Its best not to post comments like that, regardless of what you say after them. NDN is very generous, and i think if you take a look around and see all the differect things being offered, i dont think you'd be too upset about the amount of chips you need. Besides, its more of a reward for frequenters to the site, as opposed to one for random ppl lookin for freerolls.
If you stick around, and make some quality posts, 500 chips'll be nothin.

500 chips in the old monetary system was equal to about $2.50. Sites like FullTilt have much the same reward structure for comparably the same amount of buy-in so it's not really that expensive! And 4 or 5 quality posts here can earn you those chips in no time.
Try to post some nice quality big posts and after 20 posts (35 min of work) u might have the 500 chips.
I think 500 is ok, but 400 would be easier for new members.

It's remarkable that you have rep and in tier 2.
Some members have 5 times your posts and are not repped.
Instead of complaining about your lack of ability to post for chips, maybe you ought to spend your energies on figuring out how to get involved.
You are the classic example of why NDN changed the system.
Have fun reading
I know I do.
I don't think that is bad at all just wish I hadn't cashed in most of my chips before, now I have to wait to play until I build them back up.

He got repped for an excellent post, which i believe we both repped.
And Its an opinion, Its been read, but i doubt it will change.
Its about 5 good posts for 500 chips.
yeah 500 chips is not too steep a price .and to play every game this month you would need between 15 and 20 k in chips so roughly according to the monetary system NDN had here its about 100 bucks worth of posts for a shot at 1850 dollars in tourney prize money.and someone really dedicated (like navuta lol) should have no prob getting 500 per day.like eejit said about 5 good posts a day.
just stay away from neg rep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will never deduct chips for expressing your opinion (as long as it's done respectfully).Quote:

Just wanted to state my opinion about the Difference between the "$25.00 freeroll" cost @ 500 chips the "$200 Sunday Freeroll" @ 1000 Chips and "Monthly $500 Freeroll" @ 2000 Chips.
I was not questioning How many posts it takes or how many chips it takes to buy-in.
Sorry about the confusion!!

The idea is to reward members who post regularly with a bigger game, but allow people who wont to play games too. But reward the longetivity

That's over $300 NDN is tossing in just for posting on NDN forum.
You will never find a better deal.
I'm always impressing my wife with my longevity.Quote:

The chip amounts are subject to change.
Consider this month a "test" month.
The amounts may go up or down based strictly on how many players enter each game.
The goal is to ensure each game is of high value (meaning a low field).
no prob cubz i just didnt realise you meant it as compared to the cost of the other games .the bigger games are the better deal cost wise but they only happen once a week.but the 25 dollar games give you a good chance of cashing less than 10 ppl pays 2 or 3.and as NDN said this is a test lolQuote:

Cant wait for the Full Tilt heads up tourney tonight ! It'll be my first first NDN game since the revolutionary changes. Go figure HU is the worst part of my game :-p. Hope to see u all there.

Well I sure got a lot of good replies
I agree. The bigger nights are the ones to play if your chips count is down and not in the high 1000s.
Like I said on a post earlier.
If you don't have enough to play one of the lower freerolls, you can miss a day and play the next one.
There's a game everyday this month so there will be plenty of oppourtunities my friend.
I think the $200 freeroll is going to be one you really want to hang on to chips too.
And ndn is awesome by doing this for us and only asking us to post and have good communication and points on the forum.
And if you log in every day you get chips for that, so make sure you do so.Quote:

I think it's pretty fair. It seems like the regulars here really know each other, but take the time to welcome newbies that take the time to play by the rules.......
At first I thought that 500 points seemed high, but after a few posts I'm already racking up chips, so I can see how it can be easy. And what's the alternative?
A "private" game where half the people are sitting out, and the other half are all in every hand.
I like the point system, I wasn't here for the old system, but I guess you kind of have to view your points like your bankroll though, you don't want to blow them all for one tourney.
sry maybe i m stupid, but r we talk about raked hands, or about what?
We are talking about the chips you get on this forum for making posts.
If you get to 500 chips, you can enter a $25 freeroll on one of the days we have them.
Please click the "NDNPT" button at the top of the forum
actually noone is forcing you to buy your chips for the freeroll game , it will be your own decision if you want to spend them andd play the freeroll or wait for another game that you like. And besides if the 500 chips to play the freeroll is really too much then you wont just be the only one complaining here if that happens but it seems omlike your the only one complaining about it. maybe the ratio of 500 chips for a $25 freeroll isnt that bad after all and maybe good. Well i guess members with just a few chips like us must wait and must posts a lot more ....lolQuote:

i waould really like to know your reasoning to lower the chips.
ya that dont seem that bad but how long will it take befor u start earning chips for posting

as the manager told me I do not think there are so many 500 chips....... I think it is very good!:).....This forum is great!:seeya:
I think 500 chips are enough for a 25$ freeroll
And I think this is a good answer! :)Quote:

ok buggy you are right and of course im always wrong,but ill keep posting and save my chippys for the big one.:cheers2:
go go for the 500chips
