Common Courtesy

[Arcon]

I don't understand why ppl are so quick to judge the other person as being completely on the up and up...most of the posts I've read seem to attack Linh in some way for being stupid, gullible or otherwise at fault...maybe the other guy intentionally screwed Linh? Maybe the other guy isn't a saint and is kinda at fault?

I just don't understand why ppl have to berate Linh for a bad decision...we've all made poor decisions before, and when that happens, we need a little compassion from ppl, not post after post pointing out the stupidity of the initial decision...I'm sure Linh will learn from this experience without us pointing out the lack of forethought or beratement....

First of all, stop making him the victim. He didn't lose anything at all. He doesn't need our sympathy. He came here to post about how other people suck.

Secondly, I don't see anyone who berated him for his decision (at first). Everyone said something along the lines of "Sucks to hear that, should try to avoid these situations next time", but he kept going about how he was mistreated and wronged, and altered his story in misleading ways. And that is just wrong. It's not his decision that annoys me (or most people here, I'm guessing), but his inability to admit that shit happens, insisting on him being played. He misinterpreted them, that's all there is to it. Although frankly, I have no idea how you even could misinterpret that.

You can lot tongues on every run if we get your shank.

If no tongues drop, how is that a special case, an exception? It doesn't change a thing at all, it simply meant he was out of luck. That case is very well defined within these parameters (if what Linh was saying about it is the truth). He hasn't been wronged, used or mistreated in any way, he made a clear and well defined deal and when he realized what that deal meant for him if he doesn't get any tongues, he got cold feet and backed out. That's all there is to it.

Personally I'd find it insulting if I shouted for people who didn't need shanks, did KS99s with them, expecting their shanks, not because I'm greedy or selfish, but because it's part of the (very simple) deal and because I'm doing 3x KS99, letting them have an item off my runs which I could sell for upwards of 1M (or quite possibly higher after this update), and then that person backs out, leaving me with effectively 50% less loot. If I knew that person was gonna react this way, I wouldn't have invited him and shouted for others instead.
