GRIP have a confession to make

  1. Is anyone interested in my new organisation? I'm thinking something along thr lines of Definitely.... Not GRIPS MK2. I'm not sure though. By the way, this has nothing to do with that DC of mineral mincers I'm collecting ;) Idk if all this is a joke or the truth but either way.. It takes a bigger person to share the truth than to lie and keep it forever.

  2. Clearly you guys should've made your secret acronym GRWIP - getting rich with impressive proficiency. ;)

  3. After the revelation made in this thread, I will be very cautious of any so call organisations and will think they are probably scams. i think the guys from GRIPS have done more harm than i think they probably realise, using the good nature and generosity of the Empire community to line their own pockets. Yes it's good they have come clean but i think harsh punishments should be imposed on all involved.

  4. Is it too late to join GRIP?

  5. Ok, time to step in a little.

    The above post is done on a personal note by Builder but in doing so he does not represent GRIP in any way, shape or form. I've shared my opinion about it somewhere else, and I'm keeping that private.

    GRIP does not, will not, and shall never abuse the trust which players put into us. Our main goal is to help players who got griefed by refunding items to them or providing them with a financial compensation to sort some things out themselves in case we cannot provide the items.

    Any GRIP member who would actually stoop so low as to (ab)using our materials for their own benefit will find themselves removed from the organization immediately..
  6. Hm. He is a member of GRIP, therefore he does represent GRIP, right? He is a part of GRIP even if you believe that part is small.

    It's fair to say his view isn't shared by the rest of GRIP. (I'd only believe that if the other members confirmed.)

    But you can't just declare his view irrelevant when he is officially listed as a member.

  7. Well, it was stated it was a joke twice ;)
  8. Oh, you mean the joke isn't condoned by the rest of GRIP. Ok, haha, fair enough. :)

    But yeah, GRIP member posts about GRIP....it does represent GRIP.
  9. Shel was present when the story came about on smp2, he didn't stop me making a thread so :rolleyes: FREEDOM!

  10. JP also has the freedom to go along with the joke as he sees fit. Once you've set it free it is no longer in your control.

  13. It's been less than 24 hours since the post. It deserves a full weekend IMO.
  14. *has, in the title, it bothers be so much >.>
  15. I don't think so, actually. In Dutch, it would be, but I think this is correct in English.
    Just like "The police have arrested T. van Wijnen."

  16. But GRIP isn't plural, or is it? :confused:
  17. No.
  18. You'd say it like '[Company Name] have a confession to make' and not '[Company Name] has a confession to make'. GRIP is an organisation [on EMC], so 'have' makes sense.
