I love card games, and it's great having a MMO based on one. Although this won't be any gift to someone else...this prize's going to me if I get it! =)
I think the best explanation I heard for this phenomenon went something like this, from a blogger: "I'd rather act wrong, and have a few people correct me that the decade ends in 2010, than be right, and have a lot of people write in to me correctly." Let the blogs go through their best of the decade stuff, and hold off on the righteous indignation. ;)
Currently, the speculation is that they will balance things out by making the tie-breaking vote America's Choice. It's believed they won't allow Ronnie to be in the jury, because he wasn't sequestered (and in recent seasons, they sequester all jury members to prevent them from seeing the full version of the shows, with diary rooms, to avoid letting these private glimpses at the house influence them.)
Just to warn you, they added a hidden hitch of sorts--it won't affect most people, but it did affect me. If your account was active at any point within 45 days, before the deal was offered, it doesn't work. Of course, this is documented nowhere on their site...but that doesn't stop SOE. *Rolls eyes*
The problem? This game already exists, pretty much, in two forms. Runescape. A game with no real classes, where you can be anything just by levelling yourself, and has tons of minigames. Puzzle Pirates. A game which exists /just/ as a collection of puzzle games, of 'casual' games.
