Honestly I can't think the reason for which the job isn't done yet can be found in lack of traffic.
We are talking to complete no more than 150 sngs I guess...as lot of you know Here we can play only in italian polerroom with italian players only....we can just dream the number of players of FT and I can say the job could be comfortably done in a week here.

Maybe the fire cooled down as Lukasb said.
Retribution can tell me if I'm wrong
I apologize guys, I know I set high expectations, but I was figuring that traffic would have picked up by now, allowing more volume. Yes I realize that I have an obligation to this, but it's not something I want to force. Sitting with FT for 2 hours to get 8 games in is hard to deal with, so yes you might say the "fire" has cooled down, just because it's hard to get motivated to waste 2 hours playing 1 tournament every 15-20 minutes.
I'm putting some volume in this evening, over the weekend, where I hope lot's of players will be on.
------------ Ugh, 2 hours to get 11 tournaments in. And during peak time. Hoping saturday will allow me to get more games in while the weekend fishies are on.
On a positive note, I fucking crushed it today. 11 games, lost 1 step 1 (to a lucky donk making a bad call of course) and won 4 step 2's, so catching up on some lost ground.
Again guys, I am sooooooo sorry this is taking so long to finish. When I initially set this up, I had no way of knowing it'd be so hard to get volume in. As for it only being 150 sngs, I actually anticipate that (variance aside) I could be looking at more like 200+ given once I hit step 2, I may end up taking rebuys for the previous level some of the time which means having to fight back up.
------------ I'd just like to point out, that I as well have a substantial amount of time AND money invested in this, so I'm in no position to give up I just hope ya'll can be patient with me.

that's ok this is a clear statement: it's what I was waiting for. Patience is not a problem, just wanted to know your actual thoughts about the whole thing.

Had a project come up that needed to be done asap, so spent last couple days on that, my apologies. Girlfriend comes back early tomorrow, so likely no poker this weekend

wow i got through the whole thing . just wanted to say good luck to you retribution i know you are a skilled player and have what it takes to turn this venture into a profit.
i do think it is going to take a while but it seems like your investors are fine with that and some good investors you have make sure to take in any advice they can offer as well mate .
looks like you are doing well though, can't wait till you start posting about the matrix tournys cause im curious about those myself. never played them but i definitely want to try at some point.

Just got an e-mail from FT, offering silver status in Feb as a promo, so what I'm going to do, is wait until then and go total beast mode. Silver Status basically gives 10% RB, so it'll be totally +EV to wait until then.

I believe the best thing to do at this stage would be to race Pochui to see who can finish their BAP first. Also, it's implied that this means you would need to populate this thread with a LOT more boobs. Currently your effort in this department has been, well.. shithouse really.

No doubt on who will end first....Personally I begin to doubt if this one will ever be completed

This is a good point Jess and you're completely right on this.

Well it's February now and the Silver Edge Promotion is running so I'd like to know wheter or not Retribution has been able to increase the volume
I still don't have a problem with the project being late but as you guys already said it'd be to get some reports a bit more often.. But yeah I also expected this to run a little smoother..
I just hope ya'll can be patient with me. 
i got through the whole thing
