Legal Advice

Back in the Skill Quest days, because I absolutely hammered the whole of London long before anyone else, I got barred by the evil blonde bitch, Barbara. Because I had so many locations to do, I had to get around as many as possible and the inevitable 'bumping into' her happened. It all went wrong when I went to what was basically her home, Ealing Broadway and a ticket for £866 wouldn't print out! Due to paper!!!

After a while, when she had spotted me in a few Agoras, she had a poster of me made up in which I was lovely and slim and looked pretty damned cool in an Armani top. But the thing is, what had I done? The game was CALLED Skill Roulette for fuck's sake! I never did anything other than hit the skill!

I sought advice at the time from a solicitor who told me I could take them to court for this poster which they had put up in some shops and had hidden away in folders in others because it stated I was barred for... I can't even remember the actual words but something like obtaining plays by fraud or something. The solicitor told me I would definitely win the case but that it'd cost me a few grand and I might make 1 or 2 grand profit out of it! I didn't bother!

Now that Agora is no more, I know some of the old staff work in some shops but most people didn't have a problem with me. I still get hell and am not allowed to play in the Ealing Broadway one but, until yesterday, I hadn't even seen this poster of ages! I went into a shop where I had done the Skill Roulette for years and never been barred... and guess what? I was told I was not allowed to play there! I was shown a black and white photocopy of the poster!

I really feel this is wrong, the game was skill, I did nothing untoward and yet I am treated like a criminal over it! Due to their idiotic lack of understanding! Can someone advise me on what to do? Is it worth sending a letter or email to the new people in charge?

Just be glad that someone, somewhere, considers you a winner.

Are they not considering him a fraud or a theif? Staff in these places think its impossible to win unless your up to something.

I expect it would hinge on them admitting they think your a fraudster and admitting they act accordingly. I can't see any company being stupid enough to do that if a lawyer comes knocking.

Sucks tho.

Mind you, chasing the individual who made + circulated it might get somewhere, again if to can prove they did it, as they won't admit it.

Considering him a fraud or a thief is a damn site more flattering than what he deserves.

Day off today is it Will?

Will, I just hope you are as forthcoming with your comments in person so I have a good reason to put your head through a machine when I bump into you one day.

I was thinking that, he comes and goes.

I don't really tend to go into bookies, so I doubt we'll bump into one another. However, if you're spoiling for a scrap I'm not too hard to find: what you might find more difficult is the bus fare to the West Midlands!

Make sure you bring a wallet full of cash then! I'll gladly take it off you!

Yeah that sounds about right. You obviously realised a while ago that it's easier to steal money off people than try and earn it.

Yes yes I really STOLE money from your sick headed user mentor, didn't I?

I guess you must be a very User-friendly person, eh?

Why don't you two meet up and sort it out like men.....rather than bitching on here.

And sell tickets to fruit chat users

Let's just say that if this fool doesn't shut up I am going to post some rather amusing revelations about his friend on who's behalf he is obviously having a pop at me... so do carry on Will, I dare you - and I dare him too!

Those of you who don't get this, its Will being used for his Fruitchat account by his mentor who has obviously gone a little loopy.
