So i got matched up with Call of Duty World At War for the PS3

yipee

Turns out this is a new guy who thinks we are swapping games. So messed up. So i put in a request to cancel. Takes him about 1-2 days to accept.

I'm thinking i'm first and ready for the next available game.

Matched with this same dude again.

I guess I need to just wait for them to timeout 2-3 times so then the system will force their copy of CoD into Hold status?

Annoying!

So what happens if this noob accepts my request again with no intention to send? I'm out another like 20 days? AAAARRRR

See what Goozex thinks, but before that message the guy and let him know this isn't a trade site....

Provide the user with the FAQ and How it works.  Maybe they have Goozex confused with the trash that is SaySwap.

You should also let the new user know that unlike Sayswap points are extreamly usefull here. I have 50 points at Sayswap that no one will take in exchange for any game on my wanted list.

His first message to me was "your not going to scam me are you?"

hahaha

So i replied with the usual info and showed my profile. In the end he goes, something like "how about you send first as I broke my foot and I don't want to have to get my mom to drive 200 miles to my house to mail a package for me that is a scam"

I was dying laughing.

One. what game were we switching and what part of the "You send me the game I check it out and you get points" did he not understand?

Hilarious!

So in the end he did actually finally listen and he canceled the request but he didn't take his game down so I got matched again with him. arrr

I think it's time we reinstate natural selection into the child raising process. As the late great George Carlin said "the kid who eats too many marbles doesn't grow up to have kids of his own."

They could just reinstate the manditory IQ testing as part of the internets entrance exam.

Cartman.  One of the funniest/grossest scences in South Park history, IMO.

well, goozex took care of it pretty quick. I wanted to make sure I had the first game of COD.

There is still one available as he has still hasn't taken his offer down. I wonder if his "fake" copy of CoD is making the rounds to the 2nd,3rd... people in line

well, got matched again for CoD: WaW and again with a new user. What are the chances they will have read the FAQ? Being first in line is a tease
