stars crash today

[captainpants]

Was anyone else playing today when stars crashed? What a joke, i was sitting there trying to log back on, when I finally did I just sat there watching all my tables with me sitting out unable to join and watching the few active players stealing the blinds & ante's. Then in their wisdom Stars decide to "fix the problem" and restart all tourneys as if nothing happened with some players stacks blinded down to nothing.

Have emailed support nothing yet.

This is the first time in months I've decided to play there coz I hate the site and today is def the final nail in the coffin for those idiots.

Chris Levick prediction, tho

Yeah it was a bad situation and a horrible decision by stars to not freeze all the tourneys as soon as the problem occurred.
Leaves a lot of questions unanswered ie-

-will the current placings stand considering the unfair advantage afforded to those that were still logged in?
-will the players that couldnt log in be compensated and if so how?
-will this affect leaderboards?

Considering this affected every single tourney/sng/cash game on stars in the middle of a WCOOP series means there is no easy fix for stars.
Some have suggested that the current placings should stand and ICM should be paid to everyone according to your chip stack when stars crashed as well, which would of course be a great result.
Considering the price of stars losing their credibility (specially during WCOOP), they may well be prudent in doing just that.

Hope they do the right thing
