Mission146 is an Insufferable Prick

Greetings!

This is a thread designed to express negative opinions of Mission146. In the world of gambling websites, Mission146 is also known as writer, "Brandon James."

I believe that list format is appropriate for this OP, so let's begin:

1.) Mission146 is a loser.

-Mission146 is a total loser. Mission146 has a rudimentary-enough amount of intelligence that he could have accomplished much more in life with even the slightest bit of drive and motivation. However, Mission146 is not only generally apathetic, but is also profoundly lazy. Mission146 is also disorganized and, in general terms, has a negative attitude towards life.

2.) Mission146 is not that smart.

-It's a pretty widely recognized fact that Mission146 is not nearly as intelligent as he thinks he is. Anyone who has followed Mission146 to any extent will recognize, almost immediately, that he hides his significant intellectual failings behind a veneer of flowery language, ten-cent Thesaurus words and precise grammar/diction. In reality, Mission146 is full of many opinions, but suffers for a lack of actual facts. Not only that, but Mission146's writing style is oftentimes so convoluted and prodding, that it's sometimes difficult to tell what his opinion actually is, assuming he even has one on the subject he has just written a book about.

Even if Mission146 has an opinion, he almost never has an actual point. Or, in the rare event that he does, any such point is lost in paragraphs of wholly unnecessary diversion consisting mostly of stream-of-thought inanities.

3.) Mission146 is arrogant and condescending.

-The only time that you will see Mission146 express a strong opinion, or anything strongly for that matter, is if he is almost assured that he is correct about something. It is a glorious day for Mission146 when this happens, because he will have the opportunity to express his points sardonically and with tremendous condescension.

4.) Mission146 is unctuous.

Unctuous: adj. (of a person) excessively or ingratiatingly flattering; oily

-In other words, in the rare event that Mission146 says anything positive at all, it comes off as overdramatic and fake. We do not know who the real Mission146 is, but are only aware of the character that Mission146 plays in his posts. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to be as genuinely polite and complimentary (when he likes you) as Mission146 portrays himself. Perhaps equally baffling is the fact that Mission146 would present in such a way intentionally.

5.) Mission146 is not funny.

-Mission146 often makes sardonic statements in a manner that is humorous only to him. Everyone else recognizes nearly everything Mission146 says as pointless and annoying, but he sure seems to enjoy himself. On occasion, rare occasion, someone will actually compliment Mission146's words or say that he did indeed say something funny, but we can rest assured that these are pity compliments.

If not pity compliments, even a man throwing darts blindly will eventually hit the bullseye if he throws enough of them. And we all know Mission talks way the fuck too much.

6.) Mission146 is totally unreliable.

-Mission146 is one of the least reliable people to ever live, mostly owing to reason #1. You really can't count on him for anything, because it's impossible to tell if he'll slip into one of his pathetic funks and completely drop off the face of the Earth for a few weeks to a month. Also, see lazy and unmotivated. If you rely on Mission146 for anything at all, other than things he is providing freely, you are making a mistake. He just doesn't care enough about living to be consistent in anything that he does.

-If you make the mistake of talking to Mission146 privately, you'll notice that he likes to talk on the phone. A lot. Even though he doesn't like texting. If you send a text, you might go weeks with no response. If you call him, it's a pain in the ass just to get him off the phone...even though you never really wanted to talk to him to begin with...but, again, he didn't respond to your text.

7.) Mission146 is annoying.

Mission146 is the type of person who always seems to pop up when you least want him around, which is to say, "Anytime he pops up." Also, see the text/call section of #6. It should come as no surprise to anyone, least of all Mission146 himself, why nobody really wants to associate with him outside of the forums. Most folks wouldn't even associate with him on the forums, except he unfortunately pops up for long stretches at a time during which he is very active.

8.) Mission146 has persisted for too long.

-Despite all of his innumerable flaws, Mission146 still remains a staple of several gambling forums and there is no sign of him leaving anytime soon. One would think that he would be long gone because almost nobody actually likes him, but for whatever reason, he continues to pester the gambling community with his continued presence.

9.) Mission146 will answer questions for anybody, but...

-But, that would actually mean having to communicate with Mission146, and let's be honest, who the fuck would want to do that? He's a negative person, has a negative view of life, a negative view of himself and is just generally a displeasure to associate with.

CONCLUSION:

For all of these reasons, Mission146 is an insufferable prick. The best thing that he could do for the gambling community is die, but unfortunately, he's relatively young and in fair health, so that probably won't happen soon enough for everyone's liking. With any luck, he'll one day return to the bottle and accidentally give himself alcohol poisoning.

Do you agree with these thoughts on Mission146? What are your thoughts?

I never really thought about it that much. I just came to the conclusion quickly that you were a mentally disturbed pretentious prick.
I guess insufferable is a good enough adjective though.
What happened today? Did the vise you normally put your balls in break or something?

Nothing in particular. I was called, "Unctuous," apparently by someone under the assumption that I don't already know that. Not everyone is as quick as you are, I suppose. Insufferable is probably the best possible adjective.

Thank you for your concern, by the way.

All I know is what I have experienced first hand and it’s all positive.

When I first met you it was as a Mod on WoV and running the football pool. You always were professional and replied as “Your Friend” and your real first name. It was refreshing and welcoming.

In the past when we met in person, you did something few do, out drank me without even appearing hammered.

Showed me multiple basic AP plays that were new to me at time. Beyond the actual plays I learned how to calculate them and why they made sense. It allowed me to use that information many times over all over the country. It’s the old feed a man a fish compared to teaching him to fish.

We talked in person and online a few times and you helped me in more ways than you know.

And I turned on you during the entire situation with you and Wizard of Nothing on WoV. And you never held it against me.

Bottom line is you may be an Insufferable Prick, but I appreciate the fact I have interacted with you. And you have treated me far better than I deserved. I’m a better person for knowing you and while I don’t always show it, it’s heartfelt.

I wish nothing but the best for you. You Insufferable Prick!

The Boz,

Thank you very much for what you have said!

1.) Knowing Me Personally

I will say that not everyone who has met me in person has always had a positive experience. For one thing, going back to being reliable, while I pay off bets in a timely fashion I almost never pay back loans on time. For this reason, nobody should ever make a loan to me because I am completely unreliable for timely repayment. That being said, I recognize this about myself and always propose obscene interest rates right off the bat, anywhere from 30-100%, simple interest. And, more than that, any loan I have taken gets repaid eventually.

Fortunately, my credit seems to have improved a good deal, so I won't need to ask for any loans directly from people even in the worst of times. That's a good thing for me because credit card or other types of loans will have much cheaper interest rates. I've also discovered that I don't care about money at all, so I can live on very close to nothing. Usually when I do take a loan, it's to perpetuate the continued doing of nothing.

However, if you put more of a priority on timeliness than profit, I am not your guy for loans.

I will say this again: Nobody should make me a loan. It will be repaid, but almost certainly not on time. I fall into funks where I go long periods of time without doing anything.

It's especially ironic because, as Boz points out with the WoV Picks Game, I love giving money away. It's disgusting how much I tip at restaurants and what have you. I guess it gives me a misplaced sense of self-worth and esteem to be so outwardly nice.

In addition to the loans thing, people should just avoid knowing me in person, in general, because I'm irritating. Of all of the friends I've theoretically made in the gambling world, I think only two (and you're one) actually genuinely like me. There are five people who talk to me off of the forums with regularity (you're not one), but I'm pretty sure four of those people don't actually like me. I don't blame them.

I also don't understand why people worry so much about money. If I had every loan that I'll never get back, there'd be low five figures on the desk in front of me instantly. If I do loan money, I never ask about it again and just assume it's gone. Except my father, but that's because getting stiffed by your dad sucks. I don't talk to him anymore and he doesn't even have my number, so it doesn't matter.

2.) WoV Game/Politeness

-Thank you for pointing that out. While I may actually be unctuous, the lesson that I took from my Great-Grandma (R.I.P.) is that there is very rarely a good reason not to be polite. I'm actually every bit as polite to strangers, in person, as I come off on the forums. It's honestly pretty revolting. Putting grocery carts back for people, letting people walk in front of me, yielding the right of way when driving, holding doors...these all sound like nice things....but really they are revolting. I'm embarrassingly predictable and it all probably comes from a misguided need, instilled in my youth, to be perceived as a nice person.

3.) Drinking

-Probably not anymore, I'm afraid. It's officially been well over a year now, but I was quite a prolific alcoholic. The pace that you saw me drinking probably started to slow down about ten hours after we parted ways.

4.) AP Plays

-SSSSHHHHH sharing is bad, mmmkay? I'm glad you were able to put them to good use, though! For the record, I didn't share any plays that were taught to me directly by someone else.

5.) WoN Situation

-Did you? No worries. I must have forgotten. One person apologized to me for things done or not done during that time and I accepted. I don't have any grudges. There's one person who I could hold a grudge against, but finding a way to take me down completely would result in me not writing articles and potentially discussing AP anymore...so I understand his motivations.

In any event, I'm no longer an Administrator there and have no plans to work directly with anyone else anymore on anything in land casinos.

Thank you for all the rest of what you said!

Dignity and $5.00 will get me a disgusting pizza at Little Caesars, and I can even leave the dignity at home as long as I take the five-spot.

The interesting thing about you is I can never tell if you're serious or not. I doubt it. But, just in case you are and really think I'm a cuck, you can have the first punch anytime you want it. From what I've heard, neither of us are going to look too pretty afterwards and I might even lose. It is what it is. I don't think I've ever seen you, so I really have no idea.

Hint: If the picture is not a truth bomb (i.e. Newell dealership) then it is most likely a joke.
You're 100% correct in the doubt in this case. I wouldn't want you to publicly denigrate yourself without having someone chiming in tightening the vise:D
I'm getting too old to fight anymore....I'll leave that to you younger guys.

Do you agree with these thoughts on Mission146? What are your thoughts?

I do not know just what point you are trying to get across here, except to state that you are highly overqualified to fit right in with the rest of the membership. It seems like you have a few real-life experiences to reflect upon, just like everyone else here. I think everyone is glad to have you aboard, where we can all learn from each other's valuable lifetime happenings.

10) My posts are way too f****** long, and there's zero chance AxelWolf will ever read one of my posts word for word.

What I want to know is why Mission146 asked that I never PM him again.

I resisted the impulse (so far) to send him a PM containing a single dot.

I am also resisting the impulse to call him a crybaby for making such a request.

Out of politeness, because there's no point in us corresponding privately if it's not confidential. You shared what I said for the sole purpose of putting additional pressure on me to do what I already said I was going to do and would have done. I don't know why you'd feel the need to attempt to manipulate me into doing something I was already going to do anyway, but I'm not having that bullshit. Had our PM's been on WoV, you'd have added to your ban length for that.

I'd also like to congratulate you on the additional 1.1M+, in 2021, AFTER the meetup with the Wizard; that's not even including the total winnings for that year prior to that. That's a hell of a run. I was especially impressed with the north of 470k you ran up on Blackjack in under three months; I didn't specifically count the number of sessions specifically of blackjack, but a quick eyeball check would have me guess just under 10k/session average profit, or so. Actually, that was from the meetup to the end of that trip; I don't know if you did anything in December of that year, or not. We're getting there.

With that, anything you want to say to me can be said in public.

I thought you said you were done with this forum. I guess no one today means what they say....RIP

Well yes that's another point. Mission146 said that he would post at WOV only in certain threads

Posted at WOV:
I have decided that other than running the Picks contests and promoting my articles, I will NOT be participating on the forum side of things here, or anywhere else, for any reason. The only exception to that is DT.

which would preclude that MDawg Fan Club thread, and yet right after he posted the above, he turned around and started posting in that thread. Again. Which, as I've stated about a dozen times by now, I don't have a problem with anyone's tabulating what has been public record for now years, but as long as anyone is going to all that trouble, he should also carry over the specific posts mde that explain why MDawg wins, and while you're at it, why not include some of the backup posted.

As far as PMs - first of all, whatever Mission146 and I discussed were on another forum and that forum has no rules about disclosing private messages.

Secondly, I believe I disclosed what I wrote to Mission146, not what he wrote. If I did disclose that he was in agreement with what we were discussing, so what? How were we supposed to complete the negotiation of whatever we were discussing anyway if it was not disclosed to the WOV admin?

I was trying to facilitate and negotiate a compromise to this whole thing, how were we going to accomplish that without having what was being discussed or agreed to openly on the table?


$1.1M in a year? Is that all?

I have friends who win that much at the tables sometimes in an hour.

I am actually a conservative player given the size of my credit lines and max special limits.

As I said, I was responding to MDawg here to be polite.

There was nothing to complete and no further action was required on your part. What we were discussing, by definition, required me to disclose it to a WoV Admin; there was no reason for you to do anything.

The congratulations was just a little joke because of how many people don’t believe your adventures. As I’ve already stated, I don’t plan to state any opinion on your reports after my work compiling them is done as I’ll still care about your results just as much as I did last week, which is zero.

Also, I maintain that I wasn’t insulting you in my post. More specifically, there was the Axel/MDawg challenge with discussion that went over six pages and only culminated in you getting suspended for a month. Booorrriiinnggg! There was the DarkOz challenge which I’ve already opined was stupid, imo. I’m also not entertained by people arguing back and forth.

Quite frankly, if the thread consisted ONLY of your reports, then it would be much better. I didn’t even call your trip reports themselves boring. Actually, I rather enjoyed your longer descriptions of a few sessions over at True Passage, if I’m honest. Well-written…could have maybe been cleaner. Much better thread there; no pointless arguing. That’s not to say I enjoy all of your reports; obviously, there’s nothing really to like about the ones that are essentially one sentence that is just results.

Anyway, not posting over here is probably silly. Besides, I can say whatever I want here and Dan has always treated me well. I suppose this place would be better without this annoying little mosquito called, “MaxPen,” but it’s otherwise fine.

One fun fact is MaxPen is short for, “Maximum Penetration.” It’s not a blackjack reference, though, but rather a reference to a gay pornographic film he starred in as the taker. And, he calls me a, ‘Man Slave.’ RIP

Are you referring to the Wizard witnessed session where I played Baccarat?

or the Coach's Challenge where Darkoz was suspended for saying something he could not back up?

That’s the only DarkOz Challenge, isn’t it?

I’m not saying the session was stupid; +$6200, or maybe +$6400 if I recall correctly. I’m not on my computer, so I can’t conveniently check.

I’m saying the challenge itself was stupid; I expressed my opinion of its pointlessness in that very thread, I believe. I believe I opined that it gave you more credibility and the only possible way for it not to have is if you hadn’t shown up at all. I believe I referred to it as an, “Unmitigated disaster,” for your detractors, or some such.

I also defended your results, at that time, as theoretically possible in terms of session win percentage. If your reports can be totally believed, and I’m not saying they can as I’m not offering an opinion on that, it seems that you don’t flat bet (and, actually, seem to have a quiet disdain for flat bettors), and you don’t do anything as strict as a Martingale, but you do show a willingness to sustain huge losses in order to walk out with a small win. I should imagine that this would naturally give you a higher session win probability than flat betting would.

You also commented on a loss rebate, at some point. I believe, in the first Adventures thread, I myself opined that hole-carding (basically, knowing the first card out) was a theoretical possibility that might explain your results.

Obviously, I don’t think you’re catching enough cards to put yourself at a mathematical advantage on its own, if that’s what you’re doing at all…the reason I don’t think that is because you also mention betting into streaks and chops a lot, which is pretty typical Baccarat play, from what I’ve heard. However, if you’re throwing down $10,000 knowing a first card out is a ten, which gives a north of 5% advantage on banker, I believe, then that essentially long-term negates the -EV of several hands of whatever your base bet is.

But, again, just a theory I had. When you return, you’re free to quote that post. I’d appreciate you quote it in its entirety, if you do, as I’d really like to not have to participate in that thread once the tally is posted.

EDIT: +$6915. Didn’t realize you linked right to it. Weird number.

Doesn't really make sense to me that you'd say

and now say it was "stupid."

You sure this hasn't already happened?

It actually seems pretty clear that AxelWolf is going on and off prodigious alcoholic benders the past years. Hence his frequent disappearing acts, periods when he is foaming at the mouth with (even more than usually) unintelligible posts, and other tell tale signs of loss of control.

I'm just trying to figure out why you've been so testy over trivialities lately. You're genuinely insulted over being called a big fan of MDawg in the course of that thread? You really care that some details of a peace treaty we were trying to hash out were revealed to the very admin that was going to have to release me from WOV jail?

In both cases I believe you misconstrued motive but even so, your reaction just seems excessive especially based on that we've never had much conflict until the past month.

Perhaps that Wizard and I were making BBB look bad turned you at least briefly against us, but if so, why are you working tirelessly (and thanklessly) on a project at his forum.

Pretty close to an optimal scenario for MDawg, but like I said before (might not have been here, but I think here also), even assuming that some of the rudiments of his claims are fundamentally true, there is no way this challenge could have possibly gone that badly for him. Even losing (in terms of his perceived legitimacy) during the challenge (but all of the other stuff happening the same way) still does more for his credibility than the detractors gain by way of him losing.

Still intend to meet up and chat music if we're out there at the same time and both available, MDawg.

That aside, it happened, it was stupid and it was a waste of Darkoz's money. The only way that the detractors would have had anything to support their positions is if the meetup hadn't happened. Looks good for MDawg no matter what.

Based on the description of the shoe...when I did my experiment to demonstrate the high probability of winning a session with various systems and/or, "Methods," it looks like I hit the nail almost exactly on the head when it comes to what MDawg is doing. He might be hole-carding, as well.

In both cases I believe you misconstrued motive but even so, your reaction just seems excessive especially based on that we've never had much conflict until the past month.

Perhaps that Wizard and I were making BBB look bad turned you at least briefly against us, but if so, why are you working tirelessly (and thanklessly) on a project at his forum.

---

That wasn’t the admin who would have released you, so that part’s not even true.

Anyway, being called a big fan is offensive for a number of reasons:

1. I was asked to do the project and wasn’t doing it out of any sort of fandom. If literally anyone else had asked I’d have said no and told them to figure it out themselves. Actually, someone did ask me once before, offered to pay, and I declined completely. It wasn’t LilRedRooster and this would have been about a year ago.

2. I think MarcusClark declared himself to actually being in your fan club; being compared to MarcusClark in that way is deeply offensive because MarcusClark is a retard who, as it turns out, was actually lying about his sessions, and consequently, got nuked.

3. I don’t particularly like you, at this point. I was pretty neutral on you and willing to give the benefit of the doubt, even after the BBB insult, but then you started coming at me over something I was asked to do in the first place and never would have done without being asked.

If I specifically don’t like you, then being referred to as a big fan of yours is also offensive for that reason.

Also, it wasn’t a peace treaty.

It was me basically saying I’d inquire about you being unbanned once you being banned no longer happened to benefit me. I’m obviously not going to inquire about that now and am quite happy to see you suspended a full week.

As long as we’re discussing the details, why don’t you bring up that you tried to get me to volunteer to serve seven days (same as you) for a post that ended up only getting me three? The three, I assume, only after you bitched to an Administrator via some off-forum channel. If so, I probably got the three so you’d stop being an annoying pain in the ass and the suspension giver would assume I wouldn’t care about taking three days at all anyway. If they did assume such, then they assume correctly-I don’t mind at all.

Now, what you refer to as a, ‘peace treaty,’ was simply that I was going to see about you being unbanned as soon as I got the work finished and everything posted. Why? You wanted to answer for yourself in the thread after everything was posted. Why are you worried about it? I have no idea. I can’t imagine a world where you’d be nuked for reporting results and people will be extremely limited and have to walk on eggshells to express incredulity…I foresee many bans, in fact.

As stated, I plan to excuse myself from the thread after I finish reporting the results. I’ll be quite content to remain out of it unless you say something that forces me to respond. But, again, this is all a result of something that I wouldn’t have done in the first place if literally anyone else had asked.

So, don’t act like this was some sort of mutual agreement thing. This was a simple matter of me showing mercy because I’d no longer have had a use for you to be banned, at that point. Now, you can just stay banned the rest of the seven days.

But, make no mistake, I absolutely consider being called a big fan of yours an insult.

As far as being able to promptly defend your results is concerned, what I might consider doing is waiting until the evening of the sixth day of your ban to post the remaining results.

Since they’ll be finished and I’m mainly just going to be copy/pasting from Google Docs, it’s something I’ll be able to do pretty quickly.

No negotiation needed. You need only respond with, “I would appreciate that. Thank you.”

That’s in this thread, by the way. You haven’t PM’ed me, but I’m still not going to bother reading, much less responding, to any PM’s sent here. I might consider accepting PM’s from you on WoV, one day, I’ll PM you there if I choose to open up the possibility of actually confidential private correspondence.

I’d also appreciate if you quit projecting your penchant for drama and shit-stirring upon me. I hate drama; you, on the other hand, have the mentality of a female church gossip when it comes to drama. You can’t get enough of it.

Honestly, I can’t even be angry about that. In fact, I pity you. You’ll take attention however you can get it and no amount of money, or gambling, or anything else…is enough to fulfill you or give you the sense of self-worth that you seem to so desperately be seeking. Your narcissistic tone WAY overcompensates, by the way, you might consider dialing that back a bit.

Neither of your parents ever hug you, or something?

Nah actually, if anyone is “full of himself” it would be you – mostly because, you’re not just a shit stirrer but you’re also not a straight shooter. I used to think you were a straight shooter, but you’re not always. At least have the honesty to admit that you get involved in these forum dramas because you want to stir things up, and that you are not necessarily neutral in your approach to everything lately. It's silly actually for anyone to claim that he is entirely unbiased because biases are always present, just that some are able to overcome them better than others.

Just the fact that you got bent out of shape over being called a “big fan” is ridiculous. The fact that you got bent out of shape over that WOV admin was made aware of our peace negotiations is ridiculous. That you got bent out of shape over that I called them peace negotiations is ridiculous. That you feel the need to say “I don’t particularly like you, at this point” is ridiculous.

How about, as Rob.Singer calls it, some refreshing honesty for a change. You got upset because DarkOz was suspended so you stepped in to try to defend him. You got upset because BBB was targeted for not admitting that Wizard had in fact consulted with her so you stepped in to try to defend her. You got upset because I called you a “big fan” so now you’re working overtime even though the person who asked you to do this put a thumb in your eye by suspending you.

You’re also obviously a doormat for the WOV forum because you got suspended over that thread and yet here you are busily tabulating numbers anyway.



Some who see you return to post results merrily even after being suspended will think, wow what a trooper, and I suppose that is the affirmation you seek. Some who see you return to just post results merrily even after being suspended are going to laugh at you. But DON'T feed anyone that lie (you bought that line, not me) about how you don't care how you are perceived or about your subject one way or another.



I DEMAND that you complete the tabulation. I also demand that you bring over to WOV any posts I have made that explain why I am able to win. If your boss has already asked you to do that, then you have to do it anyway, because you are evidently obligated to do whatever he tells you to do.

And I’m sure this isn’t the last we will see of this “new” Mission146 who gets emotional over trivialities. You obviously quit the forums in an uproar over this nonsense.
Over all, I think you get ideas in your head about the way people should be and respond to you and if their actions don’t fit in with your expectations you get bent out of shape, even if you later realize that you misconstrued their motives.

Just the fact that you threw in the towel at all forums over this nonsense shows how emotional and high strung you are right now, so I cannot take much that you say seriously, including that you hate drama. If you hated drama you would not have written volumes over trivialities for a month running straight now. “How about some refreshing honesty for a change.”

I'm absolutely full of myself; I agree 100%.

And, yet, most people on the various forums like me. What could the difference possibly be? Being full of myself whilst being willing to simultaneously acknowledge my flaws? Being likable? Borderline comical, at times?

I don't know, but most peeps seem to like me and despise you.

I'm involved in your stupid bullshit because I was asked to do it. You could have said zero words to me, I'd have posted the results and excused myself from the thread. Honestly, I might have made a post explaining why your results could be possible...I'd actually have to see everything to decide on that.

Hahaha!!!!

Mission146: 7, MDawg: 3

I don't fucking remember the Darkoz interaction; I already tried to tell you that once. It's probably somewhere in your Mission146 dossier; I'm certainly not going to go looking for it. Why would I defend my position again? You think I give a fuck if you respect me or not, dog?

The results are getting posted, G. You couldn't even manipulate me into doing something I was already going to do (how did you fuck that up?) and you think you're going to manipulate me into not posting the results by trying to play on a psyche that you have zero understanding of? Laughable. Everything you do is more predictable than a shoe of Baccarat with you sitting as the player.

I haven't been asked to do that and I am certainly not going to at your demand. I accepted the task of tabulating results; anything I add to that is at my choosing. If you made any such posts in the threads referenced in the posts, then I imagine you'd be allowed to do that yourself. Why should I do your work?

But, hey, if DEMANDing I do something (tabulation) that I was already going to do anyway makes you feel like a pit bull, rather than a poodle, dog, then you can have it.

Your motives are impossible to misconstrue; you are as much of a dickhead as you can possibly be, at all times, in order to get attention. There are only two exceptions to this rule:

1.) You have a use for someone and you think feigning kindness will get you what you want.

2.) You have a use for someone and you think if you just annoy them enough they'll eventually capitulate to what you want.

You're really just not that complicated.

Honestly, I've kind of been having fun with you here. It'll get tiresome for me a lot sooner than it does for you, I assure you. You're more fun when there's nobody you can complain to who will do anything about me.

Again, I am already completing the tabulation. I was doing that whether you demanded it, or not. You can bring the posts that explain how you can win yourself. Go gather them up, or have a paralegal do it.

You want me to do it? $5,000.

As you probably have seen, I think, your TruePassage trip reports were incorporated by reference on WoV. In fact, you specifically directed readers there and even stated that you had Wizard's permission to do so. You made a similar post, directing people who wanted more details to True Passage, during the 7.5 month trip of 2021. I wanted more details; you directed people who wanted more details there; you had Wizard's permission to do so; that's where I went.

The only thing that I will do, short of you paying me $5,000, is that I will suggest to Wizard that you should be allowed to share any posts at True Passage relating to your playing style since I am getting results from there...at your encouragement, I reiterate.

That's it. I'm not bringing anything over for you, short of you pay me $5,000 to go through it again.

Well, what about going forward. It's up to you if you'd like to do that. Just copy/paste the URLs of any posts you think might be relevant to this project and then PM me the list when you are done. I won't PM you back unless you lift that request that I never PM you again. :)


What I like about you is that you calm down pretty quickly, you're not like UNKewlJ by any means in that respect. I suppose you had a momentary meltdown yesterday but you're back at the forum gradually returning to business as usual today and that's good.

Pretty damned accurate personality profile.

Worst thread ever.

The OP was hilarious.

Not only that, but Mission146's writing style is oftentimes so convoluted and prodding, that it's sometimes difficult to tell what his opinion actually is, assuming he even has one on the subject he has just written a book about.

I mean, come the fuck on! That's absolutely true and hilarious.

I suppose the first thing is that every individual session is linked up until the meetup with Wizard. That is the case for what has already been posted on WoV and I suppose it would be a bit unreasonable of me to refuse to share with you what I am going to post and already have completed; I can't imagine it will be very helpful to you as most session details are sparse other than to clarify amounts. For example, if you said, "About $5,000," then I probably went with $5,000 but noted you said about. If you said, "Just under $3,000," then I probably tallied it as $2,800, or something, and noted that.

The exception to this is everything AFTER the Wizard meetup for the 7.5 month trip. I cited the entire thread at TruePassage as there were very few posters besides you, so I figured anyone can match the date up to individual posts, if they wanted to. Your session reporting was also much clearer, in terms of amounts, so I didn't have to add very many notes at all.

In the meantime, I'm hoping your second thread DOESN'T refer readers to TruePassage; the reason for that is because this should probably be shorter if it doesn't as the second Adventures thread will be everything left. As far as I am concerned, since I am using TruePassage, my opinion is that you should be allowed to cite anything you want to ONLY for the purposes of that WoV Thread and ONLY such as is relevant to your results. If you wish, I will convey my opinion of that to Wizard; if Wizard is not the person who asked me to do this, there's really no reason to ask them...this is really more of an Administrative (WoV) issue. I will convey to Wizard that you should be permitted to use any pertinent True Passage quote related to these sessions or your playing style since some of the data is coming from there. Naturally, I don't control whether or not he will agree with this.

As far as the rest goes, if a session report (future) gets into your playing style in a way that I think could be relevant, then I will share that with you. Your posts are usually pretty clear, from the beginning, whether or not they are reporting results. I have mostly been skipping ones that are evident they don't and not even reading them. If I happen to notice one that might be useful to you, then I will share it. It will appear in parenthesis if it's not actually contained in my reports. I will not type an explanation of why I have included it; you can determine its usefulness.

Pretty damned accurate personality profile.

I pity the fool.

---

I was in Vegas with two barely legal teenagers, one was my gf at the time, the other her (or rather, our) gf and we had been living together that summer as a triad, and as we walked through a casino this guy looked and said, "I pity the fool."

What he meant of course was that I must be going through or putting up with a lot of shit to have those two insanely hot girls in tow, and I suppose any triad has more issues than the standard couple arrangement, but anyway...

V...

Flattery will get you nowhere.

As far as M146, he had to blow off some steam, and I respect that; otherwise, I just finished roasting a duck and if he were up in Tahoe I might even call him up and say, Get over here you big dummy!

https://i.imgur.com/zlFASpIl.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/HGeqzjgl.jpg

You will notice that I don't react to insults too much, am certainly not as reactionary as most.

BTW I would NOT invite V, because he's almost never shown an inkling to be much more than a cantankerous a-hole, not a lot of glimmers of light in that dark tunnel. Short of sitting around blazed and listening to music without saying much, I can't see his being much of a dinner party guest.

Well, I can say if MisterV and I were both in Tahoe, if he's not invited, then I'm not coming either because I'm probably already hanging with him. No offense.

Really, none meant. I think in my VCT Meetup joke, I was mostly sitting with MrV that night. I had you and Boz hitting it off and just loving each other's company because I thought that was hilarious. I won a $1 bet against ZenKing and he started dreaming up ways he might kill me; he also decided that the NFL is rigged and coordinated the next play of the game with me as that's what he lost the bet on.

Boz and I actually get along famously most of the time via PMs. I'd say we have a sort of wary mutual respect for each other, most of the time.

V isn't a bad guy, but I just get the feeling that he's more or less the same in person as online. For example the way he reacted when confronted in person at the WOV social function about being an a-hole. If I were confronted in that situation, I'd have laughed something along the lines of, of course I'm an a-hole! and we would've ended up drinking together (except that I don't drink, but bonded anyway). Instead he turned it into a dark defiant moment, which fits the way he acts online too, hence my belief that he's probably about as much of a jerk off in person as online.

UNKewlJ too, I'm sure he's just as much of a tinny whiney insufferable type in person as online.

DarkOz, I'm sure he's just as stubborn and out there with his bizarre quirks in person as online.

What you see on the forums is what you get in person, with me; my temper is probably much worse in person, though.

This poll is RIGGED. I TRIED to vote "No," but the only options are Yes and Yes! RIGGED I tell ya, RIGGED!
