Common Courtesy

[Zyeriis]

And the story continues to change. Great assumptive powers btw, I'm not surprised (at how you try to twist things). End of story = it ended, you're just changing it now (in a very ugly and poor manner that changes absolutely nothing). Me saying I'm not going to repeat myself again = I haven't repeated myself. Troll thread is still troll thread.

*Waits to be called a confidence man or that I don't have "common courtesy (which to Linh = he deserves stuff for free/deals where he gets increased chance don't get respected or completed if it doesn't happen because increased chance means 100% or it's not an increase)" or that I'm kicking my fellow man or some other nonsense (I don't consider people like Linh who bail because they didn't get what they want as a "fellow man" to begin with though).

ITT: giving people more information when they ask for it is "changing the story".

Maybe don't jump to conclusions quite so fast?

One would think that throwing in the fact that he didn't even help on the second run, would be changing the story (makes him look even worse if you ask me).

It had only been a few mins when I tabbed back in. They were jus finished buffin and started running towards Chlve-whatever when I entered the BC.

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'.

P.S. It was a terrible deal for the OP whichever way you look at it. Until he warped out.

OP said himself he doesn't care for a Defending Ring. Which means, he's only after the tongue. Which means, it was a good deal.

YOYD:
25% chance for tongue
Chance at KB: 5%
Assuming 100% chance for KB tongue drop (which is false, because SE lowered it):
Total chance to obtain a tongue is 30%

If he gives up his shank for a chance to lot the other two orbs:
1-75%^3 = 58% chance to obtain a tongue

How can you argue with that? How is that not better for him (twice as good)?

And the OP understood him wrong, that's all that happened. There's no arguing there, it's not a matter of opinion, the deal couldn't be clearer, there was no need for an additional clause "You lot tongues, we lot shanks", how hard is that to understand? Where is the ambiguity?

Plus he pretty clearly said on the last page that the final deal was not what he thought he agreed to. Even Rog had the sense to see that.

I followed that with "apparently". Apparently meaning supposedly. As in, he said he did not understand the deal. I have no idea if he actually did or not.

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

Rog's Conversation Skill has gone up a few levels. I see multiple sentences in some of his/her posts. Tis a good site to see.

Common courtesy is nice but shouldn't be expected. I pay to play. I owe you nothing and vise versa. Human nature should be expected more than anything. Most people aren't jerks, but everyone wants something and that is when frustration comes in.

[Greatguardian]

I think I love this line, since you expect too much of the OP and the OP expected way too much out of the deal. It's a tad ironic isn't it?

I expect a modicum of intelligence when dealing with people. The OP expected a "courtesy" which has absolutely nothing to do with courtesy. The OP expected to get something for nothing. The OP expected to "Play till you when". The OP expected to get money back on his lottery tickets if he didn't win Mega Millions.

His expectations and my expectations are nothing to be compared.
