Anyone else get their GTA San Andreas settlement checks yet?

[Icarus Moonsight]

We used to play a game. It was based on social stigma, and beating the hell out of it. When in a public place, someone would start the game by whispering "penis", then the next person would up the volume a bit. This would continue in a round within the group and start again the next round with the first person. The game would continue like that until someone refused to go up to the next level. The others got to point at them and call them pretty much anything they wanted! "Bitch!" or "Little bitch!" was very popular. Yes, I've screamed "PENIS!" in public (using an Operatic sing-song style, usually FTW). And even kupo causes me pause.

Don't worry about perjury. They can't prove it unless you admit to it. It's an asinine method to award a settlement anyway... Take the money and run.

Everyone who has posted in this thread is a douche if you ask me. No kidding.

What a nice lawsuit to be a part of. Must be nice for the world to owe you something. Thanks for contributing to world stupidity.

Everyone who has posted in this thread is a douche if you ask me. No kidding.

So anyone who has a contrary opinion the the topic, and also yourself? Just checkin.

[stargate]

Yes. As long as there's no Hot Coffee in Episodes, I have no problem with playing it. It's just San Andreas that offended me and I have every right to this settlement. Don't know why you have an issue with that.

I find this to be a load of BS. Are you trying to actually convince us that you were "offended"? Seriously? "Offended"?

norkusa, I am not going to judge you. It's not like you killed anyone. You told a small lie to get a few bucks, probably thinking it was no big deal. I am sure I have done worse.

But can you explain why you were offended? I mean, do you have children that saw the content? Is it against your religion? Are you a Jack Thompson supporter? Do simulated sex scenes involving no nudity really make you sick?

What irks me is that anyone who wanted too see this content would actually need to access it with a code. So unless you have children that got access to the game and used the code, then I call you a liar.

[kupomogli]

I think I got it.

These people might have been offended by the coffee and not the sex. Maybe there is no coffee in GTA Episodes From Liberty City. Or maybe they have something against hot coffee? Maybe moderately warm coffee would have been fine. Or nowdays they're serving cold coffee at some places. Maybe they just wanted a choice of which coffee they could pick instead of being forced to have their characters drink hot coffee before the pixelated porn. Or it could have been the sex, yeah.

Hey! We're douche-buddies! "penis"...

@douche-buddy Kupo: I'm highly offended by coffee... Decaf to be precise.

Guy fakes being offended to get money.
Guy gets money.
People admit they understand this.
People start retarded argument that flies in the face of previous step.

What am I missing here?

He didn't "fake" being offended. He signed a legally binding document under penalty of perjury claiming that he was offended when at the same time, he was posting on this site that he wasn't offended and was worried about submitting for the settlement because he knew it was perjury. I don't think there are too many people who agree with this guy and what he did. The fact that he then backtracked and claimed to have been offended all along was a straight up lie which he tried to get away with, not being bright enough to know that all of his posts from two years ago are searchable in mere seconds.

I would like to think that most people on this site are honest and truthful in their dealings. In fact, like most members of this community I count on it. When longtime members post about dishonest conduct of this type and a few other members act like it's no big deal, it makes me question how trusting I should be of other members of this site. I know the damage that lawsuit abuse can do and there is no justification for lying to collect money or lying to other members on this site. To me, it's no different than shoplifting or any other crime which involves fraud or dishonesty. I don't think it's an overreaction and I don't think the fact that you can and will get away with something makes it right.

Why would you have the game without the Hot Coffee in it, that's the BEST BIT

So....he faked being offended for money.

[tom]

Can I get $400 for this please?

[kupomogli]

I was offended by that pic. Only because I'm at work.

[emceelokey]

So it took 4 years for $35 to arrive?

Wow, get off your high horse. It's sad that you write off Nork for something so incredibly piddling considering his longstanding reputation as a community member and seller. To counteract your idiocy, I will never deal with you for anything. I don't want to get involved with someone who is such a holier-than-thou moron. Lord knows if I'm a day later than you expect shipping your item, you'll be calling me a thief faster than I can say hot coffee.

You should be working at work, not looking at nude pictures (unless you work for Penthouse magazine)

I could care less about your opinion and I think most of the rest of the people in this thread and this site feel the same way. The fact that you have made absolutely no rational arguments for fraud and perjury other than some ridiculous claim that if it's a big corporation, it's ok to commit a crime and steal from them is a sad reflection on your lack of morals. Your affinity for foul language only adds to my low opinion of you. Someday when your home or business is robbed by someone who just assumes you have insurance so it's not a problem, you can come back here and tell me all about "victimless" crimes. I'm sorry if wanting to be honest and truthful with other people is old fashioned or ridiculous in your book. I guess unlike some people, I believe that my reputation and my word means something.

[Icarus Moonsight]

That is assuming that lying is even a crime...

If I stood on the corner with a sign that said, "Paying ~$35 a person if they are offended by polygonal sex acts." Who's fault is it I am being lied to by those that are not offended? Maybe the fault is merely mine for giving incentive for and soliciting possible falsehoods. Or maybe it's the corruption of the overarching power structure, that cornered me in this position to begin with? Who is going to pass on the money, voluntarily offered, over a trivial and arbitrary falsehood that harms no one, and can never be proved?

There are two major forms of moral corruption; Those that make moral arguments that justify, ex-post facto, their own or others immoral acts and those that make moral arguments to satisfy and validate their own bigotries. Whether it's done knowingly or not is the degree.

[portnoyd]

I'm sorry if wanting to be honest and truthful with other people is old fashioned or ridiculous in your book. I guess unlike some people, I believe that my reputation and my word means something.

It has nothing to do with "being old fashioned". Again, your bias (a lawsuit of this kind closed your former employer) makes your opinion very suspect. It's funny how you say "Wait til it happens to you!" when it already happened to you. If it does, I hope I don't let my judgment become as clouded as yours has become.

Speaking of old fashioned, you still have the notion that corporate America or the government gives a shit about you? That the law is just and right? That taking this bullshit money is going to make you less "moral", that keeping your morals against immoral entities is somehow "the right thing to do"? That's just being naive. I don't know what world you live in, but it isn't mine. You can keep being holier than thou all you want, but you'll keep getting screwed until you realize how things really are.

You say that your reputation and word mean something... yet you pass off nork's reputation (considerably better than yours, I might add) for something as trite as this. That's really sad.

Oh, and:

Hi, I'm just going to throw this out there. This is a message board. The whole point of a message board is for people on all sides of an issue to share their opinions. So yes, I do strongly care for portnoyd's opinion. If he doesn't share his opinion, then the whole concept of a message board goes down the tubes.

Thanks for your understanding. Oh, and fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck.

[stargate]

I just want to say that I am "faulting Nork" for coming on this forum alleging that he was offended by the Hot Coffee content and, as a result, he was entitled to the refund. This is what he said. I call it complete and utter B.S.

and BTW, his silence on the matter has spoken volumes...
