    Was playing on PPP last nite, when one of the Hosts contacted me, and asked if I was hungry. They asked if I would like a pizza, some drink etc.

    About 20 minutes later a guy from Four Star Pizza was standing at my door with a nice big Pizza, Garlic Bread, Wedges and a Coke.

    Nice touch.

    That's one of the slickest things I've ever heard, all they have to do now is to offer free beer and they're on to a winner :D
    I'd also like to see some free e20 bet vouchers and the like as runner up prizes in satellite tournaments. Still, good software and good servers.

    I have to say I am very impressed with Paddy Power Poker...I have been playing it a good bit this last week.


    PS:Tom my username is Paul Larkin feel free to send me pizza,hookers,coke or Hot Eastern European Lap dancers ( if you are sending the lap dancers give me an hour notice so I can get the other half out of the house)

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,476 ✭✭✭Samba


    lol the amount of people we tried to contact and they just closed off the chat!!

    Even after we had typed in, would you like a free pizza!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,476 ✭✭✭Samba


    Coming soon David


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 21,256 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dub13


    its a great idea...how many do you give out a week...?

    ps:it was very nice.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,476 ✭✭✭Samba


    a few people are picked randomly every evening as far as I am aware, will have to double check for you


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,387 ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    I wonder if we could do the same thing with beer :)

    Hey, where's MY pizza eh Johnny?! EH?!

    DeV.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 914 ✭✭✭PPP-Pit Boss


    Howdy all! Well yes we rather thought it would be amusing to give out free pizza.. so we pick a couple of people per evening and attempt to feed them. It is interesting though.. a lot of customers are VERY suspicious about it.. "what is the catch" "but what do I have to do for it?" Or they simply shut down chat before we have the chance to offer.. so tip of the day.. if you are online at PPP and an unexpected ping appears.. Don't shut it down, we are probably trying to give you stuff! As for the beer.. well I never.. gambling cussin and drinkin' won't somebody PLEASE think of the children!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 914 ✭✭✭PPP-Pit Boss


    I want to play on that Website. But there's no Macintosh client. :(
    Mac version of the client requires serious developement. However we have identified the requirement and it is on the devolopement wish list.. Cannot unfortunately give you a time line on it, but rest assured we are working on it and I will keep you posted!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 204 ✭✭Rodge


    Tomboy24 also likes to eat pizza but finds it ever so hard to break away from the poker to go get it. :D

    Can you download PPP on a dial up line or do you need Broadband?
    I tried to download it on a dial up and it froze after 5 minutes?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,387 ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Shouldnt be a problem to d/l it from the site on dialup.... if it fails for you again, I'd ring the support people.

    DeV.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,639 ✭✭✭Iago


    Slightly OT, Dev is there a full list of events and locations for the coming weekend or is it just the main event taking place?

    If there is a full list could you post it in a thread here somewhere, wouldn't mind having a go at some of the smaller events if they're on.

    cheers

    all the events are here, 100+10 freezout is go! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,387 ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Thaks Karl, but where do you see a 100+10 freezeout? I'd love to play a game like that because unless I have a good poker week (and its started out nicely) I just cant afford it. Is this a new addition to the lineup?
