I’m frustrated by some of the assertions being made, but not really surprised, either. I’ve stated ad nauseum that there are MILES of road to be travelled for things to be wholly acceptable with Virtual and Ace. Again, no one is endorsing them.
I’d like to set the record straight: When I first told Bryan I was going to take a stab at doing whatever possible to clean these brands up, he thought I’d lost my mind. He opted to have no part in my endeavors on this and his ONLY involvement has been in agreeing to re-open PAB’s for these brands, two years ago.
It was MY request that Bryan entertain the notion of pulling these companies from Rogue into Probation. This was NOT requested as any sort of attempt to gain a favored listing at Casinomeister. The reason behind this is that I was hoping to see a fresh discussion on the topic of these brands. By doing this, these brands would firstly, recognize that they have only begun to scratch the surface on what needs correcting and secondly, it would hold their feet to the fire. Either they’ll rise to the occasion or they won’t.
I’ve already stated this, but I suppose it bears repeating again: Whether I’m involved or not, these companies are going to continue to operate. IF it is possible to fuel their conscience’s to improve, does it not make sense to make every attempt to do so? Or just walk away and continue to let them operate as they have? If I (or anyone else) can help to make these companies straighten out, is it not worth the effort?
My goal has been the same since the first moment I agreed to become involved and that is to get players paid and see these folks do the right thing. I know my intentions are as they should be—those who know me, know this about me, as well. I don’t regret my decision to do so and I’ll continue with this until I see either a complete refusal to improve or the complete turnaround. My only regret in this was to ask Bryan to move these brands into Probation. I don’t regret my reasoning behind it, but I regret that Bryan is now suffering the attacks which should really be launched against me, if they’re to be launched at anyone.
I have the opposite view.
In order for Casinomeister (and in particular, the Rogue List) to maintain it's credibility it MUST be seen to be fair and unbiased.
Casinos CAN and do change and it is only right that they be given the chance from time to time to prove they can better themselves and get themselves off the Rogue or Not Recommended lists.
I trust CM implicitly and I know that at the end of this process he WILL make the right decision. The BEST outcome these group can expect is to be moved to the Not Recommended list - hardly a ringing endorsement to start the players flooding in!
The personal stuff about GreedyGirl is WAY out of line. I have met her in person on numerous occasions and she is a very warm, honest and sincere person. To suggest that her actions may in any way be influenced by $ is totally ludicrous.
Ah, KK…you were doing so well until the last bit of your post!
(I believe her name came from her being quite a large lady who likes good food - nothing at all to do with monetary greed)
I know it’s been a while since you’ve last seen me, but I’m literally half the woman I used to be. I’m not to the point of thin just yet (getting close, though), but I don’t believe you’ll be calling me ‘quite a large lady’ any longer.
As to the ‘greedygirl’ moniker, it was created in reaction to something a former GoneGambling member had posted about me, nearly 14 years ago. I used to have the username, ‘Debster’, but a member with a massive attitude made a comment, calling me a ‘greedy girl’ in response to the fact that I’d won a tournament, edging her out. People began calling me ‘greedygirl’ and when GG lost its database and members had to re-register, as a joke, I decided to abandon ‘Debster’ for ‘greedygirl.’ Sorry, but it has nothing to do with greed, or food for that matter.
Sorry—completely off-topic, but I AM a woman, after all and sensitive about this stuff!
