Since When Can\'t You Say \"Empire\" On Party?
 

I'm playing tonight and mention trying to work off a bonus. So a guy asks me what bonus, I type in Empire bonus and it shows up as :

xxxxxx bonus

Did I miss this talked about before? When did Empire become a bad word?

Re: Since When Can\'t You Say \"Empire\" On Party?
 

thats weird. Maybe it has to do something with empire being bought out by noble poker or <--vice versa---> and party poker is bitter.

Re: Since When Can\'t You Say \"Empire\" On Party?
 

that or they dont want you to know you can give your rake to someone else

Re: Since When Can\'t You Say \"Empire\" On Party?

This is what I meant by my original post, but I just used the name Party as the general skin.

Anyone notice this before today?

Empire Online have bought Club Dice and Noble Poker, which instantly makes them the major player on the Playtech network. It doesn't necessarily follow that they'll now be leaving the Party Poker network. They could just have done it to diversify their operation. But judging from this censorship of the Empire name, it seems like they might indeed be leaving.

I think they may have gotten fed up with the rule that players can only have an account at one room in the party poker network, which severely limits them in attracting players.

As far as I know this has never been enforced.

Re: Since When Can\'t You Say \"Empire\" On Party?
 

You can't say Rakeback either.

But just leave a gap after the first letter. That works.

Re: Since When Can\'t You Say \"Empire\" On Party?
 

Can't say "wish it" either. Throws it back as WiXXXXX.

Well not very successfully, at least. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

But it is a rule and if Party ever choose to get more serious about it then just checking if one of the skins has already been installed on someone's computer, there would be little Empire could do about it.
