Dear PGI,

Let me start by informing you that I like the xmas items, I like them very much. I will not however be buying them.

No I am not the space poor,
Posted Image
That’s about $8000 worth of stuff that serves no purpose other than making me happy, I have a second computer for business, I have many MANY other guns that can easily do what those do in terms of security and hunting, that’s simply the stuff I buy to have fun.

Here is the problem, see those xmas lights? They cost me 6.48 USD, and they work in all my mechs without moving them around, In fact they work in every game I play. That money would have been in your pocked along with the 40 USD I spent on clay pigeons and shotgun shells instead of MC. You tried to charge for an item that exists IRL and you charged a comparable price; More actually than it costs IRL I could have got other lights for 2.50USD but I liked these better.
Please correct your CRI so I can start spending my money on your game.

Sincerely,
Franchi BCMC (cat driver)

Where do you live?

No that's a MP15-22 a perfect example of my wasteful spending habits.

Space poor? How about space working class? Just because you make money off the backs of the labor of others doesn't make you special.

Nice lights, though your poor choice in guns needs to be addressed (massive scope on a 10/22? tacticool ars? a tapco stocked sks?).

Or what, he'll threaten us with his gaudy toy guns?

That's the only way PGI will pay attention to this thread anyway.

I resent that! Though it is true that the overhanging threat of being picked off as I leave work is, well, 'attention grabbing.'

I did spend the entire morning commenting on threads so I feel vindicated.

Also afraid.

I run a dairy, I am the sole employee of the dairy. I built it from the ground up, I started with 2 goats when I was in middle-school.

Thast a 30USD scope on the 10-22 Tacticool AR's? The ar has a 3-9 scope nothing else no lasers or flashlights on either of the ar types, no bayonet lugs no overblown stocks, As to the stock on the SKS, try it, if you still don't like it over the original stock (for shooting not display) you have problems I can't fix. If you want I can retake the picture with 12 bolt action rifles instead.

Envy of what?

We can own guns, the difference being, mine is in a locked case in my closet and only used at the range.

Kudos on the own business, it can be hard, and what you're doing is harder still. A relative owns a few hundred acres, so I've a little insight on that end of things.

I've felt the Tapco on a buddy's, and it felt like junk. I know 10 lbs hanging out in front sucks, but meh, I'll buy a SVD and an AK when I get over to slav stuff.

<3 bolt actions more, but don't be concerned about me, just light hearted trollan on the clock :)

Cheers!

Doh! They are paying attention, time to pack it up until I have something to whine about being OP/UP.
