I've been trying to crack open the wallet/assets of this wh corp my new character is a part of, quite frustrating because there are little to no excuses to get a director role. But I'm pulling out all the stops. |

Good job screwing over a dullard. The details aren't super interesting though. |

People here might applaud the 'OP' but I think these actions are hateful and utterly disgusting.
What a weasel to come here and brag about it.

bragging about stealing from a startup? Are you looking for validation? Looking for a pat on the back? You won't get it with me, you have no honor. |

Captain, we are detecting a massive buildup of butthurt in this sector! We must jump out of here quickly as the Veers Anomaly is forming at its core. If we linger any longer, the non-event horizon will overtake our location and we'll be trapped in an eternity of tears and angry posting. |

Then again, putting $1000 into an online game in a short period of time is kinda strange. Scamming it might be for the best if it convinces him to stop playing instead of spending a fortune on imaginary currency.
i think he is entitled to spend his money on whatever he wants, if he gets entertainment from mmo's then why not spend the money instead of p!ssing it up in a bar or sniffing it up your nose. you code guys are funny you try and dictate how industrials should play the game in "your highsec" now your sounding like your trying to dictate why people shouldnt spend rl cash on a game grrr code.
i guess he is stupid in way in letting some random take all his stuff, personally i couldnt do it to someone so bravo for keeping a cold heart throughout the scam

I just remembered the phrase "Trust no one in EVE". His own mistake trying to swim with the sharks. You either get eaten or you grow big enough to survive. This is EVE. |

Frankly, anyone who trusts another person to sell 500$ worth of PLEX on his/her behalf deserves what they get.
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

For the scam itself : 1/10. Stealing from someone (who actually was stupid/naive/whatever enough to give it away) is not considered a scam. There is no grand design , no plot , no difficulty involved.
For your scamming career: Try to be VERY careful when boasting about stealing stuff in the sandbox freedom of EVE. Robbing someone of his PLEX, which is directly associated with real life money can be prosecuted as a criminal act according and depending on laws and regulations applicable in each country/state/other (read the terms of service). Not to mention advertising it. You will find the relative detail in your post.
Most people are unaware of this and feel somewhat safe behind cyber names and game safeties. Blurred definitions however may lead to consequences outside sandbox scamming and dealing with real life's justice system. Yes cyber-crime laws are a fresh field and still evolving but actions involving money, especially when it is the property of someone else, don't get easily overlooked.
I don't mean to sound grim or anything. Just felt the obligation to let people know how things look from the 'outside' due to my actual involvement in a law related profession. There are a number of debated articles and posts around these and other forums mentioning how EVE 'promotes' specific behaviors, forgetting how ALL responsibility is on the actual player. I am really amazed at how many players prefer to remain ignorant. Take care when scamming and feeling the urge to share your 'success'.
Smart, shady scams are your friends. Apologies for the tl;dr post.
What complete and utter bollocks.

I think it's simply very sad that someone would willingly and knowingly inflict that sort of unpleasantness on another person. Isn't there enough unhappiness in the world?
You can macho up all you want; call me soft, naive or whatever; call his/her action brilliant, devious or reprehensible, but in the end I think it is simply sad.
I don't think our virtual selves are so very different from our real characters, and eventually the chickens come home to roost. Those who devalue trust, friendship and respect end up paying the price. At 60, I've seen it happen time and again. There's no Divine retribution. That's simply how life works. |

Was the guy not that intelligent to hand out that much scratch in isk, yes. It was a bad call on his part, as I'm sure he no doubt realizes now. Especially as notorious as EvE is for that sort of thing.
On the other hand, if you want to get smug and gloat for being a buddy screwer, you can do that too. Call yourself Machiavellian and think you're smarter than you are. You did get some real isk out of it, so good job.
But if you want congratulations for it, go in a hole and die. Just because you have some bad personality traits that happened to work for you doesn't mean you get a slap on the back. |

When I see people rob others blind in this game I always ask myself "why?" It's one thing if he wrong your family or slandered your name in game, but this guy you swindled in game had never done anything to you before. I just don't see what is so special about robbing some random person who was going above and beyond the average player and trying to generate content for not just him, but others (his corp-mates).
Then, as if deceiving someone on the internet is some huge accomplishment, you come here and brag about it. It just seems to me you found some random mark to take advantage of so you could make this post after you robbed them. I don't see anything special in this. |
