However we play, we should be anon

Hi Maniac, PM me your email.

We're playing through pokerstars, so you can pick whatever name you want.

Just to be clear, dates and all are yet to be decided right? I received the info I need but can't actually download now.

Are you old enough Steephie? What is the gambling age in your country?

that's right steephie. TBD.

I don't think I'm old enough for gambling Draugnar, pretty sure actually... But does it count as gambling if I don't invest anything at all? I mean, isn't it juridically just an online game with freebees if you win this way?

I have played PKR for a long time for free, if that's what you mean. Or did I miss something? Is money invested after all?

Signing up for the site is where your trouble may lie. See some.gaming, whipe not gambling cause it isn't for money, can stil be considered contributing to the delinquency of a minor if the same game is regularly played for money.

So you think I shouldn't do it? Wouldn't I just be fine with a different birth date?

filling in a different birth date*, naturally I suppose, but still :P

I'm interested, but I'm not really available to play for the next few weeks.
I'll give you my e-mail YJ as you never know, I might find the time, and also I'd want to know about any future mini tournaments you organise.
Assuming you're compiling a mailing list of some sort, add me to it please. But for the time being I'm an unlikely.

Not if they validate the birthdate claim somehow. US gaming sites take this stuff very seriously, even the free ones, as they are trying to get internet poker legitimized so they can start running cash sites.

So do I risk anything other than a blocked account or something, Draugnar? Because then it isn't really a risk since I don't have an account otherwise.

Well, you are out of their hursidiction, so probably not, unless the Dutch government prosecutes you for attempted fraud (like using a fake ID, the worst that normally happens is the shop keeper or bartender keeps/destroys the ID, but if a cop gets involved...)

The real question is, could they do something to one of us for "contributing to the delinquency of a minor". If your father set it up for you under his name and gave you permission, then we, the webdip community, are safe.

Lol, didn't have a clue that a game of free online poker could be taken so serious by any authorities...

Is just having my father's permission good enough? Because I have it. I don't think he cares enough to "set it up for me" though, I barely care enough to ask him, and he cares even less no doubt.

Hmmm.. Sounds like you need to work on your relationship with your father. Go lie down on a couch and tell me all about it.

Steephie if its a problem let me know, I have a pokerstars account I haven't used for years, it has zero in it (obviously) I'll let you use it once then change password so you can't be tempted to be morally corrupted

Due to lack of interest, I'll be cancelling this tournament. Thanks to those who signed up.

How many did you get? I never PM'ed you my email....sorry.

Because while I share big hugs with you and all that...I'm a bit a'scared to give you my email!!!! L\:)

Draugnar, I can't tell if you're serious, but basically I think he's stupid and he thinks I'm a genius who is doing dumb things all the time (like not spending enough time on school stuff because I only get 7s on average, and if I get a bad grade I'll go through the stuff again until I get it. Basically I don't give a beep about grades as long as I can pass in every single way (with extra stuff) and get everything at the end of the year and he fails to understand that that is the best result that is in any way useful), which is part of the reason I think he's stupid; it doesn't add up, it never does. He doesn't have a clue what I believe and all and it's not a problem IMO. If he ignores me I return the favour and we still love eachother. Just no way to have a serious and sensible talk with him in most cases. Fine by me. We're also pretty far apart politically, when it comes to future plans, logic and arguing (I actually argue, he says 'because I say so!' and 'because that's what you're supposed to do!'). So all I do with him usually is have a laugh, take a walk and give him advice when he's desperate enough to listen. Oh, and dinner. And he does stuff for me and I do stuff for him. He's just set in his ways, so where I agree with him we're good and where I don't I don't mention it. Again, fine by me as long as he doesn't get in the way too much.

This has little to do with poker though.

I kind of figured the tournament wouldn't work out so that's why I didn't bother to ask.

Accidently pressed post reply on mobile.

hey krellin I think there were only 4 who actually joined the club, including me, so that's just not really enough interest to make it worthwhile. No troubles for those who didn't want to go through with it. I can always play for money online when the craving gets bad again.

I wouldn't give me your email if I were you either :)

I'd join but I haven't even had real time to download the UI and with my current workload and school starting, the last thing I want to do right now is get distracted. :-)

Too bad, draug, you would have loved the little RC helicopter I was going to send you :)

Aww... Surely we can pull it off now we know what's on the line? :P

well, nobody new petitioned to join the club, so nope, I'm afraid it's just not worth it with only 4 of us.

:(

So does that mean you're keeping the RC helicopter? :)
