Because it's boring, stupid and uninformative as opposed to just boring, stupid and 99% uninformative.

lol thats interesting reasoning. no matter what approach Pilk took you still should have payed. You know that you would have expected as much had your alliance succesfully recaputured FAT unless you are still clinging to the BOB HAXXORS defense.

Originally by: welsh wizard Edited by: welsh wizard on 28/10/2007 02:52:40 Try and visualize this thread from his standpoint Pilk. Hes not paying because you're rubbing his face in it. It doesn't take Carl Jung to figure this particular manifestation of human nature out.
It shouldn't matter if I dance on top of the Reichstag in SamuraiJack's pink thong (link mercifully omitted). Either it's right to pay me, or it's not. I sent him this EVEMail when I got back from vacation and saw that he hadn't replied to the thread:
Zee EVEMail
As I laid out in the EVEMail, I started the thread because I thought it'd be a fun way to announce the winner of the bet, because I knew I wouldn't be around to properly respond to a Tyrrax thread doing the same, and because posting an "I won!" several days after the end of the bet would have been anticlimactic. I encourage you to reread my posts in this thread prior to Tyrrax's comment; if anything, I feel I was holding back the hordes bemoaning all-too-quickly his unwillingness to pay. Now, I feel as though I carefully toed that line of respect for an opponent in vain.
Thus far, the only reasoning Tyrrax has been for holding back my payment has been the existence of this thread. As my EVEMail clearly outlines, had he wished this thread gone, all he would have had to do was reply. Instead, he delays--or denies? it's unclear--the completion of our wager so that he can grandstand.
I do not appreciate being made to look the fool by someone to whom I had granted the benefit of the doubt.

You dont have to worry about looking like a fool because of Tyrrax, your doing a perfectly good job illustrating that all by yourself.

Originally by: Slayton Ford I'm just wondering why ISD has let a thread which is basically a attack on a individual to go for this long...
Because the first eight pages were "Hey, I won our bet, that you proposed and we both agreed to!", followed by, "Um... so, where is he?"
NOW it's an attack, but it's strictly in-character. I am not speaking to whether or not I'd take a $10 bet on Tyrrax's word were I to meet him on the street tomorrow. But I am having a hard time accepting that I have taken up a 500 million isk bet, solely on Tyrrax's word, now that it is becoming clear that (at the very least) Tyrrax doesn't feel the need to pay immediately upon receipt of notification that he has lost. But that's okay to post about in CAOD, because it has everything to do with my game persona--out-of-game, it's a $50 bet, in terms of GTC costs, and I'm not exactly hurting for $50.

I don't think calling this bet a, "$50 bet, in terms of GTC costs" is doing you any favors here. It just seems meta-gamey, especially for a thread that is "strictly in-character."
There are better ways to go about this. For example, you could pat yourself on the back, send out an alliance mail about it, and start enjoying your new space.
And come on, you won an internet spaceship bet involving internet spaceship money over internet spaceship space. That's something to be proud of!

hmmm..... well this got interesting.
The existance of this thread is irrelevant to the actual fact that a bet was willingly made by these two people.
TT acknowledes the bet, by saying that he won't pay it on account of this thread.
Either TT explains what his pretext is for not paying .. or he is certainly out of line IMO. Ample time has passed since the deadline of the bet, after which date IAC could have captured FAT. This is assuming that the reason for not paying is because of that extended downtime.
So the extended dt is not a good excuse for not paying.
I was on the fence about this, because of the extended DT.
Now I'm thinking that TT should be paying Pilk, thread or no thread. The existance of this thread is irrelevant. Besides with winning a bet comes bragging rights and thats exactly what Pilk has been doing. I.e exercising that right.
Tyrrax loses at least 10 e-honour points with this saga.

Probably a fair criticism. I'd edit it out, but then I'd get *****ed at. Still, point taken.

Oddly, I am proud of that. I enjoyed proving Tyrrax wrong. The money was just supposed to be icing; now, it's the focus. I'm not sure if that's a good thing, but, regardless, I want my damn money.

Tbh I don't see why a failed pet alliance that cannot take or hold their own space expects anything from an alliance like IAC.
You think you'd be used to paying by now.

Last I checked, half of the point of making a bet with someone was bragging rights when you won. I've never heard of a bet where the person says "btw if I lose, please don't tell anyone!"

Nice way to define GoonSwarm alliance as a failure. You failed several times until RA took you in and gave you space. They didn't even let you use complexes. Now you lick their boots every chance you get

Can you shut up already, no one really cares. It seems the more you post the less people feel TT needs to pay you. Just shut up. I'd suggest not posting in this thread for a week. signature removed - please email us to find out why (include a link) - Jacques([email protected]) |
