Beverly Hills Bookie Info.....

MC - Thats fine I agree with you. Free is better. You said we could do it with the post up so thats how we did it. Thats why I made the prizes so high so it would be enticing.

Justin posted that we would be giving away 1000 every week for everyone to participate in. Then you guys say BHB should do more. Just try to be us for one second. Try to give that much money away then people say "ya, but what about this"

Tell me what you guys want so I can be done with this situation. My stance on feeling unappreciated will not change, but I will try to work something out for you guys.

God, I just gave away tons at the Rx party.

I will sya it one more time. I never said anything negative about BHB because of Scott's decision to cancel the contest. ALl I did was report that the contest was off. I understood that by not getting MANY players signed up, it would not be fair to ask Scott to deliver the Generous Prize package he offered.

I just didnt like the fact that he came in and ripped me when I never said a bad word bout him or the book.

If you dont believe me, scroll up and see the sequence of posts in this thread. I never once said anything negative about the book.

Since there's no middle groud here I vote that we should just give the prize money to me.

It's not like I'm not the sharped punter on here anyways.

 

[lander]

Ken, that looks like 5 messages, not 2

No wonder you lost Krackman money - you can't count

 

[MadCapper]

Scott,

I thought the 1000 weekly give away was a great and very generous gesture. I never asked for more.

Why single me out.

I dont want to fight bout this because I know it was just some sort of miscommunication and we shouldnt burn bridges over this.

I will tell all of you this BHB was very very generous at the RX party and it was obvious to see by the posters that attended.

Scott,
Did you call Ken?

 

[bhbookie]

MC - I signaled you out because you said there would be at least 100 entries. That is pertinent information so the other posters can understand BHB's reason for canceling. BHB relies on the person who organizes the contest to take car3e of these type of things. We just foot the bill.

Why else would we do contests. If we had to do the leg work we wouldnt do them. Its nothing against you personaly, but what you said would happen didnt, so we dont want to be the one who takes the fall for the whole thing. Again we are the ones giving away money here.

As far as Ken goes, I think the time of him having to chip in all the time is over. Ken does enough for you guys, and I think we should all stop being so quick to take advantage of his offers. When we do things like this all we are saying is "put up some cash and the problem will go away". Thats not how it should be.

At this point posters should know BHB as well as myself well enough to know that we will be giving crap away all year long, EVERY YEAR. So deal with it if once and a while things dont go your way.

Ken, thanks for the offer. I am saving you money on this one.

 

[bhbookie]

MC - at the end of the day I will still like you. I dont plan on burning bridges either. Just tell me what we need to do and we will get it worked out.

Ken, Im not calling you because I know you will offer money to help resolve this, and I dont want you chipping in. Save you money so you can lose some to BHB this year.

When this is resolved I will call first thing. xoxo

Scott,

I said I was anticipating 100...how can I guarantee 100? Thats a little unconcionable.

Bottom line, it doesnt matter anymore. You have done what you can do and I appreciate it. And I am sure many others do as well. I never asked for more. You always know my stance on your book. I think you are extremely generous. I was just a little offended how you came out and said what you did after knowing how much I tried to get this thing off the ground.

But as I said, I am chalking this up to a miscommunication.

I kinda like disputes like this. Lets me get worked up a little.

See, I told you this was going no where fast!

Scott, I dont need you to tell us about abusing Ken! In fact, Ken is The Shrink BECAUSE OF US (The posters) so STFU!

 

[MadCapper]

Scott,

In my eyes, you dont need to do anything else.
Its not like you owe it to anyone to sponsor contests. You did it as a favor and so did I. Its not an easy task of putting together and running contests.

I think your 1000 weekly give away contest is far more than generous. Plus from what I read, its free. Correct?

-MC

 

[bhbookie]

MC - I apologize for signaling you out. You were the only one in the boat with BHB and the blame had to be shared with someone.

I know you were just trying to do something nice for your fellow posters. Now you know how we feel when we try to do something nice and we get slammed for it.
