If anything, the first two guys were retarded for not asking.<br /><br />Me &gt;&gt; hey dude! free item!<br />Dude1 &gt;&gt; cool! gimme!<br />Me &gt;&gt; here you go! enjoy!<br />*ninjamijingakureboom*<br />Me &gt;&gt; *loot*<br />???<br />Profit <br /><br />Always ask.

You say thank you and then ask for another one for your sister.&quot;<br /><br />I disagree. If someone wants to give you something for free then they are up to no good. Accepting free gifts from strangers means you&#39;re going to end up chained to a toilet in a filthy apartment somewhere or worse.&quot;<br /><br />This logic applies to real life. But to put things in FFXI perspective, this is like an avatar of Altana decending and graciously electing to bestow a gift upon a recipient for her good pleasure. If a GM appeared before me in all of his gloweyness and said &quot;Hail Adventurer, here is a free item&quot;; my response would be skecptical because Dave is more of a demon than an angel. <br /><br />Perhaps something more like &quot;Thank you kind sir, are you sure you its ok to grace me with such a gift?&quot;<br /><br />I would then /joy and offer my praises to my kindly benefactorMil'berethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08832742479039913830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-77837513682897722182009-12-23T14:54:06.376-08:002009-12-23T14:54:06.376-08:00We used to give away &quot;gifts&quot; in Ultima Online. They were Grandmaster crafted trapped chests. As soon as the person would open it, BOOMBLOOYKABLAMO!<br /><br />Then we&#39;d yoink everything he carried down to his train track undies. It usually looked liek they had been muddin&#39;.<br /><br /><br />This is why I would always question why is someone giving me something and what it is. If I was not satisfied, I&#39;d reply, &quot;No thank you. It would not be fair to all of those who earned theirs the right way.&quot;<br /><br />Plus that would have made [GM]Dave even more frustrated.Leuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14031285497047212882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-89346420102658514502009-12-23T14:51:05.078-08:002009-12-23T14:51:05.078-08:00Did you end up giving anything to the two &quot;normal&quot; players, or did you simply disappear?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-62777964294200864482009-12-23T13:58:56.959-08:002009-12-23T13:58:56.959-08:00My week would not have been complete without a banning before christmas.... thank you.Lenwehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00333649729176534129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-32423273203868731292009-12-23T10:37:13.896-08:002009-12-23T10:37:13.896-08:00Me personally, I&#39;d ask what it is too, but because I&#39;m curious by nature. I&#39;d still take it and I DEFINITELY wouldn&#39;t try to bargain for something else.

It could very well have been something like &quot;free cruise through a dragon&#39;s digestive system&quot; or &quot;more free time to spend with your family&quot;, ie. feeding to Jormy and banning, respectively. Always ask before opening a gift on the internet.<br /><br />On the other hand, that guy was clearly retarded.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12288619925984131900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-70729503243823229062009-12-23T01:50:50.832-08:002009-12-23T01:50:50.832-08:00LOL!<br /><br />It&#39;s a little big on you...<br /><br />This made me smile.<br /><br />Thanks [GM]Dave!Kahshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05458745613034173220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-70852584852447049872009-12-22T23:21:37.250-08:002009-12-22T23:21:37.250-08:00I kind of agree with Atomic Skull, maybe I&#39;m just cynical. If you had wanted to play it the other way you could have given the first two guys a trip to Mordion Gaol and called them retards for not questioning you. <br />I think where that guy really went wrong was saying a free SH just wouldn&#39;t cut it for him. It was pretty much a slippery slope of retardation after that. <br />It still would have been funny either way. <br />Thanks :)Meekahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18244749553446803854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-30759363510573260222009-12-22T23:06:55.010-08:002009-12-22T23:06:55.010-08:00&quot;If someone offers you something free, you don&#39;t ask them what it is.
