I believe you are wrong. Krills has currently almost no value and there is no reason believe that will change anytime soon.
There is really no incentive for players to play except for a few who has a chance in Krillrace

 Why don't you reward players who actually playing on SWC now? I would really like to know.

This is my post from 2 years ago. I believe I was correct that time.

The whole krill system is design reward legacy players, but there is nothing for players who generate rake for SWC now.
If you implement something like I suggested 2 years ago you may be surprised  how responsive payers can be.

 SWC need new players and to keep them you need to give them something to look forward.

You understand that if he cheated, he wouldn't play under his known user name right?

What new promotions?

The idea behind weekly krill-rolls at that time was that SWC as a new site needed encourage players from old Seals to play on SWC.
Nobody would really blame them for changing Krill-rolls requirements at that time. It was good time to introduce the change without risk.
I am fairly certain if SWC would introduced for example 1BTC weekly for anyone who earn 200 krill for the week then, SWC traffic would be much
better now ( it would cost them nothing, they paid out the Bitcoins anyway).

Situation is different now. Old Seals players are gone and SWC don't have too many coins to spend for promotions.
I still think SWC need to do something, maybe 500 chips weekly krill-roll for anyone who earn 100-200 krill for the week?
SWC can announce special promo for 2 month, reevaluate and choose to continue with the promotion or not.
It would cost 4 Bitcoins. Hopefully they can still afford it. Players would be happy they got something and SWC will find out if they can increase
ring game traffic that way. If work as intended net cost for SWC should decrease over time. For example 1st week qualifies 30 players,
2nd week 40, 3rd week 50,etc.

What you suggest is a rake-back. For that to have any impact, SWC would have to pay players to play. I know the krill roll is essentially
the same thing, but for some reason I thing it's more acceptable and interesting.

It wold be nice to have SWC opinion.

 


 

Would you consider something like I propose year ago here?
 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=962440.msg10767975#msg10767975

The point is to encourage  recreational players. Those are mostly players who loosing money.

It seems I was right.

still down for me

I told you SWC.

Any reason why "u@ SWC" did think that reinstate old krillrolls is better incentive?

It is sad for me to see SWC in a current state.

When I started to play on Seals, more that 2 years ago, the software was barely playable. We played anyway because Seals was unique idea, management was engage,
they fought for every player,Mikon played every day with us,did his bathrobe videos,we had  krillrols etc.

It is different now.
This site looks like old tired seal waiting to be eaten.

SWC need players in all stakes. Rake race is not the answer.
This would be more appropriate in my opinion.

I don't understand why there is no non turbo MTT after 8pm EST, that's peak hours on SWC.

Honestly, I don't understand why is it such a headache for you. If I search for SwCpoker , only SwCpoker.eu is the result. I don't see how he can cost real
damage to SwCpoker.eu. I don't think he has anything valuable to sell to you or your competition . There is a reason why SwC register domain as .eu.
and likely never care about .com.

Evan if he manage to point some players to your competition they will likely find out about real SwC soon. So my advice is, focus on your job and make SwC
THE bitcoin poker site again.

I was subject twice to extortion attempt about 20 years ago, and both times worked for me to ignore them. It's a mistake show any interest, as long
you communicate with him he has a chance for payout. One thing is to make threat to do something and other is actually spend time and money to do it.
Anyway it's your business and ultimately your decision.

We had similar conversation few month ago. You was considering make the legacy Krillrolls smaller or less frequent
and use the saved chips for monthly or weekly krillrolls, if I remember correctly.    

If you decide to go with it, please try to keep the bar low. The idea is to make recreational players play more.
If the requirement to qualify for weekly freeroll will be to collect 500 krill for the week like I see someone suggest,
most players will not even try and you will end up with few regs beating each other.

I don't think that lottery like incentives (great hand reward,etc) make players play more.

As you said you have lots to consider. Not easy job.  

I respectfully disagree. I do start tables and so does "whodisis" but there is not much interest from others players to join. if we can get going one table for the particullar stakes,it's a good result and it will fell apart usually within hour.

189 players is about 1/2 of the players that played on old Seals, but the number of players on ring games is not even close 1/2 old Seals cash games players.
Aso I don't think windoze only is responsible for so big drop.
If you reinstate old krillrolls, I bet most of the players who played them on old Seals will come play the krillroll and then go back where the action is. (not on SWC)
The result will be SWC slowly bleed bitcoin reserves, because SWC will not collect enough rake.

I believe "whodisis" has a valid point and you should give his idea serious consideration. Try it for a month and see what happen. I am not suggesting
krill race, just something like 1 weekly krillroll for anybody who collect 100 or 200 krill for the time period.

I know your main focus is still on a software, but give it some thought.

  
 
 

Why the breaks bother you? Some people like go to the bathroom or a smoke a cigarette.

Down for me
