Like I keep telling you clowns, it's not my story. I am simply repeating what was told to me. You guys fully fall under mob mentality, hahaha guess this would make me much smarter than most here since you all have nothing to back your story, nor do I, but you clowns huh you clowns are really in a league all your own :-) Stupidity runs deep here because even the title of the thread suggest a question or did we loose sight of that too...let me see ...yup sure did when one fool turns the key on the band wagon every one jumps on. I was not the one who fired the first shot here unless trying to find the truth of the matter is an attack? O digging deeper and finding something that no one would believe anyhow. You may have had friends that worked there but NEC is a pretty large company and no one person other then the CEO or his guys might know whats going on in all aspects of the company. Once the flood gates open I guess ignorance flows free here. Sad sad day in the turbo collectors world.
You want a
serious answer? Ok.
1) People try to pass off fakes and unique rare items
ALL the time; it's not exclusive to retro gaming.
2) There is a LOT of collective knowledge here at PCFX, and so if something isn't a known fact or even known rumor - then that's pretty rare. Not that it
can't happen, but it is rare.
3) So you have two things working against you: you have no credibility to this claim of yours, nor have you taken an objective and highly detailed review of your Duo 'special case'. You seem to be content with simply looking at it.
4) You come back with an attempt to add credibility by paraphrasing an
anonymous employee who refuses to come forward. How can you not see that has the complete
opposite effect of credibility? Not only that, but the coincidence of you just
happening to find this employee after you were challenged on the credibility of some rumor that no one heard of. That's pretty suspect right there.
5) The retro gaming community has many examples of people simply trying to trick the general retro gaming public - for amusement.
So there you go. Assuming you're innocent in all of this, then you're ignorant of why people would be skeptical. But it doesn't feel like that at all. You presented a fact
disguised as question, and then proceeded to
defended it, even coming back with a highly questionable source, who can't be confirmed, to qualify some rumor no one has heard before and your claim. And you wonder why the forum has reacted the way it has? And you even shift the blame to a forum mob mentality. Anyone with reasonable intelligence would understand this, regardless of what side you fall on (being the burden of proof, or being the audience to be persuaded).
I'm sorry, but the burden of proof is on you. Until then, this wreaks of a scam or joke. And with that, we take it as an insult that you think we're
stupid enough to believe what you've presented. Thanks for that..
Not only have you failed to persuade the forum members, but the result is now your own general credibility has taken a hit. Congratulations.
