These Loan Shark operations are destined to fail.

We need an sbr pawn shop so the loans can be paid back.

Hold on a sec...

ARE YOU ACTUALLY COMPARING 25 POINT SBR LOANS TO $$$ LOANS???

You can guarantee that most will fail if not all. I can't wait for people to start asking SBR for help once they get burned. It is just ignorant.

No one will be asking for help. I am the one risking the points, and we will know in short order if it will be successful. So far, we have not had an issue.

Was I talking about you in particular? I have know idea who you are, there have been issues with the points in the past and you can guarantee in the future as well. All having to do with loaning, paying back etc etc etc. This was not a shot at you Toasty.

No. I am simply making a statement that we believe posters understand that their reputation is more important than a few points. Thus, under no circumstances will we ask for a bail-out.

We have denied a few applicants due to have a shotty cred record. These individuals know who they are.

flyingillini · 11-10-09, 11:25 PM

Toasty, I know you joined in 07 but you obviously have not been around that long since the points have been going on. There were a lot of issues regarding what I was talking about.

Don't forget that THE KING'S army are on hand to deal with any non-payers.

I have some understanding of the situation...

However, I will note that a few weeks ago Mexican Stallion was running a non-post up betting operation. There were a few trouble makers, but they have been identified.

Personally, I view this as a good social experiment. Might be worthy of further research, as I can't quite think of anything else like it.

You do realize one of your "partners" has soiled his reputation a few times on SBR?

Thanks, that goes without saying. I was also referencing this by my comment about posters reputation being worth more than points. I would hate to see a 1k poster lose all credibility over a non-payment of 29 points.

"Give to me control of a forum's currency, and I care not who hands out its infractions"

Should The KING's operation become too highly leveraged, you can guarantee that SBR will NOT allow a complete meltdown of the points system. They will prop it up as much as they need to - "for the good of the forum".

The KING's operation will be free to take huge risks, reaping the rewards if successful, with the implicit understanding that it will be bailed out if (when?) things turn sour.

And who will be left holding the bag?

YOU, the SBR points holder.

Which partner is this? Also, the buck stops with me, so all old situations should be rectified.

Wow! Very inciteful

How novel...a guy with hardly any points...running a loan shop!

Ace_of_Spades · 11-11-09, 12:47 AM

Why does anyone give a shit what people do with their points. By the way, Gs pks, if that is you in your avatar, you look like a complete dik.

The truly ironic thing is that this guy is accusing us of "Spamming players talk", yet a mod moved our loan book thread here to apparently help posters. Also, he himself is making tens of posts about us. I seriously pity someone that has that little going for them.

I also have more points then him, as the loan operation is being funded by me. (Yet he thinks the opposite.)

poker_dummy101 · 11-11-09, 12:54 AM

1 or 2 bad transactions and you could be out the same amount as the interest you get from the other loans

I've obviously evaluated the pros and cons. It would be nice if posters would mind their own business, as I will mine.

Man, you are dumb enough to be hit by a parked bus. Fuk off with your stupid reply to my post, you foolish peasant. Go get a diploma that isn't from a cereal box.
