Wow a different and pretty much pathetic whine..

WTG, keep up the good work, need alittle more nasal in the delivery...

We have filed that you all know how to game it. And...

Like we REALLY care..

Personally I'm waiting for all this to be over so I can have a decent fight..

Though in the last week people are going back to fighting for the fight instead of how it might effect THEIR score.

Which has boosted the fun quite a bit.

Can't understand what's come over them..

I really hope you get your checks....

Really

I see a six pack and a pack of smokes in your future..

That would certainly make a difference in the poops household..

Well on second thought....prolly not. I can put away cheap beer..

RUDE ???  File this one. May be a contender.

Actually I would think it's a lock.

Actually in the last 7-8 months I haven't finished lower then 5th in a tour.  It is not about gaming the game is about doing everything.  As far as the whine whatever.  I see HT post the checks are sent and I have yet to recieve mine, same for a few others.  So I am just curious where they are and when are they going to be sent?  Love how this is turned into a whine when the owner of the game states they will give you something for doing something they asked.  We did now we are just waiting for them to uphold their end of the bargain.  As far as the fights it all seems the same to me, not the well seems to be getting back to normal crap.  

Don't really care about money I make enough to more then happy.  It is about the principle and living up to the deal.

You sure have become a Richard Noggen since you left LJK.  Actually the joke is not on us, time spent was about the same.  So for me I really don't care, read above posts. :rolleyes:

And HTC said checks are in the mail if we did not have correct mailing info then we wouldn't recieve them.  Unless they start sending credits to our houses sounds to me like they were mailing checks to our houses.

If you didn’t care about the money, you would wait a bit more, and then email HTC and ask for an update on the status of the checks.

By posting it in the BBS, you get to draw attention to your accomplishment of scoring in the top whatever it is, and that’s fine. Must be hard as hell to do and require skill and understanding of the game. It draws attention to you and sure, why not.

But after you post it here, and get the sure usual flame for the “lookie at me” post, you have to continue on as if it is not about gathering the check at all. You shamelessly point out how you don’t need the money, you were always so good, one player is this and that mentioning squads, etc…

Just post “I WON $50! N/T”.

What did you expect? I at least know.

Forgive Raub AG, I remember reading the LJK site where on there news on their front page it would "we finished in the top XXX".

The same thing happens to all those that join his new squad. They feel completely inadequate so they attempt to over compensate with clever "not so witty" jibes. I guess its an inside thing so they can go back to their squad bbs and slap each other on the back.

It happened to most of them, sling, furious etc....

They will offer you some bs about how they are "reformed" or some such nonsense.

Either that or he really feels you are a loser.....

Either way take it with grain of salt......

Thats funny Wotan....considering you dont know me at all.  I was fairly new to the game the only time we were ever in a squad together.  That was Hangtime's old 1st AG.  You quit less than a month into it.  Guess we weren't anal enough for you.  :rolleyes:

As for your claims that joining the FDBs changed me.....well yer right....this game is a lot more fun when you pull the stick outta yer bellybutton and try to have fun.

Maybe you should try it sometime.

Oh and your little sidekick should maybe email HTC and ask them where the check is.  Coming here to the BBS and asking this question is nothing more than trying to call attention to oneself and making a big deal out of nothing.

I believe it was a question... Not a "pathetic whine"


Wldthing you are correct, it was a question. As for the purpose of the post, it had nothing to do with the money. That is handled via email to the company.

I find that people reminding me of how "good" they are, giving me their scores as a certain member "used" to do on weekly basis nausiating.

That was the purpose of the post. I might add that was the reason of the replies of "me too". Lest we forget, you all will remind us...

I find that pathetic.

This "contest" doesn't sit well with me in the first place. It has done more to take the "fight" out of the game than any other change that this game has gone through.

Everyone and their mother it seems changed there way of playing in favor of the almighty score. Hell if you want to do nothing but vulch or spawn camp or whatever it's ok by me. If it floats your boat who am I to complain.

But to have a contest that emphasizes the shortcomings of the score system as an "improvement" to the game fell way short of it's mark.

It hurt the game. Hopefully the masses have givin up on "winning" this ill thoughtout contest and will return to fighting..

Last week saw a marked improvement. So I'm hopefull.

..and the self-proclaimed HTC gestapo is back.  I think if HTC has a problem with a post theyll point it out, otherwise give the guy a break, he just wants to know whats up.
Title: Where is my 50$?
Post by: poopster on January 26, 2003, 08:42:11 PM
I haven't seen any of the known Gestapo here Foot...

Finding out "what's up" is as close as ones email. That's the point.

On a side note my view might be construed as anti-AH in the "big" picture. Going against what is presented sort of thing..

But that's a carefully planned cover..

When deja'vu shows up you'll have a point..

He's Captain of the Gestapo :D

But that is a closely held secret..

I'm not a liberty to discuss that now, security reasons. Hope you understand..

You're a tard.

Hey, you asked someone to say it.

Oh, and back on topic, gotta agree.. no legitimate reason for posting this on the public BBS when it was a pure business issue between posters and HTC.  Period.
