yeah it still has the prizes up but i think it might take a while to win this bad boy with the blinds still being at 10/15. probably months.

Re: Party Cruise November 3 Semifinals (limit)
 

i suspect there are a few players at your table still playing this because party's communication was so poor.

players deserve to be compensated for the time they are wasting on this.


I mean...I'm pretty ticked-off at their incompetence as is and I was pretty much able to figure out that something was wrong.


those who don't think anything is wrong and THEN something happens to their tournament (I mean...it has to end eventually, doesn't it??) OR they stay up for several hours playing this thing I think have even greater justification to be bothered by this situation.

Re: Party Cruise November 3 Semifinals (limit)
 

I totally agree, thus far only one person has left my table. No communication at all from party so i had no idea until i noticed the blinds were not going up and I came here to see what was up. I dont know if i should leave or not since everyone else is still here playing. I guess i will wait a little while longer. Its not my main focus right now anyways.

Re: Party Cruise November 3 Semifinals (limit)
 

just got a pop-up saying that they have cancelled the semi's for today and that they have already refunded my account.

Actually, I have not received the refund yet.


However, if I were still in it....I might consider still playing just in case.
but since the blinds haven't been moving it seems unlikely that they will give the prizes away in the 'ghost-tourney'.


That whole situation that sometimes develops with their 'ghost-tourneys' is kind of weird. You would think they would have an ability to stop one tourney completely and set up a new one...but they clearly have some major glitches in their system.

Aha - I actually was refunded.

They didn't put cash into my account....but instead gave me back my 'freeroll' (that I won via the $33 single-table qual's).


I'll try to get my extra cash for the 'inconvenience' tomorrow or the next day.
I don't expect to get very far.
But I think they should do more than just apologizing and saying 'here's your freeroll back'....guess you can use it in January (since I'm already registered for the next 3 semis).

Yes. I noticed the extra $75 under 'cashier --> History' today.
It said 'compensatio...' so I was assuming it was an apology for the screw-up.

I didn't get the e-mail though.
but the cash is a decent gesture.

Still a pain of course and would rather they fix these screw-ups...but I am satisfied that they at least took SOME kind of step to correct the situation.
And I didn't even need to fire off an e-mail about it!!
