Title: Anyone could answer me?
Post by: Comrade on November 17, 2010, 07:45:07 pm
Allright, so I was Gambling today with this Mario Stracci fella.
I got 60k profit from him, but then he couldn't pay the last 10k. So we did Double or Nothing for it, multiple times, until he came to a 120k debt.
So basically he owes me 120k. (Click me for screenie (http://oi51.tinypic.com/21l35w0.jpg))
This all happened in the Chuck'N'Luck Casino.

Anyway, he then admitted in main chat that he was a Ban Evader, named Driftee or something.
He got banned, obviously. He said that he would not come back before he got banned, so I doubt he'll get back.

So my question is, is there any way I can get the money he owes me or are they lost?
Pancher said I can only go trough court, but having a court case against a banned person who is most probably not comin' back seems a little retarded to me.

What do you guys think I should do?
Is there any way at all I could get the money?

Sue the original person to court when he is unbanned?

Acutally I am in 60k Profit. But he does owe me another 120k. And what if he never gets unbanned?
I can sue the Casino, can't I?
I mean, if a dealer can't pay the Casino itself, ergo the owner, is in debt, or doesn't it work that way here?

Playa, its just 180,000? Game money?
I suggest you leave it like that. Money won't change anything.  ;)
Its a necessary evil.

Why was Driftee Drift banned originally?

My opinion is that there should be someway for you to get the money that is owed, after all, the other guy did lose

Ask the owner of the casino. He can contact me for further solutions if needed.

Allright, Gandalf., I'll talk to the Casino owner.
I shall just ask him for the money or something and if that doesn't work out we'll contact you for some sort of compromise?

Ooh I'm sorry for not being a millionare.
Money will in fact change things.
With money you buy weapons, houses, businesses, arrange events, have a Gay Tony RP and many things.
You have to admit that money is a necessary recourse. It is not super-uber-ultra-mega-important like some sad kids think, but it is still needed.

You will always have wishes. They keep you motivated. if a human does not have a future perception/wishes, he has no cause to live.
Same goes for the game. Money will only keep you asking for more. When you get more, you will again ask for more.

It goes round and round.

I have a strange feeling that DrIftE_Drift will not be banned within the two coming years  :lol:

People work their asses off for Money.
You can't live without money, literally. You need money to buy food and water, and you need money to get a shelter.
If you're so against money move to India, stay in the woods and feed of what the passersby give you. I know a man who lived like that for 12 years. He came back to "the real world" about a year ago and he didn't even know that big cellphones with looong antennas were outdated.

Money ain't natural. People can perfectly live without money. Of course, without any luxury, but if you really should have to.. Sure.. It's possible.

Indeed. You can live without money if you live outside, drink water from the ground and eat everything organic from the dumpster - But that isn't really a life :|
Let's not go off-topic anymore though.

Even if money isn't important this guy won the cash, he should get it.
Good luck bro ;)

Anyway, Gandalf.
I spoke with Edmund, and he is a bit upset with Mario being banned.
I feel it is unfair to ask the money of him, since it wasn't he who actually lost (But he allowed Mario to use his casino).
And so we decided to contact you for the "Further solutions" you told us to contact you about.

Is it possible to transfer the money from Mario Stracci's account?



Unless Gandalf sees the above, what is probably the best way to contact him?
I guess his PM is flooded every day, so...

My last off topic message.

What has a poor man to do with a GTA SA:MP game?
I was talking about living without money In game, don't twist my words.

My point is that money is necessary both ingame and IRL.
You can play without it, sure, but then lots of roleplay except Hobo RP and scripted jobs will be off limits too you.

You can't RP a club owner and throw a huge party if you got no money to buy the club or to hire the employees.
Enough off-topic, though.

Gandalf, what are the "further solutions"?
I understand your PM is probably flooded each day, but waiting a week for you to answer when you actually offered your help is a bit strange.



Guys, anyone of you know a good way to contact Gandalf except for PM?

I once loaned some money to someone, he got banned, I got my money back from courts.
