Isnt that tooo much time?
well, is a month too much to possibly save your poker career? Month-long strike will make a big hole in amaya's finances, if we gather more players(like 10000), month-long strike will make amaya lose money during that month and they can't even afford to profit less than they do now.

I don't see this happening, players will quit the strike, well the majority that play the most will. Not playing for 30 days is just not possible for many, pros and recs. I think future non-playing schedule should be changed from 7 consecutive days to multiple one day strikes within a month. We choose random dates say 6 days per month in the beginning. This way its easier for players to jump on board for longer periods. Also, stars can not prepare and offer promotion for that period. We start increasing number of days each month by 1 day. This way we can hopefully gather the momentum we need and get more people on board as this progresses, a snow ball effect. We also make stars feel the damage more and more as they stay silent to our demands. Eventually, we stop playing for like 20 days per month. If we can get this far, we arrange our schedules this way, daily playing quotas or playing days of week distribution for players based on their SNs starting letter (just an idea). The whole thing will have to gather a big momentum and we surely don't do it by striking for one whole month in February. It will take time and a lot of strength of character by players to stay on board, so it has to be carefully designed. I am sure that we will eventually succeed. But we have to think about players , that it is not easy not to play for days in a row, so we have to be very careful how we do this, especially in the beginning. We only had a pilot episode and a holiday special, it will get harder through the year.

I think thats a decent idea, but would be awfully hard to execute. It is already difficult as it is getting 5k+ players to join in , but yet we should sync schedules? Extremely difficult task IMO

i played yesterday and had some progression on the MIGHTY STEPS

guess what. whatever step isn't finished by the end of the day is lost and you start next day from the last finished step

so think about all the players that play with an average of half step coinstars stolen end of every day, day after day

they dont steal only from HS, they steal from each and evry level starting with MICROS

So many say that It`s impossible not to play on stars for a week cause they lose so much. I get it for the high stakes cash and games that only run on stars but for the vast majority of players there are a lot of other sites to play on during a strike with way softer fields that makes up for worse RB.

That's not the point. Just because some people are scum doesn't mean you should follow suit.

Exactly. A smart poker player who has not yet learned the crucial life lesson that there will always be black sheep doesn't seem smart to me at all.

That has to be those guys problem. Probably their nicknames should be published, so those guys's word would mean nothing in the future.

Players can play where they want and change their mind if they want. Resorting to public shaming is a pretty sure way of causing many players to become reluctant to attach their names to any protest. Bullying or divisive tactics are very self-defeating.
