"I am a 32 year old guy who is going to Vegas for the first time this year! Could you fellow WOV guys help lil ol me out and tell me what games are the best to play in Vegas? I would appreciate your exquisite expertise! ;)"
Quote: PokerGrinderOk this thread mixed with the Aimee thread just got super weird. Didn't Nathan fall in love with Aimee or something lol. I thought Nathan said she was male in that thread. Might have been helpful to tell the person (WoN) that he was looking for a female not a male. I wouldn't have gone up to a female if I was supposed to be meeting up with a guy.
In hindsight, I should have just been honest with WON and tell him he is looking for a woman not a man. I was afraid I'd look like a freak if I told the truth, like posters would be like,"Uh, freak, what are you doing pretending to be a guy on here, lady?" And get permanently banned by admins for pretending to be a man..
"I REALLY hope that Aimee was not a guy! Cause this would get even creepier than it already is...."
Kind of funny in hindsight. Yes it is kind of creepy Mrs Nathan.
Are you a girl? Is that what you're saying?Quote: rsactuaryLet's be fair to Nathan on this point. She's not the first to assume an alter-ego here.
Quote: onenickelmiracleAre you a girl? Is that what you're saying?
Does it matter?
No, but that's how a woman would react. Quit nagging me.Quote: rsactuaryDoes it matter?
So it sounds like you only like to meet up with males? (-;Quote: WizardofnothingOk well I didn't walk up because you came across as a male- I wasn't going to make friends
And not looking for a date
I have no issue handling a Macy card
I just wasn't going to have a confrontation with a female
Yawn. Good Night Follks. I'm going to review some addition problems and then hit the hay. The math drills will atleast help me with BJ, the great impersonator hoax will not.Quote: rsactuaryDoes it matter?
Everything makes much more sense now. I may have suspected that at one time, but you said you were a male.
The way you "talked" "sounded" like you were a girl or very young.
I'm not sure why the "big" charade in the first place. Next time it might be bettor to pick a unisex name, somthing like Jamie or Pat. NVM, you went out of your way to deceive everyone in the first place, for whatever reason .
Had you just been upfront in the first place, I bet people would have been a bit kinder to you.
People knew there was something off about this GUY. And because of that many members felt propelled to give you the business.
I'm not saying its right or wrong, good or bad, but its a fact guys will give chicks some leeway when it comes to gambling questions and discussions.
Anyway it would be weirder if it was a man pretending to be a woman. Ther is usually some sexual predator thing going on but a woman pretending to be a man Especially here on a predominantly male forum may have less sinister intent
Quote: NathanOkay, I'll admit, I should have mentioned that I am a girl. I assumed if I told the truth about me being a girl, I may have been banned permanently because of my male persona on here.
The rest of this is just too weird, but I'm calling bs on this excuse (bolded by me above) that you said twice in this thread. This forum allows people to post anonymously and be whomever they want to be. There is nothing in the rules to even suggest representing yourself as one sex while born another would be grounds for banning.
You chose to present yourself as male, not just implied by your name, but explicitly stated. Doesn't matter why. You also chose to meet WoN in person. Bizarrely, you didn't pm him to tell him who to look for, knowing you had a male persona here. Why would he approach any woman? Was it supposed to be a cute surprise? Whatever. (There are lots of things women do I just can't fathom, and I am one.) If it were me meeting you, I'd have passed by any woman too.
Anyway, this thing is 100% on you, not on forum rules. Good luck.
Quote: onenickelmiracleNo, but that's how a woman would react. Quit nagging me.
WTF is that?
I'm only kidding.Quote: rsactuaryWTF is that?
Added: Shirley, I can't be serious.
However someone who pretends to be a guy on the forum could easily also pretend to get their butt kicked for losing their haircut money
Also I'm not believing the 100 rebate from the casino either since it was a new member promotion from what I know of it
I'd support a compromise. You offered it hoping "Nathan" wouldn't show up, and somehow he'd be gone, but Nathan really isn't Nathan. I'm still not sure what is going on, a girl pretending to be a boy, or boy pretending to be a girl pretending to be a boy. $0 and $100 dont seem fair, I'd say fair is about $33-50. He's kind of trolling pretending to be, implying to be something he or she isn't, but not completely trolling. It could even be some kind of Andy Kauffman/Tony Clifton thing, where even multiple people are pretending to be Nathan. I'd just vote to the low side $33-40.Quote: WizardofnothingI'll let the forum decide - I have no issue donating a 100 card

It doesn't matter. The most valuable thing you own is 'your word'. Yours is worth nothing now. You have lied to the forum and been exposed. Please slink away.
I'd make the handoff in the urinal section of the casinos men's room.
agreeQuote: SOOPOOIt doesn't matter. The most valuable thing you own is 'your word'.
disagree since there still is a chance to make good. I would subtract my gas money though, WoN is fully justified in not approaching a woman when looking for someone who said he was male.Quote:Yours is worth nothing now. You have lied to the forum and been exposed. Please slink away.
What pronoun do we use with Nathan now anyway? I think I am going with Spivak
Quote: billryanNathan deserves the card, not some girl pretending to be Nathan.

Or through a hole between stalls. Not even sure why there are holes there. Makes no sense.
Whever we vote on the correct amount
Quote: SOOPOOIt doesn't matter. The most valuable thing you own is 'your word'.
Agreed.
But does loss of Your Word now mean others are released from the same responsibility? Seems to me that WoN made a promise, IMO for the reason of confirming the identity of member Nathan. WoN got exactly what he wanted and completed exactly what (I believe) his intentions were. Since there were no stipulations, why should he be released?
I associate nathan with hot dogs and we know what hot dogs associate with sexually
Just wondering
I doubt we will get an honest answer, but I'll take a shot because I'm curious.Quote: Nathan
Why pretend to be a man?
-------------------------
If you insist he give you the $100 gift card, I think he should give it to you. Personally I would be to ashamed and embarrassed to ask or accept it.
Not that that there is anything wrong with being whatever it is you are... Stright Gay, lesbian (like Hillary),Bi, Trans or whatever the deal is.
Just the fact that you were being deceptive on THIS forum. I'm sure there are forums dedicated to pretending to be something you are not.
The point of the meet up was to confirm you were who you said you were. You were not who you said you were.
There was no real reason to say you were a male. IMO You should have at disclosed in private to WON before the meet up that you had told a fib. Given him the opportunity to cancel meeting up if he chose to. I think had you at least done that he would have thanked you for being honest and he would have felt more comfortable approaching you.
I can see why he would be hesitant to approach you knowing you lied about who you were.
Perhaps if you kept it on the just the forum. But once you bang it into the RW it was a more serious issue, especially on this forum. You took it to far. You have been around here long enough to know some of the members on this site take things a bit more serious when it comes to this kind of stuff, making stuff up and telling lies. You had already been suspended for spreading misinformation. You might call it pretending, but some people are calling it more than just pretending. People dont like being "catfished". There might not be any specific rules against this stuff, but I think you just lost a few followers and opened yourself up to even more sh*t. I just hope this doesn't lead to someone else getting suspended because they can't hold their tongue.Quote: NathanI didn't think that pretending to be a man would be such a can of worms. Like I said, I loved pretending to be a boy when I was younger. It just was fun to me. I decided to pretend to be a man on here also.
