slide will probably be the most attractive choice to fish but they might end up folding too much thinking they really cool and that

Thanks!
why the selected animation is shown only when new table is appearing. ex: i select slide animation, then i quick fold and table disappears with fade animation even though i selected slide, then new table correctly appears with slide.

I don't know if this would work or not for Zoom tourney final tables:

Keep track of distribution for all positions the same way it is done for the big blind. Continue to randomize positions while running a limit counter. Once the limit has been reached for Player X in position Y, that player is forced to play that position. Use some sort of tie breaking system if both players reach a limit for the same position at the same time.

Non-blind Counter Limit = # Seats * 1.5 (arbitrary)
SB Counter Limit = # Seats - 1 (overrides Non-BB Counter)
BB Counter Limit = # Seats - 1 (overrides Non-BB Counter)

BB: BB = 0, every other position = 1
MP1: BB = 1, MP1 = 0, every other position = 2
CO: BB = 2, MP1 = 1, CO = 0, every other position = 3
BTN: BB = 3, MP1 = 2, CO = 1, BTN = 0, every other position = 4
...
9 handed, BB = 8, MP1 = 14. Next hand this player is forced into the big blind, the following hand forced into MP1.

This is a bug currently on .TEST that we will fix hopefully later today.

In my opinion you need a 'Sit out on next BB on ALL ZOOM TABLES' button. Really annoying clicking the 'Sit out on next BB' on 4 different tables when you are taking a break.

...just my $0.02

Barrios, he told why cant say a date posts ago. Just because there many variables that can affect the date.
I think its come more clear when you think in server reset today, if they launch and find a new bug, needs a server reset that influence in all games making it bad to everyone, in special to mtt'ers.

It just wouldn't work -- think of what happens when it gets to 3/4 players and blinds are high. It would have to go to standard play or have the potential for HUGE implications. Try explaining your formula to someone that was just placed in EP three times in a row with 5 remaining.

So may as well start standard play somewhere and the final table is the natural place.

But isn't the possibility of EP 3x in a row the entire nature of Zoom / Rush in the first place? It's completely possible to end up in that situation throughout the rest of the tournament. What about when it's 14 or 12 left on 2 tables and you end up in EP 3x in a row?

Or are you saying that the Zoom concept is nice only until serious money is involved?

Compared to a big blind counting only + completely random system it would be possible to end up in EP 8x in a row 5 handed besides your forced blinds over 2 orbits whereas with my system it puts caps on that distribution given that you set the non-bb counter factor to an appropriate number.

The best animation is the one where you get the to next table/hand as quickly as possible without any unnecessary animations.

Release of Real Money ZOOM will come with the .COM client that we plan to release late next week (this also applies to all other global liquidity clients, such as .EU, .DK etc.). We will have ZOOM on .NET for Play Money only before this.

def set fade as standard animation.
and i hope the lag in the software is because of to less players in the player pool.
