My ally buying experience from a guy who toned down his banner.
This player changed his banner to this: please pm for ally sell. I’m fighting spies farmers. Please don't put my gold out. It used to be a lot more threatening (I don't remember the exact words)
I PM him to buy an underpriced clanmate. He said to wait after his two wars. He pm me two hours later, i wasn't around. 9 hours later i see that the ally that I wanted to hire has been volleyed up by 100bil. I pm the owner, he said he PM'ed me but damn the ally got volleyed up (oh yeah sure what a coincidence). I said it's ok i will still hire. Then he said no please wait till he war again. Followed by, i will volley again, then, I'm not selling my allies. and finally, I will volley.
So nothing i can do so i said he can keep. What choice is there? He said he will volley, he will keep, not selling.
But, lol, he then wanted to put it on my as if I am the one who didn't want the ally ( I guess this thread is in his mind), and that I wanted the gold because the ally is underpriced. Surely I do want the gold. The ally was kept extremely underpriced because of the owner's previous banner. Secondly even if i didn't want the gold and just wanted to keep the ally, he already said ally not for sale. I just wanted to hire the allies, it's either yes or no or when. It's really non of his business why i wanted to hire. So at the end,banner is changed, i still cannot hire...
This is just my experience to share. jerks are jerks. It's a just a matter of whether it's a blatant banner jerk, or a closet PM jerk.
