The guy clearly didn't tell you the cards were as beat as they were, but you treated him the same way it appears you treat everyone who has any disagreement with you.

I made a typo and that's why I gave the guy extra money. Not b/c I failed to send a card. Did I do something wrong? Yes, but not something I felt as if I owed someone money. If a BTA rules that I owe money, fine. I won't say I made no mistakes. I will say that I sent everything that was paid for. There is no other BTA case, just that one from 5 months ago that you just brought up. You obviously keep track of BTA's against me, so look up more if there are any. If there is another one, lmk, it'd be news to me.

You must have read the emails and how I wanted to work out the disagreement with the OP without BTA being involved in the process. I was accused of fraud and threatened charges even though I felt that I was in the right. Yet, I end up being the one BTA'd. You must have nothing to say about that?

I asked why am I on BTA and you read over the deleted BTA thread, and have nothing to say about how I shouldn't have been BTA'd at all? If you think the way the OP treated the situation was better, it's easy to see why stu55 clowns you. I'm sure you think stu55 is rude to you b/c you have points that are easy to disagree with and stu55 makes good points in his posts about you.

Why would you point out how rude I was, if you're only intent is just to "at no point try to be nice to me?" Pot calling the kettle black? Point out exactly how I was rude in the course of explaining myself throughout the deleted BTA? As sarcastic as it sounds, I would like to be better. Just let me know how in that BTA I conducted myself poorly? I think it was a markedly better than how I handled myself when posting about Speed Demon.

I'm not going to deny that I pushed what I had against Speed Demon too far. It's the truth, I did. And at least when Jaz closed the thread, she mentioned it was my fault. Yeah, Speed Demon's views are ethnocentric. But I don't have to bash him for it.

As for Stu, the only problem I have with the situation is he was allowed to go way farther than I ever did yet we both got the same punishment. But as you can see, we are not allowed to do it to each other anymore though every so often he tries to get a jab in.

I'm done.

Edit: Speed Demon's clear view of asian cultures being better than anglo culture is quite obvious. I'm glad someone else noticed that.

Our local game store charged $5 entry for gameday, then they split up the entry fees for store credit. So we had 18 people so we did 5 rounds and cut to top 4. So when it was down to the 2 of us we decided to split the store credit down the middle as well as the mat. I think this is legit, but if not I would like to know about it.

So decided to split first and second place prizes at gameday today. But what to do with the playmat? Simple we cut the thing in half, the other people in the store were not impressed. At least it will make a nice mouse pad

you can agree to split, assuming the prize structure would put you in 1st and 2nd even if you just called it a draw, but you can't bribe your opponent by saying 'i'll give you the win if you split the prizes with me.' you can also agree to split prizes equally and then play it out for PWP. you can't, however, wait and see how other matches play out before choosing which of you should win, if it would affect your prize payouts.

This is a dicey area. Doesn't matter if it's for 1 or 2. That only applies in single elimination.

You can always agree to a prize split with someone. And you can always agree to draw with someone. But you can't offer anything at all for the split, even a draw. Yes this happens all the time at stores and it tends not to be strictly enforced. Since you can say "do you want to split prizes? Yes" then ask do you "want to draw? yes"
You can't say "Do you want to draw and split prizes"

Also if your play it out the loser isn't guaranteed second.

I know of a guy who had someone do this

Opponent "How about the winner gives the loser a pack?"

Guy "You mean a Prize split?"

Opponent "Judge!"

Guy gets game loss for collusion

If it include Maze of Ith might be worthwhile. And my guess is that artwork is for Glacial Chasm.
