Eagle, I really don't care about your ideas, but I do want to avoid being slandered.
Joining a game is not accepting a bet. As a kid, I played pool with my brother in my basement hundreds of times. Sometimes I owned all of his possessions, at other times I only owned the shirt on my back. Before games, we made bets and we agreed to them. Sometimes we didn't agree and still played. Such games were for fun only. In Beijing I started a company. I often met with businessmen to discuss the signing of contracts. We sat down together for meals. We didn't always sign the contract. The meal itself was not equivalent to signing the contract. *I bet you. You didn't agree to the bet before the game started. We played for fun. Now you are agreeing to the bet after the game ended. Two others in that game joined AFTER declining the bet.*
Stating that I beat you before was to show that beating you is not worth bragging about.
I wish Fizzer could add a blacklist feature for the forum so the words of any blacklisted player cannot be read. This would solve so many problems. If you don't like me, blacklist me. If I don't like you, I'll blacklist you. The negativity would be reduced instantly and there would be fewer responses to attacks, thus nipping many fights in the bud.

It was a stupid bet, and a stupid game. WHy are you so concerned with what others say about you? ANd to get off topic, and talk about the company in Beijing you started, I assume it was all by your lonesome? Interesting that you were able to pull that off and be (I assume) succcessful, as it is quite a tough thing for a LaoWai to accomplish without a Chinese name on the contract. Not impossible, of course.

Tex, if I attacked you for no reason and started making incorrect assumptions about your games, your personal life, and/or your person, would you respond? (Remember, it is all anonymous. Only Fizzer knows who we really are. lol)
In Beijing: I had guanxi. But the "little prince" wanted to break tax laws and keep our business as an extralegal (to him, illegal to me) entity. So I left. Maybe it's somewhat similar in Taiwan: my wife and I recently bought a house, but, since I refuse to get a spousal visa, only my wife's name can be on the contract.

Dude, I really could care less what people I don't know say about me on the internet. Although I would like to point out that while I don't some of the things you do (in terms of the forum), I try to stay away from some of the petty, juvenile attacks on your sexuality, etc. I really didn't understand some of the vitriol I have directed at you, until the thread about WLer's ages came up.
And yeah, business-wise, it's really really difficult to stand alone, without any Chinese assistance. Essentially, any business you want to start up is undoubtedly going to compete with a Chinese with more guangxi than you, a mere foreigner. They are a great people, but I try not to get between a Chinaman and his money, nothing good can come of it.

Are you one of the business owners in Yangshuo? I think one of you mentioned there's a climbing business for tourists, a cafe?, a bar?, an English teacher, maybe something else...

Not a business owner, merely a lowly English teacher. I don't really have the entrepenurial spirit. There a few (very few) foreign-owned businesses, but most of them don't last long, and most of them have some sort of Chinese co-owner or silent partner. Place is fickle, bro. In my short time here I have seen enough businesses fail that I don't really want a part of it. If I was in a big city, and felt like spending the money, I might try opening a restaurant, but I really doubt I could get the ingredients I need for such Texas cuisine as I know how to make, although some of the other YS boys could attest to the fact that I make a mean chili (Texas red, NO beans, naturally).

[20]BishesUpInErr - I was only joking, I have no problem with Gui at all and he is an excellent 1v1 player as are you.
Gui - Keep up the good work with X and 20, and feel free to invite me to any games or tournaments, my boot rate doesn't actually reflect how I play now =P
Eagle - If you don't want Gui on your clan forum, please stop posting on his.
Arun - Please check your facts before posting, it shortens what I have to read =)
TexasJohn - sounds like living in China is tough.

Vape, you couldn't be more wrong. It's different, to be sure, but once you get used to it, the life here is much simpler.
