You know, the problem isn't actually the Overkrills.  They were nice, but they were just once-daily tournaments with larger than normal guarantees.  And seeing as the guarantees are usually about 6-10 players...it's not that much of a stretch. 

The real problem is that the daily Overkrills were positioned as the "make good" for SWC cancelling the Krillrolls (the real ones that ran once a month for people who had payed thousands in rake lifetime), which themselves were billed as lifetime guarentees.  Now the Overkrills are gone, the last in a long line of removed promotions.  But the idea was to make you forget that they promissed one thing (lifetime monthly krillrolls) and then removed it once people payed a bunch of rake to get into them.  People can't get THAT mad about removing tournaments with a slightly larger guarentee.  And now enough time has passed from when they took away the guarenteed lifetime rewards that SWC hoped people would have forgotten all about what the fuss was in the first place.

Remember the weekly krill leaderboard, where people generated 5k+ in krill a week to win a first place prize of 200 chips?  Of course first place in that used to be 500 chips...until they cut it. 

See the pattern?
