Hmm... I'm a bit late on the Christmas greetings. Probably on account of Christmas festivities! Well, let me be the first (on this site) to wish you all a Happy New Year! The new tournament is coming along, and we hope to have it ready in time to start at or before Summer Vacation.
As for this site, it will be going through automatic migration to the new ProBoards (v5) layout, so there may be some drastic changes to the site in terms of look and layout in the near future. I don't know quite what will happen with things like the backgrounds and whatnot, but I'll see what I can do to keep things running smoothly, at least for whatever things are still running.

So, Cyrus. It seems 10k has abandoned you in 10Cyville... Well, we can be pretty sure the Casino has been closed for good. Its death throes just lasted a bit longer than expected, is all. In other news, the tournament is definitely well on its way, and we're just playtesting at least the first few games to iron out all the kinks before opening up for registration. My hope is that registration will start around June this year, but I'll release more information closer to that time, when we know a bit more about everything. ((I'm posting this here in hopes the few people who still check from time to time happen to see it. I figure 10k and Cyrus will. Maybe Freih and Iain7? Alydar out, to return whenever I next feel like it. Or am summoned.))

That's awesome! June seems so far away, though. I guess that this is really the end of the Casino, then.... I don't know if I can remove it from my bookmark bar, though! I'll try to stop checking in, but I doubt I'll be able to stay away forever. At the very least, I'll be wandering these halls in spirit, waiting for the next big challenge.

More like I had popped on for the first time in forever, and you had disappeared from the recent users list. Still, the Casino's rather dead as it is...

Hmmm...I liked the old forum style better. It just "suits" the Casino, y'know?
Edit: 777 post.

I agree. That's why I delayed the swap as long as possible (it would have happened almost a year ago...), but this was a forced change. Well, it had to happen sometime. I only wish the "Recent Threads" link were near the TOP instead of near the BOTTOM... As a Dealer, I have to scroll past ALL the confessionals, and, well... it's a lot. >.< Nice pun, by the way. ;P ((Also, I don't like the new smileys. Look at the upside-down wink if you don't believe me. GAH!!! >.>))
((That, and the code for tables is now ATROCIOUS. The only good thing is that you can adjust the text in the preview, so you don't have to worry about the formatting then. But if you want to change any properties of the table... good lord, it's horrible.))

Whoa! Everything is all smooth and high-tech now. I figured this place would just be foreclosed on, guess I was wrong.

I like this style, but it's definitely not practical. At least the old hodden texts remain hidden If you open the regtration in June, when will the LGT happen? And if you have dealers, why don't you just use the games prepared for LGT3?

If you open the regtration in June, when will the LGT happen? And if you have dealers, why don't you just use the games prepared for LGT3? To your first question, it will likely start in July or August. It might start earlier if we decide to get registration started earlier, which may indeed happen. June is still four months off, and we might finish up what playtesting we want done by May or earlier. Whatever the case, I'll give more information when we know more specifics. We would like at least 36 players and will try to get that many, but we can deal with a bit fewer if need be. Still, starting date may be dependent on how long it takes to get players. To your second questions, there's definitely a reason for that. I for one would love to participate in LGT3 and those games, and foreknowledge of those games would mean I can't. I was in the midst of planning this tournament already when Nearco informed me that he could no longer do LGT3. However, my hope is that by the time we're finished this tournament, he'll be able to pick it up again, someone else will pick it up, or I'll pick it up with whoever deals with me. And whatever the case, we'll be ready to start LGT3 (or whatever we call it) when the upcoming tournament finishes, whether I'm a dealer or a player.
