Default Has anybody seen the pokerstars\' office?

I am going fishing in CR next month.I plan on visiting Lee and co. I envision a Willy Wonkaesque operation, where Lee is Willy and the hosts are oompah-loompas. No chocolate river, obv a money pool.

Has anybody been there?

Actually, we just recently installed a chocolate river. There was a huge debate over "dark" vs. "milk". [1] Fortunately, the "dark" side won.

Okay, that's not quite exactly true. In fact:

1. Yes, I'm based on the Isle of Man.

2. Our office is in an insurance company building. But were you to walk into our office suite, you wouldn't know that we don't sell life insurance. It looks like, well, every other corporate office I've ever worked in.

3. We do have a support center in Costa Rica. Unfortunately, we don't permit tours of either office for various reasons.

P.S. One of the reasons is that we don't want to share the dark chocolate.

[1] Somebody suggested "white". We fired him and got back to the discussion. Obviously anybody who thinks that white chocolate is chocolate has no business working at PokerStars.

Dark chocolate sucks. I guess I'll go play on Full Tilt.

I hope that even if you don't like white chocolate you will swallow your pride and even be willing to be photographed eating white chocolate in public to increase your standing among that part of the population. As we both know, people who prefer white chocolate aren't exactly smart and a few more of those on my Stars-tables I wouldn't mind.

Well are you going to at least do your golden ticket promotion again to see who takes over for you? I heard when you did it 2 years ago teecoy was all set to succeed you, but sold his gobstopper to Slugworth for a bankroll, and nobody has heard from him since.

Is the doom switch located at the costa rican or the IoM offices?

I heard the switch is located under some "Lost" island and if someone doesn't continually flip this switch the world will end. Is this just a rumor?
