Ok let me see if i have this right. There is a new schedule out for the freerolls. It cuts out one freeroll a day. switches the times on them periodically, adds more buy in games, all have a guaranteed prize pool and all are now ranking. Some people hate this and some people love this. I understand all so far. What I do not understand is the personal attacks not only on fellow members but also on the prorails.
xxxxxxx you sir have no right to say that anyone eles thinks that they are better than any other person on this site. from what I could tell niether xxxxxxx or xxxxxx said a single thing degrading to you. xxx simply posted a blog saying that he liked the new schedule and that if others didn't then they can feel free to go elsewhere to play their free games. Mrs Magoo simply wondered what you meant by saying "Cash players won't be big site contributors and the freeroll crowd will start going to other forums. My guess is a year from now birds will be nothing like it was in 2007. Perhaps not for the better either." Its a good question and like she said cash players do contribute tons to this site. Then you lash out at both of them saying "Let the selfishness and the "elite' comments begin. This is less than a day and the us versus them thing is in full vigor. xxxxxx, this brat baseball xxx and other exaulting the virtues of more buy ins." When did they become selfish? xxxxxxx I know for a fact has helped loads of fellow railbirds build a bankroll sometimes without even so much as a thank you. She has given helpful advice, been there for others when they are down or up and has bought many railbirds into charity tourneys without asking for anything in return. Seems you need to look up the meaning of selfishness here let me help you with that. The definition of selfishness is:
| 1. |
devoted to or caring only for oneself; concerned primarily with one's own interests, benefits, welfare, etc., regardless of others. |
| 2. |
characterized by or manifesting concern or care only for oneself |
xxxxx seems to be very far from that definition indeed. She has pulled a lot of money out of her own bankroll to help others on here start theirs. You might want to rethink your statement about someone who considered you a friend xxxx. She did nothing to deserve to be talked about or treated this way. I'm proud of her sir and very disappointed in you.
As for xxxxxx or any other prorail on here they will support this site and any blog they see fit to as long as it is in support of this site and its changes. They do a damn fine job on here and bust their asses to TRY and keep as many of us as happy as possible while defending the site and its rules. i say kuddos to you prorails! You all get a big thumbs up from me. Proud of you all. oh and I think 2008 will be a great year for this site.
This site is a community and it is a family to lots of us. I love this place and i love a ton of the members on here. Change can be great if you just give it a chance. We all contribute in our own ways as much as we can weather we have a bankroll or not. Play nice or move on.

Well said Andie...
This site offers alot more than freerolls to players, and there are some damn fine posts concerning cash games...
The contributions of the members of this site, especially the prorails, takes time, and alot of times money, that these individuals give out of kindness, never expecting anything back...The only thing they appreciate back is a Thank You...Simple enough...
The people who come here just for the freerolls have no idea what they are really missing...And you, sir, should look a little deeper into this site, and be thankful that we have such players as TheWall, MrsMagoo, HH, Cpt, Game, sqrltyler......oh dear, this list could get long......These people take time from their families to be here to support this site and contribute in a positive manner...They take money from their personal bankrolls to help those who cant afford it, and I think this is a wonderful site...this site has become my second home and the family who lives here in this nest is WONDERFUL...
If you have such negative things to say about it sir, you are more than welcome to be the FIRST of the movers that you spoke about moving to other forums...
And you need to lay-off of MrsMagoo...You started a war sir that you cannot win...
So true, I was gone at work most of the nite so I moreless missed wtf happened as far as the trnys but I been seeing parts here an there. Big deal things got changed around/ up some, there is more to this site then trny's.

I missed the first blog to. I know whatever the propails do it is for our best interest, And for the good of the community. Im one of the rare few who am not here for the freerolls. I love to play them or I love to just be a railer for someone else. So I hope the prorails know that most of us love this site and think of it as a second home. I have made many wonderful friends here and I plan on making even more friends. So keep up the great thing your doing by making this site home.
((Hugs))
