"If only we could get some of that energy over at hoyle then Saturday nights would be like the days of old. I miss those crazy tournies"

At Steal league we have so many players that cant get into hoyle, some are mac users and some have windows vista and some just have issues with their router. If we didnt have those problems I would allow my group to join interleague and promote a relationship with hoyle. As it is the ones that are able to get in do come to synergy sat nights or at least they have in the past. I personally miss the fun at syn and also at extreme but its a rare sat night in the summertime that i can get over to play and the exox tournies are usually too late for me. Im sure some rejoice over those facts knowing my history with some people but still i usually have fun when i do get to head over. If anyone ever devises a solution you can be assured i immediately offer my group the choice.

Stuff

As someone pointed out to me in a recent mail , once the ws site is up apathy will reign and everyone will forget about the issues until the next time. I promise ya all i wont forget and will work on it.

Thanks so much to nats mummy and lisa for sharing their platinum ladderbux as needed and donating them for players without. :-)

wtf wordsteal

Man i am really frustrated with the wordsteal site and the lack of attention to server issues , room admin issues etc that go on with the site . Mark Byers , i realize , created and maintains the site on his own time and i assume he does so with funds from his own pocket but that isnt doing much for my mood when i want to get my fix lol . According to what i have read on the forums he doesnt accept donations which means he can do what he wants when he wants with the site with no one to answer to except himself.

So... What can one dumbass country redneck do about it? Well i can bitch about it on my blog for a temporary (5 minutes max) feel better fix , or i can explore the options to get people together to build a site that has people in charge that care about the game. I realize that it may be a pipe dream but i love the game and i want to be able to play night or day when i feel like it and not be subject to the whim of one person that doesnt give a rats ass who gets to play and who doesnt.

I am sure Mr Byers is a good guy and i dont want to offend him or any of his friends. I just want to play the game and its getting to the point where server freezing , boot issues and the site just not working at all have really pissed me off. What i am trying to do here is get some dialogue going and get feedback on the possibilities of a player owned wordox/wordsteal site. If you have ideas for getting people together , raising funds for this project or any other feedback please respond to me by on this site or by email or messenger .... perrin1967@yahoo.com

Thanks everyone for your time

steal

For the person who left the comment about Bambi, yes she will be a good admin. As far as her getting to use the steal site admin tools, Mark Byers is not responding to any requests from the admins in any of the rooms ,french, german etc so i do not know when her and sneaks will get the (A)

vacation etc

My mini -vacation at Holiday World was a blast. I highly recommend it especially the waterpark. It was a total blast. The park is very clean and well run with all the free soft drinks and sunscreen you want.

Thanks to everyone for making the Steal Leagues first year a great success. I wish i had answers for everyone on why the server continues to screw up and why wont mark byers respond to questions etc. I promise that if i hit the lottery i will hire a programmer and set up a site and do it right ;-)

When the site is up come in and try us out, we are doing well over a 100 matches a day with plenty of people willing to ladder between tourneys. The top ten is very active and if you work your way up you are guaranteed a shot at the #1 spot in a ladder set no matter who has the belt.
Our players and staff are ready to rumble so bring it on!

cya at the tables sometime when the site cooperates ;-)
