party won\'t let me play with my girlfriend?
 

My girlfriend and I tried to play some .50/1 on party together last night, which we've done many times before. This time, the software wouldn't let us sit at eachothers tables, saying our accounts were associated. Presumably this is because we've logged in from the same IP address in the past(not at the same time). We've never discussed hands in progress or anything that's at all questionable.

I emailed party about it, and got a not particularly helpful response. Has anyone else gotten them to remove this block?

No, but could you clue me in on how I can get Party to let me and my "girlfriend" sit at the same tables?

No offense, but I'm really, really happy to hear that Party isn't allowing you to do this. While I'm sure you two have the best of intentions, 99% of players in a similar set-up wouldn't.

Just to clarify, we're not trying to do it from the same place. We're at our respective apartments 20 miles apart. I totally agree that you shouldn't be allowed to sit with people on the same IP address. But blocking it just because you've ever used the same computer is a bit much.

Why is that too much? That is the least they can do to prevent collusion.

Why do you want to play at the same table as your girlfriend?

he kinda walked into that one, eh? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

It shouldn't have anything to do with IP addresses. These are recycled enough to make it a logistical nightmare to maintain. It's my understanding that if you use the same computer to log on to different accounts, those accounts can never sit at the same table.

Yeah, how can my "girlfriend" and I play at the same tables when we are on different computers, like, 20 miles away?

It's not like we would use IM or cell phones or anything to communicate with each other. Nudge-Nudge wink-wink.
