[HS] Boat Tournament: Competitors, strategies, et al.

[Karija]

I've got 'round 3000+ chips.

Brian "BB Gun" Blaine has 600+
Xavier "G-Man" Parson has 400+
Brock Wilson has 400+
Chris Fuller has 1200+

Edit:Ack, you took the full names of my guys off your list, lemme see if I can add it...

I've played the four guys you're playing now earlier today. So I don't think it'd work to edit our own posts, because we'll all be playing mixes of these guys. Thus far, I've only seen those eight names in the games I've been playing, in addition to the various "Parare Joes".

I've played a few times and haven't played against anybody except the "Parare Joes". However, when I first sat down to play, I got a cinch hand and knew I couldn't lose. As a joke, I bet somewhere in the millions (I lost track of zeros at that point) thinking there's no way it will let me bet that much especially since I only have 500 chips. Well it did, and I won. You can apparantly push the buy back in button as many times as you want and continue betting on the same round over and over again. I don't know if I should contact the webmaster or keep making money.

Just for the curious, my chip count now stands at over 160 million...now where do I cash out?

[ALISDAIRPARK]

Yup just discovered that too, although only to the tune of a modest 70000 chips.

I emailed the webmaster address as I think it takes the fun out of faking out your opponents. Also if you bet more than you have you don't seem to lose any chips if you lose. Will make the tournie proper a little strange...

[Abyss]

Ha!

So I was doing that thing with betting more money then you have as well, and someone must of got annoyed at this from me betting to much and now I have -1 chips even though I won the hand.... lol

This game is pretty addicting though.

[ALISDAIRPARK]

Just got a reply from the webmaster, who is indeed Ned.

Tournament

You haven't missed much, a quick read of the threads will bring you up to speed. The Tournament proper starts tonight I think!

Yes confirmed: new post in VD ( ) http://www.voxdiaboli.com/?p=7

EDIT: is 5pm EST 10 pm here?

[ALISDAIRPARK]

No updates, but I'm assuming we'll be on at the usual time (hopefully not for the usual dissappointment!).

[aislyn]

Well, as usual the Boat tournament isn't working quite as well as I'd hoped. Seems to be the same old slowness.

[ALISDAIRPARK]

No tables showing for me.

EDIT: The big C says things should be fixed in 15.

[Karija]

It wasn't working correctly - no betting between rounds, too many cards, etc. Ned is rebooting it and it should be back up at the top of the hour for another run-through.

[ALISDAIRPARK]

OOOH look. No extra tables.

[Abyss]

So, in a nutshell for all of you who weren't able to attend, the game started 45 mintues late on account of Mr. Baron having extra chips. A few hands were played and then at the last hand Mr. Baron won a huge pot with a flush (that looked like it was going to be a royal flush). Then the game went all wacky and Mr. Baron changed his name to Lucky Jack.

Shortly after the game I had this game with Conelrad.

[Karija]

That bit about the restrictions - that wasn't before the game. I was talking to Conelrad about Mr Clarkson (i.e. was he really a good mayor). Conelrad replied that Mr Clarkson made sweeping changes upon becoming mayor - including stopping the curfew, prohibitions, etc.

Still waiting for a podcast from Conelrad.
