I've become annoyed by a hypocritical Players council member's cheese-weasel routine. Asheras was given fair warning not to annoy me but couldn't take the hint, I tell you the ego on these PC members. So here you go Ash, this thread is just for you and the viewing public:
As some of you know I've been selling epic and heroic Otto's boxes for the bargain price of $20 and advertising in the Khyber trade area for a little over a week. Otto's boxes cost 4,995 TPs each, which cost $49.95 so the $20 we are charging is not only a great deal it is also quite 'informative' in it's self. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that when parties are selling a Otto's for $20 by the dozen they are duped. It's why they are advertised here and not on the Main boards.
Here is the link to my initial offer thread and a screenshot:
http://www.ddovault.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1465771993Asheras, a Player's Council member, turbine defender, and avowed 'clean player' contacted me to buy 'a few' of our special $20 dollar boxes:
I had by that time sold out the first batch, but told him we would have more and made clear that I felt a bit wary of dealing with someone like him:
At that point the phony started worrying about his image. So he PMs back and tried to back-pedal and starting trying to pretend he wasn't buying because he is afraid of being outed. Obviously a guilty conscious at work. It never fails that the first one to mention anything about a 'rat' is always the actual rat:
I was pretty peeved about this. I guess hypocrites just rub me the wrong way, high profile hypocrites even more so. So I responded thusly:
Instead of just letting it go and moving on this guy tries to wiggle out of it and at the same time he is trying to spin his request to buy he unintentionally uses a phrase that describes what these 'clean' hypocrites are all about, he wanted us to deal in a way that "allows plausible deniability". What a jack-off:
I PM him back to tell him how much I enjoyed the subtext of his previous PM. Being a pretty fair guy I suggest that he should walk away instead of annoying me with his transparent rubbish any further:
Sadly it appears that the over-inflated sense of self-importance of this particular 'clean' PC member drove him to unwisely disregard my clear warning and try to have the last word instead of just taking it on the chin and just being thankful that I was giving him a pass and had only called him out in PMs as opposed to outing him publicly where turbine and the other 'clean' players could see . Once again I suspect the guilty conscious was at work as well:
Not a great decision Asheras, still trying to white-wash your attempted purchase and at the same time equate publicly avowed exploiters with trying to be 'Mr. Clean' after you tried to buy clearly duped boxes. All after I warned you not to annoy me.
Like I mentioned at the start I'm annoyed. So public is what you get now. Try to get the last word on this thread if you like. But no matter what you say and whine nobody is going to believe that when you tried to buy boxes from me that you thought that my two dozen boxes for $20 each were on the up and up.
