Issue #171
weekly
Dear ${token1},
The last week of November is upon us, and the first Advent in Germany is this weekend. Even though our warm summers bring us Biergartens and relaxing late night sunsets, Deutschland is the place to be during the month of December.
It gets dark as hell late afternoon since the sun sets around 4 p.m.; it's cold and snowy. And Christmas is taken seriously here. Sure it's commercialized, but not a bad as in the States. There are Christmas markets in the old pedestrian zones in every village and city. Since there is no separation of Church and State, Nativity scenes are pretty much everywhere. We have two Santa Clauses, and the Christchild (a young blond girl), hands out presents on Christmas Eve. And we have Glühwein, a hot wine and rum concoction to keep you warm.
Yeah, I'm going to get a lot of work done this next month.
And I forgot that today is Thanksgiving...
Dreamingly yours,
Bryan

Well, why didn't I tell anyone that I was gone. Mainly because of security reasons. Right before I left Casinoaffiliateprograms.com and Casinomeister were both hit by a spam attack by 1CNP's casino manager(s). It was their juvenile way to respond to my 6 November's newsletter where I reported on how they were divulging privilaged information about their affiliates. They hit us both with a "Joe Job", a spam attack that uses your email address and website as the initial sender. An investigation is still underway, and these guys will probably find themselves in a Vancouver courtroom in the near future.
The thing is, there are a number of online casinos that either habitually ignore my inquiries, or just plain don't like me. So I've compiled a list here of casinos I will not attempt to contact. I apologise if some of you feel I should make every attempt possible to contact everyone, but this is unrealistic since it's a time consuming thing to do, and I'll be damned to be wasting my time. If you are a casino operator, and you see your casino on the list and wish to be removed, please contact me and perhaps we can get a line of communication going. If you are a casino operator, and you wish to be included on the list, please let me know, and I will gladly place you there. The more the merrier.
I got involved because I am 99% sure that he exists. For the past couple of years, he's been a subscribed member of this newsletter. He's played at some of the contests at Casinomeister, and he emails me periodically with a comment or two. I went as far as asking a few other casino operators that I know to see if he was a member of their casinos, the answer was yes - and he's a good customer.
I explained this to the support representative at Dice of Fire who stated that she would present this to the "the board". They wouldn't budge. I also had the player send a scanned copy of his passport, the agreement from the post office for the PO box, and a utility bill, all certified and stamped by a notary public. This wasn't good enough for the casino since they stated he didn't follow their initial procedures. Obviously, this casino is too caught up in their own misguided bureaucracy that they are blinded to the facts: this player exists, this player won $4000. So off to the rogues you go.
Presently, IQ-Ludorum is looking into this.
When Yuri was contacted again, he stated "we are planning an upgrade of our product line, which will include, among other things, introducing some new slot machine designs and removing some old ones. This should be complete by March 2004. Meanwhile, I will exclude the 2 slots in question from our website and will make sure they are not sold to new clients." So kudos for 3WGraphics for being cordial and reasonable. Instead of being an instance of an evil software provider, they are now an example of a software provider that does the right thing.
Anyway, there have been some questions on why I haven't "rogued" all of his operations and toss them into the basket of evil...well he's come close, but I have definate hope that the complaints that have been coming in are being taken care of. If these casinos are rogued, players will have no recourse but to contact RTG or just forget about it.
Nevertheless, I don't like to bullshit around, and when Oliver Curran (who I presumed was Warren Cloud in disguise) posted in my forum and dissed me (in my own forum!), I got pissed. But Warren reassured me that he and Oliver Curran are two different people. He claims that Oliver is his head manager (who sometimes get's out of hand). Well, I'm giving Warren the benefit of the doubt, I don't believe he would lie to me. You don't lie to the Casinomeister; it's not a smart thing to do.
So I've asked him to provide a copy of his ID, and a copy of Oliver Curran's (mark my word that these will never be made available for the public to view), and I stated that I will be happy to proclaim to everyone that they are two different people.
Why am I doing this? Well, one of the problems that Warren's group of casinos suffer from is an integrity issue. This stems from the frequent postings of Oliver Curran, Cashhunter, etc. in multiple forums. They (or he) ought to just stay away from the forums and let the moderators do their job. He has stated that he is paying all legitimate claims, which is fine. But there seems to be a misconception in this industry that by merely paying players warrants the label "a reputable business". I feel that the public conduct of management and its relationship with its players and promoters is a direct reflection of the business ethics of the operation.
So here I wait...send me some pics please.

3. This week's humor
One for the guys...
A blonde with two red ears went to her doctor. The doctor asked her what had happened to her ears?
"I was ironing a shirt and the phone rang - but instead of picking up the phone I accidentally picked up the iron and stuck it to my ear."
"Oh Dear!" the doctor exclaimed in disbelief. "But .. what happened to your other ear?"
"The son-of-a-bitch called back."
And for the ladies...
A woman and a man are involved in a car accident; it's a bad one. Both of their cars are totally demolished but amazingly neither of them are hurt.
After they crawl out of their cars, the woman says, "Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing left, but fortunately we are unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days."
The man replied, "I agree with you completely. This must be a sign from God!"
The woman continued, "And look at this, here's another miracle. My car is completely demolished but this bottle of wine didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune."
Then she hands the bottle to the man. The man nods his head in agreement, opens it, drinks half the bottle, and extends it back to the woman.
Politely, the woman refuses to accept the bottle.
The man asks, "Aren't you having any?"
The woman replies, "No. I think I'll just wait for the police..."
