@Boricua25 If the goal of the standard is to determine “IF THEY ARE GOOD ENOUGH!” and a ghost can best that standard than the standard needs to be calibrated. A ghost literally has no skill. In Flash’s test his ghost finished at 60.9% (39/64) in a 6 max game. In a 9 max game the ghost would likely last longer since they see fewer blinds. If a player is not better than a ghost then they are “NOT GOOD ENOUGH!” As I stated earlier there are other tangible results that can be considered that can make their case much better. As @flashlight said if the standard need to be re-evaluated it will be and I thank him for taking the time to evaluate my feedback.

you are joking right?
I honestly don’t know what you mean, I do know who Chris or goatsoup was, but are you saying it should stay as it was?

Just saying, as a casual observer, things were very good, you had a great organization until the pot was tainted by a select few.
I could care less, just hate to see something that was basically the goal turn into a typical failed journey.
I am not sure how goatsoup one of the best players that ever played on this site had anything to do with what you are talking about, I had players come to my league just to play against him, I talk to him almost every week, I am sure he may have an opinion about what you said.

The whole purpose of the new criteria is to provide excellent players (with a ranking higher than 2000) an avenue to play in the Donks. It’s definitely not meant to be an easy entry.
The current criteria obviously will need fixing. I will post the new amended criteria shortly.

@will_lira I’m really not sure that is a “good look” for a player who represents Replay Poker to make such statements and assessments as you did in a forum, particularly when you are not a member of the league.

I think we are going way too far with this ghost thing, like I said if a person wants to use that strategy to get in fine, they are NOT going anywhere on the leaderboard because of the lack of skill, there will always be some kind of loophole on anything, I just don’t think this merits any consideration.
Regardless, it has been re-evaluated and posted in the Badonks Stables League results and updates forum. I think the new criteria should stand the test of time
@Grateful_ed and @Oltop Welcome to the 500 Club Well Done

Interesting experiment Lyle.
So, that’s why I took your chips so easily! (Just kidding) I didn’t know your intention then but noticed that you were MIA.
So, how did it turn out and have you made an adjustment? Inquiring minds want to know.
Ed, everyone who plays 500 games is an impressive feat…but you Ed, epitomize what a Donk should be,well done my friend…
