It's time I take my leave.

[NJD2003]

Well it's been a long time. Almost 2 years i've waited for Half-Life 2, almost all that time i've been here. Things happen, plans change, and I found myself without a computer to play Half-Life 2 and with a new look on my little time I have left here on earth. Those times that I spent in treatement, just thinking about playing Half-Life 2, it's really what got me through it. Months pass, my cancer goes into remission. I'm all set, good health and a great computer. Then the worst day in my life happens, I find out that the cancer has come back and that I will not likely live past Christmas, to try and live longer I sell my computer to help pay for a specialist. He tels me the same thing my doctor's here told me. So I sit here without a computer to play Half-Life 2 and without time left to save up any money my parents can scrounge up. I e-mail VALVe, others from here do the same, but it falls on dead ears. Without any proof to show the mods here of my cancer, we cannot set up any kind of fundraiser. My last chance snatched away by not having access to a scanner or digital camera. I guess it was never meant to be. So I take my leave, those who I have made friends with I will miss, those who I have never met i'm sorry.

Ok, bye.

Sorry for sounding like an ass, but something like this happend once.Remember?

 

[joule]

See ya'! Enjoy Half-Life 2 and life thereafter.

halflife 2 was announced only a year ago.

 

[evil^milk]

you'll be in my prayers, true or not

 

[Ames]

;( I wish you good fortune and the best of luck.

P.S. If you have been lying for these past few months... :flame:

 

[ailevation]

I hope you get better, Half Life 2 and a new PC is not the thing to worry about when your speculated time to live in somewhere Christmas. Freak the game honestly, so much more things you could do to experience in life dude. But, if the game really means THAT much to you then, I hope you get what you want. I'm only 16, I can hardly do anything... besides I have little trust for people I encounter online, especially the ones I don't know. So sorry, but if you do have this disease, best of luck to get well and best of luck to your wishes.

i am sorry that pple here (myself included) feel a bit skeptical especially after the shit that (whats his name?) pulled about being in some car accident when infact he really wasn't in one in reality.

if everyone here donated one dollar to help u get a decent computer put together, it would be nice...but like i said, after that incident, things like this have soured.

i wish there was a way to help u out (if really ur in this situation) but i dunno.. i don't have any idea on that.

Is this guy really genuine??

Do i detect a lack in confidence?

 

[johnnypoopoopant]

hey you guys remeber that kid that posted here saying he had cancer and sold his computer for his medical bills so he cannot play half life 2....

wonder what happened to that kid ??

:hmph: Huh? Are you bein' serious or what? Because the topic starter of this thread IS that kid.

 

[The Dark Elf]

Oh puh-lease

 

[The Dark Elf]

Heh apparantly he was in IRC once begging people to contact mods saying they knew him and that they knew he had cancer.

All the while trying to get this fundraising thing setup

And keeps going on about needing a new computer



*opened so you can all tell him what you think of people like that*

 

[destrukt]

what's it with people and feigning cancer, this is the 3rd time i've seen someon do it on a forum :X

 

[Neutrino]

So do we know for sure he doesn't have cancer?

Because if it's true I would hate to be wrong.

But if it's not, that is really, really low.

Lots of stuff coming out about how he's acted on IRC.. More and more seeming like some scam for a new computer.

I reopened the thread so everyone could get a chance to have their say.

I hate people who **** with my emotions. If somebody pulls a cancer scam to make me feel pity, then they better expect a serious ass beating if I ever got my hands on them.

OH flame him you say?Mmmmmk....

Bastard get a damn job so you can get a damn computer...and stop trying to scam people.

Well since pulling stunts like this piss me off no end... Lets just say I'll probably turn a blind eye to what people say to him in this thread.

 

[The Dark Elf]

When asked on IRC what type of cancer he had, he avoided answering (you'd think something like that would be burned into your mind after all that time)

And wouldn't the parent(s) go to much greater lengths to get the money together before he was forced to sell his computer

And I'm no expert on the cost of specialists.. but don't they cost waaay more than a second hand computer could afford?

How many computers are you going to sell?

Great thread btw.. Stuff you've stolen

 

[johnnypoopoopant]

i sorta thought it was a scam when he firsted posted, but had second thoughts about what if he was really telling the truth....dam cons

It's a hard one.. either you don't believe him and risk being seen as a horrible person, or you believe him and risk getting taken in by it if its a big fat lie.

I've just woken up though so I dont care what people think of me for clearly not believing it. If it turns out he's telling the truth (unlikely) then just say you were doing what I did and nobody will hate you for it then, they'll just hate me, and I dont' care about that

 

[Neutrino]

My last chance snatched away by not having access to a scanner or digital camera.

Libraries usually have scanners.

I know what you mean. Just on the off chance it was true I want to be careful.

Though I really doubt it now.

 

[oldagerocker]

If its a scam, i'll be mighty pissed off.
If it isn't a scam, get well soon

 

[The Dark Elf]

well odds are if its real he wont be back after christmas

and if its fake, he wont be back neither

So whichever is true, he ain't coming back.

 

[we11er]

lol what a loser, if he's lying. What's the friggin point? He obviousl has no life at all - probably raped daily by his father.

(sorry if you're genuine, and **** off and leave us all alone if you're not)

 

[maxblack]

post proof, eg Doctors name and hospital, a scan of your chart etc, otherwise

F...K OFF YOU TOOL!








ps. get well soon

 

[Mint_Sauce]

Why not look at the guys IP address. If it's the same IP as when he had his computer then he's most likely lying, if not then it means he must be using another PC which means his story about selling it could be true.

 

[Bad^Hat]

probably raped daily by his father.

Got tact?

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

IP addresses aren't tied to a specific computer. That wouldn't actually show anything at all.

 

[h00dlum]

Sad if its true but if not...its reallly low..

 

[Bad^Hat]

Sad if its true but if not...its reallly low..

You could have just quoted someone for emphasis... take your pick.

 

[mrxskinny]

Just play the game at one of those ATI or Valve thingy sponsored PC Cafes.

 

[CrazyHarij]

Christ.. Man, if he's scamming.. I don't know what to think. I've been chatting with him on and off since the start of summer, been kinda suspicious from time to time but I can't believe he'd still go on with this if he's scamming.

Well, if the cancer is true after all NJD, I feel very, very sad for you.

If it's fake, I feel very, very sad for you. :|

 

[Burn]

So he has (If its true) less then 8 weeks to live, what he wants to do in that time is to buy a new computer and play hl2? Not like.. spend that money on his family or anything?

I smell scam, and it smells like old socks dunked in vinager.

 

[LAYP]

How can you live with yourself by lying like this?

If you aren't lying, well then you don't have to live now do you!

 

[Ecthe|ioN]

This is just sad. Even if it's true or not, it's just sad. The story that is presented before us, lacks confidence IMO. How much treatment would you get for a computer ? I just started laughing the second time I looked through it. This can't possibly be true.

Get a life instead of lying on such a serious matter.

If I'm wrong I hope you get well soon, but this story just seems so unlikely to have occured.

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

TDE, When I was in IRC he would always come into IRC saying he had cancer and all the stuff, but then asked what kind he would ignore me. I truely think its bullshit myself, he "supposedly" was to die last year, but all of a sudden lives? yeah....
