Fucking George is trying to kill this forum. We all tried to keep the people with little k afloat so they could bet daily. Now GS pulls this shit. I think it sucks. I may have to reconsider my "all in" on Phillies games for the rest of the season.

what's the new system?

what's the new system?

K hits cost you the % amount of your k power. I can't host any more events if I can't make back my losses.

WTF maaannnn, this sucks

i mean it is sooo much fun being in this forum, and if i didnt get hits from power hitters i wouldnt have anything to bet..........i doled out as much K as i could've and now this....

whatever, i wont let it spoil my time here, i'll still play and hit, but it doesnt cost me much, on the other hand other guys with bigger K power will take bigger loses......

anyway, i think the new system sucks, and not many people will benefit from it

There isn't even a message to explain what has happened. My k power is on 0. What else changed?

 

[UrlMighty]

I tried the casino. Everything seems to be broken and hangs with a message about transferring data.

What are the new stats requirements to have karma power again?

 

[UrlMighty]

If I follow this right my k days are over unless I go plat

here you go


This week, EliteFitness.com Karma gets cooler than ever! Here's the exciting changes that are on the way. And if you don't know what Karma is, read on - I'll explain that too.

First off, I'm proud to introduce the new Platinum Casino (beta). The casino is open for all our members both Platinum and non-Platinum. You can play Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, Keno, Video Poker, and Slots - all with your Karma Hits. Here's a link to start having fun in the new Platinum Casino (beta) right now!

There's more good news! Now, Platinum Members get even more Karma every time their Platinum Membership renews. Each month that you pay for gets you 5,000 Karma Hits! So for example, if you buy three months and get the fourth month free, you'll get 20,000 Karma Hits when you join and 20,000 more every four months when your membership renews. The more months you buy at once, the more free months and Karma you get! For example, buy a one year Platinum Membership and get 7 months free plus 95,000 Karma Hits - that's 5,000 for each month.

We also lowered the price of Karma in the Karma store. Here's what you get now!

Get 5,000 Hits plus a 5,000 Platinum Bonus - Your Price: $9.97 (billed only once)
Get - 20,000 Hits plus a 20,000 Platinum Bonus - Your Price: $19.97 (billed only once)
Get - 50,000 Hits plus a 50,000 Platinum Bonus - Your Price: $39.97 (billed only once)
Get - 150,000 Hits plus a 150,000 Platinum Bonus! - Your Price: $98.97 (billed only once)
Get - 30,000 Hits plus a 30,000 Platinum Bonus - Billed Month to Month - Your Price: $19.97

Here's another change that is probably going to be controversial, but will stop Karma Ponzi schemes and Karma Whoring. When you give someone Karma, you are giving them your own Karma, not minting more. Remember, since you get much more on Platinum Membership renewals and since it now costs much less if you buy it, this will be less of a sting. Non-Plats, would have 2 x Karmic Power subtracted from their total Karma Hits. Another thing to remember is that Plats can still hit for between 10% and 110% of Karmic Power, so if you are Plat, and you want to reward someone for a quality post, you can hit as little as 10% of your Karmic Power and won't feel a big dent in your war chest. Those with 0 Karmic Power would hit gray like they do now. This should also help us get back to hitting members only when they post something that is really quality. Things remain the same for Chairman Members including their hitting for 200% Karmic Power.

Everyone needs to be able to have fun with Karma immediately when they join EF, so we raised the number of hits you get when you register from 10 to 100. Also, now, everyone needs 5,000 karma hits before your Karma counts on other members plus, for every 10,000 Karma Hits for non-Plats and 5,000 Karma Hits for Plats, members gain 1 point of Karmic power.

Last but not least, we are opening Karma Poker - where you will be able to play Texas Holdem with the other members of EF. I'll send you a new PM when that goes live! And I'll see you on the forums!

Yours in sport,
