Summary: If you're bored, go kill something, don't bet at casinos with good odds. Thanks Tehmule, thanks a lot. I want my 100k back, plus the 200k I won.

(Censored: A few /tells, a LS conversation, and some shouts for a skillup PT.)

EDIT: Hey, look, a GM convo!

Tehmule, eh... I was in Jeuno and heard the guy shouting as well, and he was like "i'm quitting" so I was like oooh ok! But then I remembered having my Serket Ring stolen. So I'm like, 'oooh, there's Drebond!'

5 minutes later, Drebond's like 'lol, that guy stole 100k...'

I love knowing really really rich people ^_^

I'm really sorry this happened, but hopefully you will recover the 100k. I'm not gonna judge you on the casino thing, it's not as if I've never done anything I shouldn't have.

Agreed with Kamakaze, though: what the crap was with the GM going all...Yoda on you? 'The GM Tryslyn does not intend to teach the Black Mage'. That's roflworthy.

Just a word to the wise.

If the character who you just traded 100k to is named "tehmule", or something similar or containing the world mule in it at all, you can expect to lose that money and never see it again.

It sucks that you lost 100k, but honestly, I have no sympathy for anyone who bet money on something that was obviously (or at least, to me) a scam.

Does Tehjew still play? Sounds kinda similar. Ask him if he knows anything. Though "teh" is a common misspelling so lord knows.

Tehjew still plays, in a sense.

Minidragon and Tehjew were sold to someone else, so if you had known Tehjew a while ago, it's not the same people.

No.
Tehjew sold his account to mini, Mini is still the original and an unsold account.

So.. just to get this straight...

You had your gil over to a complete stranger, with no real assurance that you'll even get your "winnings" or get your gil back at all... and you're surprised when you get scammed?
Smiley: confused Smiley: confused

Sorry if I seem a little harsh here.. but geez, what is this, a warning to exercise common sense?

Do you think its his evil plot to slowly vamp out your IQ?

I think you two may be on to something here. I wonder if hes hoarding them for himself or selling them on Ebay. I bet heis. Spent. I will buy 1 ea. of Alauce's IQ and Wintaru's IQ for 5 bucks (but I expect you to pay for shipping). Is it a deal?

Now as far as casinos go. No one who loses money in any game of chance has any gob-pity, wether it was because you actually lost the game or because youwere scammed. SE should just go ahead and add gambling intot he game for uas in the next Expansion. I wouldnt mind a casino boat. That would actually be kind of cool.

Moral of the story (well theres two, bit then again arent there always?)

1. Dont give your money to strangers. The is very vital to your success. If you give your money to folks you dont know for any reason then can you blame them for not speaking english when you want it back? Hell if people gave me money al day I think i could unlearn me some english as well.

2. Dont gamble with money you need for other things. You are gambling after all, and buy the nature of the game the house, wins more than you. If it didnt, then the word "casino" wouldnt be in a dictionary anywhere because they wouldnt exist. SO when you gamble dont ***** about the odds. You are likely going to loose. That is how the game is played. If the house couldnt make a steady profit, there would be no house at all.

That is all.
