I've never trusted anybody who goes into this line of work to make a profit.

Ideally I prefer work as a network engineer or training policemen, but the economy isn't too great these days. A guy's gotta eat somehow.

For the sake of moral judgement, I would concur with Mr. Caliburn on this. Your argument, Devil, is shared by thieves and vandals. However, bounty hunters also offer the same services, so I will neither condone nor condemn your business proposals. But as a word of caution: you may not find the "economy" of this site very rewarding. Many people offer the same services for free, and I believe more than a few are just as skilled as you. But to each his own. Welcome, then, to the Lazlo Society, and may you find satisfaction in your work.

I do not believe that this forum is an advertising service. We are all in this fight together and I must say that personally I find the act of making a profit of off such things to be highly reprehensible.

Theres somebody I would like to introduce to you all:

"Hi, I'm a sense of humor. Nice to meet you."

People need zombies dealt with sometimes, and I need to eat and put my kid through college. If I offered my services pro bono all the time I would starve in short order, and then I would be able to help nobody. It doesnt make me a bad person, it makes me like most people in the world.

.... I dont overcharge.

That's a common misperception. :wink:

All bail enforcement agents like myself do is ensure fugitives are there for their day in court.

I dunno, Jack. It does say "Classifieds".

I'm reserving judgement. I can't say I like your style... It seems akin to charging a drowning man 50$ for a life preserver. But I suppose you must make a living somehow.

DevilNuts · Post by **DevilNuts** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 3:24 am

Actually, as crappy as it sounds I make most of my money from the dead. And it isnt much. I realize that zombie-wrought villages dont often have alot of money to be throwing around on consultants, so I usually include a looting clause in contracts to cover my expenses. its not as bad as it sounds.

and for all the stiffs around here, the ad was mostly intended as a parody. however, I do actually offer the services listed above, and please stop treating me like an ambulance chaser.

it was a bad joke, it failed, Im sorry.

I dunno, I thought it was rather amusing... I'm still chuckling, over here.

For all you zombie hunters out there you NEED this book. I saw a copy sitting on the shelf in my local book store and picked it up. One of the better uses for $14 I have come across lately. :lol:

Heh, it's already sitting on my wife's bookshelf...

I'd buy the book, but I found a better way to deal with zombies. Just got back from Osama-hunting and will be preusing the boards again. Rock on.

I apologize and retract that statement. I simply have trouble accepting those who fight what is clearly evil simply for profit, no matter what that money goes towards. Espeicially one who loots from towns that have need of every single resource they have simply to fill his fee.

Im afraid you have misunderstood what it is that I do. are you saying that the only morally acceptable way to fight evil is free of charge? If that were the case, evil would go largely unopposed in this world. not only that, but I dont even consider zombies to be evil at all. they are dead people who cause problems for living people. I could almost consider myself pest control for what I do.

I have never bankrupted a village to cover the cost of my services. when I said "modest fee" above, I meant it. I dont live in a mansion or anything, in fact I have been wearing the same boots for over 4 years. to be honest, there isnt much profit to be made from saving destroyed villages.

and the looting. I can definitely understand how looting might seem like a dishonest or morally reprehensible thing to do, but in some situations its better than charging cash for what I do. I take items from people who clearly no longer need them. this allows me to lower the cost of my contracts, replace the gear necessary to fulfill my contracts, and pay for additional employees.

Ive been to places where there were so many dead they had to bury them in mass graves, hundreds at a time. if I take a few rings, wallets and wristwatches from those being buried, it honestly never hurts anyone. in fact, it has often kept me in buisness, which in turn lowers the overall zombie population worldwide, which in turn helps people. I suppose its all about perspective.

but dont assume Im doing all this for profit. because I live in a small house, I drive a crappy car, I drink cheap beer and if i were rich, I wouldnt have to keep working. I do this because its what im good at.

As it's already been pointed out a couple of times that the ad here was a parody, I'm not gonna bother pointin out how useless it is to take it so seriously...

Devilnuts, you mentionned that zombies aren't evil at all...and I agree. It's almost never the zombies' fault that they've been brought back, and their actions are either under the control of those who brought them back, or are simple acts of mindless agression. They should be returned to rest, not condemned for walking the earth...

So I, for one, will applaud Devilnuts' work. Keep it up!

Oh, man, I laughed so hard I nearly fell out of my chair... Thank you! I just hope that DevilNuts gets to see this, too... I'll be singing it all night, now.
