Help: Privateer Jeff/StDem

~~Ed Ward~~ · 05-24-2012, 14:48

Hello all.

As many are aware, we got a delicate situation those days.
For the next 48 hours, i won't be able to be logged on a lot, so --->

If you know StDem, or if StDem is reading this post himself, I ask you to please convince StDem to remove his privateer from auction. I am ready to buy it for 25 deeds. (at market value, that's the SB asked on auction)

That way, Jeff will get his privateer not far from him. (we are sharing some friends in his society) If concluded, I am ready to give Jeff full access to his privateer, next months, i would be almost all time in it, so no big issue about summoning etc.

And I am ok to resell to Jeff his privateer when money is found. (money can come even from StDem that would realize sometime in the future, how wrong he's acting now)

Special words to StDem:

Dude, I am living in a rich country, and I swear you that for many years, I NEVER had 1200 peds on me to buy a privateer 1200 peds on auction on the fly.
I've sold recently an unL quad for 55k peds. This was the result of years of work. I looted this quad because i desserved it after years of work. I have not stolen it.

You're saying you're living in a poor country, fine, you're not the only one. Funny that poor country guys got 1200 peds on ped card and rich country guys have to wait 5 years to get 1200 peds available on their ped cards. Think again, mate, how many months of your country's salary is worth your soul? how many time that duration have you got remaining before you die?

Just saying...

For now, you got an offer, 25 deeds, seems the best you can accept after talking a bit with a few guys... This privateer is not even worth the 25 deeds. I call you to examine again your position.

Tanx!

As you can see, EU is a big familly.
Friends have friends that have friends that have friends... etc that is you.

Do not forget, SetDem, all the help that you won't get because of your positions.
Do not forget, SetDem, that if nobody is required to help you sweat, übers are the ones to tame, if you want a full set of rare armor that will be common gear when you earn skills...
Do not forget, SetDem, all the efforts put to build this spaceship, maybe browse few years back on forum and all races that were raging amongst the community to gather all rare parts of ships/hangars. Even if Jeff has not built his hangar/privateer himself, I am 110% sure that the guy who built it remembers that Jeff bought it.
Do not forget, SetDem, we are not forgetting either.

Everyone make mystakes in life, here, precisely, things can still be undone

Edit: The current states of facts tells me one thing: You do not have what it takes to be a champion and you will quit game sooner than what you'd think...

So the guy did not negotiate with some lame excuse.

I hope no one bids on this auction. Boycott!

Don't sale your soul for someone's else dumb mistake, Be a gentleman! You will be praised by whole EU for it.

I have a feeling this ship is as good as lost... Not everyone uses the forums. Many large depositors are folks you would never see here.

Also then there are those players who simply do not care about politics.

To them this purchase will be fair and square, and the issue will be something the original owner and the new seller need to work out.

Sucks, but that's life. Full of OMGWTF moments....

i don't care your philosophy guys, just bring StDem on that thread hehe

Can I have your name and number so I can call you next time I fuck something up IRL? Maybe you can get world leaders and entire countries to rally to fix my fuck-ups in the future?

Seriously. Sucks to be Jeffe but he fucked up. Dont blame the buyer.... blame the initial fuckup. Maybe it's MA's fault due to the fact that they don't force us to click 3784 "ok" boxes before selling something. Maybe it's Jeffe's fault cuz he didn't leave his deed in storage. Maybe it was the system's fault for lagging thus inadvertently dropping Jeffe's cursor on the wrong deed....

Regardless... it is NOT the buyer's fault and IMO he found himself a good score! Gratz to him for getting a nice fat HoF! We've all had people benefit from our lost PEDs in-game... whether it be via mistake or stupidity (hunting/mining/crafting) someone else at some point has put SOME of our PED's in thier pockets.

My hope that the buyer would do the right thing and return the ship went down the drain when I found out it was stDem that bought it. There are traders... and then there are profiteers who stand at the auction terminal 24/7 looking for low-priced goods to resell back on auction for a profit.

Here's hoping you can wrangle it back somehow.

~~Ed Ward~~ · 05-29-2012, 06:24

yay, not questionning Jeffe's philosophy, nor StDem philosophy, nor my philosophy, nor your philosophy, Menace, nor yours, Neil, nor anyone else's philosophy.

I have a brain, a heart, like everyone, and I know not all cares about it.

I've done what I've done, and it went through that thread.

Cheers!

PS: Menace, if you have troubles in RL, you can PM me, I may do what I can at my scale, who knows. You got all infos required in my profile.

Edit: it's not because a fault has been made (i let our usual trolls gives their thoughts down there lol) that nothing can be made and/or undone. Life is dynamic, like EU.

Edit2: let me give you an analogy: We had years back Tchernobyl. Who was the fault from? We adopted your kind of thoughts, Menace, and we had Fukushima. I admit that this analogy may not appear as pertinent at first read, but think about it twice. As today, this is a silly analogy, I invite to think about in 20-50 years. Maybe that's what the world is missing today. We have problems, we solve them. Like at school, the teachers gives you math problems and you solve them. Are you asking your teacher who's fault is this that your teacher wanted to know x value in 2x+1=0? (or put last sentence in past form)

When u have been gone from this game for years already and there's nobody left who even remembers your name, THIS will be the something that people will remember... you know, that guy who bought out Jeffe's privateer, whatwashisname..?

And the "lucky" guy who "lives in the poor country"... he lost more than he realizes right now, karma is a bitch.

Nah, it really isnt. Most of the nice people in life die young, while the mean ones grow old enough to be reviled by their extended families, and wealthy enough to have those family members constantly at their doorstep no matter what, for every dreaded holiday.

You'd think they dislike it with how much they complain, but here's a secret: They enjoy it. All of it.
