Please don't let...

[Team Bisping]

scams like Wize kraker ruin this fucking forum...ok...I've had a bit to drink but holy shit there are some dumb fucks over there (*points into wilderness filled within fire and bullshit)......

Ok, maybe it's time to order pizza.

 

[Priziesthorse]

keep drinking....tell us your deepest,darkest secrets.

 

[SickEye]

Good God that whole RVD thing is irritating.

It's funny to me how people completely uninvolved in the initial bet can get so fucking wound up about it.

Not saying that welching on a bet is cool but fuck...anchor yourselves to the ground a little bit! Don't let something so insignificant consume you...

Don't make anonymous bets with people you don't trust. It's not rocket science.

1) If someone here was offering odds like that, for stakes like that...I would step in and say "everyone escrow it w/ me, or it's not happening here"
2) That thread over there is a perfect example of what not to do (let bets like that happen, and then leave a thread like that up). It's nothing more than an opportunity for a bunch of morons to take on a pack mentality.

Yellow, Taco, and now this dude have all pulled the same shit and no one of authority has stepped in to protect people's interest. And then when someone turns the table's for a whopping $10, people get bent? Whatever.

So yeah...that shit will never happen here.

"It's nothing more than an opportunity for a bunch of morons to take a pack mentality."

Everything that's wrong with the UG/OG, summed up in one sentence.

My take on it may be over-simplifying a bit, but the foundation is sound.

"pack mentality" is what's wrong with the world in general. It can be seen in everything...starting with elementary school playgrounds.

if I were RVD, I would have paid the $10 if only to get everyone off my back. RVD said he would pay it to charity, Wize agreed, RVD showed proof of donation and that's where it should have ended. They have been carrying on in that thread, bashing RVD for days and days and none of them have anything to do with the bet.

The UG should require an escrow for these bets like IWEI has said.

I paid up within 2 hours. if the confirmation email didnt have a shitload of personal info, I'd post it. but I'm not. Thing is, notice he wont state teh time that he got the email from st judes? Its the same time as my screen shot roughly.

If I was RVD, I would have told them all to kiss my monkey ass because I don't owe any of them, anything. And then I would have left...like forever. Who cares what 90% of those mouth breathers think anyway.

 

[Shy Guy]

That's a good point.

 

[WEWEREONABREAK]

Everyone is aware that it's not the case that WK has lost in the past and not paid, right? People are excusing Ryan's planned welch on the basis that WK is a scammer when there's no actual proof, as far as I'm aware.

If I'm wrong, please tell me. I'm being serious, please let me know.

Because simply offering a bet that a scammer has offered is not proof that one is a scammer. This applies to anything. Murderers buy weapons. Buying a weapon doesn't make one a murderer.

He's spicy taco, ran when he lost. Already paid st judes, so take the welching angle elsewhere.

 

[D241]

No way that thread would've had as many replies/views if it was someone other than RVD. People love a witch hunt naturally, but I am sure people have been just WAITING to have something on RVD to harp on. They found something, and ran with it as much as they could.

$10 well spent for my entertainment.

Presumably you can prove they're the same person...

And I said planned welch. I didn't say you successfully carried it out.

 

[SickEye]

Nothing against RVD, but I think he did all of this for the attention.

Why else would someone create a thread (or threads) in an unrelated forum (or forums) to brag about welching on a bet?

I don't personally give a fuck, but this is an obvious ploy by RVD to elevate himself to his buddy FRB's social (media) status.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Do we need to do this here? Leave it over there, we don't need the bullshit

Was drunk. wasn't really trying that angle tbh.

Good call. I've said my piece and now I'm at peace!

Exactly, I've explained what would (or wouldn't) happen here. Let's move on, thanks.

 

[Shy Guy]

So...what are you guys up to this weekend?

 

[ThatOneDude]

Rogan on Friday

 

[dhughes]

I know my opinion on this topic is probably forfeit before I even begin but I really think for a place like this to succeed, this place needs to be a MMA forum and not a place for people disgruntled by another MMA forum. If you have concerns about the UG, express them there or let it go; use this place to do whatever you imagine your ideal MMA forum to be.

 

[D241]

So...what are you guys up to this weekend?

UFC 103-
Go to the weigh ins on a Friday, get into a street/highway fight on the way home
Saturday, went to the fights b/c at the weigh ins I conversed with a lady who was by herself and she gave me a ticket as she ended up being Tyson Griffin's manager's wife. (Tyson had his best performance btw finishing the durable Hermes Franca)
Sunday-All that needed to happen was for the Dallas Cowboys to win their Stadium Season opener against the Giants, but they lost.

This weekend you ask?
UFC 185
Friday taking my two sons to the Donald Cerrone Q and A. Then attending the weigh ins. Then attending UG meet and greet.
Saturday attending UFC 185
Sunday-I'm hoping to get my dick wet and end this long pussy drought I've been in for months simply due to too busy and internet porn too convenient.

Agreed 100%

It's a teething problem that will iron itself out, once this place starts to get a more regular flow of traffic. I imagine there will always be a certain amount of distaste if I'm honest (similar to ugers and shitdoggers ) see?

Eventually the onus will shift and people here will care more about here than stuff on rival forums.

slowly slowly catchy monkey

Have a good time @D241. And good luck with the ginger!
