While I appreciate your interest in playing, I would also appreciate if you would consider how other people might feel about it.
Our blinds are 10/20. If we were to allow you to buy-in with 100 chips, you would have five big blinds. That is an extremely short stack. When you consider that at this time of the day there aren't many people in the game, it's an even shorter stack since you'll be a blind nearly every hand.
While this might be fine for you, it won't be for other players. No one wants to play someone who goes all-in every hand (which is basically what you'd have to do with 100 starting chips). It ruins the quality of the game.
No one is afraid of the competition - I am certain that everyone welcomes as much competition as possible.
For the record, I never went "back on my word" about this. I had the limits lowered during the test phase (which we are still in) and I found that those limits simply weren't feasible.
It doesn't take more than a few quality posts to earn enough chips to play, so I am not sure why this even a big deal to begin with.
Please be mindful of the other players and not just yourself.
Thanks,
NDN
