Drifjer - the registration drifter






When I first started poking around Full Tilt's selection of "Mixed" games I hit upon a slighlty bizarre registration screen. 10 different 7-game 2k buy in tables. One has 2 entrants, 8 have one entrant and one has zero entrants. I would have enjoyed a game of this as a pleasant change of pace and I said to myself, "Self, exactly why are you talking to yourself?" I answered myself by saying, "Because my tenuous grasp upon reality has finally snapped and tired of counting the cracks in my living room ceiling I needed a new outlet."

After the recent earthquakes the one crack in the ceiling has made it's way down to the electrical outlet, hence the need for a new outlet.

Putting this incident behind me I resolved to put to the test on the logic for this. Let's assume there are ten players interested in a refreshing battle of wits on a 7-game table. They seat 8, so why wouldn't these people all jump onto the same table and do battle? Checking the registrants, the two players on the one table have names so profane that my Grandmother will not allow me to mention what they are. The tables with one player are all occupied by the same soul. Must be some kind of 7-game expert that is willing to play on multiple tables.

Drifjer, drifjing around like a piece of drifjwood looking for a game while working on his banking on-line getting overdrifjt protection because he doesn't want to take care of the drifjt in the house because of old windows has logged into a bunch of tables.

Let's review the reasonableness of this. Due to complex legal reasons drifjer will be referred to as "Driffy".

1) Driffy avoided registering for the table with the other two players on it.
2) 65k players online at the time, and it's pretty obvious 7-game isn't that popular. Having one table fill up in a reasonable amount of time is a miracle, much less have 8 tables fill up.
3) There is no point 3. 1 and 2 are all that we need to know.

Driffy is exhibiting signs of being extremely strung out on drugs, or a confused piece of AI that hasn't figured out how to register for other games that play will actually start on.

As I type this it's a shade before 7pm EST. Full Tilt has two hours before I log in again and check to see if Driffy is still adrfjt.
