Yes this forum needs villains.
Once upon a time when this place was busy it had lots of villains.
But most of the villains have been banned.
Huge mistake.
Here we are once again with a drama thread and wouldnt you know it its the busiest thread at therx in weeks if not months.
And they say drama does not sell.
And they say nobody cares about drama.
But yet everytime we have drama the threads explode.
I hope the people in charge are taking notes.

Not sure if you noticed, but this guy kinda likes attention. I said I was gonna wait to post my opinion but what the hell.....
I knew he was nuts when he had that HUGE writeup talking about how hard he has worked, how he just wants to have sex all summer, enjoy life, screw the haters, he has $ to burn etc...Who rants like that on a message board? It was a huge writeup. Not a psychologist or anything, but you can kinda tell when people have problems or are just plain nuts with posts like that.
I haven't been on the RX for the past week, so just spent last 20 mins reading thing thread...
I am really disappointed in all the guys jumping to the conclusion that this guy isn't going to pay.... He has mentioned his move to the US several times, I am sure he is very busy. On top of it, like BAS said, he said hell take care of it Monday.... What if he was awaiting to recieve a payout first.. what if he had things planned this weekend and so Monday was the earliest he could take care of it? What if he couldn't get to the bank until then? Really, doesn't matter what the reason is, we're not owed one. Monday was just days away, it wasn't months or even a week.... There was no reason not to be patient and give the guy a couple days to wire a nice chuck of change.
Now, he comes back and just sees 7 pages of him getting ripped.... Now I always pay my debts, but it cannot be easy to give away $6,000, that the winner got it RISK FREE, and see yourself just getting called out from everyone. If anything was said, I would expect it to be positive, and rightfully so..... In fact, when I saw that this thread had that many pages, I knew he hit it! I was excited, as I am sure was Killar, and as was jaguara. Jag prob went from such a high to a crashing low once he saw the negativity. ANYONE would be pissed off. You do a nice thing and get ripped for it??? What?? The world is too cyncial....
I saw the word jealously used and I think that's dead on. So many of us cannot imagine giving away $6k so it must be fake. Just because you cannot/wont give away $6k doesn't mean that he is not legit.
Now, I don't have $6k to give away, in fact winning that would of made a nice impact on my life. But I do believe Jaguara was sincere. In fact, the first time he did this, it came down to the last game. I sweated it out to the point, I had to leave, and I wasn't even involved. I fully believe Jaguara. Could I be wrong, sure wouldn't be the first time. But why would anyone do this again and again and again if they had no intentions of paying? It's only a matter of time before it hits and his "true" character is revealed. This isn't logical.
Jag IMHO knew he was going to evenutally hit, and he did a very generous thing, something most of us would/could never do. IMO the reason Jag did this over and over and over again was because he wanted to hit one and share the wealth. It's really irrational and hard for me to imagine some one doing this repeatly when they had no intentions of paying. Just doesn't make sense to do it that many times .
As far as Killar is concerned, it couldn't happened to a better guy from the RX. All my interactions with him have been great. I am glad to see that he won the money. Jag, that was EXTREMELY kind of you! You've told us your story of coming from nothing, and wanting to share your good fortune, there are very few people that would of done this on the anonymous world of the internet, but to me thats that true definition of sharing/giving.

The "villains" were banned by the Past Head Mod. Not myself or Hache.
Some have left on their own, and saying they were banned.
The RX has never been big on Drama... But I believe a little here and there are Ok.
as long as it doesn't get out of hand.
You will note that this Thread has Not been Moved.
Yet. (<)<
We will see where it stands after Today.
He had some erratic behavior in other posts that led people to believe that he was probably -1000 or so not to pay so they mentioned it. I suppose they could of waited but it definitely wasn't random speculation or anything, he more than provided the ammo for the questioning of his character.
At this point for me its no longer an issue of will he pay or will he stiff.
Now the 6K has become dirty money as far as im concerned.
The intentions have been reveled as very self serving.
Basically its turned into a poster thinking 6K is worth forum strangers thinking im a big shot.
I was hoping the intention of the 6K giveaway would have been a Paying it Forward, out of the goodness of my heart type deal.
Turns out it is nothing more then a 6K payout to buy forum cred.
Pretty sad when you think about it.

Not a black eye to therx in the least.
That would be like the NFL getting a black eye because there was an ENRON comercial on Monday Night Football.
Things have improved.
Nothing stopping you guys from unbanning the people that the previous administration banned though
Everyone just likes to blame anything on the RX.
If this was a Money Transaction between two posters, Yes the RX would have stepped in and gave a warning.
The "Winner" of the $6K has Nothing vested, didn't exchange Monies with the OP.
Yes it would be bad if he didn't pay, and we will take care of the OP on our End
as I told Killa I would.
Black Eye for the RX ?? No
