'cuz fat people are easier to make fun of than average-weight or skinny people.

I picture him as lean and tall...sort of like scarecrow skinny...with a pointy goatee and a raven that sits on his shoulder...possibly wearing a wizard's robe (Cougar in the robe...not the raven).

I think he smokes a lot...and drinks very black coffee in frequent and copius doses....but never touches alcohol (anymore...after the "incident"). (Imagine his breath after all that coffee and all those smokes!)

ummm . . . that's closer to a description of me . . .

Cougarrinard is the Elric of game collecting.

Do not slander the White Wolf in that manner!

His computer is up to date, but it sits on a second-hand folding table. There are empty mugs and ashtrays all around it, and the air is heavy with the smell of the incense his girlfriend loves.

I picture him as a guy who likes horror movies...but then has nightmares and must have a candle or nightlight lit in his room at all times.

I picture the bookshelf behind him as filled with coffee table books of naked or underwear clad women...and that his girlfriend/fiance posts pictures of herself on suicidegirl.com.

As a DM, he is authoritarian and likes to fix up elaborate traps for his players.

His house has swords and rock posters on the walls...with an old, off-brand Stratocaster in the corner.

Yes...I think I've got him....

Cougarrinard is the Elric of game collecting.

I always pictured him as a stereotypical overweight gamer type. His shirt doesn't quite cover his bulging belly, which is enlarged from one too many late night fish and chips runs. His desk is surrounded by empty cans of coke, jolt and fanta orange cola, which he drinks by the case full. His hands, and mouth area, are always greasy from the large amounts of food his mail order bride Fijo fixes him (mostly beef pies, bbq ribs and homemade pastries). He has coke bottle thick glasses, and peers in disdail upon most things.
He used to DM a local group, but most drifted away because of his arbitrary decisions and bursts of monomania at the gaming table. He still thinks he has a "group" and manages to DM some kids from the neighborhood occasionaly, who snicker at all his dungeons which are of the "killer" type and end up destroying the adventuring party in an hour or so. After which he smugly tells the teens that they weren't ready for that, were they? BLOCK WIPE! he then sniggers.
He never finsished high school (or the equivalent in the UK), and has dyslexia but refuses to admit it. His favorite reading material is TSR Forgotten Realms novels, but he slips in a Gor novel here and there when the wife isn't looking. He's only seen a naked lady once in his life, and it was his mother in the bathtub. The kids made fun of him when he was little, calling him "Roly Poly" and "Chubs". He justifies every asinine decision on ebay to steal from a buyer by equating the buyer with the lads that made fun of him when he was little...they deserve it!
He has two little yap dogs that he dotes on, giving them treats while he picks away at the typewriter in bad light at night. He mutters to himself under his breath and giggles a lot, giddy at the thought of "secret schemes" he's planning against the Acaeum.
You may think this is cruel to make fun of a person, but seriously, Cougar isn't any more real than Harry Potter, James Bond, Bridget Jones or any other UK literary creation. No one could be that "cougish" and be a real person.

Interesting thread that's been going on here. Thought I'd share my experience with Dave. Big thanks to whomever discovered this new user ID he's been using-one more to add to the block list... Anyway, I had dealt w/Dave on a previous sale on eBay and gave him a chance to buy a pretty thrashed on collection in a private sale. I ship 3 M-Bags full of stuff to him-and keep in mind I had told him up front that condition of some of these books was far from perfect, very well used stuff. He proceeds to claim that books were damaged in transit and that I have to refund him half the cost! We ended up settling on far less than half-I really didn't want to deal w/calls from credit card companies about chargebacks. I wish now I had not knuckled under to him at all-but hindsight is 20/20 right? As has been said many times before on this board if you're thinking of dealing with Cougarrinard be prepared for the worst experience of your life, literally.

Got a big laugh out of the e-mail feud between Coug and Asylum Books-he really is an axe-murderer of the English language. A cool site for those not familiar with it is Toolhaus.org It allows you to sort an eBay user ID for neg/neutral FB (among other sort cats) without having to wade through all the pages of other FB. Shamless plug!

Can't you imagine the Eternal Champion, trapped on this mundane world, with his runesword (possibly a "Titanium Powersword?") residing under his un-made bed, going totally nuts with boredom and considering any sort of manual labor beneath him?

So, he gets into RPG sales because it fills the time and keeps him from having to endure the agony of human contact.

He takes up with a jaded Earth woman, whose home he uses as a base for his operation.

His command of English is limited because of the difference between the Laws of Syntax on Earth and Melnibone. Also, as the rightful Emperor of Melnibone, he feels that grammar is beneath him.

That would explain his continual reliance on status as a judge of who is right and wrong in a dispute. It would also explain his willful nature and tendency to declare that whatever is shipped to him is not good enough.

At night, he plays in a rock band at underground British clubs (Titanium Powerchords?"). On occasional weekends, he plays D&D with a group of Goth followers who do not know his true nature, but are in awe of his enormous ego power. ("Titanium Powergamers?")

He manipulates online deals simply as a pastime until he gathers the items he needs to break the demon pacts that trap him in this world.

A couple of years ago, I was convinced that CougTard tended to treat his UK buyers better than his U.S./Canadian buyers. And I figured the reason was that he didn't want to get bitch-slapped by a disgruntled UK buyer who could find him pretty easily ... I mean, no offense guys, but it's a pretty small island. :wink:

Now, though, I'm not so sure. He just seems to treat everyone with complete disdain, regardless of where they are from. I'm not sure I've even seen a so-called "businessman" (remember: three houses! :roll:

) who so actively hates all of his customers.

Sometimes, I think it's only a matter of time before he gets a pounding. He'll rip off a Millwall F.C. fan or something and, a few days later, will end up tasting his own teeth.

Absolutey hilarious, Mark. I swear, this thread gives so much it's incredible. I'm either laughing or crying when I leave here everyday. If Cougie wasn't real, we'd have to invent him or something...

Cougie IS a Liverpool "fan"; how else to explain his "cuss"-tomer service; it reminds me of what a hooligan D&D powerseller would sound/act/write like.

Many years ago, I followed Millwall around the country for a season or so(a friend was a real 'fan') and I can say that I was genuinely scared for my life on more than one occasion!! BUT, however strange it may sound I can really see how people get 'carried away' (for want of a better phrase) with all of the stereotypical football hooligan behaviour. A mob mentality takes over that is almost tangible, and when the adrenalin starts pumping....... - strange days indeed.
(I'm not in any way condoning such behaviour btw. As it goes, I'm not really cut out for hoolaganism - when push comes to shove I'm a bit chicken and I don't really like getting punched!!)

DON'T get me started on that. i am from Liverpool and that has to be the most fabricated piece of crap i have ever heard in my life.

its amazing how narrow UEFAs/FIFAs view is of these things. it really does astound me.

they take very little notice of Ajax/Feyenoord in Holland. did you know that when they play each other, away fans are not allowed to the matches. mmmmm wonder why that is.

and seriously, have they EVER even bothered to look at Turkey ??!!!

Its just a fact to be honest, that Liverpool have always been made examples of all down the years. For some reason, they are the team that the powers-that-be like to hate.

muppets.

i have only seen football violence once in my life from a personal view.

that was the 1st round of the FA cup waaaaaaaaay back in 1981. my home town team Runcorn, were away at Burnley (the days of Martin Dobson, ex-Everton!). Walking to the ground at Turf Moor with my Dad and his two mates, a burnley fan walks over to a guy not 10 feet in front of us and just chinned him on the spot and then laid a boot in and walked away!

to say i was shocked (i was only 13 at the time), is a vast under-statement.

since then, i have been to a multitude of liverpool matches, home and away and have never seen anything.

funny that though, isnt it?

Idiots like Cougy definately have no idea about football or any kind of sport in general! All the chubboid does is sit at his computer all day and all night eating macdonalds and farting!

He probably loves the X-Files and Star Trek and various other science fiction TV shows.

He definately never plays D&D, and probably has not since he left school 30 years ago.

His parents probably died and left him a house (you know the one he says he bought himself, from ripping people off!).He probably rents this out and lives in another mortgaged home.

He has absolutely no friends, and probably has not had any in about 20 years.

The Kitty fetish scared all the others away.

He is most definately fat, as i called him a fat idiot in a feedback listing and he did not deny it.

Jeez if what Coogie says is true Portsmouth postal services must be the worse in the UK. They loose more than they deliver! (so he says)

If you think Millwall fans are bad check out Portsmouths football hooligan history(the baggies). It is a nasty place, you can bet Coogie came from the well to do middle class section though.

Portsmouth and the nearby town Southampton hate each other, and have done the past 50 or so years since a dockyard strike in Portsmouth brought scab workers in from Southampton who passed the pickets.Im sure Dave would be a picket jumper!

Can you imagine him working in a managerial role as he suggested?
Maybe in a video rental shop! Or burger king as good ol M-Bag Biatch surmised!

Pie eating male, as they call em in the UK.

If he stung me for more than £50 i would not be saying i would pay him a visit, i would be describing what would have happened because i would already have been down there banging on his door!

Absolute twat!

As many of you know by now, I am not a 5-star rated powerseller or even close to one of eBay's high-volume RPG sellers. You also are aware that I have been posting my plight with eBay seller "cougarrinard" here in these forums.

Today, I received an email from eBay that has me on the verge of an eBay boycott - no purchases, no sales, anything. I would like to ask you members here, whom I greatly respect as re-sellers and collectors, what you think!

I don't want to be an alarmist or overreact, but this whole situation has me really wondering WHO eBay is designed to help. And I can't STAND organizations, business or otherwise, that condone trampling on the little guy.

Let's just say that I believe eBay will be REMOVING my feedback about cougar.

I got this email about 10 minutes ago, and I'm still picking my jaw up off the floor.

Recently we became aware that your eBay account was involved in the following activity:

Feedback abuse -- Any abuse of the feedback system that results in a violation of the intended use of that system. Feedback is intended solely as a rating of the actual performance of a bidder or seller in the conduct of their transaction.

The following feedback comment was left from your account:

We invite you to review eBay's policies on feedback, which can be found at:

Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this important matter.

Regards,

Customer Support (Trust and Safety Department)
eBay Inc

This man can abuse customers repeatedly....demand mutual withdrawals..."lose" shipments....overcharge on shipping...ignore auction descriptions in VIOLATION of eBay's policy, etc. and eBay does NOTHING, yet someone who leaves a comment in the attempt to let others know about his problems gets a WARNING AND THEIR NEGATIVE FEEDBACK REMOVED?????"

When I reported cougar to eBay for auction interference (i.e. bidding on an auction which the description specifically said he could not bid on) I got replies from both eBay UK and eBay US that they could not find any violations on the part of said buyer. And I'm sure all of you who read my responses saw it was pretty CLEAR that there were NO INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS allowed on that auction.

Am I just losing my freaking mind??? Or is eBay keeping a powerseller - no matter how terrible, dishonest and scum-sucking - in business because he helps their bottom line?

Is this worth an eBay boycott? Is this worth a petition? Or should I just shut up and let it go, knowing that this asshat is blocked? Rally the troops, gentlemen, because this man has been throwing nukes at honest eBayers and RPG collectors for several years.

Your suggestions would be appreciated. This has got me REALLY ticked, and darn it, this shouldn't happen to anybody else on eBay because WE as buyers can't tell the "truth" about this seller!!!!!!!!!!!
