[vpFREE] Hall of Fame stringent rules

The Hall of Fame has strange rules. The
nominations only come about every four years and you need at least 1/3 of the
vote to get in. If everybody casts a private ballot with more than a dozen
candidates, the odds are against any individual receiving that high of a
percentage.



The way to make sure that at
least one nominee receives at least 1/3 of the vote is for most of us to
announce our vote before we cast it --- see which of the one or two are
receiving the most announcements --- and then if one or both of those front-runners
are worthy of induction in your opinion --- vote for one of the two front-runners. A vote for a non-front-runner is a vote that makes it more difficult for ANY candidate to reach the 33% threshhold. This isn't "Democracy
in Action," as usually defined in the United States, but it is the way to get
it done in this particular Hall of Fame election.

I would
happily support the vpFREE Adminstrator if he would run. This forum has changed the
face of video poker, and basically he created it and runs it. He claims the
rules state that he is ineligible. Of course, the Administrator himself created
the rules for vpFREE. This means that he doesn't want the publicity. (I asked
him to be a guest on the Gambling with an Edge radio show and
he declined, citing the wish to maintain a private profile.) I respect his
wishes and am looking elsewhere for candidates.





I'm personally supporting Ernie
Moody --- the inventor of Triple Play --- and recommend you strongly consider him. Ernie started Action Gaming, later known
as videopoker.com, and that company has created a very high percentage of the
interesting new games in the past 15 years --- like Triple Play through Hundred
Play, Spin Poker, Super Times Pay, Quick Quads, Ultimate X, Wheel Poker, and a
large variety of other games. Nobody else has EVER introduced such a large
variety of interesting games in such a short period of time. Everybody has
their own opinion as to what games are the most fun, of course, but many of these
games rate high on my own "fun factor" list (especially Quick Quads and
Ultimate X), and if I'm given a choice between single line and multi-line for
the same pay schedule and denomination, I will ALWAYS pick the multi-line
version over the single line version. Your opinion might be different, of
course, but almost all of are glad that we at least HAVE that choice. Without Ernie Moody, we wouldn't.
