auralex14, while I disagree with your opinion, you have been reasonable. I think we both agree that a better solution would have been that Thanos sent us back the $3,000 he agreed he stole and then we did arbitration over the $7,000.
Thanos refused that. He knows he would owe the full amount from any reasonable option so he refuses them. He finally gives two options (with duress), both hugely in his favor. Either take a fraction of what he owes, lie for him, and clear his name, or get nothing.
This is not a unique situation that only has 2 possible options. These are the only 2 options because Thanos refused anything else.
In the biggest online poker forum, you are advocating a player getting away with following:
- Going into makeup
- Multi-accounting to dodge makeup
- After caught multi-accounting, stealing from their backer
- When they aren't dropped over stealing, breaking their contract and quitting
- As they quit, stealing from their backer again
- Paying back less than 3% of the money owed over the next 18 months
- Cashing for over 3x the amount owed and not contacting the backers about a payment
- Extorting the backer with a "take it or leave it" demand with any offer he wants
I'm not saying that you are ok with him doing it, but you are advocating him getting away with it.
With the same idea in mind, we are not at all saying it's ok to lie to a player in order to get them to make payments. We are saying Thanos vetoed any reasonable options. With the very unique specifics of this situation, lying to Thanos was obviously the least unreasonable option.
1. I never multiaccounted to dodge make up. how can i dodge make up even if i play with another account other games other than spins?
2. you didnt caught me multi accounting, i told you so by myself because i needed reload for spins. (i had already taken the 3300 from the account)
3. Is it true or not, that i started to pay you back 100 per month and you declined it after 3 payments because it wasnt enough for you?
4. im gonna find one more guy to put in 25% plus auralex's 25% and im ok putting the 50% for doing the arbitration, im not afraid of it of course.
