Collection thread #3 for \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

Link to previous thread.

Here are copies of my two current unofficial lists.

The first list is of those that I have recorded via Zoo posts or by pm that have purchased Granny-shares. This is not necessarily totally correct and must not be relied upon, in itself. In due course, you will receive confirmation from Truepoker and/or GrannyMae of your actual standing. (Please remember that Granny is relying on your help and generosity in this venture, so if you have tried to get in, Granny will make sure that you are included, correctly.)

The second list is of those who indicated interest originally, but who have not yet stated in the Zoo or by pm that they have purchased Granny-shares. There is absolutely no pressure on you to buy, but it would help me a lot if I knew whether or not you still wish to buy. Some of you have told me that you can't transfer funds for a day or two, but still intend to do so. It may be that I will have to buy an extra number of shares to allow for this. Although this will be at my own risk, Granny tells me I will be able to sell these on after the deadline, (as would anyone else), up until near the start of the WSOP Main Event. If anyone wants to help me out in this respect by buying a few extra shares at their own risk that they will be prepared to try to sell on later, please do so, and let me know by post or pm. There are 28 shares remaining, at the time of this post, according to my unofficial records.

Re: Collection thread #3 for \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

I am still waiting for money to come from my Crypto's to my Netel!

I went on last night and realized that True does not pay for InstaCash.

Hopefully I'll be there tonight!

Re: Collection thread #3 for \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

I've bought 2, but I haven't got confirmation from True about the second one and the $80 for both of them is still in my account.

I can't tell if there aren't enough shares or if more need to be bought but I'll buy a 3rd one if the latter is the case.

Re: Collection thread #3 for \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

As a matter of fact, I sent Truepoker 3 mails, but haven't got ANY reply so far. What gives?

Re: Collection thread #3 for \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

How will our Truepoker ID's be matched to our forum ID's to know that we have paid?

Re: Collection thread #3 for \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

I have sent requests for 3 shares to True....no response from them and money is still in my account. But, if they do not transfer by tonight I will transfer at least that amount to Granny on Paradise and more if needed.

Doing my part to help out granny and increase my fortune.

Please transfer $ 80 to the above-numbered account in respect of 2
Granny-shares as per "Granny goes to Vegas!" details in Twoplustwo
Internet Forum. I understand and accept that Truepoker is acting only
as the agent for collecting funds for the player known as GrannyMae
and I act entirely at my own risk, and I further understand and accept
that this is an independent transaction betweeen myself and the player
known as GrannyMae with no responsibility or liability falling on
Truepoker or Twoplustwo in any way whatsoever.


TruePoker Username is grrouchie

(just to make things clear, This will increase my total Granny-Shares
to 5 and put me in for a total of $200. I only add this because I did
not get a response on my last email and just want to make sure that it
was received).

Re: Collection thread #3 for \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

Just checked again. No email from True, no money taken out of my account.

Will wait until tomarrow as requested before sending a second email.

Update #1
 

I have received this e-mail from Mr True, today:

"We sent emails to everyone as of about 6:30 pm last night.

We would not transfer any money until GM gave us the go-ahead. That way, if it was a no-go, we would not have to transfer it back to everyone.

All of them are set up to transfer when we are told to do so."

If you wrote before 6.30pm last night and have not received an e-mail, I suppose you should do a reminder now, but please ensure it is clearly marked that it is a reminder because you have not received a reply to your original request.

Re: Update #1
 

i never received an email from true, however i appear on Mike's list as paid and the money is gone... so i asuume it went just fine

Re: Update #2
 

Granny has to deal with personal business for a few hours, and then has to make his final decision on buying the seat within about the next eight hours.

A number of you have indicated that you would buy an extra share or two to make sure this baby flies.

We seem to have about 25 people who indicated originally they might like to buy a share who still have not bought. Some have told me they definitely will buy; some I haven't heard from since buying commenced.

We have 23 unsold shares.

If anyone wants to buy an extra one or two within the next few hours, at your own risk, and states in this thread they have bought that one or two to ensure that Granny Goes To Vegas!(tm) but will be willing to sell it to a latecomer after the deadline, I should be much obliged. (Who knows? You might even be able to negotiate a premium on your Granny-shares as the Big Game approaches and people realise this was their best chance to receive a direct representation in the Tournament.)

My thanks to anyone who does this. (Although I must admit I have spent so much time on this that I will probably pick up any that are left at Time Zero, on the same own risk but intended resale basis, rather than see a collapse at this late hour.)

Re: Update #2
 

just bought 2 more. go granny? now my rent money is riding on his success.

Re: Update #2

I know if I get any type of significant (Ok OK WHEN, not if but WHEN) then I am immediately putting that money towards my fat ass playing the WSOP next year.

This is basically my satalite into the tourney lol.

Re: Update #2
 

I just bought my third share.

(Mike, if you buy the unsold shares I'm quite sure you'll be able to sell them later on, but if you shouldn't, I'll help you out with buying another share or two afterwards.)

OINK!

Email update : \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

I just went thru EVERY email received and sent out an acknowledgement from marketing saying "thx".

This should let everyone know which we received.

We will not transfer funds out of your accounts to GM2WSOP until Granny says to me to do so. I will be landing in Las Vegas tonight, so do not look for the transfer before tomorrow morning.

Thank you for your patience.

Truepoker CEO

Re: Collection thread #3 for \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

I got the email saying "thx" and I just sent another asking to buy a third share - sorry to be a hassle True CEO.

Re: Email update : \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

Received the emails
thanks for the reply.

Re: Update #2
 

OK,I bought 2 shares and recieved the "thx" email. I will be willing to sell one later if needed.

Re: Email update : \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

until Granny says to me to do so


BUYYYYY IT!!


wooo

ok folks, we are gonna do this.

we are still short, so PLEEEEEEEZE continue with your generous donations via true or transfers to me at paradise or stars (acct GrannyMae).

i will get with mike in next couple of days and get a final list. all of the partners/shareholders will be given instructions for next step within 5 days or so.

basically, i am going to have all of you send a private email to a private acct and we will handle the details that way.

the only thing that will be posted here is a final list of all the investors, but it will be listed by posting name, not real names.

all partner's real identities will be kept completely private and my identity will be revealed after the cards are in the air.

i can't even begin to thank properly in this post, so i won't even try. suffice it to say that mike and david have been amazing and i'll get all gushy thanking the investors in the post later this week.

those not in yet (MASON), please get off yer butts. it is only $40, but what a good cause (MY fame, your pocket)

true transfers will be accepted up until end of next week, so dig deep.


woooooo

Re: Collection thread #3 for \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

I sent a request to TruePoker for a third share.

Re: Collection thread #3 for \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

Hi Mike,

Checked my email this morning and received confirmation from Truepoker.

The $80 is still in my account and awaiting withdrawal to go to Granny.

Lawrence

Re: Update #1
 

Because of the way my emails were sent to true, I believe they are going to charge me for three shares which is AOK with me so put me down for a third.

Re: Email update : \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

quick clarifications:

BUYYYYY IT!!



what i am telling CEO is that i will cover any shortfall if we can't sell them all. not that we have finished selling

all partner's real identities will be kept completely private and my identity will be revealed after the cards are in the air.

INVESTORS will have my identity pre-tourney (soon). identity will be posted in zoo after tourney starts so progress can be followed by non-investors (as promosed).

Re: Email update : \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

Granny please don't tell me your real name it would ruin the fun and the myth. I can see envision the ESPN commentators screaming " Granny won it all".

would that be something else or what?

Re: Email update : \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

I have requested and recieved confirmation on a second granny share.

Re: Email update : \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

Do you have to use your real name when you register the WSOP? I seem to remember in the past one of the placers in some wsop event had an obviously fake name of some sort. though I forget what it was. Could you register and play as Grannie Mae, so that tv commentators had to call you that?

this is an excellent question.

i'm afraid that if the the answer is affirmative, all the espn viewers will feel there is a sexually confused, geriatric wanna be sitting in. of course, that's still better than the unabomber. what kind of message is THAT nickname?

to give a serious answer, i'm not certain how CEO is doing this. i don't know if he gives name or not.

Re: Email update : \"Granny Goes To Vegas!\"
 

I'd be shocked if the WSOP wasn't demanding IDs and names now. 5,000+ they're expecting, yes? That's a lawsuit waiting to happen.
