I highly doubt they are smart enough to figure this out.

History says they aren't, but my fingers are crossed. I'm not sure why they can't have a pop up like they do for tournament overlays and let people know before hand. I didn't notice the missing MTTs til' after I regged and wouldn't have had I known.

Think what I have been saying is deal with it or find another site.

Do they still have CarbonChris or some other representative monitoring this thread and resolving issues? As much as Carbon sucks a fat one, I feel like they have been making efforts to improve it.

That being said, I can't believe how much they are blowing it in so many different ways. How about alerts/private messages/emails when there is server maintenance? They do such a terrible job of informing their players about what's going on with anything ever. They are so beyond screwed when the majors come back in the U.S. Hopefully their temporary money grab works out good for them. And what's with mtt late reg for like 3 hours??????

And like you've been told at least 10x itt now, there is only 2 other options and we all have to play all 3 to support ourselves. Also, like I've personally told you at least 5x now if you have any sort of a real bankroll on this site you can't just leave unless you leave a big chunk of money on Merge without using it because it takes so long to cash out.

You have yet to post anything productive yet talk about derailing the thread... congrats.

No, there isn't anyone here to help you except other players and some affiliates. Take what everyone here says with a grain of salt. I find it best to take in what everyone has to say and form my own opinion.

Many people feel your pain about the ridiculous late reg (which is closer to 4 hours than 3 and almost 6 hours in some) and unlimited reentries. Hopefully they change their stance on this at some point.

Be careful having an opinion, you'll get attacked by affiliates, their friends, and random trolls.

I also feel like in the last few weeks/month or so they've been making a little bit of an effort, but who knows how far they will go in order to rectify things.

CarbonRyan had some sort of difference of opinion with the network and resigned. I don't know what happened to CarbonChris. If he is still around he is probably listening to the players. He was always looking for feedback.

GLUIPERIG: The bottom line is, if you don't like what someone is saying you can always take Kahn's advice and put that person on your ignore list. If you feel that someone is saying something inappropriate in this thread, you can use the report button and report that individual.

my point wasn't to attack you as so seem like a thoughtful person and i respect your posts in this thread and others.

with all the abuse Kahn has received in this thread im surpised he didnt leave long ago. why put up with it? and if he was gone its a fact that people who post in this thread who need help with problems on Merge would be **** out of luck. well, there's always live chat (lol).

are you planning on putting all your personal contact information in your profile on 2p2 saying contact me any time with any problem and you'll bring it to the attention of the person you know on Aced? probably not.

heaping abuse on the one person who posts in this thread that can help solve problems and be sure valid concerns make it to the desks of decision makers is bad for everyone here.

There are no reps anymore.


Insofar as server maintenance, it's often announced here:

Kahn

I don't make money from being an affiliate so I have absolutely no reason to do that. If someone PMed me and needed some help and wasn't a d bag I'd do my best to help.

I have absolutely no problem with Kahn or anything he posts so long as it is unbiased information to his cause. There is nothing wrong with being an affiliate and helping in the forums to try and garner relationships with players so you can earn more business if you keep it honest.

He isn't going to leave this thread no matter what anyone says so no need to worry. He makes money posting here both directly and indirectly.

I don't want mentioned in any post that has to do w/ this guy anymore and I kindly ask for people not to do so. I've made my position very clear on the subject and as long as him and his buddies don't try to bash me and any other real posters who happen to not agree w/ him I have nothing else to say about it.

iPlay - you are using the same modus operandi of other guys that take over a thread in a short period of time, using nothing but generalities and vague intuition as facts against someone and then trying to have it become the word of the day.

Look, Kahn is an affiliate, yes. But he busts his ass to make an honest living and he's providing a ton of highly useful information that is based on quantifiable data every single day - on dozens of topics and threads all over the forum. That doesn't mean he's in the bag for everyone he represents to the ends of the Earth, like some other affiliates are. He gives a crap. More than I can say for a heap of people I've run into in this oft-nonsense industry.

You seem hell bent on railroading Kahn, and me by proxy I guess, and then running onward as if your word is fact and any disagreement or defense is a derailment of the thread. I'm the first one to point to a stat or a trend or pile of information or a piece of data and either show it to people or offer an analysis, or sometimes both. I've often posted information that is obviously and directly negative against Merge in particular - I didn't hide or distort Merge's hideous cashout times last summer and I've re-posted that information frequently, for instance. Hell, I cataloged it when no one else gave two craps in doing so to show how bad it truly was. I've been vocal about Merge's idiotic approach to their MTT schedule and have recommended other places to people who ask me who are disenfranchised about how Merge is running their schedule. I've railed on WPN for some basic software issues that they've yet to fix.

But now you're trying to paint perception that I'm just Kahn's friend or shill buddy, happily distorting information because all I care about is squeezing every dime I can for all my friends and associates. That's not me. And if this is derailing, I apologize. But I'm not going to let it stand unanswered just because you say it's so. Believe me, don't believe me. Your prerogative of course. But I'm actually a pretty honest person. I call BS when I see it, or call for accountability when it's needed, and I rightly defend where I feel it might be useful (I didn't start the Lock stuff for any other reason than I was tired of seeing people get screwed over).

If you have a legit beef with him, then talk to him about it. Bring your concern to him. He's a good guy. I'm sure you guys could have worked it out before it got to this. Call me naive, whatever...but this isn't a giant conspiracy here. None of us even have the time, believe me.

Again, do you even play on Merge, nutz? You failed to answer the question the other day. Quit defending your buddy. Nothing I have said isn't true about him and how he operates


How many times do I have to say I respect his help in the forums before you'll quit posting for a grown man? I have no problem with him if he keeps it classy. He fails to do that from time to time..

If there is an issue with what I have to say he can post for himself and he knows my Skype. You're bringing nothing to this thread but your man crush for Kahn.

I just posted before your ridiculous page of nothingness asking to not be mentioned in a post w/ him. What else can I do to get you rejects to drop it?

FML was 4 handed in the 33 10k gtd nightly with a guy sitting out for the last 30 minutes. How bad can I run. if I'm not mistaken 50% is sorted by chips and 50% is divided evenly among players left ?

wow that sucks, i figured they started the updates after all the nightly mtts finished classic merge

JFC, I don't even know where to start with this thread, and the problem comes from both "sides". I could try to go back and clean up for the last couple of days, but it would be a nightmare to figure out what should stay and what should go, so I'm not going to bother and I'll hope that things can improve from here on out.

People can post positive things about Merge without being a shill. People can post negative things about Merge without being a troll. And people can disagree without calling each other names. If you're just here to post positive or negative things about the network and have nothing of real value to add, we probably don't need you in here.

I don't know what else to say other than it would be nice if everyone could pause before pressing the "Submit Reply" or "Post Quick Reply" buttons, and consider whether your post is really needed; does it really move the conversation forward at all or help anyone?

There's been numerous times that I've started typing out a reply to different threads and then given it some more thought and said "**** it, it's really not worth getting into this debate". You probably wouldn't know it, as I'm sure I could do it a lot more often, but I'm trying to improve. We don't need to post every thought we have.

Cliffs: Can't we all just get along?

Probably done this at least 500 times since I joined...lol.

Only reason I responded at all was because I saw a need to defend against specific instances of inaccurate mud slinging, for lack of a better word. Nobody's perfect or above reproach, obviously - hold people to a standard for sure. But name calling (was modded out, but I know what was there previously) and accusatory statements defaming someone I respect and know to be not doing what he's accused of in those instances I defended (I don't know the PM story - that's between them) - that doesn't get a free pass with me.

I'm good on the getting along thing - my olive branch is extended.

This was along the line of my thinking in my GTFO post. There's a lot of good information ITT, and it's a good way to network with other regs. But there's just so much blatant and pointless Merge-bashing that has to be read through that it diminishes the usefulness of the thread.

Yeah, there's lots of stuff Merge could be doing differently that would benefit the site and the players. But in all likelihood, they're not going to change anything. I find it better to just roll with the punches and keep a positive attitude. At least we have a place to play with decent software, and can reliably get cashed out, albeit slowly.

As a footnote, I didn't mean GTFO of the thread. I meant GTFO of the site. I'm sorry if I pissed anyone off.

The remaining prize pool gets chopped up based on chip count.

This is one of those pointless posts being referred to.

No one is bashing Merge when they bring up their issues. There are people actively discussing the problems and trying to get them fixed and acknowledged instead of your approach of pretending they don't exist.

Anyone else having problems with HEM imports since the update?

I noticed they change the HH destination in the merge client, so check that.

Where is it located? I can't find where they moved it to.

Go to the HH settings in the poker lobby and copy the location there.

I can't get universal replayer to display the HH. It just says no data.

Not working with PT4 either

Any idea how to find how much I got from the refunded tourney chop last night that I discussed a few posts ago. My real money ledger is blank, sharkscope didnt record the score, I can't recall what was in my bankroll when I started last night so trying to figure out how much I received from the refund.

Fixed! I went to HH settings and just changed it back to what it used to be. lol
thx iPlayPLOhigh
I'm using PT4 fwiw
