MonkeyFest 2015
Quote: rxwine
Silkscreen this onto a couple t-shirts, it's
about an event that never happened. I
know the Wiz would wear his.
With confidence running very low that Bac79 will show up, I suggest we move the event away from the pricey Bellagio and someplace where we can slum it a bit. In particular, the SLS. I am still not promising to go but my odds will get better if we move it to somewhere less snooty than the Bellagio.
Maybe you can make your own personal shirt, not sure about that.
glad I didn't
but wouldn't you know this guy ...
Sunday, which means he's read
none of the PM's sent to him. It's
almost like he's planning on not
showing up at all.. Who could have
predicted that.
Oh, wait. Never mind..
Quote: GreasyjohnMaybe he's superstitious.
Maybe the monkey ran away.
I'd try opening a can of catfood, that always seems to get the cats to come out of hiding. Or perhaps open a banana, but do it LOUDLY.
Quote: OntheButtonMaybe the dude had something come up that is more important. Or maybe he is just all talk. I was looking forward to the results of the Monkey challange.
nah, the guy has had time to start 5 new threads a day just a month ago. I think he could find the time to post just 1 reply in a week's time. I think he's all talk.
Quote: MoosetonAm I the only one here having a déjà vu experience here? This just seems like it already happened with a different poster than B79 playing every one to get together and then turning into Professor Chaos. I imagine him talking out loud to himself "Hoo Haa! They'll all be thirsty and hungry... And expecting free food... Drinks too... And they'll be disappointed from not collecting my obviously horrible wager, ha ha ha. Chaos reigns once more!"
Well, he can't come back unless he has one hell of a story. If it's a so-so story he knows he'll get grilled.
It's either Big Story, or Say Goodbye.

1) Maybe he was abducted by the Lucchese crime family because he didn't want to pay kickbacks.
2) He's in the witness protection program.
3) The stuffed monkey lost it's psychic powers and he's incredulous.
4) He's having an affair.
5) The monkey uped and disappeared.
6) He stole an $800,000 piece of machinery and he's on the lamb.
Yeah, it's hard because making plans takes almost no time. He had enough time to say that he didn't have time to make plans...that's also enough time to just make the plans.

Right while you were quoting me I edited out all the 1-7 humor. So I erased it too late. So I might as well include #7 which I wrote right after you quoted me.
7) He's really a fifteen-year-old girl that likes gamblers.

8) is something about Axel and monkeys and fear, right? That seems like a legit issue...:-)
It's not whether you win or lose. It's do you have the monkey?
He had a few people fooled. Even just recently BBB April 19th, 2015 at 4:06:58 PMQuote: MoosetonAm I the only one here having a déjà vu experience here?

Quote: beachbumbabsI'd be willing to bet he will show, but he never said anything about doing it downtown, so you're kind of changing the terms to put it at the GN. Haven't talked to him, however, and certainly not speaking for him. But it's his bet, he should be able to set the place, maybe work with people on the timing.
I profited from his shenanigans +$125 betting this wouldn't happen. I seriously always doubted this would ever happen, but I figured It was possible. I sold off action as well.
He had a few suspicious stories that was a tip off from the start. (true or not it raised some eyebrows).
I was fairly confident this wasn't going to happen when he wouldn't put up or shut up like he himself suggested. He had plenty of time to get AOS or someone some good faith money. He avoided that conversation like the plague.
I brought it up a few times while he was active on the forum, he glazed right over it, as if it wasn't brought up.
I can tell you he's a real person. I think He was way more down to earth than his posts here suggested. He seems like a good old boy in his normal life.
I believe he definitely works in the road spill clean up business. I'm confident he plays baccarat but, I doubt the limits he claims.
It's like he was putting on a alter ego show and got caught up in it. Almost as if he was expressing who he would like to be especially when he's gambling.
It seems he looked up to AOS and his higher rolling BJ lifestyle, known lawyer, trip reports and WOV celebrity status.
Yes I was going to give you action on the bet Friday.Quote: djatcBoo this man. Boo!
Quote: AxelWolfYes I was going to give you action on the bet Friday.
Didnt b79 request you lock up te money with mission146 as well?
He didn't request it, I just did it because I assumed he was going to do it with AOS.Quote: djatcDidnt b79 request you lock up te money with mission146 as well?

He did indeed seem down to earth and looking to connect with like minded people/gamblers -- it's a shame hat didn't come through in his posts - I think he felt he needed to come in with fantastical stories to gain the ear of the board when he only needed to be himself
He could have merely posted baccarat TR and we would have been interested - no need to embellish or make any attempt to become an Internet celebrity - just be yourself and let things happen naturally

His stories I'm not sure about but, It's not hard to back up the truth and don't need a good memory if you just tell the truth.
Quote: AxelWolfHe had a few suspicious stories that was a tip off from the start. (true or not it raised some eyebrows).
That bit about having people "die in his arms" ... that alerted me. Although possible, it was pretty dramatic

The red flags went up almost immediately.
Gives multiple versions of the same story.
Changes the subject.
Brings up a subject then refuses to discuss it.
Becomes defensive.
Gives unnecessary explanations.
These are some of the traits of a pathological liar. I'm not accusing anyone of being a pathological liar, just listing some of the signs. There is a lot of information out there on this. I suggest taking a few moments to look it up. It's very enlightening.
To the few hangers on I say good luck waiting for an explanation. To those who made plans, who believed in this, I'm sorry it didn't work out. Don't let it make you become jaded. Any frustration is understandable, in fact one person compared it to the guy who didn't pay his bet. We all know what happened there, don't we secret admin? Wink, wink.
Everyone relax and enjoy fabulous Las Vegas. Perhaps give the new member who is advertising massages in his post and blog a call. It's only 40 bucks.
People made plans in good faith for this week in Vegas. People looked forward to this. Crucify the guy who didn't pay a bet but remain silent about this? No contact, no message, no explanation and everyone is okay with it?
Secret administrator, I'd like to hear what you think about this. Maybe you could wear a hood and disguise your voice. Maybe you no longer exist. Some people are easily duped, others are not so easily duped.
There's still time.Quote: 1BBWhere is the outrage? You know, the outrage that was shown against a longtime member who didn't pay a bet. Outrage that resulted in a nuke by a so called "secret administrator, Forum Rules be darned. A bet where all the details were not known.

I don't think many people were confident he would show up.
I'm not aware of anyone who made plans "out of their way" to meet up with B79 nor made plans for LV solely to meet with B79. But perhaps I'm wrong.

When the bets that were made involving B79 are not paid in a timely manner (and we need to remember that time was given for the issue you bring up to be resolved BEFORE it became a thread and nuke situation), then it would be appropriate to call B79 out and, if it is forum custom now, unleash the nuke option on him.
I don't know of anyone who make a special trip to Vegas for this; I think it was all people who were already going to be there. Lots of people plan to do things and then they don't happen, that isn't as significant to me as the "welching"...if "welching" indeed happens. I don't think anyone is really "okay" with it, but what actionable item, based on the rules or customs of the board, has happened? People have been expressing displeasure about the issue and this is appropriate.
Anyway, I am not sure why seem to always be taking the admins to task. Their jobs are low pay and low reward--they mostly can only screw up (in our opinions) and be noticed; otherwise they are just there. I don't particularly like everything that has happened with them, but I am sure I would make someone made if I was a admin, too.

it is still early. Wasn't the meet to happen like today. Obviously once the date passes there shall be outrage.
but, to think people made plans for a week for a monkeyfest is just silly. Isn't there still a WOV gathering?

I'm not sure what to think about the plan making. Several of the people with action on the b79 situation are vegas local APs who travel to play. They didn't travel to Vegas for the event, but perhaps they would have considered leaving town for other opportunities if there weren't a way to make such easy money by staying in town.
Before I exaggerate any further I've summoned an Army helicopter to rescue me. I'm on my way to the roof now.

One must think ahead, with the white slots gloves and tetanus shot.
Good grief. Now I can get back to the real world where the sciences also come to life in expression (as we find numbers in everything) instead of dying as the ink dries in some textbook.
Quote: 1BBIt looks like a couple of people think I'm exaggerating, sort of like when someone says "I am not sure why you always want to take the admins to task". Looks like everyone exaggerates at some point although not everyone gets their posts picked apart. Silly? Silly is in the eye of the beholder. Some may think it silly that a mysterious secret administrator suddenly appears to nuke a longtime member. Where's the transparency that is the pride of our leaders?

be careful not to get blown off the roof and fly across town.
I believe B79 wrote a check his monkey couldn't cash. Personally I don't think he could ever live up to the stories he told and the picture he painted.Quote: GWAEit is still early. Wasn't the meet to happen like today. Obviously once the date passes there shall be outrage.

I always get suspicious of people who brag about betting and losing tens of thousands of dollars, especially newcomers who lead with that BS. Usually the guys that actually bet like that tend to keep the numbers to themselves. It's not even the fact they mention it, its how and why they say it.
If he doesn't pay there's no need for outrage, no need for a suspension, no need for anything. The embarrassment should be enough. He will lose any and all credibility. EVERYTHING he has ever said or says will all be disbelieved including, pictures, business owner status, high roller status, stories.
Assuming this doesn't happen, Maxpen will be the only person that will have lost anything, he made a side bet with me because he thought B79 was a man of his word. I don't think max has been a member here long enough to realize how desperate for attention some gamblers can be, especially baccarat players. He may no know how many times we have seen this
BS before, it's usually the same outcome.
Perhaps he will have some extravagant excuses, but I won't be buying it. I'll be somewhat surprised if he even returns to face the music. He could've been a legend on the forum like he seemingly wanted, instead he will be forgotten, but we will always have the monkey to snicker at.

I have been saying since day 1 that he is a sock puppet. I asked him at least 10 times in different threads and he never once even acknowledged me. Not saying that he is but I always find it suspicious when a new member goes from brand new to hundreds of posts very quickly. I would think that most people would ease themselves into a new forum. Although I think I jumped in quickly. Romes also came barreling in with both feet if I remember correctly. I had the sock puppet suspicion with him as well, which I was way wrong.
Lets see this monkey if you are watching B79

That's because she was so skinny but to end up at the Wynn? In a shoe store of all places?
Let's see if anyone gets the reference. Free monkey to the first one who gives us her character name and real name.
