 How to: Get qualified (gaining credibility on FTR)
For those who would like to play in the ftr freerolls, you may have noticed that they are only open to qualified (i.e. respected) ftr members. Here's a quick guide on how to get that respect.
1/ Sign up to ftr only during the week before the freeroll tourney of your chosen site. Signing up outside of these 7 days will get you labelled as a freetroller.
2/ Make a short post introducing yourself in the 'poker tools' section of the forum. Use as little spelling, punctuation and grammar as you possibly can, but certainly include some sage bit of poker wisdom that you have acquired and would like to share. If anyone mentions a presentation, swear at them. For bonus respect points be sure to use the word 'freeroles' every third sentence.
3/ The admins love contributors, so post 6 topics in the beginner's circle asking either a/ wide, sweeping, unanswerable questions like 'is it ok to bet too much' or b/ extremely narrow questions like 'should I have raised KJ on this flop'. Never, EVER include an actual hand history, you'll just piss people off. The acceptable format is to write out your HH as if it were a story, again using as little spelling, punctuation and grammar as possible. If someone is able to actually answer your question, then you may have gone wrong somewhere.
4/ Find the event thread for your chosen freeroll and post in it twice. Once saying that ftr is the baddest mofo of all poker sites in the world and you love it, and a second post saying that you haven't had the password yet and is this a bug? This is the quickest way to get qualified, the mods love it.
5/ Post in the live poker forum about how silly it is that people come to ftr just for the freerolls. Quietly mention that you're not here just for the passwords but if-they-want-to-give-them-to-you-that-would-be-just-lovely. Include a recent tale of poker in the format I've already given.
6/ After these vital steps are included, for even more respect you need to start replying to other people's threads. Never use more than one sentence per reply as you'll be replying to every thread in the BC, so keep it short! Actually giving advice is to be generally avoided, unless shamelessly agreeing with every other poster in the thread.
7/ By now you should have been registered with FTR for at least 4 hours. It's time to start PMing the mods to ask for those passwords! If you don't receive a reply within 5 minutes it's perfectly fine to send another one. Try every mod you can for best results.
8/ Make a post in Sit N Go Tourney tactics asking if getting qualified is linked in any way to post count. Discover that you've just wasted 4 hours of your life because in fact, it is not. Ask what WPP means and accept the first answer given. Call out one of the mods and insult them to fast track you to qualification.
9/ 6 hours of hard work later and you should now have access to the freeroll passwords. Congratulations! If you still don't have the passwords by this point, then it's just those douchebag mods singling you out, so start pm-ing anyone on the forum who has shown you any kindness and ask them if they can tell you the password for this month's freeroll.
10/ If after all this hard work, dedication and commitment to ftr you still don't have the passwords, then you really should stop and ask yourself if you could have done things differently.
Amifat: 11/ Pm spenda quote spr and say it makes you pro at poka {acronym Renton hates}
Vinland: 12) Write a tear jerking post saying how your english is poor b/c you live in europe, S. America etc...and then ask for the password.
Lukie: 13) Rip the 'Enter' key out of your keyboard because you will not be needing it. Proceed to make a massively long post that inherently will look like a huge block of text for people to read without any spacing.
XxStacksxX: 14) Instead of using ')' after numbers, supplement it with '/'. It's so expert.
XxStacksxX (I lol'd): 15) Posts in the commune count double towards your post count.
Triumphant Cracker: 15) (b)...post really obviously dumb questions in feedback.
GatorJH: 15) (a)...(Because TC forgot that a comes before b.....Triple if you yell COUNT when hitting the submit button.
Ragnar4: 16) sign up for a werewolf, and then never show up to play again. It is obvious that werewolf is a codeword for "gimmie the next password pls.
17) Shit your pants and eat them. I will personally give a tournament password to anyone who youtubes themselves doing this. So. Free tournament passes ITT.
