Yes you did. You took someone else's scenario design and submitted it as your own work to the MwTII contest. That is why you are banned from participating in any more of those contests.
That's not what happened - the threads are still there for anyone wanting to read them - and any banning from "future contests" would be up to the people running those contests. *shrug* Get over it already.
"Wild Bill" is a conning people the same way that we have people selling non-existant houses on eBay.
In fact, he's not.
Whatever he has supposedly done in the wargaming community in the past has no meaning.
Not to you, but apparently, those bidding up his items to 300 dollars seem to think something of him. There are a lot of CM players that think highly of his work also. You're simply talking from your own limited frame of reference.
What he is currently doing is using ASL as a way to bilk people out of money by selling crap that has no real game value.
No he's not. If anyone is getting "bilked" it's because they're buying things on impulse. Mark's website is the perfect reference tool. I proved myself that you can write in and ask detailed questions, and get them, to inform yourself before making a purchase. There's no one being "bilked."
Caveat Emptor" applies to both him and you.
That's exactly what I've been saying. There's no reason for any buyer not to be informed.
Has it occurred to anyone that these guys paying 300 dollars are doing it because they
want to?
I don't see a whole lot of negative feedback being left.
You guys do know how ebay works, right? If you feel ripped off, you leave negative feedback, and the guy goes out of business. If WBW is such a "rip off artist" why hasn't that happened? I think maybe the answer is obvious.
Not a single negative feedback in the last 12 months.
Not a single neutral feedback either.
So, where are the outraged buyers?
Sorry, not buying the phony claims here. All I'm seeing are a lot of satisfied customers. I'm not saying I understand it. I'm saying stop interfering with someone doing a legitimate business. And maybe mind some of your own while you're at it.
