Can I be honest with you, Greg?

Greg_ValveOLS says:
k

br0kenrabbit says:
Look, I don’t know how you go this MSN account name, don’t really care, either.

br0kenrabbit says:
Unlike you, I DO work for Valve. Trace my ip and you’ll see.

Greg_ValveOLS says:
huh?

Greg_ValveOLS says:
bs

br0kenrabbit says:
Trace it.

Greg_ValveOLS says:
how

br0kenrabbit says:
Start/run/cmd type Tracert and then my IP address and hit enter.

Greg_ValveOLS says:
oh k

br0kenrabbit says:
As an employee, I know that Valve employees will NEVER contact users over MSN. I also know a valve employee will NEVER ask a user for his/her username and password.

br0kenrabbit says:
I’m putting a temporary hold on your Steam account.

Greg_ValveOLS says:
why?

Keep reading for the surprise twist!

    That’s classic.

    Nice I just spit coffee on my keyboard, even though I suspected what was coming. Heh, are MMOG employees really supposed to take such public enjoyment in the blatant violation of general TOS guidelines? The thin MMO line and all that.

    Funniest fucking thing I’ve read all day.

    Love that thing…funny as hell :)

    And NEITHER of them were Valve employees.

  • Nicademus

    Was refering to our host, and only jokingly, man I just reread that. Classic indeed.

    There really is a God.

    Next time please post a beverage warning.

    The last line is an instant classic.

    You can never con an Honest John, as it’s been said.

  • Evangolis

    That was, of course, wrong, immoral; two wrongs do not make a right.

    But they do make me bust a gut laughing.

  • Freakazoid

    “two wrongs do not make a right.”

    True, but the guy gave the kid his account back. Hopefully the kid isn’t too stupid to do that again, because the next guy to turn the scam around against him might not be so nice.

    That’s classic stuff.
    “dude just give
    my acount back pllllleeease i’m only 13 and save d up for like a year to buy it”

    I love those excuses.

  • Nicademus

    He gave the account back? Damn, that makes the story much less satisfying. Though I guess not doing so would be a good way to bring the REAL Valve admin folks down on your head.

    i was just making a joke but not cerious honest dude

    I weep for the English language but I do so love a good pwning.

  • KEtCHUP

    OMG he brought back biznatchio.

    Should have changed the name to cpt_ebolter

  • http://www.rjoworld.com RJO

    Oh.. wow.

  • Big Gulp

    I wouldn’t have given it back until he could ask me nicely without butchering the English language.

    So I guess what I’m saying is that I wouldn’t have given it back.

  • Gunblade

    I can not help but wonder if this was fake…
