*OFFICIAL* Zoo WSOP Raffle, 05/24/05! Details and signup inside!

[jhall23]

What's the deadline for tonight? I just downloaded True Poker, but being at work I probably can't login. I cashed out some money from Empire which should get to Neteller by the time I'm home from work. So I will be attempting to create a new account tonight and get money into the account.

I'll be tyring to get username: malaclypsety

Edit: Nevermind, must have been a fluke the first time. I was able to create an account. Username as stated above. As long as I can get money in when I get home I'm in. Please send me the password.

In lieu of a miracle I don't know if this will fill tonight. However, do NOT empty your True Poker accounts as I will have the raffle back up in a modified format within the week! The new format, if needed, will not be sensitive to a certain number of players and will go off no matter how many entrants, stay tuned! Still hoping we get a new swarm of players into this one though, although I will not be publicly posting the password, as it will remain the same for the second coming of the raffle, keep the interest coming, I will be here to send passes all day.

this sucks. if the zoo can't get 110 into this, the zoo doesn't deserve it.

cheers!

<font color="red">Ok folks, here is an update. As of 7:38PM EST the raffle has enlisted only 50 entrants. I take the blame for this. I think I showed somewhat of a lack of foresight in my organizing of this event in the way I structured it as well as in the way I organized signups. I am willing to realize this failure and move on immediately, as of right now I am currently typing up the proposal for the second raffle, as well as a satellite tournament for a prelim. Hopefully, after David returns from Vegas later this week I can get press releases for each of the events as well as getting them listed in the lobby and starting the registration. So no worries folks, keep your money in True Poker, play some tables, maybe even deposit more, they certainly deserve it! Another thing I will be doing is not posting the release threads in any other forum here other than the zoo, as I received some bad feebback in OOT about 'spamming' and what not and frankly don't feel like working my butt off to have people nitpick (they know who they are). But don't fret, new raffle coming, some new rules, and it won't be dependent on getting 110 entries like this one was. Expect an official release for both later this week, sorry for this one not filling folks!</font>

Sounds good. Too bad we couldn't get enough people involved in this. It seemed like there was a lot of interest. Hopefully you'll set up the next one so that no matter how many people we get the raffle will go off. The winner may only get $5K in WSOP money but I'm sure the winner won't be disappointed with that. Thanks again for the time you've put into this to get it off the ground.

I just emailed David the 2 proposals, I am in love with the new format, I won't lie to ya'll. The second coming of the raffle should be lots of fun!
