Common Courtesy

[HFX7686]

I asked them about my shank, because when it was time to /random for the second person to go, I asked if I could just simply go last and let Pewpeww's friend go 2nd, because if it didn't drop the Tongue still, I would want to keep my Shank (unless my orb dropped a Tongue) This was when he mentioned that this wasn't the deal we made and he doesn't play that way. When I was about to ask if this means I can lot their Shank on their 3rd run (assuming I won the /random and went 2nd) if the Tongue still had not dropped then, he DCed.

I alt tabbed out to surf the net while waiting for him to come back. Minutes later I see they're already in without me and he hasn't said anything. I said "wb", and he said "I wasn't away."

So I thought to myself, "aren't you just supposed to say "ty", even if that wasn't the case? Ya know, like conversations at a retail store. Cashier says how are you? You reply fine ty, even if you really aren't fine."

So the 2nd run ended, and now it was time for my orb. Since he hasn't said anything besides the "I wasn't away." during the 2nd run, this was when I asked the question about the Shank again. and where he "clarified" it.

So you knew before you even randomed for your turn that the deal you agreed to was a bad deal and you tried to change it. The problem is, you did agree to the original deal...you didn't need clarifications because you tried to change it before your orb...therefore you were still in the wrong about dodging the deal that you agreed to.

I don't know, why did you make this thread anyway? To teach people not to make bad deals? I think you misunderstand the meaning of 'common courtesy'.

No, the deal I thought I agreed to was giving my shank and in return obtaining the BB item.

Hey, guess what? If you speak fluent english, people are going to expect you to understand words that all 4 year olds understand. If you do not, then you should just suck it up, and give up the item you promised to give up, if only as payment for teaching you such a valuable piece of vocabulary.

However, perfectly reasonable English-speaking person could interpret the arrangement as being "I get your shank If the tongue drops". English is not a simple language where every piece of dialogue is always perfectly clear, there are nuance to language that is often lost over written media. Can you honestly say you have never read a post and been unable to tell whether the post was sarcastic? Besides if you had read my post you'd see that Pewpew screwed himself out of a shank and Linh out of an orb.

I have never read the word "chance" and took it to mean anything else, no.
