Full Tilt is asking me to surrender my screen name...

I've had the handle "Brian Townsend" on Full Tilt for a few years now. I got an email today asking me to surrender it bc of the new CardRunners/FullTilt alliance....

Variance: They offered me 100 T$ to make the switch.........

I would try to go higher. Start at $1k cash and see what they'll say.

$100T is BS. $500 Cash money or you stick with it!

what kind of a weak raise is that?
srsly i think you should do a crazy overbet
ask them for something like a seat to the next ftops main event and 300 in cash
i think this way you will get more value out of your screenname
of course you sound like you really want to keep the account because that will make them pay more imo

Re: Full Tilt is asking me to surrender my screen name...

couldnt they theoretically just give it to him anyway? w/o my permission? they dont want their ballyhooed promotion to look stupid when "Brian Townsend" is playing NL100.........
