chips like normal and blinds go up every minute, but if u knock some 1 out u get some money off there heads, quick game but fun and i think alot of ppl would play it while waitin for other tournies, plus not many people play the russian roulette tournies anymore so why not make them better to see if ppl like them
First one i mentioned in another thread about the winners of the televised events having a tournament either monthly or yearly to become the Online tv champion. Or something similar.
Secondly, how about Bounty Hunter xp. The prizepool divded between the players at the start as normal, the more sucessful the player the higher share they get of the bounty prize money (in comaprason to other players in the tournament)
i'd like to see my 15 yr old as an analyst/presenter.
she'd be perfect as apparently she knows everything about everything.
i'd like to see the auto censor facility in the chat box, to censor such words as idiot, moron and imbecile. i get called that enough simply walking around town, so don't need it here.
it wouldn't be financially viable to sky, but a sunday 1200-1400 (thereabouts) start, deepstack, 20 minute blinds, 50 quid buy in would be worth playing, and worth playing sensibly.
a pop up message should appear for all players who register for a freeroll and it should say something to the effect of "do not expect good play from people who know how to play. this costs nothing, people play super loose, so no need to get lairy if you get donked"
but, seeing as he said, no blinds, what is to stop a player from never pushing? the game would last for 69 billion years.
we will hopefully run another one of these competitions in the future. unfortunately i can't give you any dates but keep an eye out in the forum for any announcements.
all the best,
Rich
hi Rich
How about extending time between flop, turn and river maybe half second or so this would make the game more exiting
1. We need some kind of "settings" page to save our personal preferences....
2. I absolutely HATE the new "Rematch" and "Play Again" features. It now takes at least 3 mouse clicks to just close the game window. I am perfectly capable of selecting my own games. We need to have the option to disable these "features".
3. I don't multi-table, although i'm considering it. Loading the game windows and THEN having to click "mini view" is a pain in the a-r-s-e. Why can't we choose what size we want the game window to launch? I'm sure many multi-tablers would prefer their games to auto-launch in mini view...
