Badonk's Donks Stables Social Chat

This is in reply to the post made by @floridajetski. It can be read three posts above.
As stated in my most recent post (see above), the league has adopted a new policy whereby
prior to any RP player being inducted to the league or any member being suspended from the league, there will be a notice posted here so that the entire membership has the opportunity to endorse or oppose the action. It would only be fair that members requesting to be reinstated be treated equally as any other RP players requesting to become new members.
Regarding the former member (who shall remain nameless) to whom you refer:
That member requested that they be replaced, because they did not have the time to play.
Furthermore, while requesting reinstatement, the member was unable to commit to play and instead suggested penalties for not participating which would be detrimental to the MTT.
@floridajetski, this is the exact reason why the league has enacted our new policy, so that this type of after-the-fact question and response will no longer be necessary.

6 PENDING MEMBERS
We currently have 6 nominees that are pending to possibly become new members.
They first 3 are @B_T (ranked 605), @35cent (ranked 295) and @burt57 (ranked 395).
After being posted here, these nominees will be inducted on Thursday (8/30/2018) unless there is significant opposition from the league. Any opposition should be discussed here at the Stables but the league will give limited consideration to any pm sent to Badonkidonk. Once inducted, they would be eligible to play in the 9/2/2018 MTT. The next 3 nominees are @chestersdad (ranked 175), @knighthawk37 (ranked 971) and rebelburn (ranked 924) who will be eligible to play in our 9/9/18MTT if inducted.

Okay so up until this point there were never any guidelines for reinstatement that were posted on here for us to know how to handle that situation when coming across a suspended member that approaches you about being able to be reinstated or join again and it was never even brought up by anyone til now, so i assume he has to get on the approval/wait list again and go thru the same process as a new recruit. I will inform the suspended member about the new guidelines on reinstatement and let u handle it from here. I just thought members might want to know what to say or do if they come across an ex member that asks to re join again so everyone is clear on this since nothing was ever explained on here. It makes sense now.

Membership Policy -
No need to assume anything. “It would only be fair that members requesting to be reinstated be treated equally as any other RP players” Thank you @floridajetski

Yep, i agree they should go thru the same process as any other new member but there were never any guidelines set until now as far as the process of reinstating an ex member when that happened, so hopefully it is clear to all now.

TEAM POKER CHALLENGE -
Needed: One More Team Poker Player
Guys, c’mon. That other league (I don’t even want to post their name on our forum) has formally challenged the Donks in a team winner take all match to the death of team poker. Apparently, they actually think that they can beat the best players in RP. So crum1850 and I have taken it as a personal attack on our league’s poker prowess and have accepted this challenge. He has already formed a great core team with the likes of 1–crum 2–brick52 3–horseman 4–rpjunkie 5–Midwest jack 6–tomkat287 7—Marklou 8–__________. See that line? Who amongst you is willing to put it all (your RP name) on the line? Who amongst you has the poker skills to join this fine group of elite poker players? The reputation of our league is on the line…yes, that line, so who amongst you is up for the challenge?

Tips and an ready to play. Lets get it on.

There are only 4 more Sunday’s in this quarter, but you will have 7 more MTT’s to reach your goal of carrots, because we are starting our 2nd weekly MTT on 9/12/18. Then after 9/30/18 there will be 2 different leaderboards . There will be a 4th quarter leaderboard where everyone will start over at 0 carrots and there will be a year-to-date leaderboard which will continue adding accumulative carrots for the entire year.

*More carrots than any other Donk with the same number of MTT’s played.
Carrots are awarded using the same formula that RP uses for 100K MTT’s.
(1,000 × (√Runners)/√(Finishing Position))×(1+log(Buy-in))
Finish = Order of Finish in MTT’s to date; where X = Ineligible; and 0 = Did not play

keep up the good work, Bdonk. You are doing a great job.

Thank you for the post chuck, I appreciate your comment. It takes a lot of time, but I enjoy it.

Our first Wednesday night MTT will be played at 9pm EDT on 9/12/18.
Now one more question… 100K or 250K buy in? Let’s discuss it and vote here.
Badonk

I like the 100K but will play 250 if necessary.

I wouldn’t play 250k buy in

I will play either one.
Thanks for a well done survey.

As I don’t have billions of chips, I won’t play with a 250,000 buy-in!

I will play either but how about a quick PM survey again but for the buy in amount ? This will show which one would have a higher turnout for the games which is important too.

!00k buy in seems appropriate for most ev1. Of course it helps if the donk knows that eastern time is an hour ahead of central(ahem,I’m in central). Is there a category for dumb donks?
