I don't play on stars but if the block is going to go as low as $25nl, I'll make a deposit just to block 20 tables.

You can even block 2nl. Best would be 25nl-50nl tho cause those are the most "common" stakes.

Everyone who is striking should come up with a reasonable change they would like to their game which would result in them no longer striking, these should be compiled in some way.

Such as increasing the 6max multiplier from 5.5 to 6 or returning the rake cap from 3$ in 5 people games back to 2$.

Edit: I'm sure this has been mentioned a few times itt, but I beleive its important to make this strike more productive.

Decrease the rake to 2.5% and everyone is down with it

Guys, it would also be good to have an email we can all send to stars announcing our strike and why we are not happy.

would it be a good idea to create such a thread in NVG? --> more views, but the trolling going on in NVG might have a negative effect...

It would be so amazing if we could get organized with majority high volume players refusing to play anything 5-6+handed until they reduce rake cap to 2$. I mean, rake is killing SSNL/low MSNL. WC or not, it's so sick they screw their most important customers which make majority of their profit and people can't organize to demand anything more than "ok we screw you less" things mentioned here.
Even if you turn on protest script one day every week it will have huge impact, especially with chat messages about huge rake which may raise consciousness.
As the choices for me and many others are probably multisite bumhunting or playing high volume and most people here prefer high volume on decent terms we should go for it.
