There fundamentally should not be a disagreement about the outcome here: both players and my employer are on the same side here. Everyone wants fair and legitimate games of online poker. There's no disagreement about that, and this is not a case of "Riggies" vs "Online Poker Sites", or even "Riggies" vs "Defenders" (or whatever you want to call the various participants). We're all on the same side. We all want the shuffle to be random, we all want cheaters to be stopped, and we all want to enjoy a game of poker.
I respect your posts and I admire your determination, but honestly this is the equivalent of saying we all want world peace.
You will never be on the same side as riggies because the riggies will never allow you to be on their side for doing so invalidates their side. You are part of Pokerstars now and despite all of the good you have done in the past to actually make the games genuinely safer and better for everyone (which believe me the majority appreciates), none of it will ever matter to a riggie.
In their mind you are now part of the conspiracy to keep them losing their AA to KK because of a king on the turn, and anything you say will be interpreted as being a means for you to help cover up that conspiracy.
You know what the reaction to your "we are on the same side" will be?
- Well, why don't you open the door to us and let us see the RnG?
- That does not explain why my aces get cracked 110% of the time
- Of course you say that, you are a shill
I understand why many of the other posters have fun in this thread, but honestly I do not understand one bit why you spend so much energy to a fringe group that will never change their views.
You debunked that silly youtube video, what did that get you with the riggies.
You answer every bizarre claim with direct answers, what does that get you with the riggies.
That other non-shill shill summarized it perfectly when he bluntly said the riggies have it entirely wrong when they claim to be the skeptics and the "shills" to be the believers.
The riggies need it to be rigged whether it is rigged or not. Basic faith concept. Riggedology. You cannot change that, for they desperately need it.
