Yep, when I see a scammer.

Giver or taker? This is a bit vague.

If you meant takers: No one with no games asked for a game, all were very polite about it, etc...also I don't see you saying such when the winners here won games on other contests.

If you meant me: How would I be scamming anyone? I don't ask for rep and I have no use for it(i'd give out games if all posts got low rated), and the low raters cancel it out anyways. As for the people who appreciate this, again the low raters cancel out any good they might do, so I would get little-no benefit from such either.

You want to put your money where your mouth is? Let's see you accuse EVERY giver or taker in every contest of such...else you're full of hot air & likely just being a douche because you have a chip on your shoulder about others or me.

Congrats to all the entrants/winners, +1 to GR.

Thanks, but if you want to thank me then uprate post 11(it has some useful info) or any who asked for games/thanked...they deserve it more than I do. :)

Done, thanks for letting me know.

Just a tip: learn 2 ignore the resident troll & his stupid 'Thks for the laughs' comments. There isn't even anything remotely funny abt wat we posts & if he thinks it's funny then the joke's on him cos we all know better than 2 bother reply him. ;)

Oh lookie, who turned up. You missed out sweetie, it's closed:)

You're right(which is sad to admit as he seemed to be reasonable about a year back).....if he keeps pestering my giveaways with insults i'll just ignore or report(the insults I mean, not the non rule breaking posts...i'm not that mean). Also thanks for the reply. Later. :)

You downvoting me Tauto? I don't downvote you... and I'm noticing some odd things in this thread...

Yeah, like the SOLE other high rating in this thread, for instance.....and the fact that everyone who sided with me is now low rated.

(This is not to say he's behind it.....just that the trolls seem to like those who agree with them)

(Also lol they missed one of my non-op posts....they better fix that...can't have me having any normal rated posts, now can they?

Well at least they didn't downrate any of the winners this time....small miracles and all that.....so either they found a heart[fat chance] or they're busy elsewhere)

I've never downvoted Tauto as the dude's been unfairly downvoted... well... as long as I've been here. His cynicism has, justifiably, grown over time... but he better not be aiming at me for not understanding wtf is going on. I'm not sure why he has a hate boner for you. I had one for a while... but I can let things go.

What? I don't play childish games like that, wake up to yourself. I say it as it is and that's that and if I had a beef with you then you would bloodywell know it.

Edit: Yeah, I see the odd things in here and maybe ask the OP or someone is playing silly games.

True, which is why I often uprate his unfairly downrated posts....sadly, though, 1 vote doesn't do much to help in many cases.

Cynicism is all fine and well, but he also goes after certain people sometimes with jabs here and there instead of applying said cynicism evenly to all doing the things he's cynical about.....if he were more even handed with such i'd likely be a bit more accepting of it.

Likely(this is me guessing based on observations/etc) he read something(s) I wrote and took it(them) the wrong way....it happens(which is partially why I haven't fully written him off yet).

We can't all be as live and let live as others, sadly....this is evidenced by our bickering(I mean humanity in general) in all walks of life and in all locales over everything under the sun people can be divided over and complain about.

BTW maybe you can be counselor to the goggites who have "Lost their way"? o.0

The pay is lousy and the people might give ya hell, but the Karma from it has gotta be astronomical. :)

=============================================

It depends what you mean by silly games:

If you mean giving out games in a silly contest to make people happy and make the board a bit nicer, then yeah that applies.

If you mean giving out games to get people to like me to get more REP....eh, that plan would be doomed to failure at this point if it were true(it isn't, if anyone is wondering...I don't believe in buying love or friendship online that way).

If you mean that I might be having people low rate me and having them uprate you and others for some odd reason.....eh, I don't see the benefit from that(well beyond maybe playing the victim for what that would be worth) and don't do that(as like you, I don't care about REP[the points that is]).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aside: You wanna talk(and see some) "silly games"? Go check out the Wizardry Labyrinth of Lost Souls thread. Anyone who advocates for that game(or even says where it can be bought like PookaMustard) have all been low rated and all those who dislike and criticize the game are going high faster than WIllie Nelson while backstage.

And it's not just that thread....there have been several others as well....and Gog has been shown(by me and another user) a method to find who's doing it(without needing to change anything in the site code/etc) and they still won't enforce that rule(No rep manipulation).

It's always good to ask when in doubt, as wiser people than me once told me long ago.

Ok so you don't think giveaways are silly...but then:

You say people asking(not begging, as that would imply they asked out of the blue to random people who weren't holding giveaways, imo) for games is a silly game....but then what would be the point of giveaways if no one asked for games or entered them? Should people host giveaways and everyone says "none for me, thanks" before moving on? Should hosts just toss games at random people? What would the solution be to your "dilemma" of "silly game beggars" then??? :|

(Also why haven't you gone into finkleroy's two giveaways yet to call people silly game beggars? Or any of the other giveaways? If that truly is your stance at least be consistent)

To be fair you were(imo) a bit vague or unclear....so of course some(maybe not me but others if I didn't ask) might ask what you meant.

So wait....you get sick of people who ask for clarification? If so, then maybe be more specific and clear and maybe no one would have to ask?
============================================
That all said, I am a bit sad that you have become somewhat jaded/cynical by your time here/elsewhere online.....I wish I could help improve your outlook, sometimes, tbh....but sadly I am just a man and not a miracle worker. :\
