Merry Christmas everyone, except oej719!

Yup. Tired of it.I guess we just need a rule that you can't claim "victory" over people without actually offering any sort of meaningful argument. And you can't defend the meaningless "victories" and "smackdowns" and "beatdowns" supposedly brought by other people who have been foolish without offering any reason why they were right, even though they were obviously disproved in whatever it was they were attempting to prove.

I think it's called reflectionary logic.

new years resolution for 2010 lets keep the posts constructive to help vp and other players improve results like finding better paytables better play and other ways to save money and get more joy from the money spent. all of this will help all of us whom want to improve results as none of us are 100% perfect 100% of the time. and most of all lets all get more royals in vp and life

It was a gripping read - full of suspense, conflict and drama. The character development was masterful. The thing is, I don't have any idea what it was about. Maybe when the movie version comes out ...

Ok, guys and gals, I get it.  I accept my 11% of the blame.  If my first count is accurate, I made around 19 of the first 174 posts (20 of the first 175 if you count this one; I didn't count the total number but I think the forum shows the current number of posts in each thread).  You may not agree, but I did show restraint in not making any posts until the first 5 pages had gone by and a few others had tried their hand at resolution.  I probably didn't help to resolve anything, but after the 2nd post, I seemed to be in a tarbaby that just wouldn't let go (there were so many opportunities for great lines; but I'm sure opinions there vary also).I know some of you may want me to take more than 11% of the blame, because you want to count words rather than posts.  I guess it is perhaps possible that the number of words in a typical post of mine were a tiny bit higher than the average of the other posters, but I think I'll stick with my original measure for now.I apologize for my 11%.

  I will take 9% of the blame, bringing the total to20%. I figure it to be 9% because New2vp has a mathematical advantage over me, yes I am big enought to adimt it, hence his number is bigger than mine. I also concur with my learned friend as we got sucked in to a tarbaby and at some point it was almost as easy as shooting fish in a barrel. I didn't count the number of posts I made in this thread but because it is the holiday season I'll stay with shouldering 9% of the blame.
 
  Sorry Shadowman for what happened tonight with the Bears but it just goes to show you that even a blind dog finds a bone every now and then.

(This one is both to acknowledge Ted's humor and reduce my average words per post)

Was Johnnylong (or sin-ger as you like to call him) banned from this site?
I can't recall in the last week a time this many days have gone by without hearing from him....

Acceptance of blame by percentage and number of posts? well I did make a few. Percentage of blame? Dunno Don Ho! One of littlejohns last posts blamed/accused me of things I had nothing to do with. A trait similar to that of scorpiodude and pianoseaweed man 123.

  Vido, you'll notice a pattern of posting unique to your Grand Canyon state neighbor and his shills/reflections. Always the same innocent question or comment about how rs is different from all the others and why his methods are so different from using optimum play methods. If you haven't already, look up the word "martingale" and you'll get a clear picture of what it is that Bob Argentino/ r sin-ger is so desperately trying to sell. When things get dead at his non-truth site (no mention of VP.com in his last e-letter) he recruits a new shill to go beat a dead horse and get OEJ fired up. More and more forum users begin to see through the quagmire he creates.

  In closing, I'll say that the RNG's aren't tainted, the machines are in fact random and fair, and the guy is an idiot and should be committed as 5150.  There are no secret plays or patterns unique to the VP machines. I've read enough and learned from articles and the other forum members to see that for myself. That many knowledgeable users can't be wrong. With a scant 48 hours til the new decade, let us "reflect" back on the past year and "sing" a new tune in the coming one. Good luck everyone and Happy New Years wherever you may reside.
