Battle of the Forums - Idea, what mods will help?

Jurollo · #1 08-26-2006, 04:37 PM

As a lot of you probably know I like to run events from time to time and would like to run some kind of event where forums regulars choose their "home forum" and we crown a champion forum on 2+2. Any mods willing to help a little or think this would be fun? All the help I would need is coordinating within your board, I would do the majority of it.

I could see it being fun. Did you want poker-related ideas, or what?

Sort of like "King of the Zoo" or "Best of Small Stakes" only "Champion Forum of all TwoPlusTwo"?

"Champion Overall of TwoPlusTwo" - the winner could be COOT for a Quarter? Maybe members of the winning team could be coloured blue for three months?

I think the Zoo would be up for it.

Sounds fun. I'll help in any way I can.

Actually, Guruman proposed a very interesting format for a team-based poker game in SSSH. He suggested that each team consists of 3 people for a pot limit hold em game sitting opposite each other at a 6 max table. Each team shares hole cards in an AIM chat window in a full and open collusion scenario and can discuss (quickly, mind you) manners of manipulating the pot in the best way possible. The first team all of whose members go BUSTO loses.

I think that something bizarre like this would be more condusive to getting the Micro, SS, SSNL, and SSSH forums to be willing to compete with MHSH, HS, and HSNL (and really, OOT).

Wookie... Do you really believe that supporting collusion, even in a controlled manner, is a good idea?

MrWookie · #9 08-27-2006, 12:31 AM

What?! It is abundantly clear to anyone involved that this is unethical in normal play. Furthermore, it's not like this form of collusion is a revolutionary idea. Virtually everyone on these forums is aware of the possibility, so we're not planting any new ideas. How can you honestly believe that this is going to create any more colluders than are already out there? The idea of the game is to be something completely bizarre, but yet is still poker, and encourages team play.

wookie, the only question i have is where would this take place? As doing this on any poker site would risk being flagged as a colluder.
