It was at CAP last weekend. Being that I was one of the few active participants in the thread, if you want to get the correct facts, then hit me up and I'll give you all of the juicy details.
I've got it now.
@ everyone
Let me make a few clarifying statements here because I think there are some misconceptions floating around about what Casinomeister is...and isn't.
Casinomeister is a player
AND casino advocate and information site. I am not and never have been solely focused on "the player" - the focus has been on the industry - the player being a good 60% of it. This is one of the reasons I have attended each and every conference as either "press" or "speaker" or both. I provide information.
The information provided is for everyone - this is why there are
two newsletters - one with general good to know info for everyone (Meister Mail) and one for industry folk (Meister Blatt). It's been this way for some time now. If you didn't know this, then you are out of touch with what Casinomeister is.
In this thread that has been hidden away at CAP, I came under attack for starting some "affiliate project" which the Professor and others feel is competitive in nature. That is a load of hogwash.
There is a Webmaster section in
this forum that is as old as CAP. Recently, I set up private forums for the affiliate programs that are represented by the
Accredited Casinos at Casinomeister. It's open for registered webmasters of this forum and for the casino reps. That's it.
There is
no certification - there is
no charge. And the membership is limited, so how is this competition?
And the last thing I want to do is organize some event. The London Meister Meeting is it. I'll book the bar and the musicians...that's about as far as I'll go.
Warning - analogy follows:
Let's say CAP had a beer stand and sold beer for $4 a glass
to anyone and included with it a guarantee of 100% beer satisfaction (the certificate), and I'm across the street giving away
free beer to my friends - with no guarantee at all...that's not competition. That's "free beer".
Also - I was not at CAP London. I attended the awards dinner, and the next day I hung out in the Novotel hotel lobby/bar
for about an hour in order to meet Simmo and Spearmaster (who were staying there) for our Bath excursion. We left promptly at around 12.
I am not going after anyone with "ferocity", I'm not changing "plans" or directions, I'm not roguing people or things, I'm not trying to get a piece of "the pie"... I'm just doing what I do.
@ Lou - you need to PM me a new email address so I can update your profile. Thanks!
