I'm still missing a vote for round 8. I'll send the captain a reminder but will accept a vote from the first listed follower in the mystery team, whichever vote comes in first between the leader and first mate.

Nice job, teams and captains!

Axel seems to have only negotiated captains. I think Wizard is reserving the right to name teams using those captains. I could be wrong, as they could have set up more details via PM.

Yes. My vote had meaning in Round 1 (when everyone voted) and Round 3 (when I was a captain). Every other round, it has really made no difference whether I was in a coma or "playing" this game.

Somehow, without asking any of us, the game has now been "sold" for a round to a long-time forum member who will pick his buddies (and Mission) to be captains so as to prove a point to the Wizard. And, we will all remain in our comas and collect another 66 cents or whatever - which is supposed to mollify the comatose, I guess. Are we having fun yet? Meh.

We could make the game more cutthroat and ruthless. Anyone who doesn't vote or speak up or do SOMETHING is automatically disqualified from the game unless they have a VALID excuse to do NOTHING in the game,(They got suspended, is the main slice in the pie I am talking about) other valid slices are their internet/power went out, or they are on vacation, they got sick, they are moderately to severely injured, are too busy with lives and work, these are the only slices that should be excused. Anyone else who does not fall into either of these slices should be automatically disqualified. ;)

Well, what do you want? Get involved! You are your own level of involvement.

On the one hand, you’re claiming to be bored, but then on the other hand, you were upset at me for being an agitator.

Were you not entertained!?

Entertainment = free beer and naked cheerleaders/ (naked male cheerleaders for Babs and Nathan)

Agitator = polite way of saying "you annoy me"

Mission, scroll up and see that Nathan is now out-writing you. Her posts are thoughtful and literate, while your posts are . . . um . . . yours.

Mission, MaxPen, and I have been cooperating. Mission said he’ll share every round. MaxPen said he’ll share as well. I don’t think either of the 3 of us have done anything to not cooperate.

We just don’t want our winnings to be pooled and then played on some dumb*** losing game. I’m not sure why Romes is trying to ‘compete’ against us. Like wtf??

Man, they’re going to be mad at you if we’re both captains one round, I can promise you that.

Have you considered that your whining about the, “Comatose,” conditions rather than doing something about them might be annoying?

I honestly didn't think you could make the trip given your rugrats, starting a new business, all while entering the new secretary. I also didn't assume your cheap ass could find a $20 round-trip flight and free lodging (-;.

You were on my captain list, however, now that you joined in the side, side pool I must reconsider.

Myself
Prozema

SOOPOO
Mission
Mikey75

I'm looking for one more, it's a hard choice, not because I think they will steal and not be honorable, I think just opposite, I wish I didn't have to pick just one.

I'm not sure how I will decide. I might even go with someone "new" someone I have only ever communicated with for the first time regarding this game. Then I won't have to make a tough decision.

Let the record show that I do not consider the proposed side bet between me and AxelWolf to have had 'the details ironed out' as per this post, where it was being discussed.

Axel might consider me to be trying to back out like a little britt b1tch
He's welcome to fully quote today's PM thread where I made clear that I'm not yet committed to it.

Should he make a point of impugning my integrity, Well, so be it.

LOL.

IIRC you started an evil side pool.


I just don't want my money to become squandered on half point parlay cards nor some magical 50k+/hour EV slot because the top jackpot cycle is 1 in 256. :)

I that and agree, however, the 1/2 parlays are not a bad idea. And you know that. Not sure why you are against that if its good value?



I thought it was more about you making sure we keep the money out of Rainbow Romes hands to avoid risking a sure loss from the resident shleprock? No doubt, we would have the best week ever of the parlay 1/2 opportunities and he would muck it up. (-;


Anyways, as I understood it, the original pooling idea was implemented so we could all conspire to max out the EV VS MIKE and cut down the variance. IIRC being part of the pool didn't require anyone to invest their money any further once the game was over. That side investment was just something some people were interested in doing.

IMHO people should all figure out what they want to do with the funds AFTER the game is over. As I said before...after the game is over I wouldn't mind allowing anyone to invest (other than Romes and perhaps a few others) and us work together and pump it up a bit on some little to no risk plays.

You do realize we have NO IDEA what we're doing with the big pool money, right? And that you could have very much offered input with more +EV and shorter turn around time and I'm sure everyone would have welcomed the ideas with open arms, right? Right?

I hope you realize even if you're "joking" if you say it enough times plenty of readers will think you have some form of merit to your jokes... I did not pick what we did with the money last time, it was a democratic vote.

...and truth be told I'm sure I could turn it in to more than Axel could. If there's no sign up promotions or free play to come from it, how will poor Axel make any money? HC with incorrect strategies? Laughable.

Yes, I was joking you make a fine investor and your not a shleprock.


Do I have to take back the Rainbow Romes part? I kinda like that.

The vote just came in. Here are the results.

Team Leader Followers Vote
1 Romes SOOPOO, PlayYourCardsRight, gamerfreak, SM777 steal
2 Joeman JohnnyQ, OnceDear, Torghatten, Jmarch79 share
3 Dalex64 gordonm888, beachbumbabs, MidwestAP, DJTeddyBear steal
4 RS troopscott, Mikey75, UKMark, AxelWolf steal
5 Nathan djatc, onenickelmiracle, prozema, Ayecarumba steal
6 PokerGrinder Keeneone, MaxPen, Face steal
7 miplet Jufo81, GWAE, Mission146 steal


Congratulations and thank you, Joeman.
Can't really see what he rest of you captains were thinking.



IMO, all the other captains were playing for their ENTIRE team. This is the only way all players get a share. Even if it's a small pot this round.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

@ The Wizard and the players.

Here is my official list.

1.Gamefreak
2.Prozema
3.BBB
4.SOOPOO
5.Mission
6.Mikey75
7.GWAE

I am even taking myself off the list.


P.S. OD is being a little _ _ _ _ and seems to be backing out of our outside bet. I would expect nothing less from a Britt.

WOW! you are never going to let me forget that are you? I allready feel bad enough.

I honestly didn't think you could make the trip given your rugrats, starting a new business, all while entering the new secretary. I also didn't assume your cheap ass could find a $20 round-trip flight and free lodging (-;.

You were on my captain list, however, now that you joined in the side, side pool I must reconsider.



since lieing is allowed in this thread.

I forgive you.

btw, I can always find a cheap flight to vegas.
Expect the worst and you will never be disappointed. I AM NOT PART OF GWAE RADIO SHOW

Seems you thought I was some dumba55 tourist to get taken for a mug. The $25 bet before seeing your choice of captains was a sucker bet. I can hardly believe Mike was daft enough to pony up $50 for an all-share where there was only $25 for a steal situation.
That said, I might still bring some cash to the party just to make you pay for bad-mouthing me.

I hear calling someone a lier is a suspendable offense so I won't.


What if I said bet on before you seen my list?

You are just using the fact that you seen my list as a way out meanwhile while pretending as if you planned it like that. You thought of that as an excuse after you seen my list.

It's either that, or you never had any intentions on a making the side bet.

What possible list do you think I would have come up with where you would have jumped on the bet? It doesn't make any sense.

Another thread, but you will have to tell me how to get cheap car rentals. Seattle for 10 days, how cheap can one get that for? Package deal, Airfare + car for 10 days round trip 2 people is costing me over 1k. Not including hotel.

The car rental was the biggest cost.
