1. A lot of people will quit leaving machines when they are in positive mode.
2. A lot of people will start looking for machines in positive mode.
There is only so much money to be made. If a lot of other people are doing the same thing as I am there is not enough money in it to go around. To many pigs at the trough. With no one else doing it I get all the plays and make all the available money.
I understand there's a significant difference between posting something online (few viewers) vs having a TV show or segment on your plays. But why write about them online,
especially in so much detail? I mean, you're practically begging for people to come out to MT to compete against you. I somewhat considered taking a trip out there just to see what was all going on....but figured at $500/day in EV, it isn't worth it (lots of expenses), plus I don't know the lay of the land, would have to do the math on the games, etc. That isn't to say someone who is more motivated to travel and do new stuff if they don't have anything right now (EG: Someone
like ZenKing) wouldn't fly or drive out there and do a MT tour for a few weeks or month(s), or possibly just live out there.
