I'm not one to fire up negative posts very often, but this time I'm deeply pissed off.
"Furious" is probably a more accurate term.
For some reason that nobody is talking about, folks in a handful of specific U.S. States are not allowed to join the party at clubUBT.com. Including my own! All of that promotion and carrying on about how this was going to be such a great site for online EBJ players, with all the benefits, and not one word about some of us being locked out. This means that at least two of their past online champions are now forbidden to play the cash & prizes games. We can slug it out in the trenches for any Win-A-TV-Seat games, but that's it.
Most of you know that I've very rarely been critical of the UBT, other than their largest and most glaring problem - Communication! If, as I suspect, there's some State Law problems, that should have been exposed a long time ago. The players from the forbidden states were not told until they downloaded the game, and THEN get a message about being unable to participate. No explanation of why, just a quick note about having an ineligible address - and that's it. I'd even got a number of emails from clubUBT yammering about starting dates and prizes and other blah blah - but nothing about how my choice of residence was going to screw me out of any chance to play.
It takes a lot to set me off, but this episode did an absolutely stellar job of it. :flame: :flame: :flame:
