[April Fools] Replacing the merit system

[babo]

sorry, the game is very nice and also very well made
I wonder, does it make sense to leave it in the forum forever? I don't think it could cause security problems or annoyances to the forum (or does it?)
I haven't read the whole thread and all the replies, but I think it's very cute and it makes sense to keep it.

[Steamtyme]

WTF
I pop in and see poker in the tab sit down for fun and they leave.
Not gonna read everything but kudos to thermos for keeping things unexpected around here.
I do wonder if he still holds the BTC from the before my time Poker tournament

Used to think, wish I had been there, but I prob would have donked it off against a bot

  Hello friends,

     it seems that today is the last day of the month,
...and maybe we will no longer see the Bitcoin Talk poker table, ...
..a joke to celebrate a date, caused scares,
and as the month went by it generated joy for many users of the site....
..
 .In the first few days I had little opportunity to play, but in the last two weeks,
 I had more time, and whenever I had him and was around, I sat at the table and
waited for some player to show up...
It wasn't every day, but there was always someone playing especially at night...
some would actually sit down to play,
others would just sit down to collect some pMerits and leave as soon as they could,hehehee....
 but it doesn't matter, the important thing was a lot of fun.
...
I still don't know if this table will stay here on the forum.
If it's not going to stay, I understand, because maybe poker has nothing to do with bitcoin...
...but if she is not going to stay because she does not have a place for her, here is a suggestion... hehehe>>>

.
I'm also going to leave here some 'prints' that I made of the few times that a bonus appeared, o_e_l_e_o

.

.
 I also put a scribble that I made here...
.
It's just one more thing about the score if the game by a luck of fate, it stays here...

Every time the player loses the entire bankroll, after ten minutes, he can come back with 1000 pmerits...
 that's fine, but I think that to be fair, it should be filed that this one owes 1000pM home,
 and as soon as he manages to recover the 1000 that the house lent him,
the house takes the 1000 back and he keeps only what he really got...
and if he keeps zeroing, this will be counted, and every time he loses everything, it has to be counted and archived, until the player recovers, and nothing prevents the house from lending to him, just to have the player's real score, in addition, when will the tournament be hehehe...

I'm glad you enjoyed it! But I will be taking it down in roughly 12 hours.

Thanks for the info, I was very happy playing poker here,
  Thank you Theymos for allowing this  "April's fool month's cool"..
...
  I also saw on this last day that you also have a hot foot, maybe that's why they called you thermos...

Noooo!

It has been really fun playing poker with everyone, and it let me connect with people in a different way through the forum. A friendly game of poker definitely has the power to bring people together in a fun and unique way.

PG (PowerGlove) did an awesome job on the game itself, and continually kept improving it throughout April. Given the amount of time spent on everything, it is tough for me seeing it go. But a big thanks to theymos for keeping it going this long!

I still think it would be cool to see a monthly or yearly freeroll tournament with small BTC prizes for winners, but I'm probably getting carried away.

(also, shameless plug!)
Remember to check out the cool collector's deck & set I created to commemorate this awesome event!

[theymos]

Thanks for playing, everyone! I was excited to be able to see an o_e_l_e_o with ESG and PowerGlove yesterday.

Below are the final scores. A day or two after the end of the main event, all pMerit balances were cleared, but after that, there were no other pMerit adjustments. Since all of the bugs were also worked out by this point, these scores are probably more representative of actual skill (and/or persistence) than the scores after the main event.

ESG wrecked me last night I would have been in the 1600s but he got the best of me on one single hand hahaha. Thanks Theymos for an epic April Fools prank. I do hope this game comes back at some point

[Hatchy]

Thanks for playing, everyone! I was excited to be able to see an o_e_l_e_o with ESG and PowerGlove yesterday.

Thanks @theymos and powerglove for making this year's month of April a better fool month. I'm hoping you guys come up with a more interesting one next year's April fool... Cheers to Bitcointalk poker players..

@tread93 no wonder each time you come onboard and you see @ESG you hardly stay for long and when you win you run as fast as you can🤣, yesterday ESG and Ibminer are the ones who finished my pmerit, tried to get back at them but couldn't and PGlove made a sound that whenever I lose it scream, like I'm the only one to hear that maybe it was meant for me 🤔couldn't stand that screaming sound but all the same kudos to PowerGlove and the real goat in this game ESG...

Ugh I am kicking myself now I could have had a decent ranking, I was joking with ESG how its the last day yesterday and so I went nearly all in on this one hand which If I remember correctly I had a straight and he had a flush and I was so mad hahahhahha. It was such good fun though. I played a few rounds with PowerGlove and Ibminer, Chibity, but mostly with you Liz and ESG! Also there was someone else that I cant quite remember their name but they were also there quite a bit hmmmmmm. Anyhow, I am getting my collectible card deck and display set of this collectible from Ibminer and can't wait to get it. Do we know if this game will ever be playable again?  ♥

That was the same way ESG felt when you go off like that and you did that to me too. ESG had a target which I believe he met before the end of the game that's why he's on top, each time I go off and back on he'll be their waiting for whoever will show up for him to start drilling off his or her pmerit. It was fun, how I wish the game would stay a little bit longer like a day or two because I'm not done with Ibminer and ESG, these guys were all over my pmerit, without mercy and I have to go off and wait for sometime to get back at them but they're too good especially ESG.
For me I'd suggest for this game to be part of the Forum, don't know how that would work but it would be nice for it to still be around, really want to be better in the game because losing too much itches my fingers, want to stay above ESG.

[famososMuertos]

Poker is, above all, a social thing, even if it doesn't seem like it. It was unbelievable to share a few hands with legends of this forum.

#WSOP_BTT:Sooner or early... 

[Smartvirus]

I didn’t take much on the table myself but, I liked the initiative of having a fun thing around. At the very least I think this to have been an initiative that ought to have stayed. Perhaps not on the home page like we had it but, we did have a “Games and Rounds” sub board where it could have fit just perfectly. For those who found a lot of fun in it, it wouldn’t have been difficult finding their way there and have it pinned.
It was a nice way for some community integration and scores could be settled there too with fun time.

Yeah. I wish that it could stuck around too! I was also hoping that Theymos was going to post some stats like the lifetime chips made and lost on the account and largest pot won and things like this but I bet they didn't even track those stats anyways. It sure was fun though! What a great game and I hope that it does come back at some point in the future...
