The important thing is that there is an agreement in advance. Bigalo thought he had one, but doesn't have anything to back him up, and now he's paying the price for that.
And he's obviously learned from this mistake, but he's also trying to help other people learn from his mistake as well - not only in warning against this particular player, but also in providing a concrete example of actions a GM will take with regard to crafting agreements. I think most people confirm the terms of an HQ result before-hand, but this shows that if you were in a rush, or didn't think to do it immediately before the synth, for whatever reason, you can expect to lose the HQ if the person bitch-slaps you with a lazy GM. It doesn't surprise me, but I can say that I have never heard of an instance where a GM did this, and it pisses me off even more that they won't transfer rare/ex drops to another player when someone requests that they do so in instances of a mistaken lot.
But rather than people saying "sucks to be you, but thanks for the heads up," they're slamming him for making the mistake and having the AUDACITY to come here and use the player warning forum to actually warn other players about a shady player.
In hindsight, it was fuking stupid the throw it away, but maybe he thought the GM's wouldn't give it to her if it had been dropped, and obviously he was of the opinion that she didn't deserve it.
And Kat is obviously and attention whore who's either trolling or just has no fuking common sense, compounded with a severe lack of reading comprehension. Bigalo didn't give us all the details up front, but so far no one has come out against him with add'l instances of shadiness, while we have seen them come up for Riahna.
OP should request thread closure at this point, or Mod should just do it; not getting anywhere at this point unless someone comes up with the new Remora information for Riahna.
