Nick Pryce, New Blog 30th May
Nick has posted a new blog here is a link to it. EDIT> Until further notice I have removed the link MOD_JOCKBMW
I have deleted the original thread as there was some doubt as to the authenticity of some of the post, which were supposed to be posted on behalf of an individual.
I'm sorry for the deletion of the entire thread but I didn't see any other choice in this matter

not a blight on Nick, but slating an ex-employee is bad form for the community imo
Plus, it was a very interesting blog, which many people including myself are looking forward to read.
What next??? Tikay retires and we all slate him publicly??
Yes, i know i have on occasion had a rant about the algorithms that match the RNG, but public ridicule of a former employee is just not cricket
If you want to check the legal aspect of this Mr 1267, i got my team of lawyers ready
First off I didn't slate Ed's analyst skills, I thought he was a good analyst. I wrote a blog about my Total Player experience which he happened to be 'involved in'. I spoke truthfully and if that's not good enough for people then fair enough. I have no reason to lie on the matter, I'd much rather have written how Ed was a great mentor, taught me lots, great guy etc - but simple fact is I couldn't.
Secondly, Ed has the right to reply to my blog of course he does - he could have done it on there in person though. i thought his replies were a bit below the belt tbf and I can't understand how he has come to that conclusion after speaking to me for a grand total of...maybe 60 seconds? The second one in particular was a complete fabrication.
if you have gotten to know me over the last couple of years, or indeed don't know me and have started to by reading this blog - you'll know/have a fair idea that I'm not how he painted me in those replies. Particularly at the time I was the complete opposite - I had some confidence but I had played the game for less than a year and all I wanted to do was learn.
Fwiw I spoke to all the other candidates from his team on the show and I hope they don't mind me saying they all had very similar thoughts - clearly the issue wasn't just mine and therefore not a personality clash or because 'I made his skin crawl'.
Anyway hopefully we can move on from this post - loads more to come (not all controversial as this one has turned out). Will continue to be honest so if you can handle it keep reading!
Cheers
Can't help but feel you have gone power mad by deleting the link.
Ed has nothing to do with Sky now, and i can't really see how Nick expressing his opinion on Ed is really a problem.
In TommyD's blog, people have slagged off footballers etc... , are you going to delete that too ?
No reason why the link shouldn't stay up - what I wrote shouldn't impact peoples thoughts on his analyst skills at all.
If the link doesn't get put up in the future then anyone interested in following the blog still can follow me on twitter at @ndmpryce - I'll tweet new posts.
You and Ed do realise there is a COMMENT function on my blog don't you? Like at the end of the posts you can click 'comment' and then write what you want..?
ok rule 1. swearing???
rule 2??? defomatory libellous remarks
rule 3....conversations between skypoker staff and customers.
Breaking 1 rule can lead to a thread/comment but breaking 3 is allowed????
Nick, this is nothing against you or your blog, however Sky must be seen to be being fair and abiding by its own rules and guidelines, and not throwing them out the window when it suits??
Re the original thread, before Jock deleted it I had closed it, just after writting a lovely long post explaining everything to you guys. It's gone now. Marv, cheers Jock
This is a request for everyone to play nice. I have no intention of closing this thread as none of the forum rules have been broken. All parties are welcome to post here but if anyone breaks forum rules, and I'm particularly thinking in terms of rudeness and abuse towards another member of the community, then I'm snap deleting those individual posts.
Forum rules do not cover Nick's blog and as at present there is no link to that blog this thread is in no way breaking any rules.
Please keep it that way.
End Mod mode.
That was the whole point Tommy, that the link be deleted and the promotion of it be deleted, thank you all.
*link to blog*
Is all that is needed. Discussion can then carry on.
