Subject: the Acceler-8 promo[#4562352]

Hi -

This looks like a terrifc promo for many players and I applaud the idea.
You guys are coming up with some awesome ideas and I really think you are listening to your customers and giving them what they want.
I have seen the VIP program already grow by leaps and bounds in just a very short time and love the changes you are making.


Some respectful criticism though regarding my own personal target. Please take it for what it's worth because I'm just trying to offer some feedback as to how some players may be reacting to this offer.


My personal offer:
I have to earn 13005 points PER WEEK for just $525.


I'm only playing 3/6.
About 50% of the hands are raked there so this is a LOT of hands to play.

There's just NO WAY I can earn this many points.


If I had a more realistic goal I would do everything possible to try to attain this goal in EACH of the 8 weeks.

But since I can almost NEVER get the goal you have set for me there is almost no point in trying.

I think you guys are making me play way too many points for way too few dollars.

Please consider readjusting my promo.


Others are getting $175 for 2500 points per week
or $310 for 5600 points.


Please reconsider the extremely high target you have set for me in this promo.


Thanks,
Bob xxxxx

They propably stopped reading at the end of the first paragraph. Big deal

Re: Party Responds - Hilarity Ensues
 

yeah perhaps you should have placed the complaint before the compliment in your email. a more forceful tone might have helped your cause, as well. frankly i'm surprised you got it out in the first place; can't be easy typing out an email with party's cock in your ass.

Re: Party Responds - Hilarity Ensues
 

At least you got a response. Ive now sent two emails regarding the fact that I still havent gotten an offer and the thing started 5 minutes ago. Still no answer. How long ago did you send your email to them?

Re: Party Responds - Hilarity Ensues
 

this e-mail was sent around 2 or 3 om I believe.


I agree that they didn't read past the first part unfortunately.

I thought complimenting them (sucking up a little) might ad my cause but obviously it was all too complicated for them to handle.

My latest response:



Hello Party folks,

I recently sent an e-mail that was too long to be understood evidently because the response I got from Party was ridiculous.

So I will be direct and to the point this time:


If Party is unable to adjust my target for the Acceler-8-or bonus then I will not be participating in it at all.

13k points per week is ridiculously high for a player like me who only plays 3/6.

I would have to play 56 hours per week if I played 6-tables of full-ring.
I am not going to do this.

I am respectfully requesting that you readjust my bonus. I would love to continue to bring my play to your site.


I am insulted that other players have received good bonuses while I have received one that is far too unrealistic to achieve.


Thank you,
Bob xxxxxxx

But i like the 'meditation' line.

Do you have a spam blocker program? The email contained invisible text (whatever that is) and was blocked by my spam blocker. Might be worth checking.

you have to put some tracing paper over it and then gently sketch a charcoal pencil over the top to see the 'hidden message'.
