War Room Lounge V32: Justice for Prokofievian!!

[Cubo de Sangre]

It's clear, I'm just ranting.

Cool.

Displays of poor sportsmanship (both when winning and losing) reflect character. Low character is always disappointing to witness.

 

[Prokofievian]

Just think about it: the next time @waiguoren goes to make a bet, there will likely be someone watching who can explain this situation to @waiguoren 's potential bet partner. What will @waiguoren 's argument then be? Oh don't worry, we'll finalize the bet and that way it's enforceable. what you talkin about enforcement for? How about you use the dick and balls between your legs to act right and we won't need any enforcement. It concedes the point that one simply must worry that @waiguoren is a welcher in the first place.

I don't know about you, but I don't want that kind of baggage. Though at this point that particular ship has already sailed no matter what he does, so he might as well keep his sig. This guy is a pink belt in everyone's eyes.

Get the OT and 4chan on his ass. Dude'll get dumped by his e-bookies and he'll be busted down to street-level betting. Shame will throw his game off and he'll turn to pills for refuge. We'll dissect the aftermath from the perspective of karma.

Holy hell man.

I just came back and was preparing to write a long post about how I think you're failing to see this from the other perspective but that I would be gracious and offer you my sig with the understanding that, going forward, terms like "deal" or "agree" mean nothing unless the final confirmation occurs in Lead's thread. That's how I've understood things since I started betting on Sherdog in 2016, and that's why I've made no fuss on the many occasions when my opponents pulled out prior to confirmation. It's just like an online bookie. You make your selection and enter your risk amount, but there is a final confirm button before the bet gets placed.

To me, that final button has always been Lead's confirmation. To you, I guess it's just the other party's message. Going forward, I also wouldn't change to your way of looking at things since I have no evidence that anyone else I've had prospective bets with was interpreting things that way. It boils down to a difference of perspective and I think the manliest thing to do is just offer the other guy what he wants on a one-time basis and to clarify for the future. So I just logged in to offer that to you and extend the olive branch.

But now I log in and see that you are over here whining up a storm. Bitching and moaning post after post.

Did you grow up with a father in the home? Do you have no shame? Where do you people come from?

Don't make appeals to your army of bots, either. The actual bet lords (undefeated, undisputed champion @Jack V Savage and King Casino @Lead) know that I have a very strong argument here.

 

[curryjunkie]

Imagine having essentially the entire war room come to the conclusion on the basis of the evidence that you are a slimy bet welcher, and not even have the decency to offer a bet settlement.

@waiguoren I don't know about you, but my good name is a lot more important than any sig.

You can ask @HereticBD whether I need @Lead 's enforcement to honour a sig bet. Enforcement exists to deal with bet welchers. That doesn't mean you're not welching when you welch on a bet outside of that enforcement.

See, your mistake is putting up with his shit in the first place and not having his inane ramblings on ignore....

Game of Thrones seasons:
1. Season 4
2. Season 3
3. Season 5
4. Season 1
5. Season 2
6. Season 6
7. Season 7

Season 2 wasn't nearly as good as I remembered.

I haven't rewatched them in a while and wouldn't remeber what exactly what went there.

It would be hard for me to rank season 1 because at the time it came out, it was rather game changing with having 0 qualms of killing its main character because he slipped up. We've become a bit used to that by now but when it happened (I hadn't yet read the books) it set the tone for everything knowing the stakes were very, very real.

Which season had the red wedding?

 

[Lead]

So just how big of a pussy is @Lead rare is it to almost die from what @Lead experienced?

During a surgery it’s next to impossible that would kill someone cause a person is constantly monitoring your breathing and acts on it when they see a narcotic makes you stop. Outside of surgery, probably more common if you are just taking drugs you don’t know the dosages to. There’s no way for us to know about this epidemic however, let alone have a civil discussion about it.

 

[PolishHeadlock]

I’ve been prescribed oxycotton three times, including now, but never took it. I can’t see myself getting hooked on pain killers but I’m always paranoid into thinking I could take something once and not get off it.

They're all time released now anyways.

Gotta crush them up in your whiskey to make it worth it

 

[Andy Capp]

I'm in a bit of a hurry and I'm going to be AFK a lot today, so forgive me for just quickly posting this here for you to debate rather than search for the right thread to post it into:

 

[Rational Poster]

Yes imagine having things like universal Medicare, a proper minimum wage, mat leave , bankers that don’t tank the entire economy for short term gain, no ethno nationalist movement talking over the Conservative party, etc. etc. etc.

Yet in spite of all this jazz it still sucks.

Weird.

You weren't going to do anything. If you had decided that you were going to make it right, you wouldn't back out. You saw a reason to make yet another excuse for welching the bet and took it. GTFO if that is how you are going to be.

I thought Greoric was a med student or something.

By all objective measures, I’m a top expert in my specialty (and subspecialty).

By all objective measures, you can suck on deez nuts

Season 3 had the red wedding, you newb.

Season 1 is still a masterclass of storytelling. The series was pretty much flawless up until season 5.

For me:

S3
S1
S2
S4
S6
S5
S7

Gaaaaaaahhhhh

 

[Limbo Pete]

I was top of my class through residency at a good program and consistory had epic scores each year (few 99 percentile scores nationally). Turned down jobs at some really top, ritzy places and faculty appointments at prestigious universities. Was also pursued again by a certain government agency. Turned down prestige and potential fame in favor of lazier, higher-paying work. In the end, that’s what matters most I think.

Bruh, they're teasing you.

With that said, I think we can all agree that Wai's WR bet record is now reset to 0-0 since we can't know how many losses he dodged/wins he opportunistically claimed without having skin in the game.

Pop quiz, hot shot, what's the biggest organ in the human body?

Also, who gets famous as a doctor? Most of the most famous doctors - Dr. Phil, Dr. Pepper, Dr. Dre, Dr. Seuss - don't even have M.D. degrees.

If being a doctor is so hard how come all lawyers are doctors?!

Not famous like a household name, but a nationally recognized expert within your field. If you’re a big shot at an ivy league university or leading specialty hospital, have a high powered academic career, seek leadership positions in national organizations, get involved with important research, etc you could be a well-know physician. Any academic physician could probably rattle off some names of people they consider experts in their field. The problem is, this all involves a lot of extra work/stress, and usually these jobs don’t pay all that well.
