yeah wtf. If I made that kind of mistake, my first priority would be set things straight. Not "prep" for few days, lol. Its not like it takes a huge effort to contact via email and maybe transfer the money via paypal or something.

Thank you. I truly care about your opinion of me. In fact I am crushed.
Seriously though, I haven't been able to get a hold of him. I would reserve judgement till the end of the week. That's all. If he hasn't sorted shit out by then, then he's stiffed BC. I just know him well enough to know that to organise a big party like this and stiff people is NOT his style. He was actually really excited about it and the Nintendo thing was NOT B$.
Hell, Kobun knows Rob from Nintendo, so if you want to get another source backing up the info that Rob was all set to sponsor the event, then maybe Kobun could be so kind as to mail Rob and ask him. Since he's impartial an all. And of course, whether he gives a shit.

I do know Rob. But it's really not my place to start emailing and trying to figure out the mystery -- that's Folder's job at this point.

Not to figure out the mystery, just to confirm he was to show up and hook the bill.
By the way, you back in San Fran?

Yeah, I'm back.
I don't really find it relevant whether or not Folder was really planning on the party or not. The facts in evidence are that he didn't come through, didn't inform anyone of what was happening, and hasn't yet given anyone an explanation.
He could come in here and tell a very convincing and maybe even true story that could fix everything, which is pretty much the only way this is going to wind down.

This thread is totally selling me on Phoenix Wright.
Folder actually took the time to post in this thread... and didn't have the time to say anything of value. Like, you know, that he was too busy to give a full explanation now and needs more time to sort it out and was really sorry. Which only just confirms the general thought that he's a douchebag.
On the bright side, as many at the Cabo Cantina noted with glee, Folder not coming through means we can still hate Sp0ng!

I cant even begin to imagine what he was hoping to accomplish with what he DID reply with.

I think he was trying to imply that we are somehow blowing this all out of proportion.MrAngryFace said:

It is amazing how few people here seem to understand how traumatizing and debilitating jet lag really is, especially for the elderly. Maybe if he were younger, some of the comments here wouldn't be so callous, but for heaven's sake, people, he managed to drag himself over to the keyboard and to try and explain himself only to be overcome by pain and yet still you harass him.
On another note. Where are the Kids in the Hall pics? It is a failed thread without a decent KTH reference.
Look BuddyC, I'm just torn up about this. I'll tell you what...

Yeah, the name "Lee Rogers" sounds familiar as well. It could have been that he wrote it, you commented in pseudo agreement, and your name got mixed in with the bunch. In any case, i'm not holding a grudge. It happened so long ago, but it's just one of those things that sticks out in my mind.mmlemay said:
And yeah, i miss the old days and boards. EGS, HG forums, NG forums, etc. The internet was such a smaller place then, and even lurkers like me felt like it was a place where everyone knew everyone else. i wish i could return to those days of innocence.
Considering the "Folder Incident", it just really boggles the mind that someone would do something like this. Posting rumors as news is one thing, but lying about something like this is another. It just creates a negative attitude in the game journalist/enthusiast community, and grounds for bitterness and asskicking the next time paths cross. Even if it were a misunderstanding, Folder's silence is damning.
At least everyone managed to have a good time.

I'm seriously getting pissed off and I didn't even go to the damn party!
If Folder doesn't come back to BuddyC by the end of the week or this thread. Permaban the bitch, the word SPONG and move on. And the guys who drank up paypal money.
2 weeks is more than enough time to resolve this. That and someone let ROB at Nintendo know how Folder used his name + Nintendo in this fiasco. Bad PR is bad PR.
Folder can sell his E3 swag to pay the bills. Bitch.

i love how random this thread gets if you skip a few pages. is that my face i saw in the animated gif?
someone should make an animated gif of my rotating ass, and set it up so that folders face slams into it or something.

It's a good thing I didn't show up with my friends -- they were ready to drink a ton when we arrived. Thankfully, after the FF concert, I was hungry as heck and we ate at an IHOP near my house and chatted until 1am.
Truly sorry about your situation, BC -- hope things get resolved for you relatively soon.

In other news, Folder is a twat.

Yea, my friend told me she was chatting with some of you. She thought, "hey, Adam talks about GAF all the time. Let's write "GAF ROCKS" or something. Wish I could have met you guys, but I only saw fugimax, who sat right behind me. She mentioned you guys were pretty funny.

It's pretty simple what happened. Rob couldn't make it on Monday night due to a Nintendo prior engagement, and "Folder", instead of turning up by himself and shouldering the responsibility/drinks bill, didn't bother to go at all. Bit harsh on you guys I reckon - sorry on behalf of Nintendo!!

So is rob going to cover the bill?Gaybrush Threepio said:

I don't think it should be Rob's responsibility since it seems Folder knew that Rob wouldn't be turning up either. He should have just posted a message or let someone know that the party was off and that was that. Instead he decided to be the dipshit he always is. Rob's not at fault here, he didn't organize it, Folder did.

Folder was the one who set this up and hyped it on GAF for days, so when it fell through, responsibility fell on his shoulders.
He may not feel he owes us an apology (and he might not, for all I know), but he sure as hell owes everyone an explanation.

PS. Does you nickname confirm what they say about Tingle?
How does 'Rob' turning up affect whether he pays for it? Is it only a Nintendo-sponsored affair if he gets to go?
If Folder organised it, and got the OK from Rob that Nintendo would pay, then Folder just turns up, pays and gets Rob to cover it later.
Maybe Folder did turn up to tell everyone it was off, saw everyone drinking merrily and legged it.

BuddyC: "You were supposed to show up and cover the tab!"
Folder: "Slipped my mind. Tell you what I'll do. Tomorrow, we'll have a GAF meetup at the same bar. I'll pay for the tab. I'll lend you my movies. And you'll hear news about a new Game Boy that's more powerful than a thousand suns."

Except for when he ducked out and stuck his head in the Cabo at 10:30, right?Teddman said:
