I feel like both sides were conning here. Linh talks like s/he understood the con, and was planning to warp out period if they didn't get a tongue in their inventory on the first two kills and was told no to keeping the shank. Come time for Linhs orb and no tongue yet, they ask to keep their shank out of "common courtesy", and was told no. And so they warped out. Was this pew character trying to rob someone of their shank? Sure. Was Linh right to prevent it? Sure. Was Linh wrong for trying to do their own "confidence man tactic" ? Yeeeeeeep. Sorry Linh, but the fact that you were trying to confirm the deal or change it or whatever when it was your time to pop says a lot. It says you knew something was up. I don't think you were as dumb about it as you lead on. It sounds like you agreed to give up your shank for a better chance to get a tongue if it dropped, and when it didn't drop you were begging to keep your shank so you don't leave empty handed. And now you make this thread complaining about how the others weren't being courteous by letting you keep your orb.

That's how I see this. And until you provide us with the whole story or screenshots that probably don't exist, I have no choice but to stick to this mindset. He tried to con you. It didn't work. You tried to con him back by playing dumb. It didn't work. Life goes on. Also I just want to point out that it is insulting to relate con men with some of the things you did. Con men are con men. All races. All religions. All everything. You should be grateful Pewwhateverhisnameis was straight up with you when you asked. That was courteous enough, con man or not. He could have lied to your face and said sure, you can keep it.

If you were as oblivious as you lead on, you never would have asked them about your shank. You would have used your orb due to lack of wisdom and maybe gotten screwed out of a shank. So really, want to tell us another story? 'cause I promise you right now if you come out and tell the truth we'll think more highly of you regardless we lead that on or not in following replies. If by some miracle your story is 100% true and you are innocent of any wrong doing then you're just going to have to live with some people thinking what they're going to think. Learn from your mistake of making this thread and move on. And for the love of God, the cliche is "con man."
