user38 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I don't want to rain on your parades but I'm afraid this isn't the most generous forum on the internet. I have just struck up a friendship with a Nigerian banker on the forum at this website: http://free.money.from.nigeria.com. He's going to give me $10 million dollars!! There are still a few details to be worked out (they apparently have some odd banking and money transfer regulations in Nigeria) but my Nigerian friend assures me I will soon be a millionaire (albeit a US dollar millionaire). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaha! Make sure you make a good friend of that Nigerian banker of yours. Shame.. where one can find those guys anyways. Any mail addresses to hand out this way? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpkr Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Oh fer crissake, Steve! You're an effing attorney already! You probably have a cool quarter mill stashed somewhere on your 100 foot yacht. Talk about lunch money, you probably spend more on drinks every day than the cost of a gold plated box of CM. And as for gas money, you forgot to mention that is a fill up for your Lear Jet. Sheesh! Michael SHHHHHHHHH!!!! You're RUINING IT for me! Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Now apologize to him, do it, we're all waiting with great anticipation. Okay. I'm sorry about spilling the beans about the yacht and the Lear Jet. I know you've been hiding those from the IRS, so I hope they haven't been reading this thread.

Any mail addresses to hand out this way? Noooo Burkina Faso is where the big dollars are, APPARENTLY the finance minister's second cousin's aunt had all of this money left to her but cannot access it and he has picked ME out of everyone to look after it for him ! What are the odds of that ? $US 40,325,000 and all I have to do is give him my details. I'll be handing out the free CM games soon enough my friends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ng cavscout Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I agree. One member fixed my laptop for free, including return shipping, when it broke during a deployment to Iraq, another bought me a copy of Tacops 4 during the same time. This is a great bunch of guys, and I have had the good fortune to meet 3 of them in person, Rune, Stuka, and Seanachai. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakai007 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 LOL, you guys are too much. I have been laughing like a crazy person and the wife and kids are looking at me funny. But it's ok, my shrink says so anyways. Thanks for all the responses, proving the point I made about the community as a whole. I think the fact that wargaming is not a twitch centric 12 year old fest has a lot to do with it. Plus many of us formerly or currently serve in the armed forces of our respective nations, and that instills a character all it's own. It's great to know things like this aren't as isolated as I thought, even furthering the warm feelings I hold for you folks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noxnoctum Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Great story and props to whoever the guy was, he should hit me up too please cause I can't afford even the standard version hehe . But no, the nicest internet community BY FAR is http://forum.grasscity.com/. Should be obvious why . I've yet to see a flame war there and I've been over there for over a year and a half. People are too busy just chillin and sharing music and funny stories with each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those paintings brought up something musical related, Floyd..yes. Certainly. Kingston wall's my second guess. But not sure, if that one's bit unpopular where Vinnart resides.

Vinnart Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Thanks again gents for the kind words about my art. Again if you would like a poster, or are interested in original work please visit my site where they can be ordered. They are good quality prints. Made in the U.S.A!

Battlefront.com Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Check the exchange rate champ. Speaking as someone with an Australian employee... unfortunately Emry's sense of the AUD is very out of date. He might as well say it's cheap to go buy beer in Canada or grab a hotel room in Paris while he's at it Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guachi Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I think I can do one better than having someone send you the $23 you needed for the game. The time lapse between CM:BO's preorder and its release was rather long. By the time it came out, I no longer had the $45 in my account. I received an email directly from Steve saying my account didn't have enough money. I gave him a sob story (my mom had cancer and I moved to Louisiana temporarily and had no money, true story - and my mom is fine) and he said, basically, that I was a good contributor to the forums and some anonymous person had purchased copies to give away, so I got my CM:BO for FREE!!!! I never posted about this when it happened, but this seems like a good opportunity. Thanks Steve and thanks anonymous dude!!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I had a forum member buy and send me some movies - The Blues Brothers was one - when I was on deployment. That was teh aewsome. If you're still reading: thanks Jim. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
