I am using someone's help with this post because I can't speak or write properly.
I will try to piece this together the best I can.
I know that nobody really cares about my health, so I won't bore you with the full details.
just want to say that I a had mini stroke while away and a mild stroke when I get back.


again I know nobody cares, but I just want some to understand a little.
because it's not like I'm sitting around with a cold or flu with my feet up.


Communication was at a minimum because of the above.



I've heard I'm being criticized by some that I only addressed the troll that posted something about me that wasn't true on the forum.
The only reason why that was addressed at the time is because it's the first thing i remember
and i wanted to get my say on the subject.


I know the people in the contest don't want to hear that, but that's the what and why it was the first and only thing posted at the time.
I had plans to address the contest winners and payments, but then I had a second attack which got me admitted to the hospital.


while I was in icu, I had no phone or computer. thus the no communication
at all.
Doctors told us that I should have no stress ,plus I was incapable of using these anyway.


Down to the point of this post.
****** payments for the contest were started before I left for my first part of my vacation. I had thought I would have a 2 day window in between stops to continue making some more payments. But I ran out of time because something came up.


most posters who have played in past years know that while out of the country I will not use ****** because a couple of years ago I was hacked and lost a lot of money and had to take it out of my own pocket to finish paying winners.
I also made a post about this before I left, which I do each year.
I have ran or helped run these contests for about 7 or 8 years. I have never not paid and I don't have any plans to start now.


You don't have to believe me, and you can call me whatever you want.
also thanks for the death wishes by some
I've seen this done to others, just never thought I would be put in the same position.


treated like a anonymous poster. like I'm some guy hiding behind a computer, never to be seen by anyone.


I'm going to try to explain this as best as I can.
these are the reasons that I have not finished making payments.
I collect the payments through ****** mostly, some pay by money order
the money is then taken out of ****** and the cash is put in a safe deposit box
at the end of the contest, after a week or so I put the money into a bank account and then winners are paid through ****** and a couple by money order. The whole process takes about 3-4 weeks without any worries of the funds being frozen or sending any red flags to ******.
My plan was to come back from vacation and do exactly that as I have done in the past years, every year for 7-8 years without any major problems.
But I have been sidetracked by my health issues and can't get to my box.

I am not a anonymous poster, I've been around for over 10 years and have met hundreds of people,
some even know me personally.


I'm not looking for anyone to vouch for me or back me up. I don't want the same things said about you as they have been about me.


I'm sure the trolls will be out in force, which is what they do best. So they can blast me all they want, I wouldn't expect anything less.


Once I am healthy enough, after rehab , and can get to the bank, everyone will be paid
even the guy that wished me dead.


When the time comes, I will copy these payouts to keep as proof that they have been made.
I hope this post makes some sense
Again I apologize for this, but it wasn't my plan to get sick

Get well.
Just a heads up to the people owed money, if I'm reading this correctly rehab can take months and sometimes years.

If hes incapacitated he can use power of attorney to have someone take care of it. I'd say the guys who are owed money shouldn't worry

In all fairness BAS, only a select 1-2 posters were critical about your health. A majority of long time posters here either reserved judgement regarding the situation or wished you a speedy recovery.

BAS, Thanks for the update and sorry for the health issues, you are having. I wish you a speedy recovery.

I will say you are a bit out of line, with the wish me dead. Get the fuck out of town man, no one once wished you death or even mocked it, some of us may have made assumptions, Gambling, etc which should be apologized for and forgiven but death, come on man.

Human nature for some of us to feel the way we did, I personally have never dealt with you before, so I may have jumped the gun and I apologize.

Whenever I receive payment, I will leave the forum like promised.

Take care of yourself BAS; health is priority #1.

A lot of really sad, desperate, cold-hearted people at this site. But most of us know you're going to pay these guys.
