what's up with that...they asked if I was from the U.S. (and I told them yes...then they said I had to hang up and chat via live chat...anyone with any info. on this?...

[rm18]

Don't know, maybe they don't have a good deal from the phone company, and the U.S costs a lot

I was going to say the same exact thing. rm18 you are
a cool dude man. You and I see eye to eye on alot
of things!!

[pags11]

I thought it's 'cause they were freaking out about this whole U.S. crackdown...have never been told I had to use the chat session before...anyone else with any thoughts on this?...

[imgv94]

email them, just to see what they say?

[imgv94]

Wow "dude" ... how do you ever get the weiner taste out of your mouth?

Pags, figure it out man ... you can do it ... you're almost there! What recent events, coupled with an outdated statute on the American books might cause some of these shops to cease telephone communications with US players? Hmmm?

Reading thru your posts it is quite obvious who's
ghost you are. Have fun, 13 posts 8 of them are
negative, hmm.

Who's ghost is he? Still think he's mine? $500 if you're right.

[tacomax]

Dearie me.

Let me know when you've got the proof (ask one of the SBR techies to check if need be) and I'll send you a cheque.

[pags11]

this family guy dickhead's definitely a ghost...still haven't got an official answer...what, is the justice dept. going to check their phone records or what?...

[imgv94]

It's so fvckin obvious it's Taco. They post at the same
time, have the same friends and enemies. So we are
suppose to think this guy who has 11 posts just came
out of nowhere to say negative shit to me?

There is no way to prove anyone on here, there is
such thing as an Anonymous Web Proxy program
also. I ain't tripping..

[tacomax]

You don't seem to realise that I've got better things to do with my time that to create duplicate aliases (like you have done at least 3 times).

Anway, I'll double the reward to $1000 for you. Contact the SBR techies and ask them, OK? I think they'll be able to give you the definitive answer. This is a free $1000, right?

[isetcap]

How does one become a respected poster? I used to have a lot of green squares. Does that count?

[pags11]

"realise" is spelled with a "z" by the way taco...

[isetcap]

Actually realize can appropriately be spelled "realise" although the former is more often used than the latter.

[Dark Horse]

realise is English, realize is American. I think.

Hahahha, you guys are joking right???

[pags11]

isetcap,

I've never seen realize spelled with an "s"...

[Doug]

I called as a test, acted like a new customer, phone worked fine, but guy said chat for stuff like talking about deposit methods.

[HAPPY BOY]

wow it's like I never left the forum Taco and Imgv still going at it! Awesome.

[pags11]

Doug, thanks...the guy kind of freaked out on me once he found out I was from "the states"...

[isetcap]

isetcap,

I've never seen realize spelled with an "s"...

Yeah, you don't see it often but I think as Dark Horse mentioned you are more likely to see it from individuals who are taught a more classic form of English. Recognize/recognise follows along the same lines. There are many more examples that can be applied.

[imgv94]

isetcap is perfect and has never made a mistake in his life.
I am serious...

[pags11]

a more classical form of english?...I'm an english major bro, and I've never seen realize spelled that way...classical or otherwise...I just googled it with that spelling too and the only thing I got to come up was some internet company...

[isetcap]

realise

v 1: earn on some commercial or business transaction; earn as salary or wages; "How much do you make a month in your new job?"; "She earns a lot in her new job"; "this merger brought in lots of money"; "He clears $5,000 each month" [syn: gain, take in, clear, make, earn, realize, pull in, bring in] 2: convert into cash; of goods and property [syn: realize] 3: expand or complete (a thorough-based part in a piece of baroque music) by supplying the harmonies indicated in the figured bass [syn: realize] 4: make real or concrete; give reality or substance to; "our ideas must be substantiated into actions" [syn: realize, actualize, actualise, substantiate] 5: be fully aware or cognizant of [syn: recognize, recognise, realize, agnize, agnise] 6: perceive (an idea or situation) mentally; "Now I see!"; "I just can't see your point"; "Does she realize how important this decision is?"; "I don't understand the idea" [syn: understand, realize, see]

[ourbet]

I read this too...on Dictionary.com (I believe) and WAS going to post but then thought to myself; isn't this just a little off post? What's this actually got to do with the thread about Mansion (SBR B+)??

I'm not an English major.

When I google "realise" I get about 52,500,000 results of which the below is just a miniscule but enlightening sampling:

[ourbet]

He's right pags. Google in the US spits-out 57.6 million search results while Google UK realises almost 60 million (59.9 million)!

[pags11]

hey ourbet,

what's the capital of thailand?...LMFAO...I always liked that joke...

isetcap,

maybe I need to ammend my statement to never having seen realize spelled with a "s" in any American media...most of these links you've given me have ties to British media...I imagine you may be from a different country, but I do believe tacomax is from America (which leads me to believe it was more of a typo)...

[isetcap]

I can't speak for Taco but I am from America, which probably is why I use the word realize as opposed to realise. I get the impression that Taco has some manner of UK background and that is where his spelling originates from. Now since the English invented English, who am I to say that 'realise' is an incorrect spelling of the word 'realize'?

You are correct in that the majority of sites that are listed use English as their primary language but I think that is the language we are discussing here. I will reiterate that the use of the 's' is a more classic approach to the language as opposed to the 'z' which is America's more contemporary approach.

In reviewing Taco's careful approach to his posting, I would definitely say his spelling of the word is intentional.

[pags11]

I agree isetcap...

[ourbet]

what's the capital of thailand?...LMFAO...I always liked that joke...

I’m glad you asked pags because it reminds of something funny I saw the very first time I flew into Bangkok. As you may (or may not) know Bangkok is pretty much hailed as the sex capital of the world. Whilst the Thai authorities try to distance themselves from their capital city being labelled as such, I swear to you that the very first thing I could read in English as the plane taxied to disembark (it was about 1:30am and dark), was an illuminated sign which read “WELCOME TO BANG OK”.

I knew I had arrived in Nirvana!

[pags11]

that's some funny stuff ourbet ...

English major? Jeez, standards are certainly slipping around here. Anyway, apology accepted, nice see you finally realise that you were wrong - let me know if you need any more help with your homework.
