I signed off earlier because I snuck on the govt computer with my cac card while on a break. Bear with me now as I post via my blackberry.
For the record, I was ok with the initial ruling that the poker game was posted after midnight. The fact that we couldn't figure out how to make a room then make the room private, and had to keep kicking players out were not obstacles we anticipated. I even got cursed out by a random yahoo poker player for booting them.
All that aside, we were done by the alloted time but the cap wasn't , which is what the rule asked for. I didn't argue it, nor did watson. If we'd wanted to cheat I couldve simply set the clock back on my computer, screencapped and posted a pic of my entire screen but it wasn't needed nor would we do that.
All that cast aside, I placed badger in exile well cause, after all the whining I thought 'why not stir up the pot some more'. I put him in there so we don't have to wait a while 24 hours for his vote too.
