I sent an email too, but haven't had any reply yet. I'm 7/7 with the assasina-8-tor promotion and need 4889 points between today and tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll have to 10 table all day to make it.

My email...

Party VIP,

I am trying to log in to get my hands/points in for the Accelerator Program.
As you see I have made all 7 weeks and planned on finishing tonight. I
won't be able to play much tomorrow. I will be very dissapointed in an
otherwise nice promo if I don't get credit for completeing all 8 weeks due
to an issue on your side. Can you let me know what changes you will make
for this weeks requirements?


Party response about 15 minutes later....

I love how personal and intimate their customer care is.

Re: *OFFICIAL* If I don\'t get my 8 week bonus, I will kill someone thread
 

At least it is quick. I didn't expect much just wanted a record with them that I was trying to play.

They had an issue early in the promo and I think they chopped off 25%.

Re: *OFFICIAL* If I don\'t get my 8 week bonus, I will kill someone thread
 

even if they lowered the target by 25% it would be impossible for me to make the target if I can't login tomorrow.

Re: *OFFICIAL* If I don\'t get my 8 week bonus, I will kill someone thr
 

I wrote party, got the same response you all got. I need like 2600 points, which is nearly 12 hrs of 8 tabling my game (NL100 6max). Had planned on doing 6+ hrs tonight, fun times.

Another 7/7 here, just sent my second email explaining that I missed about 2000 hands that I needed. It won't be a huge inconvenience as long as it's up all day tomorrow...still hope to get it lowered though.

I'm about 1200 points away. If they don't lower the goals again I will never play on Party again.

They won't miss you or you will play on party again

This is a bizzare decision on Party's part.

They promoted people to higher point accumulation rates during this week anyway, so they're already giving away a lot of bonuses for limited play--I cleared mine in a day. That was a pretty long service outage, and it doesn't seem like it should be worth it to them to alienate a lot of their highest revenue players over it.

It's even weirder when you see how much money they gave away to the MTT people over the outage. Leave it to Party to take a promotion where they gave away a ton of money and turn it into a thing that leaves a bad taste in people's mouths.

Party may be basing this "decision" in part due to the "unexpected" change in status that accurred several days ealier then I think any of us anticipated...The benefit of this status for most should outweigh the loss of playing time...I do think Party should a may still do something for those that are effected by this down time on an individual basis..

It would have made so much more sense to hold off on promoting players until the 8th, which I think everyone would have understood. Distorting the bonus for many participants and then refusing to lower the quota after an unprecedentedly long service outage is just horrible business.
