    And this thread is still going, because it's a call to the community about common courtesy, or lack thereof. And while some people may be selfish and try to scam people over a large portion of the community is actually very nice and fair, from my own experience.

    That's you expecting something that was clearly stated not to be the case.

    This "fellow man" talk is getting kinda stale, you haven't been wronged, even if that was indeed the intention of Pewpeww. I don't know him, so won't say it is either way, the fact is you made a deal and expected an inappropriate exception. And then you accuse others of keeping you down.

    I wanna make clear on two things, because you haven't explained that properly anywhere:
    1. How many people were in the party?
    2. Did he actually say they were going to lot against you on the tongue? Because from the way you said it yourself, I think you misinterpreted his "chance". I don't think he meant a "chance" among others, but a chance as in, if it drops or not. At least that's how I understood it.

    As was stated before, I think you're selfish without realizing it. You expected there to be a safety net, insurance, that, even if the run went wrong, you'd get something out of it at least. Reverse that situation, would you be ok if no shanks dropped, and they said "because no shanks dropped, we'll lot your tongue as well, just to get something out of all this"?

    I can only relate this to myself, I would offer the same deal he did, and I don't do it to scam anyone or put anyone down. It's a simple deal, can't you see that everyone here interprets it the same way except for you? As I said, I think it's simple misinterpretation (or wrong expectation) on your part, no one pulled anything on you.

    2. No

    And there has been people who has agreed with me.

    This was what was said BEFORE the run while at Ronfaure:

    "I'll give you the chance to lot on the Tongue if it drops, in return I get your shank."

    Does most DEFINITELY NOT equal this "clarification":

    "The deal was not for the BB item itself, but the chance for you to lot it if it drops on our orb. Even if it doesn't drop on your orb (meaning, "at all") we still get your shank."
