            <description>With the new version of Blobble released, we have decided to have a new contest. This is a simple contest and gives a BYOND Membership in the end. The top six to ten rated players on &lt;a href=&quot;byond://iccusion.zapto.org:5656&quot;&gt;this server&lt;/a&gt; will compete in a double elimination Blobble tournament at the start of January and the winner will win a BYOND Membership and any other prizes gathered along the way. Head on over to the server linked above and get started!&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
In other news, Iccumania is on hold once again until the developers can get back to work on it during this busy holiday season.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Hope to see you competing! Good luck and enjoy!&lt;br/&gt;

            <description>The prize for the Iccumania contest will now be given out December 1st due to lack of involvement and delay on Texas Hold'em. Iccusino has also been taken down until Hold'em can be added. Hopefully it will be ready soon.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Thank you.&lt;br/&gt;

            <description>Iccumania is back up and running. For those who do not know what Iccumania is, Iccumania is a suite of minigames that you play and collect tickets. Those tickets are put into a &quot;virtual-hat&quot; and a winner is chosen. The winner wins real prizes each month! Right now the suite contains Bingo and Keno, but more card and dice games are on the way.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Because we are just getting back up and running, the next drawing will be November 1st, 2007. The winner will get a one year BYOND Membership or extension.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
All tickets have been reset, but all previous tokens you have already earned are still there. Some of you have some catching up to do!&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Join the live US Central server at &lt;a href=&quot;byond://iccusion.zapto.org:1331&quot;&gt;byond://iccusion.zapto.org:1331&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Good luck and have fun!&lt;br/&gt;

            <description>&lt;div style=&quot;display:none;visibility:hidden;&quot;&gt;Yes, that's right. Texas Hold'em for Iccusino! Can't wait to play? Don't wait then! Come on in! We're anticipating your arrival.&lt;/div&gt;Well, not quite yet. I, Jack, am currently working on Texas Hold'em. There are a few things I need to know though.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
1) What is the most amount of players that should be at a table?&lt;br/&gt;
(Between 6 and 10)&lt;br/&gt;
[EDIT]&lt;br/&gt;
Actually, I might make a change to the concept. When you create a table in the game, It wowuld prompt you for a set minimum (2 to 4) and maximum (6 to 10) amount players. That would allow people to create a comfortable environment for themselves.&lt;br/&gt;
[/EDIT]&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
2) How should we handle people who log out during a game?&lt;br/&gt;
[Note: They will receive 30 extra seconds on their timer to come back, before one of these options is invoked.]&lt;br/&gt;
a) Force them to always check or call&lt;br/&gt;
b) Force them to go all-in&lt;br/&gt;
c) Force them to check or fold&lt;br/&gt;
d) __________________ (That means you supply something. :P)&lt;br/&gt;
[My personal opinion: check/fold]&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
For those of you whom saw my post about favorite &quot;style&quot;, I have decided to do this.&lt;br/&gt;
We will have it so you can create a new table of the style you choose, if you don't see your style in the list of current games. &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
You can still post your favorite style though.&lt;br/&gt;
For those whom don't know, there's 5/10, 10/20, 50/100, and 100/200 of each limit, pot-limit, and no-limit.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Thanks for your inquiry.&lt;br/&gt;

            <description>It is with great pleasure to bring to you the long awaited results for the Iccusion BYOND Games Contest of 2006!&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
We would like to inform everybody who participated that we have slightly reduced the prizes due to lack of turn out and quality of games. The bad results of this contest are not fair to Iccusion Entertainment or the BYOND community. More effort was deserved.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
The prizes will be handed out within the next week. Winners please be patient as we go through the information and send the prizes out.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
Thank you everybody for your participation and we hope that the Iccusion BYOND Games Contest 2007 will be better.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
You can find the results &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iccusion.net/contests/byond/ibgc2006.php&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br/&gt;
