If stars were gonna make a big announcement. I think they'd let everyone know days prior.

For example - "big announcement coming Friday" or what ever.

Wouldn't just suddenly release something today out the blue.

They'd needa hype it up for business purposes.

Don't hold your breath for the next few days guys

Likely you are right, but the GBT deal failure official news came out rather abruptly without too much notice unless memory fails me (which is not infrequent)

I think if it is good news and the deal goes through then it would be a planned announcement as said.

If bad news I think it will leak out like toxic waste and nothing planned.

Hopefully it will be the first...please god!

Pokerstars said nothing about FTP in their April 24th blog statement.

The only reason they said anything at all, and the only reason you know that it is about FTP is that people have been posting rumors and the results of their small partial investigations here on this forum or other poker news sites.

IMO, PS makes an announcement at some point whether the deal goes through or not. Many of the players with money stuck on FTP are also customers of PS. Due to all the rumors and that PS hasn't denied anything, I think they will announce something. But, that can be anytime between now and forever.

IF anything like this happens, they won't even have to lift their finger to "hype it up".

Why would they make an announcement of a forthcoming announcement?
Look, everything will be fine. Stars will take over FTP if not just for the ego boost alone.
We all get our monies back. Everybody plays poker again instead of trolling 2+2.
Just gonna take some time.
The only thing i worry about is if stars makes FTP a "skin".
FTP should be kept as its own entity.
05-22-2012 , 10:43 AM
i really hope stars makes an announcement this week or whenever even if they arent overtaking ftp (just make comment please ffs). this waiting, hopes and speculations are killing me and im sure a lot of people

It's always intrigued me that a fair number of people would rather be disappointed than patient.

Why wait and see what's for dinner when you can cram a **** sandwich in your mouth right now, right?

I wonder how a lot of people in this thread come to half of the conclusions they do...it's like reading comprehension was never taught.

At this point (actually, at some point well before now), this thread has achieved troll nirvana. Trolling, joking, and sarcasm is completely indistinguishable from any genuine post.

It's not really anyone's fault, it's just that the situation is so absurd and the emotions involved so tense that it was inevitable.
