The "alot" of water they use is incredibly insignificant when looking at the bigger picture, as I've already shown.
California uses predominantly vertical wells that use less water than typical fracking wells.
To amount to even 1% of the total water use in California last year, their water usage would have to be literally about 2500 times MORE than what is believed to be true.
...


while i agree that the total water usage for fracking in california seems to be a small percentage, let me make two comments:
1. your forbes site uses the oil industry way of calculating water usage for fracking which is known to be only 1/10 to 1/2 of what is actually used (still a tiny percentage as said)
2. the chemicals used in fracking are a far bigger problem, if they enter the water table even small amounts can make a huge reservoir unusable
but you are allowed to believe in the oil industry propaganda that all fracking operations are safe

I'm in the habbit of following those 3 words.
Just cause it says, "Theres no scamming in LS" and you know you scammed, oh stole, BM'd someone, you hide behind the boogeyman aspect.
Everyone in the LS community knows about you.

You dissrespect and steal (stole) and now that I'm calling you out in another thread. I'm dissrespecting you? Oh why? Cause you never did anything to me personaly means I need to respect such a thief? Makes sense.
I'm a very forgiving person. And when this whole thing unravelled, you didn't even defend yourself or say sorry, nothing. You just left guild, went afk, etc.

So ya... I'm wrong, you're right.
You win, I lose.

Best of luck with your way of thinking :)


I didn't steal anything and you have no business harassing me and claiming I did scam, in a random thread. That is what is "BM".

Did you inquire into the facts of the situation? No. Did you ask me what happened? No.
Instead you took someone else's lies at face value and called me a scammer and a thief, unprovoked, with no evidence, in an entirely different section of the forum.
That is not conducive with honor or respect at all.

Now what actually happened is we were doing a climb. After hours we reached level 69, as you know its just 2 levels away from the finish.
We ran into a well and I was explicitly asked if I agreed to give other people the drops. I did not agree. I wanted to finish the run and be done. They didn't care and threw their stuff in the well anyways.
A very good item dropped and I instinctively clicked it. The game rolled the item to me as the rightful owner.
Its physically impossible to "steal" a free-for-all drop that was never owned by anyone else.

He became outraged and upset and ran to the main section to post a cry thread accusing me of being a 'scammer'. His buddy claimed I agreed to the terms of giving him all the drops, which was flatly a lie that I immediately called him out on and asked for a s/s.
A screenshot that corroborated his story was never provided because his story was a lie.
There were multiple regulars who openly agreed it was not a scam and more PM'd me with words of encouragement.

I did defend myself. Within minutes of someone posting a thread I had two posts defending myself, and explained it to several people via PM and several more when they spammed my threads.
I also did not 'just leave the guild and go afk'. I was kicked as soon as my guild leader heard about the situation and he never attempted to discuss it with me until after the fact. (he's now locked for breaking serious actual rules)

Now why would I want to continue playing a dead game where several of the remaining players ignorantly and maliciously harass me and spam my threads for picking up a drop in a game?
During my years playing LS I was almost always kind and respectful and good mannered to everyone I came across there, yourself included. Then one incident happens and several prominent members turn on you in an instant without even listening to what you have to say. It says a lot about their character.
I moved on and found a better use for my time. Enjoying life with better people.

As you already mentioned you know there is no scamming in LS, yet you feel the need to call me a scammer anyways..
Oh I "BM'd" someone? Not following an unwritten courtesy that some other players follow, after not agreeing to it when asked is hardly BM and its certainly not a scam.
You actually BM'd someone. How would you like it if someone followed you around and called you a scammer for allegedly BM'ing someone 3 years ago? I bet you wouldn't like it one bit.

P.S. notice how my fg is usable, and the accuser's is locked.

Note to other readers: Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. i'd like to keep my spam in here to a minimum after this.
Also keep in mind this incident happened 3 years ago

Now i'd like to go forward in a civil manner and put the issue behind me.

A scammer on a game... well if he was 15 when started and now 21 or more ... or even 20 now 22 ...Sht happens I forgave everyone who scamed me on this game... no big deal and would not think of it as a lowing of education just a mistake, or maybe misguided revenge ...

He could be right ..But yeah they lie first, tell the truth when they get caught only... Then they say woops we did not know, or they fire someone.. how is that a conspiracy? Haha he thinks they all tell truth ? They all lie dude trust me it is common sense, not conspiracy

I find it interesting that the state with the most debt is also the state with the worst drought.

I would like to see a chart that shows debt and drought ratios in US states I wouldn't be amazed if some type of correlation existed.
