WWE Champions General - Despite his claims, DSP is still spending thousands of dollars on the WWE Champions mobile game

[BT9494]

The majority of points in the Million Dollar Showdown contest come from winning showdown matches with specific characters and leveling up NWO guys. Even without NWO Macho Man, it is safe to say that DSP should have the rest of the wrestlers on the list.

Could he be spending some money on this event? Sure, but it would be nowhere near the $3,000-$4,000 suggested here.

How many points does one get from those matches? @tzgnilki, can you get your person to provide some sort of reasoning for how they get to their number?

Here you go:

As you can see, I am already at 3.75 million for the event and have not touched the 40 Shelton Benjamin matches which would add another 1,847,600.

I do not have NWO Hall or the acrobat Macho Man, or that would be another 1,638,680. NWO Macho Man, which we don't believe DSP has, would add another 1,236,000.

Plus, he could have been hoarding some weekly showdown coin bonuses.

Unfortunately, there are lots of ways to do the math on this one to see how DSP is acquiring points without spending much.

 

[wahkando]

Safe to assume he's spent some money, but after reading that I don't think he's spent THOUSANDS at least.

But I have an education on the topic and have worked with addicts and it's safe to assume that someone with such a severe addiction to gambling would never be able to remain in the metaphorical crack house for long enough to win 100 wrahstling games and not take a hit.

 

[leChinkyRaccoon]

Ran "insanely good" through pigpiggo, it does seem to be in his vernacular.

 

[MirnaMinkoff]

Probably, but on the other hand ... if I had to have an addiction, at least give me one that doesn't utterly fuck up my health.

You ever been around compulsive gamblers? Most chain smoke and drink, gambling is usually far from their only vice. But the sheer sedentary nature of gambling on screens is terrible. Between Phil streaming and gatcha games he probably moves less than a slug.

But even solely degenerate gamblers collect heart attacks like pokemon due the constant stress and limited excercise. Gambling has a cascading effect and the extreme stress caused by compounding financial ruin and debts can be a killer over time, heart attack, strokes and suicides abound.

Mobile gacha gambling is rather new in the West but it seems the modern version of slot machines, with the twist of no money winnings ever. At least the old folks addicted to poker machines have to physically go to the machines to lose money and occasionally win some money. Guys like Phil can gamble anywhere 24/7 and will never win any money.

event scores were noted at 0230hrs Sat 21st March, Seattle time, these are his rankings


checked on dsp's wwe progress after a very successful day of NEW RELEASES tm, today's recap by mundane dave

the first event is one where you burn/spend resources to gain "points", DSP has participated in these events in the past, which are designed as resource sinks, resources are "booby prizes" from lootboxes/rolls

this shows how much he's spending and not getting what he wants, consistently TOP 100 during these resource events

View attachment 1196836


the second event, "million dollar showdown", is a little bit more interesting

at 1722hrs Fri 20th March, he was unranked, & at 0230hrs Sat 21st March-he is #3

DSP has 8,000,000 points, which is approx $3,000-$4,000 spent, for ONE EVENT

View attachment 1196880

where could DSP suddenly have an extra $3,000-$4,000 ?

taxes for 2019 have been delayed for 90 days/3 months, payments pushed to July

his birthday is coming up, probably a huge week-long begathon with an appearance from resident whale planetjeff

the source for the $$ figure wants to remain anonymous, it is not the discord mole


response on discord when I asked if these events were pay2win, answer: YES

View attachment 1196852

only DSP could spend thousands merely 8 days after vowing not to spend again during the month of march

I‘d imagine Phil’s tips are going to start cratering the more this virus shutdown continues. Even the wheelchairs are having to spend extra money for supplies and question giving money to a sad man to buy sweaty wrasslin men on his phone.

Poker machines are ridiculously good for the gambler compared to plain old slot machines, which are the crack cocaine of all gambling. The hold is often quite low and the kind of old codger who sits and plays that shit, even if they're losing, is usually losing at a slow enough rate they can nurse a few dollars for hours.

 

[BScCollateral]

You ever been around compulsive gamblers?

I'm certainly not proposing that gambling is a healthy lifestyle choice, for the reasons you pointed out. Still, it's not meth.

 

[DiabeticSP]

The trick to point based ladders is that if everyone can get points by playing, just playing wont put you in the top 100.

It requires going above and beyond the casuals, and since we know Champions multiple 100 person+ autism guilds vying for the top spots. That means opening the wallet.

I'm 100% sure he has spent a non insignificant amount of money on the event, especially to get ahead fast before he would have had time to play enough matches.

Oh, my bad, it’s a interchangeable term to me. My non-American spouse had a huge swath of his older family addicted to what they call “pokey machines.“ When I worked at a bar in college they were illegal and called grey machines. Now the casinos near me have banks of slots right next to banks of poker machines. So it’s all just a great mass of screens sucking down money and I generalize them all as poker machines.

When I was around them the poker machines actually required larger bets compared to the slots ($1 to $5 per hand compared to .5 to .25 at the slots) so they seemed even out for the time it took to suck down the same amount money. They always got some small win right as the credits neared zero to reel them back in too.

True, but was around both at one point and only the skin picking had the meth addicts worse off looking than severe gamblers. Neither took care of themselves and ran around like chickens with their heads cut off doing the stupidest shit. Down the road the meth heads probably faired worse Im sure.

Might as well take this opportunity to promote Uncut Gems as a great film..and a pretty good depiction at the stupid shit and thinking of a compulsive gambler.

Spoiler

I might be biased, but in college I worked for a bar owned by a bookie and the behavior of gamblers astounded me way more than typical drug addicts. Maybe if I could see these same people ten years later the gamblers might have fared better, idk, but at the time they all seemed equally fucked I different ways. The gamblers tended to have the whole secret double life thing going a lot more though.

 

[Homer Simpson]

Phil doesn't have the patience to melt butter, there's no way he would do this.

Well, he is a gamer and doesn't have time for that. Still makes me laugh.

 

[King Daddy Telomerase]

Phil has to be spending money because there's definitely loser kids playing that shit all day, every day to make the leaderboards. Which Phil can't do.

Meth is a lot cheaper.

If you manage to get off meth, you just continue to stay away from it. Money is integral to the gambling disorder. It's like gambling addiction is a dysfunctional way of interacting with money like anorexia is a dysfunctional way of interacting with food, and it's not like you can just avoid money the rest of your life.

Phil probably DOES play it all day, and likely whales on energy to boot.

But either way to be at the top of the leaderboards means that he has to out play and spend the other exceptionals who are also trying to get to the top.

Basically if they all play as much as possible, it comes down to cash to place higher.

Its why I my soul sucking gachas never have ladders, its an extra layer of toxic coercion even the scummiest of Japanese gacha waifu games wont stoop too.

there was a period of time where matches wern't live and the only way to gain points was the "loot"

his score was noted during that time period

Seems like an easy way to check would be to see if his score increases further tonight.

 

[lavrentiyberia]

I'm not so jaundiced as to not be able to take a step back and say to our favorite lurker: well done, Phil, you finally got higher than 4th place in something.

 

[Salubrious]

I'm starting to wonder if DSP "doesn't have time" to play longer streams because he genuinely hates games, or because he genuinely needs his gotcha fix.

 

[BrokeACKMountain]

Still, it's not meth.

87 pages in, and the first positive thing that anyone has said about this whole situation is "it's not meth.".

 

[actually]

He's lazy and knows he's not going to get enough extra money to make it worth his while.
