What wer talking about???? If you dont like it, you dont must play any freeroll from this forum:lurk5:
this is really a non issue its ndn"s forum, its his idea, its his chips!! so its 500 chips. post and play or move on lol
Ringo and Terp i find levity in both yall's longevities....I kill my self:rofl:
Yes I can make a blanket rise with no hands.
Look at it this way...The chip buy for passwords is a great practice area for your bankroll managementing on a poker site..... look at the games offered..then balance them against your chip acquisition rate ..then pick and choose the games you will play according to that..... i love choice..i love the NDN forum .I love the BAP..I love the free loser's league..I love eejit...i love the chips for passwords...mostly I love the thought process that went into creating an interesting environment for me to play and post....so i guess what I love the most is your brain NDN....when you aren't using it can I borrow it?:shock: I mean as long as we can manage this safely?:shock:
deal with that...
It seems high but realistically its a freeroll and all it costs is some of your to egt these chips :)
It would be much better to have a beggers thread where us poo' folk can ask for handouts from the millionaire chip holders since they are obviously not doing anything with all them there chips...or maybe start a 200k chip tax on all the 200k annual chip holders so that the less fortunate ones can get chip stamps and redeem them at the chip store! With some of the chip tax we could start a lottery so one lucky poor sob can play a while with the big boys. I am sure I could come up with a great hardluck story that would absolutely compel some rich chip dip to fork over...

oh yeah and by saying some rich chip dip might get u on the DL. be nice.
OMG, please dont tell me you took me serious? My tongue was so far down my cheek it was coming out my arse. Being a big fan of a double entendre and being a ne'er-do-well of the highest order I do apologize if I offended you in anyway, especially if you are a rich chip dipper.Quote:

JJ its not hard to earn chips - Look I got 44 posts and 192 chips in my account!!! In no time at all you will have a lot of chips too!!!!!!
see what u guys dont get is that the more helpful original posts that you make u will get +rep and th emore of those u get the more chips u own per post. thats what you should strive for.
well. I have liked these systems at other sites, I will be interested to see my total, I have
some thoughts to add to other threads, so I will spend 30-45 mins to post, and we will see
what happens, 500 does seem high comparatively, but, until I follow the criteria, and see
how chips are accumulated, will I be able to make judgement. I did notice original thread
creator had 49 posts, thats no freeroll hound, 49 posts is admirable, I wounder what average is?

But Glo it's important to note that every long time member has to be a new member at some point! It takes hard work and dedication but it's something newbies can definitely attain!Quote:

I know you have, I just don't want new members to see that and think it's something they'll never be good enough for. On the other hand, if they don't try to get there, maybe it's for the best anyway? I don't know I just don't want to scare anyone off or make us sound too elitist or whatever. It's not because of what you said I just don't want it interpreted wrongly.Quote:

Its got me doing something everyday...
This is true just post and play and you will be having fun in no time! E1 here is a quality player and you will learn alot by playing on this site... GLQuote:

true..very descent amount..
hey... What about the game for today?
Anybody missing something?
NDN will not post the password on the shop?
I think the password should be selled with a bigger time before, so we could buy the next game games already...
:hurray:
it ture it is a lot of work,i am one to talk of it.if been workin for the past hour or so,tpying as much as a can,my hands,eyes and mind are gettin tired.if i complete my tasks i still have to play the tourny,make dinner and do the laurdry.
i not cryin but i am,im not gonna give up but i might as well?i think 250 would be a good mark for a spot?500 seems like a lot.you askin someone to write a book and a half,and most of it is gonna be jebberist.lol.no on thereal thou,some site just gives them away and we have to many donks in the game.but like were all tryin to express,som of us hav i full day ,hard to get in the time to put the work in.
it not gonna make me quit im after you guys and ill be up there in no time,if the chicken bruns it burns.the laudry it will dry on it own,when i putmy mind to some thing.a mack truck has to hit me down.
what im saying it work guys that what they want and you know what? that what im gonna have to do,sorry.

500 chips sounds fair.. a few other fourms use this method as well..
although you should aslo be able to buy em.. (o=
good luck to everyone..
I don't think being able to buy chips would be a good idea. It seems to go against the stated intentions of the chip system. I also don't think 500 chips is too high, even though it means I rarely am able to play. It's only fair that those who contribute more get more.
How many times should i answer topic and participate to its discutions to get 500 chips ?
Why should we get chips ?

you should get chips so that we dont have like 1000 players in our freerolls.
I think its reasonable price, just have to be an active member of the forum and post once and a while....
It cuts down on password stealers for sure!!!!
Plus wat forum gives u stuff just for signing in????
It's really nice playing with such a small field and for the most part the play was much higher caliber than you see in freerolls. And I didn't see a single person say anything mean or out of line. I'm not sure I have ever played a tournament anywhere that I could say that before. Well worth the 500 chips.
Was a 6 person field last night. The FTP fields are usually higher than the Carbon/PDC fields.Quote:

Sorry I dont know how to show show a quote just yet - :)
But I wanted to ask something . It is rather hard for some of us who have busy lives outside of poker . kids / jobs / wives ect
Is there a way to earn these chips besides just posting to every board or topic ? Just wondering When I signed up a long time ago I knew you all had a spot where you could play games with your chips - Is this still n place ?
It would be nice to be able to play a private game but for some of us who dont sit here all day and respond to every post and thier reply our chips count stays in the 100-300 range ..
I suppose every place is different Just asking and wondering is all ,Thanks

very good lilred i agree with you on this one ,they must earn there chips to get in the freerolls thats why im trying my hardest to reach 500 chips ,it still may take awhile but eventually ill make it to 500 please wish me luck i really need it.
One thing that you can do is make very good post.
The reputation system is something that will reward you in chips and in little time if what you post matches up to the standards ndn have.
It's not a lot to ask for members to be active to get rewarded with a tournament and this is something NDN has been generous and kind enough to do for us.
I know many poker forums that don't have freerolls so I'd count your blessings while we do offer it.
And many other things like the BAP as well.
I totally agree with you ringo sorry i have been away guys i got a kitten and it spilled stuff all over my laptop and fried it so im in the midst of saving up my money to get a new one im actully on a friends comp but will be back soon probly end of month or so but i like the new changes and its good to see the site is bigger and better then ever woot wootQuote:
