Hey Tombo, my favorite conspiracy theorist!! Isn't it kind of you to attack a newbie's first post. Particularly from you who's posted almost 1,500 times on everything under the sun here on Tug. (check him out for yourselves, folks) I've noticed you only attack people who might not agree with you. What's the matter, don't you believe in free and open dialogue? Or would you rather keep trying to intimidate people who know more than you do? I think it's obvious to everyone on here that you're nothing more than some guy with nothing else to do than to try and create problems where none exist. Goodness, gracious, Tombo, you don't even own at the resort and as near as I can tell, you've never even been there. And yet, you have opinion after opinion without any actual knowledge. Hey, here's a thought. How about actually visiting a resort and finding out what's going on before you shoot your mouth off?
Cliff
P. S. I promise you I don't need anyone to speak for me. I'm perfectly capable of doing it myself and I have no need to hide behind a fake name, either.
Dear capeguitarguy, oops NEVMS, I mean Cliff. A person going by the name capeguitarguy became a member of an owners group started by Sou13. SOU13 found out it was actually you and called you on it. In post 91 you act confused about what this capeguitarguy thing is all about. In post 94 you deny that capeguitarguy is you and you say that you wouldn't have used the name capeguitarguy because it would be too obvious. Later capeguitarguy did end up to be you as was shown in post number 126.

How I could possibly think that you might hide behind a fake name?
Let's see. You say no problems exist, yet complaints have been filed with the AG.That usually means that there is a problem.
I started posting on this thread to warn owners about Festiva because of what has happened and what is still happening at MY RESORT since Festiva took over. Please re-read my early posts. Most of the things I warned about have occurred. I warned about the board being taken over, you have placed Outfield Mktg people as trustees. My warning was justified. I warned about forced assessments with no vote of the owners. The assessments also came as I warned. I warned that they would be told that upgrades would be required and that too has occured. I warned that many owners would be tricked into converting to Festiva points and that too has happened and is still happening. My conspiracy theories have come true and dates on posts show that I predicted these things before they happened. I am either psychic (I am not), a good guesser (possibly), or I simply assumed correctly that the actions that were taken at other resorts would also be taken at this resort unless owners could prevent it.
My opinion of Festiva hasn't changed. I still feel that Festiva is a bad company for owners since they take over resorts and leave owners with no vote as to the direction the resort takes, no vote on assessments, no input on upgrades, and no choice in having a company other than Festiva manage the resort since they eventually control the vote and the board.
I have not posted anything on this thread until today since April 27th, yet complaints about NEVMS, Outfield Mktg, and Festiva continue to be posted by many who do own there. I had left the thread to owners and read often while not contributing since my main contribution was warnings about what would happen. The owners are now dealing with what has happened and what is continuing to happen. On TUG one does not have to be an owner to particpate in discussions about a resort, I have just chosen not to join in for a while. BTW, after not posting here for over 2 months I would have expected a nicer welcome back from you Cliff. I guess we aren't tight anymore.
I said it could be your post, it could be Festiva's, it could be NEVMS's post,it could be an Outfield post, it could be capegitarguy's post, it could be an actual owner's first time post, we will never know for sure. As far as pointing out the fact that a first timers post is so slanted towards the NEVMS position of not wanting to let owners collaberate by getting each other's addresses, I had to point out the obvious. Boy did I hit a nerve. You are usually so calm and reserved in your responses.
For someone to finish their inaugural post with the statement" managment take note", geez, give me a break. It sure is nice for you to be able to say see why we won't give out owner's information and then be able to reference that post by an anonymous guest who has made a total of one posts ever here on TUG. That is awfully convenient for you. In 153 posts on this thread no one else has ever said that they didn't want management to give other owners their information, but this poster has somehow found several owners who feels the same way. Where did he find the other owners? No one is suposed to be able to get personal information from mgt, so it would be nice to know how this poster contacted the other owners that feel the same way. It obviously wasn't on this thread. Only Outfield Mktg seems to be able to access the owner's personal information, and that is purely for the financial benefit of Outfield/Festiva/NEVMS, not for the benefit of the owners.
If someone here believes that a first time poster felt compelled to post this on TUG to prevent MGT from releasing their personal info (rather than just calling the resort), and if you believe that they have also discussed it with other owners who feel the same way, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you and some valuable Festiva points to swap for your worthless summer weeks.
It is good to talk to you again Cliff. I am very surprised at how sensitive you are about a post made by someone you don't know. Maybe you are starting to become a defender of the little guy. That would be good news for all of those who were tricked into surrendering the good weeks they owned for points that are almost worthless. Now there is something for you to get indignant about.
