Members with a bad rep?

[Shrapnoid]

I haven't been here long enough to check everyone out but, aside from myself, what is it exactly about these other members that so many here seem to detest that is so bad?

I'm just asking because I'm curious. Can someone shed a little light on this to give not only myself but, other new members some idea of what to expect from *those* members without having to wade through all of their previous posts or at least give us a list of them so, we'll no who to check out?

[Arkhan Asylum]

RoyVegas will act like teh coolest member around.  An all around sweet dude that wants to help the community.  Then you hook him up and he flips it on ebay for $$$$$$$$$ and goes LOL WHUT. QUIT WHINING UR JUST JELLY. 

He's a waste of oxygen.

[Shrapnoid]

Okay. Until Roy or someone who wants to back him comes in with a reply, we'll just say,

Pro-Roy: 0 pts.
Anti-Roy : 1 pts.

How's that?

[Arkhan Asylum]

Roy ignores me on this forum.  He can't see that I've said anything. 

[CrackTiger]

Arkhan is known by everyone to be a supreme asshole who goes out of his way to undercut the profit margins of innocent sellers who are just trying to earn an honest living. Like poor Royvegas, who had a hard enough time making mortgage payments on his new house while spending thousands a month buying games on eBay after flipping his Turbo collection. He was just trying to feed his wife and kids when Arkhan came along and listed several copies of the rare promo items Roy had on eBay. Arkhan undercut him by like 90% and going by what Roy said about his situation at the time, social services likely swooped in and took his children away.

Arkhan destroys families. Roy however continues to contribute to the community, posting photos of himself with the troll expression in front of projected images of games he does not own, whenever othets are feeling down about having trouble finding that one last game to complete their collections.

If it weren't for Roy, Magical Chase wouldn't be so easy to find. Before he created the market for it, it wasn't up for sale very iften. So the bext time soneone complains about having a hard time finding Magical Chase, remind them of how much worse it was vefore Royvegas.

BlueBMW is another SOB who's screwed over countless collectors.  Where Arkhan devalues software, Blue makes our hardware nearly worthless.  His repair services are a joke:  here we are, living in a capitalist society, and not only does he work for peanuts, but he maliciously underbids every other repair service.  With their leaky capacitors, working Turbo Duos should have gone up in value faster than Magical Chase.  Eight years ago, they were one of the hottest investments on the retro market.  I even talked those chumps at TZD into selling me a new Duo when Meteor Blaster jammed my laser.  Unfortunately, Blue came on the scene spewing this goddamn "charity" and "community" crap and single-handedly saved countless units from the landfill.  My portfolio tanked and it's been a bear market ever since.  Now I can barely triple my money unless my Duo's are factory sealed or at least complete in box with matching serial number.

[jperryss]

And let's not forget all those copies of Sapphire that BlueBMW just handed out like they were yesterday's trash! How's an honest seller supposed to gouge someone $500 for a bootleg copy (passed off as a real copy, no less) when this clown is just giving 'em away?

[guyjin]

Wait, Royvegas is still here? I thought he got the fuck out of dodge? I guess that explains why Mike Helgeson is white knighting him.

Actually, I couldn't give a flying fuck what happens to Roy "Bake a Cake" Vegas. Sorry I didn't include your horrendously hideous self in on the in-joke. Silly me, I guess I'm supposed to explain everything I do to everyone around here, even the slow fucking retards like you.

Do you make it your life's work to go gallivanting about the web, trying to get a rise out of people?

[jayamine]

Mommy, I saw a man watching hardcore porn on the library computer. What's a rimjob?

[Alt-Nintega]

Helgeson for being an all around dick that should have been banned years ago. I'm sure some of you here would agree with me. If not you ate too many paint chips.

[nat]

That was Nintega just there, lest anyone think it was actually a person with any shred of credibility.

Normally during his annual visit I let him sniff around for a while; at the very least, he's good for a couple rounds of boxing in the shoutbox before the TKO. Seeing as the shoutbox no longer exists, letting him stick around has lost its luster.

Damn straight!  Your Duos wont be worth the scrap plastic they're made of when I'm done here!

[Joe Redifer]

I have actually purchased from Mike and the transaction went very well.  Just adding my 2 cents to nat and Nintenga's posts.

[HercTNT]

LOL, nice blue

[OldRover]

Aside from Nintega and Validus, I can't think of anyone here who's really been irreversibly stupid. Even RoyVegas has his high points, despite being an internet keyboard warrior intent on scalping games.

[HercTNT]

I'm fairly new here so I have missed most of the rivalries. For me everyone seems fine. The only person I have seen anyone crap on is Joe here in fighting street. I dont know Joe, but he was a regular over at the pier solar forums and he was highly regarded over there. I never had any issues with him or anyone else for that matter.

[OldRover]

Joe's only deal is his dislike of Arkhan. But no one really even paid attention to that until Arkhan called him a pussy. Like him or not, Arkhan's a pretty influential person around here, so him getting banned over a first offense was overkill and everyone noticed. Sure, Arkhan will piss ya off, but he always does it within the rules. He stepped out of line that time, but it really wasn't ban-worthy... Joe just has a bone to pick with him so he took the heavy handed approach. I have no problem with Joe other than that one time... he's always been a pretty decent guy.

The only people I've ever really had issues with were Mike and Emerald Rocker. Mike used to be a bit of a dick to me (I think because I hated his favorite games) but then things were cool. Emerald Rocker had it out for me for years and I never did figure out why. He would deliberately antagonize me for no apparent reason. But when it started getting old and I stopped paying attention, he backed off. He tried one last time on the shoutbox to piss me off by trying to pit me against the Pier Solar team. That attempt imploded and left him looking like a chump. He's never tried since. Not long after that, ER and I did some business, and he's actually a pretty good guy when it comes to sales... definitely a straight-shooter.

I try not to make enemies... it serves no purpose in the end. I guess that kind of attitude only comes with experience.

[HercTNT]

I have no interest in upsetting anyone. I like the concept of fighting street were people can air things out. I could care less if anyone says something bad about me. Its not like i'm ever gonna meet them face to face. Working with people is alot better than working against them is more important for me anyways. You never know when your gonna need them.  I'm just a wise ass sometimes because, after all, this is fighting street and its fun to comment. Besides I created a thread to give people a chance to shit all over me for the hell of it and no one is intrested. I thought i was doing a community service

Yup, welcome to high school continued....

^^^ that.

More like Jr. High.

I've met several of the guys on here face to face   Dont count that possibility out just yet!

[Arkhan Asylum]

I think the only people here I would probably start swearing at in person are Joe Pussifer and Roy "bake a cake" Vegas.  Joe for being a clueless moron gamer  (HOWD U GUYS KNOW ALLTHESE NINJA GAMES? WHATS THE INTERNET? I COULD GOGLE THIS STUF?. etc.) and Roy for being Roy.


..."bake a cake" vegas.  hah.  See, mike's not that bad.  He comes up with crap like that.

Now I picture Roy in a dress (that he already owned from his army days), baking a cake, talking to his copy of magical chase like its a real human being, while his family sits in the other room flipping through mental-home pamphlets to send him off to.

Plus, Joe is a shitty moderator.  There's autistic chimps that could do better.

Like Roy.

I don't know, man.

I picture Mike as some guy in a straight jacket with hair even wilder than mine, just screaming at the top of his lungs with a bad case of turrets syndrome and drool running down the side of his neck. 

[Arkhan Asylum]

no, that's Geralds

[Nazi NecroPhile]

Even if that were 100% accurate, he'd still be far more believable and coherent than yourself.

P.S. - Since you like being the forum police / grammar Nazi, it's Tourette Syndrome; turrets are small towers.

[Arkhan Asylum]

The way mike posts could be called turret syndrome maybe.

Darn, that fluoride!! My memory is disappearing! Oh, no... That means. That means I might loose all of precious gaming memories too! Yikes!

Was the fluo a fun ride? 

[PCEngineHell]

..."bake a cake" vegas.  hah.  See, mike's not that bad.  He comes up with crap like that.

I believe there is some picture here somewhere in a prior post from a few years back of Roy, and maybe Winddancer too, standing there beside a cake they baked or some shit. I think it was directed at Sini, I'm not positive though. It made me think of Roy sitting there with a little girls easy bake oven though, making 10 to 20 little cake squares, so that eventually he'd have a full size cakes worth to place icing on, because to him, that was the fast and easy route. That, or he just bought one at Krogers bakery.

He just seemed like the type who'd either always put the harder work off on others, or who would always go for the quick and easy way. I'm not going to sit here and argue the semantics of him flipping games for profit, as I think anyone should get their games actual worth on the real market. Just stating, I don't give a flying fuck about him one way or the next. I never did, for other reasons, like collecting sealed games. Him doing that and being in this forum, it just felt counter productive. I play what I buy. If you don't want to play what you buy, I'm sure there are other forums out there somewhere where guys just talk about staring at the games packaging.

[Arkhan Asylum]

Roy's just a dick.  He's the type to play the nice guy card until he's got what he wants.

He probably had some little girl do the easy baking for him so he wouldn't have to do that work either.

Then he ate it all in her face and took her oven after.

[Shrapnoid]

Wow, Mike. You really can be funny when you want to. That made me giggle.

R.I.P. Team Bake a Cake 2009

Make?  Hell no, I'm not that creative.  That cake came straight from my local grocery store.  

Like I said, he took the easy way out.

[Arkhan Asylum]

He probably ate the cake and returned the empty box and said he wanted his money back too.

[Alt-Nintega]

hmm  interesting thread
