Because it was a reasonable idea based upon an existing game?

Temporary insanity.
When I called the guy from Fleischmann Distillers, who two business days earlier had written, "I am very interested in your idea, call me!" he acted like he didn't know what I was talking about. While that could be interpreted as temporary insanity, I believe it was divine intervention to establish the name of the game as Ouzo.

When first you talked to him, he was being polite, when you called him back, he had forgotten the nonsense.

And Bob is the only one who doesn't see it.

I wonder how many people it would take to repeat that, before he saw the obvious?

No, his letter to me was the only reply expressing interest in the idea, but it was an urgent request to telephone him.

I believe that someone on this forum, or perhaps another, used the term "blind denier" and that certainly applies to Bob.

Relating to Ouzo, there have been two mystical letters written to me that defy explanation, the first from the spokesman of the Spiritual Counterfeits Project, who was blown away by "The Ouzo Prophecy," and to whom I had sent the paper just to get a scathing opinion, unlike Biblical commentators who had earlier said they didn't understand it. The second letter was from Fleischmann Distillers, a letter that a company would never have written under normal conditions. However, both letters were instrumental in the further development of Ouzo, and I believe were the result of divine intervention

When you email people, do you tell them that you are Robert Merlin Evenson, and do you mention Church of Ouzo?
Are your emails formatted in 125 point bold, and they mention Satan and revelations and anything to do with the Beast?

It's possible that in a world of ubiquitous smartphones, your game that uses random numbers printed on bits of paper is technologically obsolete.

Or else it is rather likely that your emails loudly announce you as a screaming madman to be avoided.




Incidentally, if you are emailing anyone in Europe and they choose to google you, there is a note there saying that "Some results may have been removed under data protection law in Europe.", which is liable to meet with suspicion.

I'm going to guess that he already knows, but like a child, he persists in pretending because, as an adult, he doesn't know what he is without it. Carrying on a fantasy... even a completely ignorant one... is preferable to the unknown. He will likely never admit IN FRONT of anyone, how there could be any doubts or holes in his flamboyant delusions, because that would reveal all the truths about what he has ACTUALLY been: a fake, a coward, a liar, an idiot, and a wasteful and disrespectful and destructive little tool of unevolved density. :mrgreen: He has repeatedly demonstrated that there is NOTHING DIVINE for him... and he is NO prophet. He's just flapping his pie hole like a big baby wanting attention.

Wait a minute, are all of you saying that the two letters I mentioned are not mystical in nature, that they are both reasonable letters written with clear minds, and not in any way unusual? If you are, I have to seriously question your perspective.

Yep, he clearly doesn't know how to do anything other than continually flapping his pie hole like a big baby wanting attention.
