    Hi Dad! Aren't you glad offspring don't count as ghosts?

    Hugs & kisses!

    moderator?

    Pags.............take no offense. The intent behind your name being mentioned was mere based on your poularity. We are all aware that you are you and could never split time being someone else. I could have used JJ as a reference but everyone knows he has a number of identities. I seriously doubt anyone here really thinks you are more than just Pags.

    It was mentioned that ghosts may be in the contests. In BTP, for example, how would this be possible? The prize goes to an actual account at a book where the name and info would have to match what sbr has.

    You don't think is easy going to my frat brothers and asking them to open up accounts where I can access them all and enter the contest with multiple identities and clean up the board. Or use grandma, uncle, cousin, etc?

    ok - I see what you mean. But I don't think it would be easy to get friends/relatives to open an account they have no interest in at Bodog , etc for the BTP . But you never know what people would have the nerve to ask others to do for them.

    I have no idea since I don't do the contest or anything but I do know human nature, and if there is a way to circumvent there are those that will. Not suggesting anyone here would do such a thing, just that it could be done and wouldn't be terribly difficult to do.

    This isn't what I was intending to get involved in though. I was merely wondering about ghosting ingeneral. I was board and looking for some inter-action that's all.

    I'm not creative enough to give daily or weekly perspectives on "Thing's I Don't Like" or power post or bash and hate. I just thought I would try and get a better understanding of ghosting.

    wal66,

    Basically it depends on the mods. They will let a ghost fly under the radar or ban immediately. There are no rules. It doesn't say anywhere in the rules you can't ghost. If you can't spot the ghosts then there is something wrong.

    wal,

    I understand what you are saying but would like the mods to verify that I have no ghosts to put this bullshit rumor to bed...have heard it for about the last four years...

    That part I wasn't aware of. I wouldn't have used you as an example had I known of such rumor unless provoked which obviously wasn't the case.

    wal,

    no sweat man...I spend enough time battling with other posters, posting my picks and researching games...I think you and most others know I don't have time for creating ghosts...

    With proxy IPs it wouldn't be difficult for anyone to ghost...even Pags.

    That should be "you're" for you are thin.

    And I didn't say you were. I just said it is technically possible. Google proxy IPs, luv, and you will see.

    I asked him once before when he corrected one of my post if he really wanted to play Grammar Police with me. He said yes.

    I don't like this because I am fitting into your descriptions of ghosts...

    pts compared to posts,
    placing third in beat lou contest, second in bodog football, and final four in NIT

    For the record (if anyone actually gives a shit, which I am doubting) I started in this forum about 4 or 5 months ago because i was interested in playing sbr poker and a friend recommended me to join. it hooked me, next thing i know i'm posting/betting/playing contests. Now i'm doing well in pts books and contests. If someone called me a ghost, it would be very wrong, but would actually serve as a compliment because it means people think I know what I'm doing!!

    Just anther perspective on the whole issue, from someone who hasn't been around for a while...

    Based on that, it's kind of amazing that the three of us are still friends.
