Uniformity of Rules

Yes. I know this conversation has been on before, and it has now come up again in a different thread. To recap on the conversation so far check out
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=409.msg9539#msg9539
and also
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=887.0
the second of which is a thread that got off topic.
However as Ironside originally said and I copied word for word from memory, this is something that needs setting up.
As an ever expanding community blondepoker could reach out to help set this up. I'm sure Tikay will help out, and there is a small band of Card room personnel out there willing to try to sort this out. We don't want to do it ourselves and force them onto you, the players. Speaking for the people I have spoken to already we are happy to meet up together with you all and try to thrash this out.
Maybe it will take the setting up of a players group to push this towards reluctant casinos. I'm sure if they didn't get players because they werent using a countrywide standard they would soon change to it.
Things could be spread along through the forum, then fine tuned at a meeting. Distributed to players and feed back given, then implemented.
I know it has been discussed but now is the time for serious discussion on this matter. Everyone wants it but noone seems to want to do anything about it. Hopefully a few of you Blondites out there will be up for this.

This is all very well in principle, but I don't see how you will ensure that reluctant casino groups will adopt the new set of rules. I, like yourself (or was it ifm?) am well aware of how defensive some people can be about their rules (see Gollum in LOTR for reference material).
The only way I can think of (and it is early in the morning, so the brain has yet to reach optimum operational temperature - needs more coffee), is to get the rules to be included in the Rules and Practices document issued by the British Casino Association (BCA)... this would have the advantage of being a body that already represents the vast majority of casinos in the country.
This still leaves the problem of who comes up with the rules in the first place...

getting the casinos to adopt the rules is easy as 123
1 you invite the casino to send a rep to the meeting
2 you invite the gaming commision to the said meeting
3 you make sure the gaming commision push the rules thru and the casino have to follow

blonde would be happy to help.
Everyone has views on the issue, but we can't all be on the committee.
I have more than enough on my plate, but I'd be willing to help if need be.
I think Yogi's point is "we talk about it a lot, but nothing happens". Fair point.
I don't have the standing, or expereince, in poker, to put my name forward as any sort of "driver", but I'm happy to help if need be.
So, where, when, & who?
Let me have a think about how we get this wagon rolling. It really is badly needed. I am just off a plane from Vegas, so give me a day or two to get my head in gear.
My biggest fear is that some commercial animal with a financial angle will try & hijack this. We need to be careful.
I will come up with some sort of proposal within the next few days, if nobody else does. I have campigned for this relentlessly, so I'd really like it to get off the ground.

The task isn't that difficult as we really just need to identify the inconsistencies and omissions, debate these and amend an existing set. My top 3 are:
Betting out of turn
Showing cards when action is still to take place (there must be some discretion to allow the referee to consider intent)
The bizarre moody rule

I think those would come in most peoples top 3.
I think they are mine.
Where? Somewhere Central
When? Sometime soon
Who? Very good question that one. Both operators and players, a good cross section of the people who take part, from both sides. Maybe even a compliance man or 2. Unless we wanna break the law. They could even help maybe changing the law. The Gaming Board or Comission. They would help give the rules credibility, for any operators who declined their invitation to the meeting.
It does need a driving force behind it. Who?? Someone with the get up and go to get it done.

The one thing I would love to see changed is the top heavy play structure which leads to so many chopped deals. If the game is ever to get any real creditabilty then tournaments should be played out (especially the ranking events) but this is never going to happen whilst the % differences are so big.

Would it be possible to appoint a player's liason officer who could then approach the Gaming Board directly ?
If we could all agree on what changes we need, the liaison officer would be our representative.

So do I.
Oh well not too worry. At least the thread is still here.
Not only did the posts go but the amount of posts i have made has diminished too.

Yes, I am really sorry about that Guys, I have explained & apologised on another thread about what happened, why, & why I have decided not to try & restore the missing stuff. A real shame, but I just don't wanna risk the site going down again.
Of the missing posts, I clearly recall posting that Karabiner's "Liasion Officer" was EXACTLY the right approach.

The idea is that the players elect a "liaison officer" who is the player's representative.
The players make a list of changes that they would like to see introduced.
The Liaison Officer is then empowered to discuss/negotiate with cardrooms and the Gaming Board on the player's behalf.
I believe that a player's organisation would need to be put in place first,
And then they would have to elect the Liaison Officer.
Those are my embryonic thoughts anyhow.
