IMPORTANT - Changes at the blonde Cardroom.

[The Sweeney]

A quick update on where we are.

It's a bit of a shock to find we are being courted by so many organisatiions - 5 or 6 at the last count, & Rich is talking to an additional interested party today. We have not approached anyone, they have all come to us.

The proposals on the Table cover the full spectrum - another blonde "skin" (not on i-Poker), Super-Affiliate Site (the THM model as it were), plain multi-affiliate, & Forum only.

The preference - naturally - is a model that safeguards the jobs of Rich & Kev.

We should have a better feel for our way forward very soon.

The almost wholly constructive feedback on here has been wonderful, thank you.

And, again, a big up to my friends in the Industry, who have been so supportive.

We also have two aces up our sleeve - two industry individuals have told me many times, "if blonde ever gets in a hole, talk to me, I'd support it". We shall see - that would be last-chance saloon.

How do these differ?

[TightEnd]

Super affiliate would be ONE partner, possibly exclusive (ie no other sponsors,partners)

Multi-affiliate...affiliate deals with a number of partners

[h]

So better to withdraw now or later - or simply no difference?

No difference as to fines

Obv prefer everyone to play as much as possible in the next few months, and not withdraw....but realistic that until people know what's going on there will be uncertainty

i dont think there is a non whinge thread so:
requested withdrawl of some funds and its gone through already
ty i poker / blonde

I wonder if the people at pokeintheeye have ever read George Orwell's book, 'Animal Farm'?

Just a brief Update, & for reasons of delicacy - & that "time & place" thing again, not too much detail.

But we've been a bit non-plussed by the amount of interest shown in blonde, &/or it's Card-Room.

Let's be right, it's not - except, perhaps, in one case - because anyone likes (or even dislikes) us, it's a commercial thing, & there's some low-hanging fruit.

We are now up to no less than 6 suitors, all of whom made the first move, & contacted us.

Two arrived on the scene quite late, one as recently as 3 or 4 days ago, & Tighty is trying to jiggle all the paperwork & stuff, & there are more NDA's flying about than I've seen in years.

One has moved their proposals to "offer" stage, so Tighty has a right bit of plate-spinning to cope with.

I think we'll know where we are before Christmas.

But we never expected this level of interest, & more pertinently, from which quarters it would arrive. I'm shocked, amazed, & very pleased.

I just want the place to settle down securely. And it might just.

Every half hour you would see Prew Diddy and Compton Kev trying to fix the machine in the background.

There have been some unexpected developments in this matter, & I will outline then now, in a series of 4 or 5 Posts.

I am speaking on behalf of the major, acting, Shareholders, who carry the responsibility, Rich, as Company CEO, & Kev, as Card-Room Manager.

Any questions, just ask, & between us, we will answer them all, cleanly.
