Edited by: HippoKing on 27/05/2006 11:05:57 Just for my own curiousity: why are we on a forum which we are repeatedly told is teen rated enough that no-one is allowed to use the word ***** in any context because some people might interpret is as a reference to drugs (i am allowed to say drugs, right?) but you are promoting gambling with a sticky?
edit: also, how come they get to inline images, and we have to link?

Great idea promoting gambling with a sticky post breaking nearly all posting rules of the forum in a teen-rated environment!
And why is this not in the OOP forum? --*=*=*-- Megadon CCP wanted a well known artist and celebrity to test the new font so it's approval would be well known. They got Ray |

All under age players will not be able or allowed to create an account. This is stated in our rules and regulations section and in our policy statement.
We do not allow underage gambling in any sense of the word. If there is fraud (i.e. an underage winner) the Prizes will be paid out to the runner up.
Furthermore we did not add any cash prizes, because there is not an entry fee, the tournament is completely free to enter. As a result, this tournament series should be more appealing. We intend this to be an event that gives the EVE Community an opportunity to win cool stuff (shipped to their door step) in a game of cards.
We appreciate your concerns.

The tournaments are at the same time as advertised. CET spells Central European time.
Our poker client can be adjusted to your current time zone (some computers do that automatically) so we included the tournament schedule in EVE time also.
Should you require any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact us at [email protected]

For those of you who doesn't know, CET is GMT+2 during the summer, so 2 hours ahead of EVT* (EVE Time).

*EVT is the same as GMT btw.

Edited by: Sarmaul on 27/05/2006 16:27:08 Edited by: Sarmaul on 27/05/2006 16:26:20 So, how come my posts regarding the morality and legality of a promotion associated with a teen-rated game which involves getting minors to download propriety software and gamble online were deleted?
I can fully understand removing my questions about the origin of 4kings.com as they have been answered by Keiron and other people, but the ethical points still stand. Either that, or stop censoring *****, ****, **** and all the other words designed to protect the teens playing this game.
As for preventing teens from signing up, the only verification performed involves asking for the age of the person. That's it. No credit card validation (which is generally recognised as an accepted method of authenticating adults), just a "what is your date of birth" box. There maybe more checks inside the propriety software, but there is no way in hell I'm installing that **** (oh no naughty word censor it) onto my PC.
Finally, as I stated in my posts that were deleted, anyone is free to join the promotion as the EVE-Online forums are public - you only need to be registered to post, not read.
Surely something as controversial as this should've been handled slightly better than with an unknown character with 2 previous posts to his name who got a sticky with no moderator or dev approval in the thread, has a noob character posting as a representative of 4kings, and only got a dev post when I drew Keiron to my concerns in another thread (concerns which were then promptly deleted)?

Hehe, yeah, I just noticed the timer that is running Local Server, so I'll just follow that.
See you guys at the tournament, but FYI, that PC is mine.

Ok, I think everyone has to calm down here a bit. There are some facts you should recognize before critizing this:
1. Entry is free! 2. You play with chips, not money, no money is involved. That means you play for free! 3. If you win, you win stuff, good stuff, free stuff! You don't win money! 4. Since I can't say this enough, you don't have to pay anything to play at all! 5. You don't have to pay any shipping, handling, customs fees or any form of taxes related to the prize, it is all covered by 4kings.
The only difference between this and playing poker in school for matches is that you actually get something if you win. However, you don't lose anything.
This is a TEEN rated forum, but we did announce the Fan Fest on it, and that is also something which is restricted to 18 y olds and above.
As for morals of playing poker, you are free to start your own thread on it in the Out Of Pod Experience forum, but it is off topic for this thread.
