April 23, 200620 yr **Before I start I want to start with stating that I know I'm [developmentally delayed]ed.** So today I'm on world 16 crafting runes, paying people to run ess for me. Well, a certain individual comes up to me to be payed and take some ess. In a momentary lapse of intelligence I click the "offer all" option and give him 500 ess. I accept, he accepts. Well, within about ten seconds I realize what I have done. I immediately start texting, "I gave you all my ess." He logs off. He logs back on and then I PM him, asking if he would give me back my ess. He starts to play coy and tells me that I need to get him a set of Rune legs or he'll sell it. I wasn't sweating it too much, like I said it was only 500 and could be easily obtained once more. However, I tell the guy, "You could have some integrity and be a man and give it back and we continue to do business, or be a dirtbag and don't and then we won't do business again." He ofcourse chose the latter. So though I messed up, the point is the guy still should've gave it back, no harm no foul. I can honestly say I've been on the otherside of a similar situation and the person's property was returned. I guess noone knows the value of Honor and Integrity anymore.

April 23, 200620 yr Mistakes happen, but not everyone's so bad. Once I was selling glories, the person ask for 10 glories, which he traded what I thought was 800k for it. It turned out to be 80k 10min after I traded, when I was depositing my cash. I immediately pmed the person, and thankfully he traded back me 8 glories (i ask him to keep 2). I suppose I am a lucky person. Sorry about your lost. Mistakes happen :(. All I learned in life, I learned on Tip.it
April 23, 200620 yr Unfortunately, most people in RS (and real life) are idiots. I'm not talking about you btw, I'm talking about the guy who wouldn't give you your ess back :P
April 23, 200620 yr Yes. When I was much newer in the game, I was fishing at Draynor and lagged just after seeing a River Troll appear. When the lag subsided, I was in Lumbridge. I headed back over to Draynor to continue fishing and three or four guys were laughing at me and telling me I needed to pay more attention to what I was doing. Since they obviously saw me die, I simply asked if one of them had picked up my blue cape. One of them had. I asked if they were willing to return it and the names started flying, as were accusations of begging. Whatever. It was only a blue cape and it's only a game. It was after that that my fascination with people's behavior on a MMORG began. Now I'm able to find pretty much everything anyone does at least mildly interesting, even if it does disadvantage my avatar.

He ofcourse chose the latter. You handled that situation immaculately. If somebody is missing out on some great friendship and teamwork just because they want to keep 500 essence for themselves, then I would personally want nothing to do with them ever again. Don't worry I think he's the one who's a few sandwiches short of a picnic ;) ~Ian Retired Tip It Moderator | Zybez Radio DJ - Listen Here

He definitly could have made the money for his precious Rune legs faster by just working for me rather than trying to sell 20k worth of ess. (now some1 quote me and add me to ur sig)
April 24, 200620 yr get members? 94 mage 94 range 87 hits 80 defense, all 94 combat, all skill =) currently (retired?) from runescape, only play on occasion now http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=585887
April 24, 200620 yr get members? :roll: Yeah, because in order to become a member you have to pass an integrity test...
April 24, 200620 yr Author get members? Ummm.... if you're referring to me, I am. And if you're referring to him, then right on... I guess. :roll: (now some1 quote me and add me to ur sig)
April 24, 200620 yr ...off topic (even though you do mention it in your post), I've seen you post in a few other threads as well. Nothing would have given me the impression you are challenged. If someone who can post as intelligently as you is considered "mentally challenged" than I think that condition is drastically underdiagnosed, considering some of the other people I've encountered here and in RS.
April 24, 200620 yr this is just a game.. come on.. fgs.. aren't difficult to get back tat 5oo ess though.. :lol:

April 25, 200620 yr there is no real "honor" and "integrity" in runescape, because kids, runescape is a game *gasp*
April 25, 200620 yr add me on rs.my ingame name is baller577.just tell me u lost the 500 ess and ill give u some k?i mean its just a game
April 25, 200620 yr add me on rs.my ingame name is baller577.just tell me u lost the 500 ess and ill give u some k?i mean its just a game you must be bored
April 29, 200620 yr Author Whoa... I'm apalled to read these things. Sure, it's a game, but in everything you do, you still show and represent yourself. Honor and integrity play in to everything. If you don't believe that, then something is seriously wrong with your thought process. (now some1 quote me and add me to ur sig)
April 30, 200620 yr mistakes happen, and 500 ess is not realy much! Currently hunting for clues. Any advice? PM me please =)
April 30, 200620 yr Author You have no reason to feel stupid until you alc a party hat *blushes*. How much did u get? (now some1 quote me and add me to ur sig)
April 30, 200620 yr Not sure, was alcing yew longs and clicked it by accident so I already had money out. Sells to general store for like 5 gp though, so maybe 2 gp from alcing? I lost 398 gp on the nature rune alone (was before runecrafting was out so nats sold 400-450 each). But because it happened so long time ago the hat was much more cheaper than it is now so it was not as big of a deal as if it had happened today.
April 30, 200620 yr ouch what color was it? i run my ess myself so i dont have that problem sorry for you but you were luckier than some...
April 30, 200620 yr world 16 air altar? I work there as a crafter lol... I got 1.85mil and 18500 ess and 40k something ess, I really don't think 500 ess is that much of a loss. Besides, thanks to the new update, there are two types of runes now, normal and pure. Normal, which can be turned into airs are only 20gp each. You just lost 10k, that is VERY easy to earn for any member, and if your a free player, just do 4 runs at world 16 as a runner, thats 10000gp! Not that hard to earn back :) . By popular demand, this signature is back- however I currently do not have a blog up at the moment and if I did I wouldn't update it. Sorry, the sig links to nowhere :( .
