I agree more or less, people get advantage form paying.. people getting gifts do nothing in return really... the most logic solution is no more loans

they do something : they give the loan back, the next month :)

country girl "gave a boost" (thats loaning) and now is a moderator :

here the proof :

elbbep: it still stinks when a person loans then gets made a moderator
Scorp-est: :)))

These cards suck: got proof?
Country Girl: i did not
elbbep: ahh so its ok now lol
elbbep: yep its copied in the chat room tcs

I can see why your angry/mad about this.. without your monthly bump from your buddies your still on the noob tables...

I'm looking at your stats and it says it all.. if you can't get off the small tables you struggle all month long.. that's why loan is an issue.. why should you be given chips when you didn't earn them?

Give me 100,000 chips I'm sure I can pick off my fair share of people in time...

I have given and recieved a loan before, but I wont do it again. I didnt think it was a big deal, but now that everyone has made it a big deal I can see why.

If you went to Vegas and played in a tournament you would be kicked out and banned for giveing a "loan".

Now I know we aren't playing for real money, but it is a monthly tournament, and we do recieve a nice shiny chip for winning. THANK YOU RYAN. So if someone loans you 2.5 Million at 11:59 PM on the 31st of the month so you can get top 25, THEN YOU JUST CHEATED! And if Im in 24th place and that bumps me out of top 25, Ill be pissed.

So, as for the 25k to members, I can see how you can say thats not fair, but f*#k it, they are paying so we can all have this sight, and I say thanx to all them, and hell give them 100k to start. Im just going to take it from them anywase LOL.

I still can't understand why this is still a question. If you give a loan or take a loan it is unfair to the people who play this site day in and day out in an honest manner. A loan is not chips you won yourself so why should you be allowed to count them in the final monthly tally? This is a competition and although it would be fine to take a loan if you were just playing with friends on a neighborhood table, it disrupts and dicredits the monthly results on this site when it occurs here. Why is that so hard to understand?????

Tdubb~How are you so smart and so handsome at the same time? Most men are one or the other! hahaahah I agree with ya~I did give chips and I received chips but not anymore! Oh~and wanna play one on one? hahahahahaha

One more comment: If I am paying to play and I am awarded a stake at the beginning of the month you can also pay and get the same. Since it is not random and it is available to any player it isn't the same as your loans are. I hope that clears that confusion up.

i never understand Ryan!feck sake

Rob~read the post I gave Tdub~exact same thing for you:) Loaning is unfair~bottom line!! And I don't think it will ever be put to rest!
