CORDIAL MINUET ENSEMBLE

AnoHito,

I appreciate your concern I guess....you put me in an awkward position here, there are very few ways I can respond without looking like a jerk.

Would you feel better if I were a multi-millionaire?  If so, let's just assume that's the case without me actually having to say it.  By the way, some of these theoretical millions were earned by doing things some people deemed "utterly foolish acts."

Also, I'm not sure where you get off declaring a certain dollar amount to be the official threshold where charity begins.  Nor do you know what my charitable contributions look like. If you lost three dollars playing CM, should I suggest the money be better be put to use buying a hamburger for a hungry person?

Ok, I can't help myself, I'm going to be a jerk...why don't you tell me your annual salary/net worth, we can use that as the denominator.  Your CM wagers and charitable contributions can be the numerators...  Let me know what you come up with and we will compare notes and see who is really being the most irresponsible.

PS I just put another $300, that I will probably donate to "Nate's Kids" out of spite.

I thought I just funded it!  My poor gambling skills have a long history of funding lots of projects - if you ever go to Las Vegas, check out the Wynn Casino and hotel - I think I paid for one of the towers.

And yes, I think I was finally figuring out how to play this game and you disappeared

I got my your PM, I will give you a call.  I am working on my own game on the side as well.  Well, calling it my own game is a stretch, I am working a reboot of the Jason's The Castle Doctrine (my all time favorite game), the reboot is called Terminal Heist.  It's based on the TCD source code, but works on mobile devices, has a more family friendly space theme, a single player puzzle/tutorial mode and has some other changes.

I think I should get my name changed to No-Judgement Doormat

Yeah, Nate is beating handily and I'm actually trying to win this time.  I am still learning though...hopefully I will give him something of a challenge here eventually... Good on you Nate!

I have a CS degree and started out as a programmer. I am executive in a start up now, and have had a few successful startups in the past.

No need to apologize, I didn't read your post as "jerky" at all.  I was playing badly and you have every right to crow about it, I just wanted you to know the reason.

I am Judge Doorman.

Anyway, before you sprain your arm patting yourself on your back, I was intentionally playing as poorly as I could to see if I could get a player to play high stakes with me.  This was of course before I realized that the $500 cap was not just on a per deposit basis, but total.  Anyway, I am neither drunk nor an idiot, just a guy doing an experiment.  I will be back on playing high stakes once I get my limit raised.  To be clear, I am not claiming I am in anyway good at this game, but you were playing someone that was trying to lose in this instance.

Enjoy the winnings, and happy new year!
