So that whoever hits the monster cannot be found by others looking to borrow a few bucks, or trade $60 on Stars for $50 on Party since their $8000 pay check has not cleared and their Neteller account is frozen and whatever.

Why would you not put that in your subject? You realize that's the point of the subject line?

It's to build suspense.

???? . Still don't understand this. Why is it going to be any easier to find ButtHead420, or XcVGT4563 from Springfield then USA?

I just noticed this after the recent update and have no idea why they did it. I find it very annoying. I like to see where people are from just in case I might know somebody or be from the same area. It does me no good to see location when 8 of the 10 players at the table are from USA.

I don't think I quite understand the explanation that was given regarding the Monster.

they changed it so that people would lose money more slowly making sure it circulates and gets dropped in the rake.

Before if a fish changed his name knowing the city and playing as little as 1 round you could know who they used to be.

Even if a breakeven player (I would think the breakeven or barely winning player is the optimal player from party's point of view) changed his name it wouldn't be hard to deduce who he used to be by looking at the city.

After a little datamining and playing with them, knowing the city made you close to certain who they used to be and you could play them accordingly.

It's much tougher to guess when only the county is posted.

They wanted to get rid of the people claiming to live in the beautiful city of "Not Available".
