Default Re: Looking for someone to Mentor...

Making threads like that (even those that intend on honoring payments) is entirely selfish, because they're only doing it to give themselves motivation for not tilting off money stupidly at higher stakes. Tilting off money is not something people do based on rational thought, so (for ego reasons too) they're not going to go post "hey, sorry guys, I feel like tilting so bounty's off." Thus, faced with the two options of admitting to BBV that they fail at self-control or paying out money to busto railtards, they abstain from tilting at higher stakes.

Bikini Wax went robusto and it's now stupid for him to waste his time at mid-stakes games just because of some post he made in BBV when he didn't anticipate having the bankroll to play higher. As long as he clearly spelled out that the agreement was off before anyone caught him, he has every right to retract a completely generous and charitable offer he made. Jesus christ, the 20 post idiots following him around to demand he pay up as if they're somehow entitled to be paid for their amazing skill of tracking him down on FTP after he already posted that he was done w/ the bounty are [censored] incredible.
