Re: FTP Answers 4/28
LOL @ people sweating the small issues
i dont care about mid year bonuses
quite frankly, i dont even care about our continuing months (and iirc i'm at 32), this case could take 5 years to resolve
#1 care about my 12k
#2 care about the equity i have in my tournament tickets, ftps, and iron man medals
anything else that you dopes argue about is moot.

This is ONLY a snapshot sample of 10 separate posts and you could find many more if you looked:
The guy you pointed out + 4 or 5 more have been relentless at what you describe above.
To sum it up bitter losers that want to take this time to stick their tongues out at us.
Just try and rise above it and consider it poor entertainment value

i actually thought cocopoco was just an idiot/troll too at first, but i actually started to like his posts and he does make some valid/interesting points.

Re: FTP Answers 4/28
Do you think it is acceptable to not get answers to any questions if you ask a couple of dumb ones (I'll grant you that all the questions you quoted are dumb)?

Thank you so much for clearing up what you are concerned about and what doesn't and shouldn't matter to anyone else.
Why don't you open up another thread just for your concerns and you can type back and forth to yourself.

Re: FTP Answers 4/28
Thank you Doug, and we apologize for idiots posting on here. Some people just don't realize how much work is being put into this and that is really all the answers you have right now. Keep up the good work, look forward to hearing updates next week!

I don't understand why people like you are not trying to get 100% EQ from what we have built in FTP.
Assuming you had exactly 12k on FTP and you were iron for the first 3 moths of the year and got to gold in April (which is where I am, that's why I'm using these numbers) you would have $375 EQ in the mid year bonus. So 375/12K= ~3%. That is a 3% bank roll increase, why the hell would you not want this?
Hell I have more than 12K on FTP and I still want it.
Obv everyone wants their roll first then the EQ we all have from FTP's/iron man, but I'll take the rake back I've earned (which Doug said we will get, TY) and the extra money from the mid year bonus and wanting anything less is just stupid. It's your money use it when you need it; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN9OKXtzHtE

I think people with any significant amount of money/cash balance on the site are concerned that putting the focus on things such as take 2 and ironman length will make the process of requesting their money slower.
It is disappointing that Doug has said some of things things will be figured out before allowing us to cash out. Stars did imply the same at first, but it looks like they did eventually allow people to withdraw even with such things as FPP's balances not being figured out yet. Hopefully FTP takes the same line.
I think it's just as selfish, if not more so, that the people without any life changing money on the line are seemingly making a big issue out of things like take 2 ($25 max) when some depend on their roll to pay their mortgage or buy their kids some summer clothes and would hate to think these less time sensitive issues would hold up the process as a whole. Ultimately this is not the posters fault though and I'd hope FTP would realize what's most important and deal with the most important issues first, such as allowing people to have the ability to request their money.

Re: FTP Answers 4/28
I'm happy with this. Thanks, Doug. It's good to see FTP go on record about a lot of this and I have a great deal of confidence that while FTP is never going to be PokerStars in terms of doing things the right way, my money and bonuses will always be honored.

Re: FTP Answers 4/28
I think it can be almost guaranteed that FullTilt will leave something tied up for a later date when "FT opens back up to the US market". Aside from the obvious immediate monetary benefit, in the event FT and PS are reopened to the US players, wouldn't the vast majority of us go play at Stars? They need to have something on the hook to force people back to FT in the unlikely event that that happens.

Re: FTP Answers 4/28
so what happens when all of you pressure ftp into withdrawing real $$s for a one time deal?
go check PS, you get a 1 shot deal and they arent giving u compensation for fpps/vpps yet.
if you're so concerned about maximizing the value of every last bit of value you have on your ftp account you should probably shut up, not alienate the site and let them do their job instead of getting them to rush withdraw real monies.
don't turn against the site, and that's what you guys are doing.

Re: FTP Answers 4/28
If Full Tilt and Stars are ever allowed back into the US market. You can rest assured that I will never play another hand of poker on FTP. Your customer service is a bad joke.
