Nexus_One · Post by **Nexus_One** » Wed May 19, 2004 9:56 pm

wow, that's just wrong. dan didn't contact you guys to say thanks for the free money? not even a kiss on the neck?

Ferno · Post by **Ferno** » Thu May 20, 2004 1:00 am

Hey dan.

you suck.

Gooberman · Post by **Gooberman** » Thu May 20, 2004 11:45 am

Recieved 5-20-04 from The_Rock

My final statement!!

It kinda saddens me when those who I thought where my good friends weren't there to support me. It's kind of sad, when those so called friends talk ★■◆● behind my back. It amazes me that after two years of successful lans and people going home with tons of prizes. That you all can't understand that this wasn't my fault. That this was out of my power, yet you still assume that i intended to do this. You assume that it was my plan to take all your money. I can't even express the way I feel over something like this. Yet a lot of you un-greatful people, still want to sit there and run your mouth like you have the slightest idea on what happen. It's quite funny how you get all the praise because you through an oustanding lan. Yet when something happens, and the LAN was cancelled. The same ones that praised, are now being snakes and talking ★■◆●. It doesn't really matter what you all think, it's definitely not gonna change who I am. For those that where my so called friends, and yet still talked ★■◆●. You can throw our friendship out the door and don't even contact me. For those that have called me, and sent me emails of encouragement, and supported me on this whole or deal. Thank you very much I greatly appreciate it, and shows me what a true friend you are.

I've played this game since the beginning, and have a lot of fun doing so. I've met some outstanding people, and made some true friends. Friends that i'll still keep in contact with, even though i'm not playing. People like Sickone, Bash, Birdseye (well let me scratch that, I thought he was a friend), Venom, JazzyJett, Scratch, Endy, and a few others. They know the kind of hard work i've put into throwing LAN's, for the past two years. Putting up prizes, that no other LAN has done. All that hard work and effort didn't matter, because look at the
results. All I wanted to do, was give back to the community and make it more fun for everyone. Needless to say, I guess there are many fake posers in our community. Ready to pat your back one day, and the next stab you.

About the Refunds!! As some of you know, I lost the whole deposit on the room. I'm still in the process of taking it to court, and trying to fight for it back. The money will come out of my pocket. I will do my best in refund people their $30 dollars, it make take some time, but i'll do it. For those that need it that $30 dollars, because you are in some type of emergency or bind, just let me know.

In closing, I do want to thank those who've supported me in this hard time. Those that contacted me, and emailed me with ecouraging words. I really appreciate it, and I value your friendship to the fullest. I've had many great years playing Descent, and traveled all over the US because of this game. People like J_Oh, who made this community awesome to be apart of, J_Oh a guy Iâ??ll never forget. Sickone an old school Vet, a guy who has an awesome heart, and gave so much to the D3 community. Bash, another class act guy who's been around for quite sometime. Sfuzzi, the coolest down to earth D3 gal Iâ??ve ever met. Am I sad that I'll never play D3 again, or be apart of this community. Yes and No... yes because Iâ??ll miss many people, and miss all the good times Iâ??ve had. No, to all the drama this community brings, and all the fake ass people you'll meet and encounter. With that said, Iâ??m out!

THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THE FUN!!

Rock

Fern, do you want this open now? You had it closed last night, now open again. Or do we have an admin lurkin?

Hattrick · Post by **Hattrick** » Thu May 20, 2004 12:45 pm

Well, I Had pretty much wriiten off the 30 bux to experience.
I was warned to hold off sending the money, but did so anyway.
Dan, I don't think that you "ripping People off" was what most of the people here were thinking.

But when you fail to post for weeks after concerns were first posted here, People Tend to start thinking that you may be trying something fishy.

You may have been contacting your friends and saying "let everyone know". But thats not you coming and posting it.

Then for your "final post" you send it to goob to post here. That just makes matters look worse.
At any rate, I hope Life treats ya good bro.
I'm glad I got to meet you and Hang out for one hell of a weekend! L8 - Hat

"Then for your "final post" you send it to goob to post here. That just makes matters look worse. "

When Ferno closed this thread last night I sent Dan an e-mail telling him that if he wanted the thread opened, or if he wanted me to post a responce for him, that I would do either. I should have mentioned that.

He didnt just randomly send me something and ask me to post it for him.

Hattrick · Post by **Hattrick** » Thu May 20, 2004 2:16 pm

Thx for clearing that up Goob.

Top Wop · Post by **Top Wop** » Thu May 20, 2004 3:11 pm

That really stinks. Best wishes to both Dan and the people who need their money back, hope it gets resolved in the best way possible.

Nexus_One · Post by **Nexus_One** » Thu May 20, 2004 11:39 pm

Like Hat said, I don't think you can blame people for wondering when you dissappear with their money, and fail to respond at all for THREE WEEKS. I'd be very pissed too. Friends is friends, business is business. Rock apparently forgot that rather large point. Lashing out at those who he by all accounts wrote off is purely immature at very best. Keeping those who sent the registration fees up to date would have been the right thing to do.

I guess the view really isn't that great from up your own ass.

Ferno · Post by **Ferno** » Fri May 21, 2004 12:34 am

Goob:

I did have it closed up until the point where you posted another thread about califest being cancelled. So I went and reopened this on a hunch. turns out it was correct..

what I don't get is why Dan decided to use email to reply instead of coming here. In a way i think it takes more gumption to come here and say your piece instead of through email.

Birdseye · Post by **Birdseye** » Fri May 21, 2004 1:36 am

Funny thing is I have no idea what brought rock's comments about me on. I haven't been on PXO or in chat, and all I posted was 'let's wait for his response' heh

kurupt · Post by **kurupt** » Fri May 21, 2004 1:39 am

birds, you're such a heartless bastard, i swear.

propain · Post by **propain** » Fri May 21, 2004 2:05 am

I was just concerned because I never got a reply to my email or the paypal request for payment.
I've played one game in the last 6 months and visit here only once in a while so I was kind of in the dark. Anyone that knows me knows I dont spend more than a nanosecond in chat. I would have liked to see a mass email or some kind of notification. Seriously, its only 30 bucks, it was the lack of response that was more irritating than the money. It certainly isn't worth all of the drama this is generating.
Dan sorry bro.

I thought the same thing when I read it over. Your responses always seemed to be swimming up stream comparatively.

Birdseye · Post by **Birdseye** » Fri May 21, 2004 2:10 pm

Yeah looking back maybe it was this joke:
"I bet there are still some prizes coming in the mail

"

But maybe he didn't get the joke? heh.

Hey Dan, if you need some money to pay these people back you can sell me your laptop!
