Just so you know, offering a bribe is always the first thing that comes to my mind, being shouted at and ordered to pay money does not strike me as 'suggesting a bribe'. And such is not conducive to having fun (Skipper pretty much ragequitted after, and i was not far from doing the same). I am also not the sort of person to just PM the people involved afterwards, that strikes me as even more 'whiney'.
I am sorry that it came to this, but i had a really s*** day in regards to disco, and this was only the beginning of it.
