Support your friend.

Would you have liked to have been humiliated in public and have your items taken? Do you think they should have handled this privately and professionally?

Show your support.

If what I heard is correct, it is complete and utter bullshit.

[GS4-Brimzstone]

They are really out to get the guy... Several posts just got hidden as they were put up under complaints

[GS4-Brimzstone]

Same with EG folder

I hope he seeks legal counsel

[Sean]

Post isn't there anymore mind giving a recap?

[Fallen]

Basically, someone had the items they won (or obtained in some manner, not sure on this) taken from them. Said items are going to be re-auctioned at a later date. If I'm wrong on any of that, someone fix it for me.

Thread: The way you treat customers

Keefa Re: The way you treat customers
Agreed that was poorly done.

Sardinus Re: The way you treat customers
I have to agree that in only observing the end result, I have trouble finding ANY scenario where such actions are warranted.


Barlowr Re: The way you treat customers
Sadly Keith...it doesn't matter. Out comes the heavy hand of moderation.

Sirina Re: The way you treat customers. *THREAD CLOSED*


Note: That was all I could get of the thread.
Folks, this topic is not up for discussion. We don't and haven't discussed account issues publicly, and we're not going to start now.

Man you seem pretty collected for something that from the outside seems outrageous. I couldn't believe it when I heard it.

Paul, dude!

Would the Undertaker or John Cena have taken this crap without fighting?*

*Jay has just exhausted his entire knowledge of wrestler's names in one short sentence.

I was right in the middle of writing a good letter too...

How can you not know Hulk Hogan and Macho Man Randy Savage?

[LMingrone]

So WTF happened?

[Danical]

I'm still not exactly sure what happened . . .

1) Paul went to EG.
2) Paul acquired items.
3) ???
4) Loss!

[Methais]

I still have no idea what the fuck happened other than someone getting assrammed.

Anyone actually know any details?

[Belnia]

I'm not sure what happened beyond what Paul said briefly in the chat, but I predict lots of tin foil hats.

The fact that John Cena is 50% of your wrestler name knowledge makes me sad. Not because you only know 2 names, but because John Cena is one of them and I'm reminded of how gay wrestling has become.

timing is pretty fucked even if there was a real policy issue. you were open on the officials about your intention to attend many weeks in advance.

I'm just guessig here but it's likely someone complained or they probally wouldn't of stepped in with the old yank post auction.

I heard a 22-year-old naked chick hooked Sirina up with some acid and she had a bad trip so she had to hide in kookiegod's cousin's neighbor's auntie's closet so then obviously Sirina took away items for no good reason.

This thread fucking sucks.

It had such potential for some awesome drama and Simu bashing, and now it's about wrestling?!

I have no idea what happened here but this is what I can tell from reading up on things.

Here's a recap of what might have happened:

(1)In a past incarnation as a GM someone had a online relationship with another GM.
(2) One of the GM's is no longer a GM.
(3) The ousted GM attends the EG 2009 auction
(4) Game items are exchanged for sexual favors.
(5) A feminist/lesbian GM finds out.
(6) ????
(7) We read about it here.

Now that made me laugh. I hope it's true only for the lolz factor of it all, not because a good guy got shafted. For shafting.

Don't forget Dink, he's midget counter-part!

[kookiegod]

Sheesh, stop living in the past... well, wrestling was acutally good back then, Pedro Morales, Bob Backlund, Larry Zybysko, Stan Hansen, etc in the 70s, and even the 80s, the Freebirds/Von Erich war, the rise of the Midnight Express, The Rock and Roll Express, The Fabulous Ones, The Warriors, Ric Flair/RIcky Steamboat. 90s kinda sucked except for DX and Austin/Rock, and without competition, its gone a lot downhill.

Is still some bright spots.

TNA - The Motor City Machine Guns, Jay Lethal, AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe...

Ring of Honor - The Briscoe Brothers, Kevin Steen & El Generico, The American Wolves, Jerry Lynn, Chris Hero...

WWE- John Morrrison, The Miz, Kofi Kingston, though the main event scene is staler than week old bread.

Sorry I ruined everyones drama cause there was none, but the wrestling talk was fun!

[AestheticDeath]

So you 'aren't allowed' to attend GM auctions now? What's up with that?

Surely you can tell more of the story. Or someone else can.

[Moonwitch]

Paul is taking the high road on this one, so let him. If it was me I'd be more than slightly upset.

Anyway a group of us are going back to turn in our stuff to try to get the items Paul lost back for him. So I'm turning in the true shot quiver if I can manage to get spun for his stuff.

He really wants the duping quiver and the quarterstaff back. I don't think he really cares much about the other stuff. So if anyone manages to get these items, please let him have first shot at buying them.

[Moonwitch]

Oh Simu should learn to let people speak their mind on their boards where they can attempt to do damage control. Because if they don't we just come here where they can't.


Oh it is way too early in the morning.

[Beldonn]

No offense, Paul, but I have always known you to been a good guy, a shrewd trader, a helluva merchant, and a smart cat all around. This smacks of shit-that-don't-belong.

Short a threat to you, why are you not bumping some serious riots with everyone else? Drama or not, you got items removed from you. If someone took a 500k item from me, I'd be mindblowingly assaulting them. Mind you, GM or not, intention was stated months in advance, and for good reasons, since I know every item you got. Durgrimst hates you for winning the stringgggggg! So nevermind a 50mil item, let alone FIVE items of that caliber.

I'll admit I am damn curious what was said by them, to you, to justify 'we're taking away 200mil of items from you. Deal with it'. I pray you can tell us all, not because we're your friends, trading buddies, acquaintances, random strangers, but because we're simply that damn curious about the injustice that was committed. And this thread is something that they can't moderate. If you can only send it in a PM, send it in a PM to someone, and have them distribute info to people, I beg you!

Personally, I'm pissed that a good merchant got jaked in this. I've dealt with Paul on DOZENS of occasions. Not all good, we've had more than a few deals where we both ended up grumbling cuz we're not sure who got more screwed *laughs*. But Paul's a good guy, and I think information is warranted so some of us can a) avoid. b) support you. c) know for future eggshell stepping since obviously one of the GM's has a heavy-flow elephant tampon shoved up their ass and doesn't want to play by the rules.

Just my 2 cents. I feel for you Paul, and I'm trying to get my bud who won the tehiri earcuff to run in and spin for you too, but donno where he is *his real life has him by the nuts*. But if I get ahold of him, he'll be there. Kudos bud.

Historic match. Not good by any stretch as Andre's back was in such bad shape at that point, and 18 months later was out of the biz till his untimely death at 46.

Historic for the crowd, the build, the electricity in the air, it was, as the Gorilla said, "a happening."

I loved this match, though I'm more fond of the the Hogan vs Ultimate Warrior match. Even if the Hulk did lose :(

So, you devote your precious time to helping Gemstone as a GM.
Now you get the privilege of being fucked over by them.

The strength and love this community gives the game is unparalleled.

The fact that....

Nevermind I'm done rehashing shit we already know.
