Topiary?

Hollandaise sauce?

Tracings?

Shipped £300 buddy. Anymore let me know.

I do have a concern though which I'm sure is shared by most of the other staker-holders. Thus far there has been very little talk, if any, about ripping new arseholes?? I do hope you are merely saving your game face for vegas and there will be some kind of trigger that makes you want to make colanders out of posteriors. If not I think it's best to be up front, clear and honest in your staking requests, especially when you're selling at this kind of mark-up.

Confirmed, £300 RECEIVED.

Ripping new arseholes? What, you expect that at spot? Good luck with that. I charge at least 1.3 for RNA.

[tikay]

If you could put me on a reserve list for 1% that would be grand tikay. No harm done if i dont get a piece.


Cheers good luck in Vegas and hopfully see you out there at some point to introduce myself. I will just keep looking in starbucks right?

Hi Bubble.

Yes, 1% added to reserve list.

Not quite sure where we are at the mo, once we know what has been sold, it may be possible to release a few more per cent.

My question was addressed to Tikay or Vince, and was asked in all innocence, as this is the only staking I have ever been involved in. Sorry if others ITT felt the need to jump on it.

Could one of the named above confirm £100 is ok or shall I just stick to £65? FWIW, I looked at the spreadsheet before asking and it stated by my name 'between 1% and 5%.

I honestly thought rounding it up would be easier but I will be happy with either.

Regards,

Alan

It's all with good intent Alan, with added smileys.

Yes, £100 is abso fine, thank you, as Mere has explained in his dull & droll way, the way it works it all gets sorted in the end, & your original request was for "between 1% & 5%", & I promised to honour all previous requests.   

You have £100 BOOKED.

I'll send my Bank Deets across momentarily. Payment can be any time before next Sunday, 25th May, no rush.

Driving home late last night i had talksport on the radio and they did a live interview from Australia with Tony Kendall, head of the Melbourne Arsenal supporters club.

[EvilPie]

If I buy a piece of this do I actually have to send any money?

[EvilPie]

Put me down for £200 if there's any available please. I'll decide whether to send any money after I see how well you're doing.

Lol, nothing would give me more pleasure than losing £200 of your money.

We seem to be betting seriously oversold, but bear with me whilst I go have a think.

For now, after Bubble's 1%, you are next on the Reserve List.

I'll see if I can find a way to get you on board & lose your £200.

I've seen at least 3 occasions where you've said this has 'SOLD OUT'.

If my sympathetic gesture of faith in your poker abilities ends up costing me 200 quid you'll be hearing from my legal people!

 Your package...it doesn't seem too clear if it includes any bonus tournaments that you may or may not play.

Morning Mr C.

What is a "bonus tournament"?

Anyway, I don't know the answer, so I must refer you to the Stewards, in this case, Mr Merespready, who is Stake Arbiter, Referee, & General Grumpy bloke.

Like if you happen to ladder play well and earn a few dollars, whether you might invest your new-found fortune in another comp.

"After winning three comps and two bracelets, I've decided my luck is in, so we are going to spin it up with a go at the One Drop.Who's with me?"

Your package...it doesn't seem too clear if it includes any bonus tournaments that you may or may not play.

I just had a look at Mere's "Terms & Conditions", & I think your question is covered by this?


tikay has published the schedule but it will almost certainly change (within limits).  It's possible (although I think we can all agree that it's unlikely) that tikay might make day 2 of some events which may require a rejig of the schedule, for example.
Last year tikay effectively free-rolled some people as it was impossible to get confirmation of whether they wished to be involved before the events. This wasn't fair on people who explicitly committed money before the additional events.
Any money invested this year will be converted into a % of the final package.
I will ensure that no liberties are taken - i.e. that the final package is within 20% of the proposed schedule above. If tikay enters the "One Drop" then it won't be included in this schedule.

I believe that Mr. Channing was pulling your leg.
He may have been alluding to an infamous Facebook staking "thread" that, I believe, offered the tantalising hope of some "bonus tournaments" to sweeten the deal.
If you decide to charge 1.3 in future you may wish to consider it.
