i want to start by thanking 2+2 for allowing this to happen with no yelling at me. this is NOT a 2+2 sanctioned effort, it is an effort of the posters. so while i must post the disclaimer, i am also thanking them and the rest of the Zoo for allowing this clutter. this will be the last thread needed because it will all move to private email now.

ok, disclaimer done, poststart...

hiya folks.

OK, this is still not my mooooshy thanks to all post, but THANKS TO ALL! (especially the green guy of course)

it is now time to proceed to next step.

i need everyone on the below list to send an email to
WSOPGRANNY@aol.com

please send *only* what i am asking for below. any questions or comments should be raised via PM or in this thread.

if you are on the list below, and i do not get an email from you within a week or so, i will try and find you. if i can't, then your share will not be official.

before i show you an example email, i want all investors to know a few things.

1. no other investor will see your real name, only me.

2. once i have everyone's email, i will send a response back to all that will explain fully how this will work WHEN i win it. this first email establishes ownership. the email i send back will explain how the taxes will be handled and all other miscellaneous ends that need to be tied up.

3. please do not share any of the information i send you on the open forum. my identity will be revealed to investors before the tourney, but please do not post anything until i am in the money. remember that there are a ton of granny-trolls and let's not feed them until we have to.

4. i want to thank a ton of people and will in the emails, but a special thanks to JeromeBaker for something. he is showing as 1 share below, but he bought 2 and gave me 1. wooo, TY. remember investors... TOKE YOUR GRANNY if she wins. i am taking no play premium and am not too proud to accept tips come payday. because of the amazing response, i am playing for BARELY more than some investors. so, when the $8 million is distributed to you, keep that in mind. standard backing deals give a ton to the player. i get no more for my investment than any of you guys because i wanted this to be a real partnership. SO TIP YOUR DAMN PARTNER WHEN "IT" WINS!!


5. there are a 8 of you on the list that still owe me a party or stars xfer. whenever you are ready, send away so i can close the books

6. thanks TRUEPOKER. much more on this later, but david has also given me a travel allowance for the flight. therefore, my expenses will be minimal. i'll probably go ahead and fly "up front" as a reward to myself and make this a "proper" dream come true. TRUE has been awesome, and i'll be happy to end pokerstars' streak with a 3-d GRANNY.

wooooo



everything else that is relevant will be explained with the return email i send.

here is what all investors need to send to
WSOPGRANNY@aol.com

please do not vary at all from this template example.

==================================
<your info goes in <....>
++++++++++++++
to: WSOPGRANNY@aol.com
from: youremail@emailaddythatYouWantToGetMailBack

subject: <insert *EXACT* name shown on below list> (X shares)
(example for a perfect subject line)
subject: Aamaz0n (2 shares)

body:

my real name is <.....>

i am staking claim to X shares of Granny

i agree that each share represents $40 that i paid toward a partnership for 2+2 poster GrannyMae's $10,000 wsop seat.

i agree that i am responsible for my own taxes

electronically signed and agreed on <insert date>

+++++++++++++++++++++++


that's it.

that is all i need for now.

this will get the email contact started. as i get these emails i will mark you as having made contact. once all investors make contact, i will send everyone an email at same addy that explains how the taxes will be handled.

First of all before I ask what you undoubtedly will think is a prick question Granny, let me sincerely wish you and your backers the best of luck and skill in the WSOP.

My question is this: why do you need a backer at all considering all the money you have made from 1) playing poker, 2) bonus whoring, and 3) being a paradise affiliate which you have seemingly subtlely but in reality shamelessly spammed in these forums by having other posters post your bonus codes each month?

first of all, whether i am a millionaire or poor is none of anyones business so i will not answer anything that relates to my earnings.

second, i do NOT need a backer. i did not ask for it, but happily accepted it to have fun with fellow posters.

if i wanted/needed a backer, i would be playing for a percentage of the win but not putting up a dime.

i hope that answered your question

btw, this is a personal attack.

i have never in my life had anyone post my code. you mention something about codes, plural, so obviously you are just looking to troll. i don't have code(s) and i suspect that if a person like you were in my shoes, this place would be full of an incredible amount of spam.

my participation in these forums are never discussions about my code. of my 8,000+ posts, 6,000 of them were made with me not being an affiliate anywhere. when a poster comes through and asks about my code because he sees it in a paid banner, i do not even enter the thread.

do not resort to personal attacks. that is not allowed here. you have posted an outright lie. why? i have no clue. but watch what you say. post facts, or stfu.

have a happy day

3) being a paradise affiliate which you have seemingly subtlely but in reality shamelessly spammed in these forums by having other posters post your bonus codes each month?

I know this is hijacking the thread but this pisses me off and I wasnt even the attackee. Many people, granny and others pay a significant amount of money every month so that YOU, the user/visitor can have a free 2+2 experience. I dont have any idea how much granny spends at 2+2, honestly other then a passing hello PM I dont know much about granny at all. What I do know about granny is that they spend more money then many of you make in a month just in advertising at 2+2 (as do many others) and to accuse and attack someone who supports 2+2 in a financial way the way they do is sad.

I hope noone tries to attack me for this, I also support this forum with a sizable donation every month. I was attacked by a sleazy (in my opinion) poker room shill a few months ago, one we have not heard from since after I put him in his place. The attack I got was unprovoked and IMO disgusting considering the amount of advertising my website has spent here in 2005 (and before). This makes posts like this turn my stomach.

Remember without advertisers like this you would have to pay for this forum, if it would even exist at all. I am sure most have no idea the amount of resources 2+2 must use to store the archives and the bandwidth needed to serve it. They could never do this without the advertisers. To accuse those who are giving you a free ride of being a spammer is just plain wrong, just as wrong as your accusation.

I haven't bought a share, so of course you have no reason to pay any attention to this post and I realize some may consider it 'butting in.'

Unlike the detractors, I've thought all along that this was a fun idea that would generate good feelings on the part of all participants, regardless of the outcome in the tournament itself.

But, I think things crossed a line with this:

[ QUOTE ]
TOKE YOUR GRANNY if she wins. i am taking no play premium and am not too proud to accept tips come payday.

[/ QUOTE ]

Of course you're not taking a play premium. That's because no one is backing you because of your poker ability. For all I know, you could be a great poker player. But let's face it, people are backing you because they like you. Not because they think you're a particularly worthy horse. Yes, "standard backing deals give a ton to the player," but no one thinks this is a "standard backing deal," significantly motivated by any of the factors that motivate standard backing deals.

Your 'play premium' is the ability to play. You're correct when you say that based on the math, you're not getting any explicit financial premium. But, (seemingly apocryphal claims that you easily could have gotten a 100% backer aside) the point of all this is that the arrangement allows you to enjoy the experience of playing in the WSOP, and it allows the shareholders some excitement--like a lottery ticket.

I do doubt your claim that you could have found a 100% backer, and played without putting up a penny of your own money. But even if you could have, and you're allowing the Zoo to back you despite it being less financially advantageous than the available alternative, then you clearly must be getting somethign else out of the deal. Even if it's only "the fun of being involved in a community-driven venture," it's still valuable to you.

Granny, don't get me wrong. I like you, and I think this whole thing is a great idea, and will benefit all involved. But something just rubbed me the wrong way about your insinuating that you would deserve a toke.

Best of luck in the main event.

Uglyowl
05-29-2005, 01:51 PM
If Granny wins the whole friggen thing I think a little something something is in order for the great performance. It was said in a pretty light hearted way also (and you are not involved) so why bother taking the time to write that much.

05-29-2005, 02:29 PM

05-29-2005, 02:55 PM
IMHO, any tokes are up to each individual investor. As for me, I'm gonna toke the old bat when I make money. If the unthinkable happens and the old bat doesn't cash? I'll stalk the old bat from site to site until (s)he gives up online poker. /images/graemlins/grin.gif Seriosly, if you want to toke, then toke, if not, then don't. The old bat wins a bundle and it'll be my biggest toke ever. I hope it's my biggest toke ever!!!!!!!!!!

i have not even read his post in its entirety so i won't respond to whatever else was raised..

ok folks, i need some help.

because of the overwhelming support here, i am left with only 16% of myself. for those of you that i have known a while AND have more than 1 or 2 shares, and are willing to sell me any share(s), please post here and i will PM you on how we adjust this. i want to play for at least 20% and to get to that, i need 16 shares sold back to me.

who can help??

GrannyMae
05-29-2005, 03:10 PM
I do doubt your claim that you could have found a 100% backer

i never claimed this jerkoff. i said i was entering on my own.

what you fail to address is that i will have many expenses that are NOT covered, so that's why i put the toke remark.

now why don'tyou let everyone know why you are so interested in this if you are not an investor. are you the grannywsop trip cop?

Whoa, a lot of hostility towards someone who has wished you nothing but the best and has simply suggested that one narrow thing you said is worth questioning.

[ QUOTE ]
i never claimed [that I could have found a 100% backer] jerkoff. i said i was entering on my own.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, you may have never explicitly stated that you could have found a backer, but you did state that:

[ QUOTE ]
if i wanted/needed a backer, i would be playing for a percentage of the win but not putting up a dime.

[/ QUOTE ]

Doesn't that statement implicitly assume that you could have found a 100% backer? If it doesn't, it's entirely pointless to say. It would be a bit like saying "if I were a wizard, I would turn dirt into gold," in response to someone asking you how to realisitcally obtain gold.

Even if you were just making fantastic claims and you weren't asserting that you could have found a 100% backer, I still doubt that you could have entered on your own. I admit I that my evidence for this is entirely circumstantial and I may be incorrect. But I believe it is very strong evidence, even if it is only circumstantial.

The point is that you probably wouldn't have played in the WSOP were it not for this deal, and by virtue of the deal you are now able to. At the very least, you benefit greatly from the reduced stakes. It is simply absurd to suggest that you deserve tokes because the deal affords you less "premium" than a standard backing deal: The situation is completely different from those that lead to standard backing deals, as I have shown.

If you would have said, "if I make the money, it would be nice if people toked me to make up for my out-of-pocket expenses," I would have found it more reasonable. But that was not the justificaiton you gave.

I should also be clear that I'm not making any suggestions about whether or not people should toke. If people decide to, it's a very nice gesture and I would never dream of questioning such a thing. All I was calling into question was your given justification for requesting the tokes.

then you and the other troll have me tied into getting something from true poker for these accounts.

Hiya granny,

Do we get to charge a premium on the secondary market? /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Kidding of course, I'll be happy to sell back three shares and keep 2 for myself. If you want to split shares we can do 2 1/2 (that way I get to have an even 1% which would be fun, but I don't care either way).

Let me know,
J

I don't want to sell a share, but I will if anyone gets shut out.

I'll tip upto the amount that doesn't knock me down a boat bracket.

i actually have plenty of time to get the 7. i should be ok. ty for the offer tho.

I'll tip upto the amount that doesn't knock me down a boat bracket.

DEAL!!!

everyone can use this as the decider. we will call this the boat-upgrade, toke litmus.

i'm sure the non-investors that have so much interest in this will approve.

do you guys suppose the trolls read all the way back to where i said i would cover legal and tax fees? i wonder how much it is going to cost me to issue 130, 1099's?? oh, that's right. not anything because this was all a scam to get you as my affiliate babies (at a site i am not an affiliate for)

i hate trolls

Granny, when you win it, we will throw in a special 3D Avatar in your likeness, regardless of whether the world is really ready for such a treat.

Truepoker would like to thank everyone who joined in this effort. We will be meeting on Monday internally here to sort through all emails, pick up any additional shares, collect any uncollected money, et cetera.

Granny IS already entered in the WSOP Main Event, as of Thursday, so all we need do here is sort out any loose ends.

Good luck all with your agreement, and good luck to Granny of ocurse ....

(Granny, We have not gotten Mason to agree to that "special request" of yours, and the Nevada Dept. of Agriculture might object anyway.)

GRANNY,

I have only two shares but (reluctantly) would give up on one share so that I would be left with only one remaining share. But let's see first how many of the 3+ shareholders are willing to let go. You could transfer on Stars, Paradise, Party, TruePoker, whatever, I'm even thinking about giving it up for free as a lump sum toke.

my identity will be revealed to investors before the tourney, but please do not post anything until i am in the money.

[/ QUOTE ]

Are you pretty much expecting your identity to be revealed to all of 2+2 when you make the money? I'm pretty sure I already know who you are, but you're secret is safe with me anyway.

But the bigger question is: will someone be providing up to the minute (hour, half-day) updates here? ESPN needs to figure out pretty soon how to handle these things live. Can you imagine having the Superbowl aired three months after the fact?

BluffTHIS! -- Granny doesn't need a backer. She had mentioned before that she'd planned to play anyway. She's just doing this so we Zooers get to share in her winnings.

I once watched Granny take down someone in an online heads-up tournament, all the while making jokes and posting to 2+2. If she can crack wise and play solid poker wearing her stained nightgown, she'll have no problem winning the WSOP.

And for anyone who remembers all the screenshots she posted, I would also easily stake Granny in any side game slot machine action.

serling: WHOEVER wins the WSOP doesn't need a backer either, because no matter how good a player he/she is, he/she will have to get tremendously lucky to fade that big field and get to 1st place.

When the Gran-man makes the money, there will be no way around his name being posted here. There will be too much hoop-la and extreme joy from all of the backers to avoid it. Hopefully though, no identity will be posted until he is in the money like has been requested.

I just read the posts, I have 3 shares, so if you want 1 back .. let me know.

Shirts are being process tonight. I want to do them all together so maybe I can save some money. I'll keep you updated. (worst case, I can overnight them to you. Or maybe go play foxwoods for a day)

I Have finally figured out the cost et al.

Shirts for those that have requested them will be $25, $28 if XXL (plus shiping from me to you). I believe it was about $2-3.

I have PM'd Mason and would liek to start a new thread here. But I will only do so with his OK.

I also will have Golf Shirts ($25), Card holders ($10) WAIT TO YOU SEE THESE FOCKERS! /images/graemlins/blush.gif

So just hold on and I will get back to those that contacted me.
