  This will most likely be my last month here... I'm starting college, and this will be the perfect time to quit this heavily flawed game. I'm selling double the credits WGT gives you for the same price. HMU to purchase some.

  These are your words not mine

  Looks like your cleaning house to me.

  I am just letting people be aware of the situation and asking questions.

  I have not accused you of anything.

   .My posts are not personal,but valid questions.

  I didn't misquote you ,where did you say in your status that you wouldn;t be playing much any more??

  Your status says you intend to quit .i see nothing that says you won't be playing much anymore, .Where did youu say that/? I looked and I for the life of me can't find that comment.

  All I have to go by is your actions.

  Nothing personal

  just facts

  You say your leaving in a month 

  selling youtr credits.

  Sounds like spring cleaning to me.

  How else is there to read this??

  your words not mine.

  Just asking 

  Respectfullty

  AllieCat

  And what would hurt to put the prize money in ESCROW anyway??

  WHAT IS YOUR REASON NOT TOO??   i AM CURIOUS.

  I put alot of questions ,valid question out there

  All you're trying to do is start conflict so people will agree with you and try to make me look bad. I say just mind your business and keep playing the tournament. If you weren't so busy trying to point out problems and things I should do, rumors and conflicts wouldn't start in the first place. This isn't just towards you but everyone who always has something negative to say.

  I don't need to put anything in escrow. If you don't trust me to pay out tourney, then WD. I don't want you to be upset.

  It sorta sounds like you are trying to start something and cause more drama.

  I have to agree with Bug ... I you think you'll win and don't believe he will pay out .. then Withdraw.     I have no problem throwing stones at folks - when they deserve it.  This is entirely out of line.

  No reason to put anything in "escrow" which you can't even do without having to pay another $50 dollars in fees to WGT.   The sponsor is quite generous enough putting up $500 dollars worth of credits to the winner (Net $450 after the WGT cut).   Funny part is .. whoever does win most likely has a good enough game they don't even need the credits.

  In almost 4 yrs I've never seen anything even close to this generous.   That doesn't even include help from the community for the other 12,000 credits and 30 sleeves of balls.   This is as rich a commitment from one individual as I've ever seen.

  Npt at all,and what stones have I thrown??

  I have merely stated faxts.All facts.

  Read my threads ,I have.And not once did I say anything  that wasn't true.

  The only reason I suggested escrow is simple.He clearly stated in his status ,he sa leaving WGT in a month and selling his credits.

  How am i to be the bad guy here?

  All my questions are valid and no accusations were  being made.

  If he is leaving WGT as he clearly states in a month,selling his credits at half price BTW ,HUS WORDS NOT MINE, and the tournament is still in progress,I just thought it more convenient that the prize money be put in the hands of a party that will still be  an active wgt memebr.

  No stones ,no defamation of character

  simple solutions for a busy guy who is leaving wgt and going back to college.

   

  No direspect intended ,but it seemed i struck a nerve

  Where is the harm in asking questions??

  Obviously there is.

  Had my initial thread not been met with such hostility, and answered forth right and not in such a defensive manner,I would have left welkl enough alone.

  But that was not the case.

  I copied and pasted statements 

  asked questions

  where I got no answers

  .That is why we are at this point..

  I get pushed I push baclk

  As someone who got knocked out of this competition long ago, I'd just like to say that had I won it, I wouldn't have cared if the prize was there or not. I'd have just been over the moon about beating so many great players. 

  There is no reason to suspect that the tournament starter won't pay up, and even if he didn't, then I'm sure some people including myself would be happy to have a whip round for the poor winner.

  Buggyyy doesn't deserve this treatment.

  There's no push back - there are no "nerves struck".   You asked once and he answered that you don't have to worry about the payout.   Why would you continue to pursue unless you didn't believe him. He told you the payout would be there.   That should be enough.

  Play your game - try to win ... that's all you need to worry about.

  I guess that all the PGA tour tournaments should escrow their prize money just in case they chose to not continue their sponsorship for the next year.

  Buggyy has stated that he has the funds to pay the winners and that while he is starting school this semester and won't play as much, he will still come in from time to time.  I have no reason to not believe him and I can't imagine why you would.  As Lou said play the game and win, the prize will be there when the tournament is over.

  Allie.... i do agree understand and agree with your questions based on the status posted.

  Guys... Allie asked some legitimate questions... none of which have been answered.

  She is right in saying, that if Buggyyy had of responded with a positive and assuring answer in regard to his commitment to this tourney and explained what he is doing, she would have let this drop.

  BUT... what from what i have read,  the answers have been benign and not dealing with what Allie has asked.  

  To be honest, with the previous Tourney attempts of Buggyyys being cancelled , then an attempt, mid tournament, to reduce prize money, i am not surprised questions are being asked.

  Buggyyy... a full open explanantion of what you are doing, how you are protecting those creds for the Prize Pool, how you are going to monitor the Tourney while at College etc, these would all be valid points you could make to alleviate any concerns the likes of Allie and others may have... all based on YOUR status comments of "quitting the game" (and yes i see you have changed it to "not as much")

  If you are going to College to study Politics... i think you will do well, as you have answered the questions in here like one.

  My 5c.

  This is what I didn't want happening. I answered her question the first time. I told her I will payout the tourney. What else is there to say?
