Looking for MTT and 45man staking on Full Tilt

[GreekStein]

I agree with you in principle Greekstein but this really is a minefield and having someone deciding who is worthy of staking and who isn't, is going to lead to bad blood, with accusations of nepotism etc.

With the internet being such an anonymous world, it really is difficult to know someone who is going to be honesty and someone who will grimm. I have seen people not on blonde, that seemed decent people from their posting history who grimmed people.

To be fair Fergus, AdamG and Kellster all had ropey backgrounds, which a staker could have quite easily researched and saved themself the headache of spots like this. As the saying goes "let the buyer beware".

Good points mate. However I don't think there would be that many disputes. Any member not understanding that they aren't a solid candidate for staking is going to be pretty silly. I'd never grim anyone over a single penny and I've had an instance in the past where I've been grimmed which taught me my lesson but I'd still be more than happy for the admins to decline a request of mine per se in the interests of blonde because I was relatively anonymous to the community.

It will make dodgy people think twice about attempting staking. Respectable members shouldn't have a problem.

In this instance I'm sure the administrators had stuff in their inboxes about Kellster that many potential stakers wouldn't have known. It's then not possible for him to say I've deggenned away the $30k I won two weeks ago I'm being sensible with my bankroll please stake me.

And yes Silo is most definitely too tall - and I've never even met him!

I'd like to clarify that.

I had no solid evidence at all about Kellster until last evening, & I was working from 7pm until Midnight, so it was tough to deal with it promptly. During that time, as the story broke on here, the PM's arrived. There had been none previously.

Flushy's Post - "we have  duty to say if we know anything" - hit a chord with me this morning, so I went public.

Prior to that, I only had my gut instincts to go on. Those instincts told me he was a wrong 'un.  Read this Thread, read all his stupid Posts, read his PHA when he tried to be Billy Big Dick in The Vic Cash Game & spewed off £3k. From that, we all make our own judgements. Mine was that he was a complete cock, a real-life Walter Mitty. I can't go around Posting based on gut instincts. But if anyome PM'd me, about any Staking Proposal, I'd reply openly & honestly.

If I outed every nipper & scammer I knew, I'd be toast by now!

It's all very awkward, really.

Hi Tikay,

I hope you didn't take that comment the wrong way. I'm gonna have to buy you an extra large cup-a-soup this weekend now!

What I meant was that the admins might know things and get pms about the said players which may not be common knowledge to the rest of the forum and this is how some sort of approval or flagging system might help as such.

Of course I wasn't intending to suggest you or the others kept info on this kid away from the blonde community. For want of a better way to put it, I meant that the admins more than anyone else are more in the know on members and are therefore best positioned to make the decisions on their suitability for staking.

I was hoping to save this post and write a proper 1000th as has become a semi-tradition amongst a few on here. Dream over now! At least my boss will happy...

Walter Mitty

From Times OnlineAugust 5, 2003

Profile: Who was Walter Mitty?
The Prime Minister's official spokesman has apologised today for comparing Dr David Kelly, the weapons scientist, to Walter Mitty.
by richard colwill
Walter Mitty was a meek, unassuming accountant who would daydream that he led an exciting, heroic life in order to escape his humdrum existence.

The fictional character appeared in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (1941), written by the American humorist and artist James Thurber (1894-1961).

The story was popularised in 1947 when Danny Kaye took on the role in the Hollywood film of the same name, also starring Boris Karloff and Viriginia Mayo. Steven Spielberg is expected to remake the film with Jim Carrey next year.

In Thurber's 2000-word story, which takes place over a single day, we first meet the henpecked Mr Mitty as he is driving his wife to town for a shopping trip, while dreaming that he is a Navy pilot flying through the worst storms in 20 years.

The mundane events of the day are punctuated by a series of daydreams in which Mitty also fantasises that he is a famous surgeon, notorious murderer on trial for his life and a wartime general.

In the final daydream, he faces a firing squad alone without a blindfold, enigmatically smoking a cigarette.

The character has become a subject of fascination since the story's publication, even prompting an article in a British medical journal suggesting "Walter Mitty Syndrome" might be a clinical condition that manifested itself in compulsive fantasising

Hi Cos,

No, I never took it the wrong way, but yiou raised a valid point, & so I thought I'd just clarify it. In fact, until earlier this week, I had been blonde-awol for 3 weeks, as I had some "stuff" to sort out, + some personal & health issues, so I'd never even seen the Thread until last night. I doubt if I would had said anything if I had, to be honest. I know what I woulda thought though - "buyers beware"!

See ya Sunday m8.

Why play 1 more session....why not chop it up now and return the monies to stakers............I'm sure you would be seen in a far superior light if you take the above action.
