the only way you see Janylnnv winning all the time is because I seen her name in both blackout rooms and yet in patterns yet I can only enter one room at a time how does she do it? That's very unfair to other players yet other players do it to and they know who they are

For The Record....once person leaves room they in, to others who stay will show them still in til you yourself leave room and refresh it couple of times..hopefully chris will expalin it better after the holiday weekend..cuz sometimes it appears folks in 2 rooms when they really arent but we havent refreshed the room to see that they actually did leave..he needs to find something to say like when we come in, that we have left the building lol....sometimes if are actually cheating name will stay in both rooms for more than 2 refreshes...is possible that they came back in in that time frame too so hard to tell. maybe he needs to go back to just 1 room so isnt jumpin cept for free rooms who knows is just a thought..

You know something was said this morning that really ticked me off.  And i will quote what was said in a minute.  But if you are not refreshing all the time you will see the names in a couple of rooms.  For one I am sick of all this crap about cheating.  Chris said he has room watchers and they can tell if you are cheating or not.  and to call someone a cheater basically is what dk did to Jan this morning by saying and I quote because chab won he said"Finally someone won besides Jan" and then followed it with "just wondering how someone who is always accusing peeps of cheating is the one who is always winning lmao"  Now if that is not calling someone a cheater i don't know what is.  and then turned it right around to fit his own needs.  Chris you really need to stop this.  Jan and I and anyone else who has high scores does it by hopping around from room to room.  So that isn't wrong.

Don't know why you had to start it in the first place Chab.  You know darn well Jan isn't Chris's mom so why say something if you know it isn't true.  Thats how crap starts.  Must have a guilty consionces. (sp)

Oh and if Chris takes us down to where we can only be in one room and can't room hop you can take the blame all on your own for starting this!!!!!!!

In my opinion ... This is BINGO and not a game called room hopping. Shows who's really into the games or who's into just trying to get a small buck. And it does get annoying seeing room hoppers! PeggyJean

That's just my point. when I see someone join, I may say hello and start a conversation with someone but they are not there so when they join again I have to retype everything I had already typed. I do not believe there are cheaters here, like I said before it just gets annoying.

I think that all of the turmoil here is the result of accusations past and present - which just furthers my belief that it is not okay to accuse players publicly.  I don't expect everyone to get along - but on the other hand I have witnessed all of you getting along and you have to admit that it makes the environment more enjoyable.

There are many valid points here and I understand where everyone is coming from.   There is a good way to determine whether players are room hopping or playing in multiple rooms.  I'll set up a system where volunteers can monitor and clear players names.  I'll post a news item soon with more details.  Until then, players should be given the benefit of the doubt and any accusations should be passed on to me and left at that.

Room hopping does offer a significant advantage to the players that do it.  I'm amazed that there are players willing to commit the time - but some people are competitive and I can't fault them for that.  I still welcome your feedback and will continue to evolve the game toward what I think is in the best interest of the community on the whole.

I used to let players play in multiple rooms.  The primary problem was that I received many complaints from players with systems that could not handle it.

Yes, I think that room hopping offers too large of an advantage.  I have a few options at my disposal to try to balance the tournament - but none are perfect.  At the moment, I don't consider banning room hopping to be a viable option since, with this software, it is too difficult to enforce.  I acknowledge that it is in the best interest of the majority of players that I address this problem - but I have not decided on a solution.  This is a busy time of year for me, so I'd like to do something by December - but i might not be able to fully address this until January depending on how complicated the best solution is.

Just because we are not hopping all the time does not mean we are not here. Some of us think it is unfair to do this. Especially entering the same game over and over until you get the cards you want.

mombug and angel have a high point.  Because.  it isn't fair. If you look at the winners list for the last 2 months the room hoppers are 96% of the winners. It doesn't give us a chance of winning. So like CLC did last week. Run to the game for the first 2 days if all the room hoppers are at the top of the list again. Then there's no chance of winning. But still I will be on the active players list. So I am just shutting it down until the cash games and maybe I can at least win some cash because they cannot jump in the cash games. I really think that once more become aware of why the same winners are winner over and over, they also may feel whats the since of staying hooked everyday all day. Just come back on Thursday and Fridays for cash games. I am sorry bingoadvantage but I really hope you do come up with a solution soon. Because again it is not FAIR! 

I think all of this has gotten way out of hand I was only stating an opinion,after all thats what being an american is all about, our freedoms,freedom to be able to give an opinion,that statement was not aimed at any one person or group of people it was just an opinion.Yes I have been guilty of hopping also but without the time to do it continuously it was in vain so i gave up, also about being there and not saying anything it is very hard to have a conversation with people who r not there long enuf to respond,either way.When I first came here it was to play a little bingo and make new friends after all thats what i was led to believe that this site is all about,it wasn't supposed to be about winning or losing it was a place to escape whatever life handed to us that day,My wish for all of us is that we can move past ALL of this and get back to what it was meant to be.

Again someone speaks their oppion and it gets blown out of hand.  What the hell is the forum for if you can't speak your oppion.  I don't always have time to room hop either but it gets boring staying in the same room with the same winners on the other hand.  Come on peeps let the hoppers hop and let the people who stay in one room and say nothing when someone says wtg stay in the room.  I have gotten so i don't even say wtg hardly unless it is in the tourneys cause i usually know they are their.  Since they signed themselves in.  But everytime something is said it gets blown out of proportion.  Chris said before that he glad he had players that took the time to hop and play and it is a form of competitive competition.  That's just my feeling on it.  Too much Drama.
