I can’t speak for others, but when someone reconnects after a period of silence, it’s often due to feelings of guilt or uncertainty about how to explain their absence. I’m confident that Nanook will come through and deliver your chips. However, if for any reason that doesn’t happen, I’ll personally ensure you recover any losses. Rest assured, he’ll make things right.
Very similar when I didn’t log on for 32 hours. I had several texts asking if I was okay. I came back immediately and bought 2 sets in guilt.

also to everyone,
i'm not hating and i do believe people have had great experience with him. but the assurance of 'he's a good dude' doesn't do me much because i have yet to see that. ive only seen a huge interest in getting a service for me to purchase, then once it happened, little communication and reassurance.

Haha you’ve voiced your concern. It’s not right. We all have known Alan longer than you been on the site. Just give it a few more days. Read the room. We agree w you, but you’re not gonna hear what u want to hear. No one is going to motherfuck him.
Well said!

I was about to say December of 2025 but you overshot the target lol I get your frustration. It's not fun. Hopefully he beats my target date by a full year or so.
(I tried the below move once, ended up with way too much smoke in my lungs, took an impressive amount of coordination)

I can't get that damn word out of my head now, hahaha! Next time someone in my poker group hits their one or two outer on the river, I’m coming at 'em with, "just wait, man, I'm gonna motherfuck you!"
I mean. 20 bucks is 20 bucks.

He will. In my time here this has happened more than I can count on both hands (including with me) and is almost always solved positively in the end. The only one I can think of publicly that ended poorly was Popper (or puffin or puppin or something, can search).
So while frustrated, not much to do besides knowing it’ll be made right and waiting til then.
I think the one complaint that you can probably make is that you know for a fact that he now knows that you know (that he knows that you know that he knows) via another chipper but hasn’t logged on to post “hey sorry shits going on but I’ll get to everyone when possible”.

I don’t understand why PCF is being so nice in this instance. The guy can easily mail the chips back? I must be missing something?

Supply and demand. 2-3 guys used to have all the pitchforks, so when something happened they’d chum the waters and everyone would come out firing on full cylinders.
Nowadays, we all have a pitchfork in the closet. When this happens, there’s no point in getting riled up. Everyone already has a pitchfork and something happens every month to get them out for.
Right now I think we have 3 diff ongoing issues with chippers who owe stuff, communicated with a PCFer on the topic, but not returned to forum.
Right? At some point, talk is cheap.

Including you, I believe?
I get it, life happens, but as long as someone isn’t completely incapacitated, a month or two to get to the post office should be more than enough time and already incredibly patient. If he doesn’t have the time, energy, desire, whatever to finish the job, why not mail the chips back?
Don't try and understand PCF. It's a magic 8 ball that randomly decides how people will react.
Chippers are overwhelmingly nice people deep down, despite what public perception may indicate from browsing a majority of adversarial (or even innocuous
) threads. Even the biggest assholes are typically pretty chill in person. That said, there is really nothing to be gained from going against the grain and ranting about a situation. Anyway....<insert comment about how I'm sure Nanook is a good guy and that I hope this isn't health or family related>
Situations where a buyer/seller/vendor goes cold for an extended period of time after accepting your chips or money with nothing in return and a total lapse of communication is shit and can straight up ruin the hobby for some people, particularly newbies or those that only have a set or two. There is typically no excuse for a lapse in communication for more than a couple months in the majority of most instances, as it takes two minutes to log in and give an update to put someone at ease when you have hundreds to thousands of dollars in their property. I know anxiety can build up and become overwhelming to the party at fault, but you have to start somewhere. Go one person at a time in fixing things; it gets easier from there.
What sucks more for the party that is negatively affected is that they have to walk a tightrope since their asset is basically being held hostage. Go scorched earth and you risk being out even more; be too soft and it could just fall on deaf ears. Or you can even voice your displeasure and have numerous people vouch for someone that has essentially screwed over a large number of people, which makes you feel even worse. These people have good intentions, but it largely doesn't help. I remember people vouching for Poppin for quite some time.
Further, as you can see with Rainman today, these are "tip of the iceberg" situations. There are always way more affected people that basically keep silent or don't know it's an issue others are facing.
I wrote way too much, but full stop, Nanook is wrong and needs to make it right. There isn't much else to go over. Everything else barring a tangible immediate solution is just noise.
Emphasis mine. There are more unresolved situations out there. I think OneEyedDollar also went MIA with people's money.
