Isn't having multiple accounts at the same time nuke-worthy? Plus, I thought it was obvious (or semi-obvious) that seriouslyfunny was B79 or some other troll.



It is. And the evidence leaned toward him being a dupe. But we like to be certain, you know? We've had members be wrongfully banned before, and it's not pretty. And one day it may be you or a poster you enjoy under scrutiny, and I'm sure you would appreciate the patience. So we wait.

Potentially they could ask a new member to refrain from posting or else . That would require a mod to now do extra work.



It's not so much "the work". I mean, we're not that lazy =)

Nearly every single new member who makes a mistake is gently corrected by all of us. It's no problem, and easy to do. But as I said previously, I too thought something was up. Since I was unwilling to ban on an assumption, as I just told RS, and didn't want just a 3 day cool down that a minor breach would give, I let him run free. So instead of letting him have one day of disruption and having him come back tomorrow off suspension, he got two days of disruption and is now gone permanently.

I'm beginning to think people add a zero or 2 what they really bet if they are able to mask behind a persona such as a forum alias.

The formula is on page 376 of the Official Guide to Gambling Web Forums from the Nevada Department of Miscellaneous Stuff:
Quote: OGGWF - NDMS

[stated $v gambling exploits] / [(avg. postcount per day) * 3.14159] = actual $

Unless a husband, wife, or mom is present to view said forum:
Quote: page 379

[(actual $v) / [(age or length of marriage) * 3.14159] = stated $v gambling

Sorry you read it that way Ace, that was not my intent. I think I will just end this sidebar.

I have no ill will for AoS and I enjoy reading the trip reports. I was not trying to start a brush fire here, but this forum has really gotten to the point every word written is scrutinized for hidden meanings and other nonsense.
I hereby offer my public apology to AoS for having 'apparently' unintentionally cast aspersions on his character.

sorry for multiple edits. Poxting is hard to do from a phone.

I was contacted by B79. In my opinion Axel has this guy figured to a Tee. I had never talked with him before, however, he had my cell which I had sent via email.
He wanted to know if I was mad. He kind of caught me off guard when calling as I was eating lunch at the time.
He was never in Vegas, called from Chicago. He has no intentions of fulfilling the wager. He definitely doesn't seem like a high limit player. He wanted to make it right for my loss when he is supposedly coming in July. He seemed kind of normal on the phone at first.
However, when I had a chance to think about his 20 minute ramble after hanging up, he might have mental issues. The details of the rambling will go unsaid unless bits and pieces help to fulfill inquiries by other board members.
I have no intentions of having any kind of meetup with him in the future. For the record, I could care less about the wager.
Sorry, I called a troll a troll, will try to refrain from doing so in the future.

He probably has a believable sob story and he's playing the victim. She has been kind of defending him along the way.

IMMEDIATELY after his "he died in my arms" story was debunked, we should've tared and feathered him.

Max is an intelligent good guy. He has been upfront and reliable. No BS stories, bragging or anything abnormal.

I'm very certain what he said was true.

I'm glad this B79's true colors came to light.

I don't have the impression B3 would be overly shy or helpless in dealing with someone being a creep. I have the impression the main question resulting from serious industrial strength creepyness would be where to dispose of his remains.

"I basically have removed joyglen from the board. He had difficulties following the rules and, long story short, once the attacks turned personal, I felt no further need to try to work things out with him. I believe we came to an understanding in our latest exchange of emails and I truly wish the best for him and his family."

This is from a thread about some members who left VMB. I believe that B79=joyglen.

Yep a 'mess'. But the mess seems to have been resolved for now. Maybe a good time to send my thanks to the man behind the curtain, and the Mods, and I would like to include those many of the blues that help this thing police itself. Quite an accomplishment for all involved. I just hang here occasionally for jhits and grins, but the whole house (in it's entirety) is pretty Fing amazing.

I think most of us saw that ending coming, save for a few hangers on. That's how these guys operate. They play it right down to the wire, even believing their own lies.

Truth be told, I think some here miss him and his delusions. Some may even think that he added value to this site.

You'll get no argument from me that he was a different type of guy. He definitely had a lot to say. In the beginning he was very easy going and approachable. I was entertained by him. I just feel bad for whoever lost money because of what happened. But everyone knew the possibilities. That's gambling I guess. You can't really say him not showing up wasn't a possibility, especially when you're betting on that person actually showing up.

Max seem like a cool guy though.
