Inui's carpool to MLG Raleigh: Leaving this afternoon for Raleigh!

[Max Ketchum]

Why turn down an extremely generous offer that greatly helps all of us? It's ridiculous not to accept an offer like that. Regardless, debating this is not going to get anybody anywhere, and it certainly isn't helping you fill that last spot. I heard Malcolm and possibly Jtails need a ride.

 

[Inui]

Why turn down an extremely generous offer that greatly helps all of us? It's ridiculous not to accept an offer like that.

Honor.

And because it's clearly unfair.

Kaila is a friend of mine; I'd NEVER accept such an offer. I'm getting tempted to get her for even less now.

edit: Malcolm has been confirmed with Izumi forever and ever so why do people keep saying he needs a ride

 

[Max Ketchum]

Okay, so you're also getting tempted to screw me out of a large amount of money that is only paying for the trip, and not being used for profit at all + a way to MLG for myself and others as well. Use your sense of honor there too and please stay out of it.

It'd be clearly unfair to me to ASK that of her. It was her offer. I'm not going to say no if it helps me get there.

 

[Inui]

You all can afford a few bucks to make it so she doesn't spend significantly more than all of you. Don't even pretend you all NEED that money from her to even go in the first place. If any of you are sooooo poor that you can't afford the ~$25 just chipping in normally would cost, then you should NOT be going all the way to NC on a vacation.

Her offer was ******** of her, and you're gay for accepting it.

 

[Max Ketchum]

$25?

1250 miles roundtrip, divided by 20 MPG, times $2.80 a gallon premium gas = $175
$8 toll into NYC each way = $16
Estimated $10 in tolls each way = $20

$211 total. Split that between five people equally and that's $42 each. On top of a MLG pass, hotel room, food, doubles entry fee...yeah, that's nothing to take lightly. Having that $42 eliminated or reduced is a HUGE boon that cannot be ignored. And that's not taking off gas mileage for the extra weight.

Let's also not forget that I'm driving TWELVE HOURS EACH WAY for this trip in a car that's had 10,000 miles put on it in the past THREE MONTHS. Extra wear on my car's engine is nothing to be taken lightly right now. We even looked into renting a car or taking Ether's because I don't feel comfortable putting that stress on mine. I think the sacrifices I'm making to allow the other people to even participate on this trip are certainly worth more than $42, and as a driver for that distance, I should not have to pay any, let alone that much money.

Let's also factor in the part where I wasn't going to go last minute, but would feel bad screwing her out of a ride to her new area of living + job for the weekend.



I think it's pretty ridiculous of you to call me gay for accepting that offer.

 

[Inui]

how is your round trip almost 300 more miles than mine when I am barely farther than you and making a stop in Philly

how is it 12 hours each way

it's 8 hours each way for me

charging her extra for the gas/tolls to NYC = fair

I already said that is fair for her to pay by herself and not to be included in the cost for the others

so your cost is definitely wrong

my car can take the stress since my mom's best friend just fixes stuff for me, lol

it's indeed gay for all of you to mooch off of one person that needs money more than the rest of you

edit: I'm charging the rest of my carpool $30 but charging her $50 to make up for the cost of going into NYC to get her

that is actually fair

 

[Max Ketchum]

You're not "barely" farther than me. I live on the NJ/NY border way up north. I'm much further from 95 than you are. Additionally, Philadelphia is RIGHT ON 95. I need to stop at Ether's house, then go into NYC, then go to NC. After that, I still have to go back to the city to drop NinjaLink home, go back to Ether's, then go home.

 

[Zucco]

wow why is Inui the saltiest person ever?

 

[Inui]

how is that 300 miles

also, just charge Kaila the amount it costs to get her and take her there

or I'll just get keep offering to take her for less and less until the guilt of ditching your carpool disappears to avoid seeing her get screwed by her ******** offer out of desperation for a secure ride and you being gay and going with it instead of just charging her for what it costs to get her

I will go down to free if necessary lol



you kids should pay your share, not sit there and take money from someone who needs it SIGNIFICANTLY more than you and be cool with it

homos

 

[Max Ketchum]

Just fixed some route issues up in Google maps to save myself quite a few miles. Makes more sense to hit the city before Ether's.

It's 1,111 miles roundtrip.

And now we all know why Inui plays white MK.

 

[Inui]

i'm free

literally for Kaila if you're gonna be gay lololololol

 

[Zucco]

Your Carpool to mlg sounds like death itself, minus floorzax.

 

[Max Ketchum]

Hey Inui.

How about you stop trying to **** with plans that have already been set and just stay the **** out of it? If it was such a ******** decision, then that's on her. If she needed the money so badly, she shouldn't have offered it. End of story.

 

[KageMurphy]

If she made the offer she can't be that hard up for cash.

Edit: Ninja'd

 

[Inui]

If she made the offer she can't be that hard up for cash.

She was just desperate to secure a ride there since she needs one, and not public trans due to needing to take a cat, so she made a ridiculous offer, and some people were apparently greedy enough to take it instead of just being honorable and a good friend and charging her normally and forming a real carpool.

I said she needs money more than the people in the carpool, not that she was destitute or something. This is true. The people in her carpool are children that live with their parents and have the vast majority of their living expenses paid for, while she is no longer with her parents and will still be paying rent and bills with her family in NC.

How about you stop trying to **** with plans that have already been set and just stay the **** out of it?

No.

If you're all too poor to afford gas money, then you're too poor to bother with a four day vacation in NC and should be saving your money.

My conscience wouldn't even allow me to just take that full offer you're taking. It's too gay and she was clearly ******** in offering it.

 

[Zucco]

I was able to go because I found a silver lining within this expensive trip that would help me save some money.(inb4kidwithrichparents, even though im not rich at all and my parents are just smart with their money after being married and working for so long.)

But as usual Inui has to be a **** and try and mess up everything. Please just stop.

 

[Inui]

your "silver lining" is mooching off of someone that needs money way more than you

you could always stay in my hotel room for 1/3 the price of the other rooms to make up for it

I'm not being a **** AT ALL; I'm seeing people take advantage of someone and trying to prevent it

you're just mad because I'm messing up your free ride

man up and pull your own weight

liberals

edit: this is why Obama won the election

Rookie even spewed something like "Obama gives me money" while at Will's

fffffffffuuuuu I hate this world

edit2: zucco you live in a house that would be appraised for at least 1 million dollars in a good market (not now, few years from now prolly) after it's completely fixed up

lol

edit3: your parents are going to sell it for a lot of money and then get something smaller to retire in after all of their kids move out, i bet

smart thing to do

 

[Shadow 111]

Lol at inui. the grumpy *** old man trying to ruin everyone's time.

Homey has brought up "chivalry" and "honor" 100 times in his last couple of posts. That's how you KNOW this ***** thinks he's a Fire Emblem character.

The thing is, inui, doom doesn't really care about that stuff to the insane degree that you do man. He's made that obvious. No point in arguing over it XD.
Any sane person (no, not including you, i said "SANE") would have taken that offer. He's making a huge trip to NC and someone offering that much is a pretty amazing find.

You can obviously try to get kaila to go with you instead and if she agrees, doom can't really do anything about that, but until that happens, you're beat.

 

[Inui]

^ future Obama voter

a sane person shouldn't take advantage of another because they were desperate to secure a ride and made a bold offer to do so

 

[CT Chia]

everyone just shutup

seriously why am i watching vegeta and a omastar fight

 

[Inui]

everyone just shutup

seriously why am i watching vegeta and a omastar fight

go back to English class, please

 

[Shadow 111]

^ future Obama voter

That was her decision.
If they were good friends, yeah, i'd say doom is a douche bag for taking that offer. But as far as i know, Doom and Kaila barely even speak.
She's desperate for a ride and he happens to have a spot open, so he graciously accepted her generous offer.
Obviously she felt OK with giving him that much money, or she wouldn't have said so in the first place.

All this talk of "chivalry" in the way you're using it sounds really condescending to females in general. You're acting as if she's not capable of making her own decisions because of her gender -.-.

If you feel she's being taken advantage of, talk to her about it and tell her to go with you if you have room. I don't see why you're wasting your time here complaining to people you keep referring to as "children", who obviously aren't listening to you anyway.

 

[Inui]

No, she's not incapable because of her gender. She made a crazy offer not knowing I could just take her for a normal amount.

What Doom's carpool should do is just still take her, but charge her fairly, that way they don't have the be minus a person paying for part of the trip because I will seriously drop my price low enough to where she won't care about leaving Doom's carpool if I have to.

I consider myself a pretty good friend of Kaila's, which is why seeing her being taken advantage of like this because of her ******** offer and other people being mooches makes me mad.

 

[Max Ketchum]

Kaila and I are pretty cool. Not on any best friend status or anything, but more than just acquaintances. Regardless, her contribution is crucial to the trip and I'd be a fool to turn it down.

Please stop this white knighting nonsense. Obviously she's not in desperate need for money if she can throw offers around like this. I also believe you missed the part where I said that I was not going to attend Raleigh if it weren't for screwing her and her cat out of a way there. She's paying for the entire trip basically because she's the main reason I'm even making it. Bringing along other people at less of a cost is just another benefit.

Inui, don't you have a car that seats 5, with 5 people in it already? Squeezing tiny little Kaila in there normally wouldn't be a problem, but now she has a ****ing CAT and his litter box too.

PLEASE stay out of this. The decision is on her. Feel free to drop the price to whatever you want. If she does decide to bail, we aren't going.

 

[Inui]

If her contribution is crucial and you can't afford the trip without her paying for all of you, then you have no business traveling so far for four days and should save your money. It's an immature decision to go if you can't afford an additional ~$30 to go or whatever.

It's not nonsense; you're being greedy and all of you are definitely future Obama voters at this rate. She's not in desperate need for money. Where and when did I say such a thing? I stated a fact; money is MUCH more significant to her than it is to everyone else in the carpool since she is an adult not living with her parents while you're kids. Where in that did I say she was poor? Being able to save money would be beneficial to her, while a small financial blow of ~$30 is very tolerable to kids since they don't have to worry about how they're going to keep a roof over their head the next month and other such things.

You wouldn't be a fool to turn it down. You've be a very good person to just charge her normally and be fair and I'd highly respect that.

 

[Max Ketchum]

What other large expenses will us little kids have to save our money for if we stay home, then?

This offer opens up extra opportunities for us so we can go to MLG, dawg.

But I forgot--if Inui doesn't agree with it, it's stupid and wrong. I'm done posting in this thread. Continue being extremely opinionated and trying to bargain Kaila into your carpool. Won't be seeing you at MLG if that happens, I guess.

 

[Inui]

So... You literally can't afford about $30 to go and absolutely need her to pay for the entire trip or you can't go? Really now? That's just ridiculous. What happened to your job? You make almost double the amount of money I make according to what you told me at Apex 2 ($2 more per hour + 8 more hours per week) and you have way fewer expenses, but I'd be able to afford the entire trip and hotel on my own without it hurting me much.

 

[KageMurphy]

How will she fit if your car is full and she has a cat + her stuff? The other members of your car pool will likely object.

 

[Max Ketchum]

I can afford it. The rest? Nah, trick.

 

[Inui]

How will she fit if your car is full and she has a cat + her stuff? The other members of your car pool will likely object.

Everyone in the back seat is thin, and she is very tiny herself, and I have a large luxury sedan.

I can afford it. The rest? Nah, trick.

Cool.

Then help pay their bill too instead of making her pay for them and you.

Edit:

Last weekend I paid for the majority of the trip for Zucco, Atomsk, and Xzax. They each gave me $25, I got $20 from Green Ace, and I got $10 from Vinnie. I burned up two tanks of gas, spent $10 on parking in MA, and spent ~$40 on tolls according to my E-ZPass bill. Each tank cost me $50. In gas and tolls alone, I paid $45. Wear and tear, insurance, etc... Yeah man. I spent more than double what anyone else did, and it was because I'm nice and enjoy helping those less fortunate.

Maybe you should do the same instead of making some girl that needs money more than you pay for everyone.

 

[~Nasty~]

I have no objection to Kaila being in the car. Inui is right, we aren't gonna be taking up that much room. Oh and a cat in the car would def help pass the time. I don't believe i ever met her though, but i enjoy meeting new ppl.

I also believe that while doom may not be "profiting," he probably wont have to pay anything out of his own pocket to enter the tourney. (idk how much Kaila is offering.)

 

[CT Chia]

think about it rationally though, unless inui has a huge *** trunk, we all have our luggage as well... and another person + cat for 8 hours...

 

[~Nasty~]

True about the luggage. He better have a big trunk, lol. I'll have a duffel bag and a book bag, the book bag i can just keep at me feet or on my lap.

 

[ksizl4life]

lol i mustve been really bored to read all of this

 

[xxCANDYxx]

O_O I can't believe I'm saying this but.....after reading the whole thing I stongly agree with inui...y'all looking Grimey taking advantage...like ewww makes me look at ny/nj differently

Inui is def right y'all need to think of others...maybe it's bc y'all are younger iono, but regardless grimey

 

[Inui]

think about it rationally though, unless inui has a huge *** trunk, we all have our luggage as well... and another person + cat for 8 hours...

"Concorde's long wheelbase and wide track help in many ways. By pushing the wheels to the corners, an immense amount of interior and trunk space opens, while its wide stance improves handling and stability."

"Since its wheels have been pushed rearward, there are no wheel wells intruding into the rear passenger space. This, combined with large rear door openings, gives simple rear seat access, and a comfortable three-across fit."

O_O I can't believe I'm saying this but.....after reading the whole thing I stongly agree with inui...y'all looking Grimey taking advantage...like ewww makes me look at ny/nj differently

qft

good stuff, Candy

 

[Kaila]

Just saw all this stuff, but I suppose my post in the NJ thread still applies.

Lucas;

I appreciate your concern, but I offered to pay as much as I am to assure that I would have a ride (although, I admittedly thought the costs would be 75 dollars). I know how often Smash carpools can fall through at the last second, but I knew an incentive (and removal of money as an excuse for lack of follow through) would make sure I would have a ride since the transportation of my cat as well as my MLG job is on the line if there are complications.

I also appreciate your offer, and although I don't doubt that the backseat riders of your carpool are not of gross size, I'm pretty sure it would be an uncomfortable ride to include myself and a cat (my bag and his accessories, too) that has never ridden in a car before nor been in proximity of that many bodies before.

Max was the first to respond, and has done well in making sure we will be able to get down there. I have no qualms in basically being the patron for Max, Ether, Ninjalink, and Zucco. I'm pretty close with Max and Ether, enjoy the time I've spent with Ninjalink (even when he essentially bent me over in bracket), and always have fun poking fun at Zucco. Now they all totally owe me their souls, and maybe ***** if I'm feeling frisky.

Yeah, it sucks that I have to spend 40 more dollars, but it's for a bit of comfort and peace of mind. Here's to hoping everything goes well and I don't get screwed at the last second.

It's weird how you guys seem to know what is going on in my life economically, but don't actually.

Since this is kind of entertaining to read, here's what my situation is:

I have 600 dollars in the bank, won 500 in the Bahamas, will be getting 350 at MLG, and put in 18 extra hours at my old job while I've been here in NYC for 13/hour under the table cash equaling 230 dollars. So I have 1680 dollars to my name.

My mother doesn't want me living at home and my old room has a mold problem so I am moving in with my friends into an apartment asap. I will be putting down 1000 dollars the first month. I currently have no job or transportation and the rent will be about 450/month, not including my phone bill and food costs. I will be getting a motorcycle since it is less expensive overall than a car, and transportation is essential in the very spread out Charlotte area.

So, no, I don't have cash to toss around. I'm a 21 year old who saved up to move with the expectation that my mother would continue to be the selfish ***** she's always been.



But, I made the offer knowing my economic situation. I do feel a little taken advantage of, but I put myself in the situation for that. I will be speaking to Max more about the specific costs, just to make sure that it is as fair as possible. I would feel like an awful person if I were to bounce out knowing they depend on me. As long as I have a comfortable and dependable ride, I see it as a good investment.

 

[Bnzaaa]

I'll need housing for Thursday night. I'll help split the cost.

 

[Inui]

Kaila, you're even more tight for cash than I thought, and you're still going to let some kids in a way better economic situation mooch off of you? 40 dollar difference? I'll get you for free if they refuse to contribute to the trip. I'm serious. They can't even be cool and be like "we'll all pay $15 and you pay the rest" so you're not completely f*cked over it? They HAVE TO totally mooch off of you and not contribute at all when they easily can, especially Doom? BS.

I'll need housing for Thursday night. I'll help split the cost.

You can stay in my room.

 

[Xzax Kasrani]

Elliot might want to come with us
