So not exactly a guess at the titles of the om's but if anyone was on playing tonight there were a few tables you couldn't join.
Three of them where two of the LPC_(City) Players were playing, just two and no one else. Then a 4th was with Hmrpita and another LPC_(City) bot playing. No one at all could join those tables.
Secret meeting of the PMs?

Drat me too. Several practice rooms won't let me play or watch.

I mean real money games, not the practice tables.

LOL, in the poker rooms?

I rather suspect they have more conventional, less vulnerable ways to communicate.

It's probably some sort of site maintenance or something. Smile

Happened to me this morning.

Both rooms with only Bots would not let me in, but there was a room where xnbomb was playing and no bots, still wouldn't let me in (the table wasn't full).

I don't think I didn anything to piss off any bots.

Yesterday morning/afternoon I saw two bots occupying the same room [not a practice game] with no other players and I decided to see if they were actually playing or what was going on.

It took me several winning pots before I finally realized that the money wasn't going back to me like it should have. It wouldn't go back to the bots [from what I can remember] but I wouldn't get back what I put in to bet with either.

I figured it was because the PMs realized people were cheating that way and figured out a way to stop it from happening.

Doesn't make sense why they're still in the room together if no one can join though.

I bet they're still ironing that stuff out. It *feels* like a stopgap measure until they can put some stuff in place.

BTW, I have mentioned this to specific people I know use Macs, but I'll drop the info here, too: there is Mac support coming very very soon. Hang tight.

I just want to say here that I find it ironic that Vic sounds to me like Myke; the red shirt guy who was our contact at Coachella and also died as a result of being shot in the head after people couldn't get a hold of him on the phone.

That is all.

*Note*

Hmrpita is not a "player" name we can lookup. Nor to any of the LC_(City) ones. Yep either the PITA is going to become an unlocked character at some point in the future or it is as noted "secret meetings" I have also noticed "players with non standard nicks such as o and e and nd Smaller and LC nicks certainly look as if they are "reserved" for the Special Players (PM's, possible character bots{?}, technical crew) They might be having secret meetings, but then again maybe they are locking the rooms while the are testing to reproduce a specific bug, or to ensure that the cards lay out in a specific manner. Note that the "previous hand and the current hand id show in the window. Maybe they are loading the deck for a specific game?

The very short names aren't really names at all, but a continuation of the name on the line before. The interface doesn't handle long names well. For example,

LC_Amsterdam

may come out looking like

LC_Amsterd
am

on the room list, particularly if the player/NPC has a lot of chips. There are a few interface glitches like that. Another one is, if you keep clicking on column headers to sort by that column, you'll see the header tag start to "walk" down and to the right of the room list.

Just a slob like one of us? Just a stranger on the bus, trying to make his way home?
