Ahah. I initially meant that as a joke really. I thought its name would be suggestive enough =p. And yet, people seem to show interest~

Kirt did approach me 2 weeks ago (?) asking me if I wanted to be part of a crew, and frankly, I was confused for the very same reasons, Agora :p.

But sure, we could be L2W's competition...? Now I don't really know when and where we would fight each other lol, but we could work something out...

To me, a crew is only relevant if we go places. I don't really see much of a point of starting a crew if everybody @ the weeklies is going to join lol.

I understand what you mean,
and I can see why everyone is confused.
It makes more sense why kirt was turned down for a crew so much.
when everyone will just be at the weeklies =/

but agora, if you are wondering what a crew is/what they do

look at no mercy ft. pkm.
crews tend to hold tourneys together as well. o.o

k look, I'm trying to cover your *****, but the next person to post pron links of any kind is getting the banhammer. you're getting me in trouble with your bs, and I don't want to have to argue with someone who wants his account back, especially not someone I see frequently. I never had to ban a friend, so stop acting this way. ffs

Sorry Chet, the site I posted isn't even a porn site, so I didn't think it'd brew trouble.

Here's the thing. The fact that we are not currently in a crew should not be used as a scapegoat to explain the fact that we, as a community, are sub par. What is going to change if said crew is to be made? More fests? Actual share of knowledge, tips and perhaps secrets =p? Are we actually going to start pointing out each other's mistakes? These are all things that we can and should be doing already, but we aren't. At least, not proactively. Everybody is "training harder at brawl to get better", in their own little corner, and I guess that is a problem you're trying to attend to. But I think that to resolve it, it's our attitude overall that we need to change~ :p Etc, etc. Imo, a crew would then be in order, if we are the only ones to display of such a will to progress~ (srsbizness)

Soooo... I tried selling my PS3 on Kijiji. Got a response from a guy who supposedly lives in ontario saying he was interested and he'd send me a money order. And so my name and address I gave him. When I got the letter the next week, the M.O. and a letter with instructions was found inside. I had asked for 700 but he wrote down 2.5k... In the letter, he says (copy pasta): "Meanwhile the excess money left is for the shipping arrangement and the shipper also has some other items to pick up for me in France as well, I want you to kindly send the remaining balance at the western union money transfer to Roy Eric the shipper in France...

Instructions...

You are to cash the payment at your bank and deduct your money and send the remaining balance to the shipper via Western Union money transfer close to your location so that the shipper can go ahead and make the booking for the pick up at your place immediately he has received the money at the western union outlet today

And this is the shipper information you are to send the remaining money to via Western Union
Roy Eric, Paris France, etc..."

My parents told me that the check was possibly fundless and that by pressing me to send the 1.8k to Roy, he'd effectively steal my own money. That stuck in my mind for a while so I didn't do anything for a day or two. I went to the bank and they informed me that M.O.s have to be payed up front so the money is deff. real. I then talked to a friend and he told me that I might be acting as a 3rd party in a money diversion scheme... as he supposedly had taken classes covering such situations amongst other things~ He also told me that since I have his money, I could be sued for scam and that I should contact the authorities, just to be safe. What do y'all think? :p Should I go through with the transaction? I'm mainly concerned about why it is that he couldn't send that money himself to his shipping agent... and traveling two hours is certainly much more simple of an option... Anyways, the money is cashed in but frozen until thursday... so that gives me time to think...

Hey, working in your own corner worked for me(thats for people who did not know yet, ive gotten much better in the last month and a half.) :p


On the other side, yes, people should try to help each other. I personally think the idea of doing more crews is awesome. Crew battles for brawl please! Oh and at least i suggest you get people as dedicated as you are for your own crew.

depending on _where_ in ontario he says he's from, it could be more than 2 hours...

you could always a) tell your parents you are returning the money b) keep the money c) profit
(southpark joke?)

anyways, the shipper? who the hell is the shipper? why would ANYONE ship something to france and then back again? the whole thing reeks of a scam for sure... I would say 3rd party is the most likely bet for sure...

alert the authorities now!!! worst case, you falsely accuse someone of money laundering because they are ********, and best case they'll forget to take the money back lol

it's all about the cost/benefit graph

/Agree with the 5 or so previous posts. It's inspired from a Nigerian scam that used to be popular 1-2 years ago. Alert the police. Best case, nothing happens; you keep the money. Worst case, you look a little ********, so does the other guy, the police blams you both a bit and the transaction follows through or something.

Okay guys, I'm gonna do a last minute cancellation for the party on Saturday and bring it back two weeks from then on the 21st.

I decided that another week would be better for a lot of people. At first I wanted to do it next week, but that's the 14th and I might have plans with the Ms.

So, were keeping the same plan, just for the 21st. I think it should allow more people to come, and give people better time to ask of and crap. It's no longer just a birthday party, but more of a social gathering.
