how about something entirely non commercial like this.

The cost will be £375pp for shared twin/double accommodation in l’Oxalys incl. Val Thorens area lift pass.
You can secure your place for a deposit of £120 (settle up the rest by 6wks before the EoSB pls).
Anyone paying a deposit before 7th Nov will pay £10 less on the final price.
Anyone paying in full before 7th Nov will get a discount of £25.
No one needs to pay a single supplement as we'll sort you out with a room mate of similar gender, but if you really want to be a lawn, you can be for £180. |

I prefer the way nix opened this thread - much more intriguing.

I think you will find that I didn't either  In fact I have been on your side from the outset - in all cases in the past too (maybe in error given the above quote), but I hope not.

Oh nixmap, you just can't seem to tell your defenders from your detractors can you? Or, it would appear, an ironic smile from a sneer.
Chill out matey - as usual, you start out with a good idea and then get all over sensitive and risk starting to look a bit of a... well whatever. As I say, 'relax', smile, nobody hates you (yet) and the snow will be here soon

Thanks admin abc, , I know whose side I'm on, but it seems I have a lost cause on my hands, some folks you just can't help can you? You then start to wonder if they are worth the time or trouble?

Who's on anyone's side? This is an internet forum after all, not real life.
From what I've seen, Nixmap has usually explained himself well when given the chance, although I accept that not everyone on this forum would see it the same way.
Of course there is another explanation. Maybe all of this since the beginning has been an elaborate troll - Nix doesn't have a place in CH, in fact he lives a lonely bachelor existence above his 8 to late corner shop in one of our inner cities, and the whole of this has been his escape from reality. Not likely, I grant you, but possible.
What say you, Nix?

Chamcham, If he is a troll he is a very busy one (I don't think he is). If you Google the two words
Nixmap Switzerland
and follow some of the many links on the first page you can see that he's posted both summer and winter versions of his quest for help in the appartment on quite a number of different forums. It has to be said the only forum he seems to pick up derision from is this one

I don't think the last sentence is true. I first came across Nix in his initial advert for his non staff staff on TGR. Now they really know how to deride on that forum.
Anyway, how do you know he's not just a very patient, sophisticated troll? After all, it would be the best troll I've ever been privileged to follow.
Still waiting for you to come out of the troll closet, Nix.

Boredsurfing, I didn't see it actually, pretty sure it's not in that googled search. Also, the googled term given doesn't identify the TGR posts so I didn't see what sort of reception he got there.

I'm with ChamCham - I reckon he's the most skillful troll ever.
Is it too early to start a sweepstake on how many pages this thread'll run to?

The best troll ever would be 0BernhardFranz on TGR, but I fervently hope he is real. I never thought nixmap was a troll, actually I quite like him. I'd certainly ski with him.

ChrisWo, horizon,
I didn't say he was troll, merely asked the question.
But it would be a great troll...

nixmap, look, let's try to see the irony . . . Your original posts here were part of a coordinated and very widespread staff recruitment plan (let's put aside the motivation) and it really did provide us with a 'marmite moment', But given that you attempted to repeat it indicates that you're either remarkably naive or extraordinarily venal . . . you are yourself . . . 'Marmite'.
All you need to do is tell us that you want to host a party/bbq/orgy/whatever and it's gonna cost X, can accommodate X and ask if we can help. Michelle and her ever suffering sommelier does this every year with great success.
Of course, I could just be a sh¡t and . . . . .

Why does there need to be "sides" in all of this?
One brave "free?"dom fighter battling the collective cynicism of a wider message board? The potential flaws in nixmap's "employment"/mutual perk/servitude model have been well documented and frankly I suspect that no-one who can search the internet is going to go into that relationship eyes shut.
So if this separate offer is genuine, why not allow it to stand or fall on its merits? Of course there is going to be urine extraction but the OP is fairly thick skinned so I'm not sure it needs to be spun as one generous individual being crushed by the corporate evil of admin and his minions.
If I was being sceptical I might say that this thread has the characteristics of being a set up as a platform for whinging but I'd love to be proved wrong.

Me to, cannot do the weekend of 23rd January other wise good to go. The longer the notice the cheaper the flights mind. Highly unlikely that I will be sold into any sort of prostitution so no value for you there. Also if this is some organ theft scam , mine are pretty done in too.

It's not a question of scepticism, but of simple observation. Have a look at his post of 23.44 on Wednesday.
