The above title was the message thread in BlogShares Forum which I had a dispute with a player and a moderator. I finally resolved it and hopefully, other players will be guided accordingly to plan their bond issuance well to avoid further misunderstanding with quick players hunting for rare or artefact ideas bonds.

Here is the CC I submitted to the Forum...

Before anything else, I was determined not to reply on this message thread but, somehow, after further "research", I find it necessary to say something. Personally, I won't do this initiative at all but, for the sake of those players that might encounter the same experience like mine, READ ON:

Whether you post your intentions to sell something to a specific player in these forums or not, or you message someone in private or not, all salable items in this game are placed in Public markets, open to all, available to any player who has the funds to make such purchases... regardless of your (or anybody else's) wishes to the contrary. If players choose not to play by "your rules" they are well within their rights to do so.

I called my friend who is a manager of a bank today. I asked her about bonds and after telling her "my story", she told me that once I offered a bond to the public, anyone can take it. Although I didn't liked what I heard, I must say, newbies and pioneers alike have to practice all precautions and care when entering into bond transaction because the likes of Mr Pilot or Bear can take it from us without due considerations and will still be a legal play.

Although I didn't like to see a dog-eat-dog play, somehow, as members of this community, it is within ourselves whether we wish to return what is meant for someone else.

Laila don't get me wrong. I think that you are the most excellent addition to this game in the time between my last "stint" in Blogshares and now.
But I fail to see what wrong anybody has done you.

Gunnar

Gunnar, that's the sweetest comment I ever received so far here on BlogShares. Thank You for the sweet compliments... I must admit, since I started playing here on BlogShares, I have learned a lot of things while playing here and although I have learned it the tough way from Mr Pilot, I believe I'm a better Bond Issuer now than few days ago.

Believe what you want. What I explained is exactly what I did, and why.

Yeah, I still believe that you're mean. Although what you did was within rules, I believe you have set a bad example. This is my personal opinion and I am entitled to it. (period)

Have a little more class than that.

I do.

If you know me, you will have a second thought, Aine.. but, anyway, thanks for the time you have spent on this message thread. And, by the way, did you know that I pronounced your name as 'Ayn-e'?

Just because I didn't take up your origional offer doesn't mean I was trying to get back at you or do anything malicious. I don't have any bad will towards you, honestly.

Bear, I believe you served as an instrument and a victim of circumstance. And, I want to correct something: I didn't originally offered you, you have sent me a private message on 22:14 09 Aug 2004, remember?

Is this the example we want to give to the new players that have just entered the forum? Get to the top 25 so you can call each other names, degrade thier play, and accuse them of cheating.

We are above this folks. If you have a problem with someone don't do it in the forums. Do it in private with the PM. After all that's what it is for.

Sorry, Randy, if you were around, these things will not gonna happen in the first place..

The purpose of this message is to let all players play the game well and never be emotional on sensitive issues. Price your precious ideas in billions and never complain if someone poaches (ooppsss!) your ideas bond. Set my experience a weird example.

By the way, have you noticed? There are more moderators in the Forum than players? Anyway, I will appreciate if everyone will give me a chance to rest this case and let's give Bear a chance to sell his rare ideas...

Every life has a story.
And every experience, there's something to be learned.
Be glad that you became part of that experience...
regardless, whether you're a student or a teacher!

Mabuhay and regards from the Philippines,
