Default Stiffing the porter

Last week, someone ported me to EJ. (Don't remember who it was.

Well, turns out there is a bug in game i wasn't aware of that made me look like I stiffed a porter. I went to pay the guy beforehand, (I always do, in case I go LD from zoning.) but before I could give the plat on my cursor to him, his port spell went off. When we arrived, the plat was still on my cursor. So when I handed it to him, it said "SoAndSo has cancelled the trade."

I thought, very cool! Not many porters port you for free. So I thanked him and ran off to Seb. He never said anything at all. (Most don't anyway.) So I gave it no more thought.

Well, come to find out, it's a game bug. The plat on the cursor if you zone is "ghost plat" and the "cancelled the trade" message is the game default response.

So to whomever ported me last weekend to EJ, I wasn't stiffing you on a tip, I genuinely thought you cancelled the trade and was doing it as a favor in good faith.

1000 apologies......

I know this is really petty in the world of p99 politics, but I just wanted the person to know, I didn't mean to stiff them.
