With the largest crowd to date, Antgman and Latisha won the Friday night Partners' Euchre Tourney by beating out Runners-up, Kadena and Ladeen. The two players are old partners and Antgman stepped in and parded with Latisha (whom some of you might know as Tis) when Jimbo had to work and was unable to play!! They did a great job too!! Both of their nicknames are from their actual names . . . we all know about Latisha's name (she and Jimbo won this tourney once before and the other interview can be found in the archives under the date January 23, 1998) . . . Antgman's name comes from his first name Anthony and his last initial G!! ;))) According to Tis, "I try to get in WW when I can and enjoy playing with Ant. He is a very good player and lots of fun!" Latisha has decided for this interview that she's single . . . LOL!!! She has one son and lives in New York!! Antg is from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania originally and lives in New Castle area now. When I asked what he does to pay for his online time, Tis answered, "He'll be arrested if he tells you that!!! LOL!!" But the truth is, he's a machine operator . . . a 1228 transline . . . we're not exactly sure what this is BUT it sure sounds BIG!!! LOL!!! When we explained our ignorance, Antg did explain that it has something to do with a printing press and corrugated boxes!! His general advice is "Don't say sh*t in WW!!" He's been kicked a LOT for that infraction . . . it's where his new favorite word, welnochit came from!!! ;))) He did clue us in . . . "You can say ass!!" LOL!! Tis explained their playing method, "We didn't talk......played the cards the way they fell!" (Like we're all supposed to believe that Tis didn't talk??? COME ON!!! LOL!!) She went on to say, " The cards were on our side . . . we had some good cards!!" Antg claimed the secret of their success was, "We had a job to do, we came, we saw, we conquered!" He was our first interviewee who turned the tables on us and started interviewing US by the end of the conversation . . . we're STILL trying to figure out how he did that!!! LOL!!! His parting words for the newsletter were, "I like privacy, naked women, and good bud!!" After being stuck in the chatroom last time, Tis' warning to her pard was, "Be careful pard...they get you in here and won't let you back out...lollol!!" Her advice to all the women out there was, "Well....It always helps to play naked....I find that the opps, if male tend to be very generous with the giving of points!!" LOL!! Nice playing you two . . . way to go!! ;))) |

Greggor and Dee won the consolation tourney by scoring a win over MasterGus and Lovtoplay in a long hard-fought battle. Dee had to run to work and we're still waiting on her answers for the interview . . . so we only have Greggor's section for now. They have been playing together for about one month now. Greggor got his nickname from his real name Gregg . . . his normal nickname is GreggTN . . . but for some reason it's not been working properly of late! His important question for the night was, "Who do I have to see to get my nickname back?" (Don't worry Pammy . . . we pointed him your general direction!! LOL!!) Gregg is 53 years old, lives in Sudbury, Mass., and he builds space electronics. AMAZING!! This guy really is a rocket scientist!!! LOL!!! He says what he makes has to work because he can't go up there and fix it!! ;) He's originally from California but he says his heart is in Tennessee!! He's been playing euchre online from the early days of INN (ImagiNation Network). He says the secret of their success is, "We just play well together I am kinda aggressive and my pard helps a lot! You gotta trust your pard :)" Greggor is single and liking it for the time being! He ended the interview by thanking us all for himself and for Dee!! Congratulations you two!! |

DREAM OPTIONS
If I were to dream long and hard about the perfectly programmed euchre site, these are the changes you would see in GPP:
THE TRULY PRIVATE MESSAGING- The rolling chat can remain, but the intimacy, the homey feeling, of any online site comes from one on one conversations you'll never see in public view. Who really prefers the public chat screen? Come on, raise your hands. Who can compete with it on tourney nights? What we need is the option to highlight any number of names and send a private screen to just those people. No more starting a game and waiting while tables fill around you, as your confidence wanes and you begin sniffing your arm pits. Now you can set up your games under the veil of privacy. Rejections are no longer silent, but neither will they be obvious. You'll never again be saddled with a pard your host selects. You can do a little scouting around before submitting your approval for invite.
THE MESSAGE MERGE - In addition to the private message option, there must be a "couple" button. Once this option is discovered by your mate... you WILL be forced to use it. The couple button merges all your sent and received messages with their screen. If you see, "Hey stud, free for a game?", so will your partner. If you RESPOND to that message, it better be something like.. "I yam goig a play Uker with my lovey pard now now so willnot be free to play yna games with others peples ty." That pretty much shows your partner your sincerity and damn well guarantees no further messaging from that babe!
THE PROFILE- OK... so now you can privately select your game. Next is slow perusing of information that's going to be the basis for this selection. Enough of this M/40/AZ/single/AAA 9th step/3 generations of euchre players. The profile option should show all this and more. No more guessing. Let's get down and personal here and get to know one another with a little daily additional screen that you must update each time you log on to GPP titled "How my day's going so far". This form should pop up right before your password screen. On it you would add such things as: "Husband's been on my back all night, don't start any crap with me tonight." OR "On my third beer and have no intention of stopping." OR "The baby's teething so I'll tell you RIGHT now I'll be getting up from the game a lot." OR "I haven't had a decent hand in three nights so if you go alone when you are already winning 9-1 tonight, I will find out where you live."
SKILL LEVELS- What determines your skill level? You? haaaaaaaaaaaaa! Rather than mark one box on a scale of 1-10 on how you'd rate yourself, I propose a skill level form with such questions as: "If you have first lead, your team called trump, which would you lead" __ ace __ trump. "Will you try a loner with no bowers " __ yes __ no. "Do you actually rely on your partner for one trick when you call it?" __yes __ no. "Do you frequently interpret lag as a hesitation?" ___ yes __ no. Etc. Based on this information, your prospective partner can make an informed choice as to your compatibility to their style of play and vice versa. We'll have to change the name of this option from Skill Level to Adaptability Potential.
DISPOSITION- The profile will include more than just a clue to your disposition. No.. we don't want to know if you are cheerful or half-full versus half-empty. Another form: "Do you stop chatting when you are losing?" __ yes __ no. "Do you kick and/or bite?" __yes __no. "Have you shared your slanted view of another player's abilities (no specifying WHICH abilities) with another player?" __yes __no. "What's your average number or BRB's in any two-game set?" ___. "Are you currently on the rebound?" (This includes cyber-relationships) __ yes __ no. "Do you have any prison pen-pals?" __yes __ no. "What's the average number of times you hit a wav button in any given game?" ___. "Are you on the make?" __ yes __ no. "Which drugs are currently in your system?"__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.
THE IMAGE- Now we move on to the good part, the cartoon image of yourself. This is where you can portray the "you" you always wanted... OR.. hell.. you could try for the real thing. The Imagemaker in my imagination has all you could ever need to give everyone a healthy dose of reality. Included will be all the basics... hair styles, coloring, shapes and sizes. What will be premo to this particular imagemaker is the subtle additions. A paint program will be available for you to add all the realistic details.. scars, moles, zits, teeth gaps, shaving nicks, hairless patches, lip prints left by grandma, etc. The hair option will recede hairlines to 30 different degrees. Paunches can also be expanded to various levels.. as can other noticeable body parts.... say... um... like the swollen knuckle on your right hand. This detailing will be so fine tuned we'll know if you had lettuce for lunch. You'll be able to droop one eyelid, flair your nostrils on those aggressive nights, pout, glare, and rouge in a sore nose during flu season. We'll really get to know you.
Step two: Dressing your framework. All manner of attire will be include in this database and you will be absolutely required to change your image's clothing before each day's log-on. All major clothing houses will be consulted frequently. Free downloads of the latest fashions will be available monthly at a specified web site. You can dress as you are really sitting at your monitor or go with the wrappings that best exhibit your current mood. Everything from bathing suits to tuxedos, sweats to teddies. This is shaping up to be FUN, isn't it???? We'll even include emblems from every major school, pro team, beer company, cycle shop, vacation spot and major designer.
Next and finally, the extraordinary accessories. This will include casts, Band-Aids, headphones, nose rings, bulging billfolds, realistic size purses, obvious engagement rings, belly rubies, cufflinks, handcuffs, whips, collars and leashes, just to name a few.
COLOR CODING- We haven't even entered the game yet and we're still having fun. With a touch of a button, names will highlight under the following color codes. Pabst Blue will show if any top ten ladder player is in the room. Coward Yellow will highlight players that have a history of crashing out of games when losing and not returning. Go Go GO Green (please) will identify any player with a lagging server signal. Flush Red will earmark any player that marked "naked" under their clothing option for that night, and Near Invisible White will wash out the name of any player tagged with a 3 or higher number in the next category.....
WAITING NUMERS- When you begin a new table, a number will appear next to your name according to how many tables were already waiting for players when you hit the host button. If you are the first to host a new table, you'll carry a 1. If two tables are still waiting to be filled, you'll have a posted 3. Host hogs will be washed out in color coding while simple peer pressure will force players to fill tables that have been waiting the longest.
You've chosen your partner, taken a good
look at the people you're going up against and gotten to know a neighbor
or too. Now it's time to go into the game and see what new options have
been added there! Ooops, that's next week's article. Until then......dream
on!
We had our largest turn out ever last Friday
and want to thank everyone for their cooperation!! It's not easy assigning
that many tables and . . . just when you think all the assigning is finished
for a minute or two . . . some of the games are already over and you have
to start in again!! LOL!! But seriously everyone . . . it would make our
jobs a LOT easier if you would sign up in advance . . . so why not do it
while you're reading this and don't forget to answer the Top Ten Question
while you're signing up!! This week's question is . . . "What's the
best (or worst) excuse you ever made so you can play euchre on the computer?"
Until next week, take care everyone and may the Euchre Gods smile down
upon you!!! ;)))
