When they pay my winnings, I will immediately post about it.

For Rochester to DECIDE that the refunding of my deposit was a final resolution is just keeping in line with their old thieving position.

Perhaps you could explain what the OPU is doing to help you?

Hi Bag,

I�ll try to answer your question as to what the union is doing. First there�s the solidarity part, our members will not stand still while an innocent co-member is stiffed by rogues. Mothergoosebump was abused and alone in her ordeal. She turned many ways for help without success.

When she joined us we went out of our way to help her, in any way we could, and failed in �diplomatic� ways.

That left only one option: a strike. Whether this succeeds or not, it is our duty to use all that�s at our disposal: Bad PR, spreading the word everywhere, giving them the reputation that they deserve, sending the rogues multiple emails, calling their toll-free line, hurting the gangsters� operation as much as we can. There are 840 of us, our numbers are growing fast and hopefully we shall prevail.

We have to continue to do this until we are told to stop, or win for our member! A win meaning that she gets paid all that she is owed. We are tireless in our will.

We owe this to our member in need and we owe it to ourselves. The OPU was founded by players for players and the terms of membership dictate such measures.

Should you be a member yourself, and happen to have made a wrong choice and been ripped off, I�m certain that you would appreciate the dedication of your fellow members that would go out of their way to side up with you all of the way.

I hope that you see what we try to do in a clearer way, and that you see some good in what we represent.

My regards to all,

Thatchatch
OPU Member 4113

No, you're wrong about that. I would not appreciate the things you are doing.

I would appreciate help, but not the way they are going about it. Prank phone calls will never work. That's all I'm going to say on the matter. I don't want to be attacked too.

Hi again,

Calling a casino and asking when player mothergoosebump will be paid, whether its one member or 800, that's not crank calls!

Of course 'variations' can be used. Going on chat and pasting the same pertinent question...

Btw we got the manager out of his shell by doing this, and he's putting his feet in his mouth as we speak, uttering obvious lies and contradicting his last convo with one of us when he mentioned that the player had used a 'robot'.

As if meister himself could be accused of using Vortran.

Also, our thanks to the meister for having the topic on his 'radio' show, and his considerations for considering 'crookchester' for permanent 'roguedom'. This will not be soon enough in the minds of hundreds.

Regards all,

I've been in contact with the manager as well. He claims that the player was given several chances to have this resolved. I'm still waiting for a response from him concerning this whole situation.

Rochester's manager's statement is not false, but it is totally meaningless :
they have given me several chances of "resolving" by forfeiting my winnings for no valid reason. That is exactly what their "efforts" at resolution have amounted to from the very beginning.

They have been hammering the above statement again and again for a very long time, as if it was a proof of goodwill and generosity. It is nothing but empty rethoric.
