The time should be 830e/530p with the lead in specialty game starting at 5. That way BT keeps the players in the east and the players in the west are able to make the premium but maybe not the specialty lead in. Player count in the east did rise a tiny bit with the earlier start. I think 830e/530p would combine the best of both worlds, and that's when SD started for many years with no issues from either coast.

What about starting the premium games at 5:30? This would give those of us in the west that get off at 5 time to get to the location, and the east would start at 8:30. I am open to whatever happens that does away with the split. If the west was at 5 I would probably just close my shop a few minutes earlier on team play nights.

I miss a lot of premium games during the week anyway and was thinking of the split ending more in terms of playing CD during nonpremium hours. Saturday and Sunday and later weekday nights would be much more fun if they were national. I'm aware some games are (Sunday afternoons) but I would like a lot more. Monday night my 9:00 and 9:30 CD games had 82 and 81 players.

Just remember when the dumbasses at Buzztime said, 'we would have MORE competition because of the split?'

I see you guys are at 1122 golds. Well done.
To think... you're only 366 golds away from the highest total that it took me and a whopping three buddies to achieve... :mrgreen:

Just kidding, Gambit. I know you're sensitive.

Is this another experiment like the DannyK winning 100 premium games deal from 2010?
What are you kids up to?

Sorry for the late reply... don't check this website as much as I used to. Several months ago LILJOL and LEWSER made it down to Rockin' Crepes to play with us on a Friday night, and everyone in attendance made "the Decision" to transfer our accounts to RC. We had planned on drawing out the suspense by regaling the world of the intense drama that led to such a momentous occasion, and then televise our final announcement to all our Buzztime fans, but then we realized no one gives a damn (except for maybe Bargo's, who we supplanted at #1).

Anyway, it's nice to know that the gold medal record is 1488. What the hell, I guess the SoCal team will break that one as well.

It's a big number, but I'm sure you guys can pull it off.
It didn't really feel that difficult to do when we did it; just a natural by-product of playing three days a week when the BT games were in the mix with CD games during the afternoon.
Of course, we didn't have one of the highest medal earners in the country playing practically everywhere but the bar itself feeding us hundreds of medals. That must be nice.
Good luck. Go get 'em.

Of course, we didn't have one of the highest medal earners in the country going around to everywhere but our bar feeding us hundreds of medals. That must be nice.

Well, hell. Nowadays, *not* everywhere.

FWIW, my last visit anywhere outside the west was way back in 2006, to Charlotte when BADBOB was still there. Due to my major distaste for flying

, it is highly unlikely that I'll ever go anywhere that's more than a day's drive away.

Yeah, I noticed a steady diet of Cali sites in your gameplay history, LJ. Curiosity got the better of me, so I was looking up how many of your 408 gold medals you had earned while actually playing at the RC.
It was a whopping 5, BTW.
I'm starting to doubt your brand loyalty... :mrgreen:

The biggest flaw in the bar rankings is that the gold medals are not necessarily accululated by the bar where they are earned. It's merely a ranking of bars whose members have won the most gold medals wherever they play.

Look out, SPOTES, all they have to do to beat your record is recruit a few more top performers to call RC home for a few days to beat your record. Did 86th St earn all theirs at home when they set the high mark?

There's some folks up in Edmonton with a whole slew of medals. Maybe they'd like to be Californicators for a while?

NTN really ought to fix that but it would probably entail a few lines of code and they probably think this works just fine anyway and ain't no one gonna complain except us annoying purists so why bother?

Really, comparing some cheating fucks to people who house their points at Rockin Crepes?

Just a quick note, on this side we can't earn medals for over a third of the day. While the East can earn them the full day. Last Friday the 9:30 CD game had 161 people, a 161 damn people (and I was 5 of them)! Let me repeat that ON A FRIDAY AT 9:30! Hell some specialty games we don't have enough people to earn medals.

I want to say that there had to be less than twenty gold medals that weren't earned at 86th Street.
That's assuming any Triviapalooza medals were still on there.
Twenty may be optimistic, given that the lag at those things means I usually come back with about a tenth of the gold medals that I would have gotten playing the same amount of time at my home bar. But at least at the TP events people bring me Dr. Pepper. Yay! So we'll call that one a push.
Our guys just never really played at other sites.

I get what you're saying about medal "integrity" but quite honestly I wasn't really worried about it. My apathy gene is far too dominant for that.
It's just a convenient topic to blow some crap their way. It's a hobby.
Norman had taxidermy. I have this.

Well, hell. Seems like more than a lil explaining from the OP as to what was meant by that is in order. :roll:

With standard time returning, I'd suggest that the Pacific and Mountain time zones may not be eligible for medals starting at 8 PM. That's blatantly unfair to us, especially given the imbalance of sites between both sides of the FSPLIT. :evil:

Well ILLJOL, BWW Gaithersburg MD tried to help out the qualifying box numbers for the west last night by joining in for a few games after the scrambled rounds Playback game.

We did see the site poor one on top with a 14600 at a Black Anus in El Cajon. There was plenty of players at that time, 2075, for a gold. However, as you know, your later 8pm possible gold only had 166 as the east was playing LS. Not that you needed a 410th gold. :roll:
