A lesson: If you have access to hole cards don't play like these people and you will make millions. [/ QUOTE ] Yes. This is in my view one of the most significant aspects of this whole story. Anyone who manages to get access to a superuser account and bypass a site's security system, if they had half a brain, could win millions of dollars in undetectable cheating. I can only hope that the major sites have stringent security measures at their end to ensure superuser accounts are not accessible to anyone without supervision, that logs are created every time a superuser account is activated and that people are paid to examine those logs etc. I guess on those sorts of matters there's nothing more that can be done other than crossing our fingers... By the way, I'm all for an anti-ancap crusade because I think that crew is delusional, but 1) you wouldn't be the first, and 2) it's futile because they're delusional. |

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, should have replaced "intelligent" with "educated, somewhat". What it really comes down to is that they have no problem with (white-owned) corporations pillaging the land and humanity in pursuit of the almighty dollar, but they'll be damned if they give a dime towards social services (that poor/brown people use). |

[ QUOTE ] Absolute is not "getting away" with anything if the "informed market" has appropriately discounted the risk of cheating and decided to play there anyway. You are free to exercise your choice NOT to play there, if you want the POLICE to ban everyone else, how are you better than Focis on Family ? [/ QUOTE ] Wow. this is one confused freshman. Econ 102 head asplodes. But you still haven't answered the question, Andathar, How are you any better that Focis on the Family? Are you ascared to answer the question? Do you refuse to debate? Is this some sort of cover up? |

Re: OFFICIAL share your views THREAD
Let's see, most likely possibility:
-Adanthar is part of some weird reverse coverup attempting to bring down Absolute Poker at all costs and thereby commit the greater crime of restricting the free market, and this scandal was merely his means of doing so Or -comparing Adanthar to Focus on the Family is so bat [censored] insane, and obviously so, that it doesn't merit a response |
