What is slingdot thinking??

[slidecage2222]

they just  release   news that  3  new games will comeout  in march 

Omaha Express - Coming March 7
Grab a chair, put your Dots on the line, and try your luck against up to 5 other Slingers in this version of Omaha Hold'Em with a twist. Or take on the highly skilled computer players and see if they call your bluff. Create the best hand you can from your 4 down cards and the 5 up community cards. The skies the limit for combinations with this many cards in play. Coming to the Free Casino area.
You got what it takes?

Super Aneurysm - Coming March 15
Got the Beat the Brain Stamp? Think you know how to win Aneurysm? Well step right up DotSpot members and try on Super Aneurysm! Progressively harder levels add new colors, new crystals, and even expand the size of the board. Gone are the days of unlimited hammers, my friends! This is Aneurysm for adults.
Plus, get far enough along and Mr. Aneurysm starts populating your board with random crystals at the most inconvenient times. Save your progress every 2 levels and keep coming back for more!

5 Card Draw - Coming March 23
No frills, no TV coverage, no hokey announcers, no muss. This is Poker like it was meant to be played - before the hype and the celebrities and the nonsense. One table, 5 cards, discards, betting rounds, bluffs, huge pots, and triumph! Play against the computer or other DotSpot members. No up cards to clue you into your opponent's hand. Just you, your Dots, and your nerves. Now that's how it's supposed to be!


And coming in April -
WordThello
Ewe Turn a Wooly Puzzle Game
Razz
and more......

and they next   3 stamps

3 New Quests Start at 8:00 AM CST March 4. Get you game faces on!

Kinged For A Day
Get yourself crowned with 15 Wins in Ultimate Checkers between March 4 and March 18.
But here's the twist - 10 wins must come against the Computer and 5 must come against other challengers for the crown! Get in there and match up against one another in multiplayer mode Slingers! A little friendly competition never hurt anyone.

Jack Attack
What happens on SlingDot stays on SlingDot! Win 75 Hands of BlackJack
between March 4 and March 18 and collect 1700 Dots, a sweet new Stamp, and a slightly shady reputation.


ClubHouse of Cards
Fore! 18 Wins equals a full round of Golf Solitaire.
Finish your round between March 4 and March 18 and we'll meet you in the Club House with a new Stamp, 800 Dots, and a cold beer

but back to main point... slingdot   all 3 games coming in  March  will  all be in the  Free section..   you would think this site would start beining out games that you could only play if your a member..       only thing going for membership is    6 stamp challenges per month     

i would of thought  slingdot would of  put more energy into trying to get new games into their members only side  BUT   i guess not...


also  heard some talk in some  slinglotto rooms the entire   Ranks and  team play  has both been pushed back to  April  or later

had major hopes for this site but it seems  they are just trying to  run  it into the ground

I havent tried SlingDot ... but this is my thought - You want people to come play the games because they are FREE, just like Pogo did - Then once ya get em hooked, is when you offer more exclusive games ... to me its just smart business.

bad thing though is that 90% of their free games  suck  LOL   :))

also they seemed to post this  to my question on the boards

You are incorrect, only 1 title (Omaha Hold'Em) in the next 2 months of releases will be in the Free section of games, as very clearly stated in the current News Spot article. There will be a minimum of 5 new games added to the DotSpot between 3/15 and 4/30.

Additional features shortly to make their way to the site:
1. Pals Lists - end of March - unlimited Pals for members, free users limited to 3 Pals
2. Game Ranking System - end of March - members can earn Master Level Stamps not available to nonmembers.
3. SlingPets - early April - two SligPets (one dog, one cat) available to free users. 20+ available to members and future SlingPet features will be limited to members only.

...and of course current features:
1 to 1 chat
Triple Dot Awards - You refer to this as "old news." I'd direct you towards the drawings winners - 85% of which have been DotSpot members.
Access to existing DoSpot Games
Current and future members only Quests and Stamps (72% of Quests thus far have been memebrs only)

So the short answer is, in the next 60 days members will get:
5 or more new exclusive games
8-10 new members-only Quests and Stamps
5 features with the majority of functionality being members-only
And most of the cash we'll be giving away

How's that?


LOL

pals list -  another rip off of  a pogo idea
game ranking----  this was to come out  first week of march  now it seems  it  has been pushed to  Late march    (doubtful probally april )
SLINGPETS----    cant they stop  ripping pogos ideas off   ,, i mean come on slingdot  come up with your own  freaking ideas   (early april)

This does bring to mind though  I wonder if   POGO will now push out their   POGO pets earlier to  try to  beat  Slingdot....


ALSO

8-10 new members-only Quests and Stamps

interesting  since  stamps are only given out   3 at a time  in 15 day cycles......    I wonder if this means they will start pushing out more then 3 at a time  or    Making them  1 at week badges 


5 features with the majority of functionality being members-only

they listed  3  so    I wonder what the other  2  are....

this summer  will be a interesting time to see how slingdot   does.... I still say if they cant pull  something major out of nowhere by the end of summer  they  will just be another  BLEH  place to go

[SI]

Doubt it.  Unless it gets to the point where Pogo feels that SlingDot is a competitive threat, I can't see them trying to one-up them.  Plus, with all the technical issues Pogo's been having lately, (*puts on flame-retardent suit*) they would be smart to take their time before releasing any new features/games until they're proven to operate as intended.

I mean, after all, if MS knew to pull their collective heads out of their arses and live beta products before rushing to release them...
