Side feud? I have no side feud with Zenking. I think I have been in his corner far more than can be expected.
When he signed up at WoV and began posting, I publicly stated that it wasn't right how the membership was openly rooting against him and "baiting him" into suspensions.
When he moved to Vegas and was having difficultly bouncing around with living arrangements, I seriously considered inviting him to stay at my house as I had an extra bedroom at the time. I decided to give him a little time to see what he could do on his own first, and then within a few months, I had my heart surgery, so the timing just didn't work out.
After he moved to Vegas and was struggling with early negative variance, I contacted Axelwolf (and Axel should be able to verify this) and asked him to meet with Zenking and see if there was anything he could do as far as helping him get into some non-card counting AP stuff. I thought it would be good for Zenking to diversify a bit. To his credit, Axelwolf and a couple other WoV members had either already met with Zenking or had a meet up planned (I forget which). And it is my understanding that Zenking showed no interest in any other AP stuff. His sole interest was card counting, which I of all people can appreciate.
After Zenking began posting about his early negative variance in Las Vegas, I contacted him privately (I think through another site) and damn near shared my own rotation of stores with him, telling him what places to avoid (most of the strip)
And through it all he continued to bad mouth me, directly or indirectly blaming me for his early lack of success. I mean I don't know what more I was supposed to do. Keep in mind, I am a card counter, playing a home rotation of Las Vegas, so there is or should be some protecting my turf. I think I went far and above the call of duty. But Like Boz said, Zenking never appreciated anything and with his rants and attitude and accusations, makes it hard for anyone to not root against him.
