Ok, I'm done with this now.
I don't think Nola is a bad guy necessarily and if he had come clean that he embellished things a little bit (or a great deal), then it wouldn't have been necessary. The only reason I got into this is because I saw some signs of a megalomaniac manipulating naive people. That's not cool.
I don't think I'm wrong, but if proof emerges of these feats, then obviously that's that and the forum will redeem Nola and punishment for my wrongful witch hunt can be meted out.
You've never met anyone on the forum. That's an issue. Why is it that you never have? Right now you're an internet sleuth, nothing more. You've never addressed why that is. I'd like you to prove you are credible. You spit great detective game on the forum, but it's just gonna be another internet victory that you can add to your anonymous internet forum persona. Congrats on that.
I'm meeting Nola today, I doubt that matters to you, but for what it's worth at least he's making the effort to meet and game in person.
I have justified reason to believe most, if not all of his claims are truthful. You never addressed that. You ignored my point that I saw him in one of the videos. Whatever, you don't feel like engaging.
There was a pretty famous thread where members called out a another member for not being able to afford a porsche. And then they bitched, and bitched and bitched, and demanded proof. A bit gay if you ask me... Turns out he had a porsche.
Here's the real problem: I'm pretty sure most if not all people on the forum are exaggerating their gaming success, and, omitting most, if not all of their failures. Do they ever get called out? No, not really. Then someone like me comes along, and people bitch at me about my failures even though I am clearly improving, and giving them the unvarnished truth about my game. Instead members get jealous and call people out on their careers, or helpful career info they drop publicly for everyone's benefits.
Most people are normal, so yeah, some of this stuff is going to sound implausible to them, also, there are a lot of people in basements that are never going to leave the US or their comfortable home in the West to game, work, or start a new life. But I assure you, there are high achievers on the forum (I've met at least a few in person, and they really had their shit together, really successful careers and really fucking advanced long term gaming strategies that would blow your mind) and out in the real world that would never be near an office job, and have a spectacular set of skills. it's a natural thing, you either have it or you don't.
