weekly




Dear Reader,

It's been one heck of a busy week. It's been so damn busy - I've got a new bass, and I've barely played the damn thing. What's up with that? I should be jammin' right now - but you, my dear ${token2}, shall be my song for the moment.

Harmoniously yours,

Bryan

    WORD FROM THE MEISTER
    FREEDOM OF SPEECH, OR WHAT?
    This week has been a very active week in our forum. Unfortunately, much of the activity was not the kind I actively seek out. It was problematic. Why problematic? Well, forums can be a great place to provide and gather information, and to make contact with people from all over the world. It's really a fascinating thing if you think hard enough about it. Casinomeister's forum is one of the oldest and most frequently visited forums in the online casino industry. I've worked damn hard to get it this way. It serves the casino community as a tool as well. I take pride in my forum because we have some of the best minds in the industry who frequent the site - sharing their thoughts and wisdom. And we have many average Joes and Janes sharing their insights and experiences as well.

    The thing is, it is also a place where disinformation can be dispersed and damaging statements can be made. I do not care for this.

    Last night I suspended a guy's account because he decided to chime in on another player's posted complaint calling the casino more-or-less crooked. Now what the hell is that? If I'm going to assist in the matter, it doesn't make it any easier if I have to direct an operator's attention to a thread full of derogatory statements toward the casino. That is totally uncool -- and against Casinomeister's posting policy. Beware.

    There also seems to be a trend for first time posters jumping in and posting vague accusations. One such poster did last night stating that William Hill and Cryptologic were under investigation for fraud. http://www.casinomeister.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9787 Strong words, and quite unbelievable without a inkling of evidence to support such a claim. Is this responsible posting activity? Nope, it's not. It's rumour mongering. Time will tell if this is a valid claim or not, and its postings like this that do not make administrating the forum easy.

    But it does make it lively I admit - thus it's problematic. It's also problematic since I cannot get involved with every thread, thus I can't catch everyone when they cross the line into the dark side.

    I encourage people to voice their opinions - but just like standing on a street corner, voicing one's protest must be done responsibly. I remember years ago when I lived in Columbia, South Carolina, there was a group of street preachers who would literally thump their Bibles and preach at the top of their lungs in a tag team fashion on a street corner downtown. It was relentless - and irritating as hell. They could ruin a happy hour pretty quick (their chosen hour to preach). But they had the freedom to do so just as long as they wouldn't pick anyone out in the crowd and start condemning them to hell in a personal sort of way. That would have been considered harrassment; it's against the law, and they would have lost their street preaching permit.

    Well, Casinomeister is my turf, and I don't like street preachers. Sorry, but that's just the way it is.
    Speaking of the forum, let's welcome Simmo! as a new moderator. He's a fine outstanding young man, I'll think he'll do. Please obey his directives if the situation arises.
    And speaking of my man. Simmo!, he has challenged Slotster to a duel at 32Red Casino on the slot machines. "We've decided to have an "OktoberFest" - a 1-on-1 fight to be the first to hit an MG Slots Progressive Jackpot If one of us hits, the other gets a 30% sweetener - but zero kudos!! Far more important! If we fail to hit one, next biggest "coin" win takes it... " So let's watch them go broke or hit it big here! http://www.casinomeister.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9735. And it gets better. Looks like 32Red is getting involved and might be making this something anyone can get involved with. Check it out!

    And now for the humor......
    John, the farmer, was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers, hens, called pullets and eight or ten roosters, whose job was to fertilize the eggs.

    The farmer kept records and any rooster that didn't perform went into the soup pot and was replaced.

    That took an awful lot of his time so he bought a set of tiny bells and attached them to his roosters.

    Each bell had a different tone so John could tell from a distance which rooster was performing. Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report simply by listening to the bells.

    The farmer's favorite rooster was old Butch, a very fine specimen he was, too, but on this particular morning John noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! John went to investigate. The other roosters were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. But to Farmer John's amazement Butch had his bell in his beak so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.

    John was so proud of Butch, he entered him in the county fair and Butch became an overnight sensation among the judges.

    The result ... The judges not only awarded Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly, Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention?
