This is the Real World where mistakes count as Lessons. Shame you didn't send me some of your stuff as I would post a pic & laugh in your face about now just to teach you the lesson you need.
Giving your stuff away deserves Punishment, Everybody told you at the time but No you knew better, Now pay the price & learn the lesson I say.

good to see you back paul, stick around

I realise these people are under no obligation to give the stuff back, but I hope they do

Schizo · 25 May 2009 at 09:49

if they dont give them back we will send the boy's round to pick the item's up personally.

hope you learned by your mistake dude.

we all do silly thing's when we are in a dark place.

i remember when i split up from my ex and i got a 2nd hand company round and i sold everything in the flat and moved out.

kinda regret it now but hey !

we all move on in this world.

Good to see you back and sorted out.

I hope that the people that received stuff from you in the have the kindness and decency to return it.

I think it was wrong for people to accept them in the first place, he was clearly going through a rough patch, and many people took advantage of it.

Yeah those comapnies and shops like cash convertors love messed up people. Scumbags.

To snipergecko I remember your ps3 giveaway thread and was going to tell you to go see your gp and if you were going to get rid of anything make it all sharp objects. I would write off your games btw, put it down to experience.

Andybtsn · 25 May 2009 at 10:08

I've emailed you regarding the game, Paul.

Is this a joke? Sorry to hear about your problems but asking for them items back isn't on and is verging on cheeky.

It was your decision to give them away, it's not fair to waste peoples time like this. As the guy above said, write them off and replace them items you genuinely miss. None of the items are particularly high value or hard to get hold of.

Sorry mate, but I have to agree entirely with this. You've given those things away with no obligation, now I imagine anyone who doesn't give you your stuff back will be labelled an arse.

I was going to send heavenly sword once I'd played it anyway so happy to return it. Will fire you an email, just let me know your addy.

Thesnipergecko · 25 May 2009 at 15:11

To all people who know me on a more personal level, I thank you for your support, to all the other trolls I just hope you never have any down time in your life.

I have removed the names of the members from the opening post. If people want to send stuff back then great, if they don't I won't lose sleep over it.

cheets64 · 25 May 2009 at 15:38

I didn't know you had sent them, did you send your PS3 as well.

Trolls? I don't think so. I just think what you did was rash and not thought through properly. You can't give things away to people and then ask for it back. You can sugar coat it however you want, making people feel guilty isn't on at all.

Don't post a public thread if you don't like hearing things you don't want to. I can't believe you didn't expect some stick, this thread is ridiculous

YA THINK, The guy was going through hard times, he has friends here, this is OCUK, I like to think we're a close community and I'd like to think everybody who took his offers up would happily return them. I don't see where the rediculousness is, its a thread asking for something completely acceptable.

Streeteh · 25 May 2009 at 16:06

It was a rash decision certainly, but you'll probably find most rash decisions are made during a moment of emotional instability.

He's removed the names, he's said he won't chase those who don't post the games back. As it stands now all he is doing is asking for people to return them if they want; a perfectly acceptable request imo.

Surfer · 25 May 2009 at 16:10

Would have made more sense to send out a msg on his PSN/XBL friends list then? (offering the games and whatnot via that) instead of the forums tbh.

But in saying that - prolly should return em i mean heavenly sword and Killzone 2 are quick to complete. So easy enuff to complete and send back to him - job done.

But what happened to the PS3?

http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13788975&postcount=1

Had a quick look at his numerous giveaway threads and also the thread mcwildcard created when there was concern about TSGs state of mind.

People should return the stuff but imo TSG owes them an apology as well. (yeah i checked the op to see if there was one - nope)

Everyone goes through hard times at some point, most people don't give their stuff away :confused:

The fact is he must have most peoples deatails via email as no doubt they would have needed to send their postal address. Therefore this thread was pointless and opened him for a hard time.

Blimey I hope you never have friends that are going through hard times.

Giving your stuff away deserves punishment?? what a crock. so everyone that donates money to charity or drops a £1 coin in a tramps hands deserves a slap?

At the time he obviously felt that this is what he wanted to do, and has since changed his mind.

I agree that it was a daft thing to do, and that it is wrong to ask for it back but you just sound like you take pleasure in being spiteful.

norm · 25 May 2009 at 17:17

I find this thread hard to believe.

Who has the presence of mind whilst under a state of depression to list items on a forum, package them up, and drop them off at a post office.

Now you want them back? Are you going to be refunding people the cost of their postage?
