Some of you know me, some of you don't.
Those that do recognize me mostly consider me a generally bad person and someone with a lack of ethics or moral values.
Those that know me realize I just take a different play style than most, and am actually pretty upstanding in real life.
I've spent my EVE career stealing money from strangers and false friendships. Even stealing from the rich fellows in the market forums with a fake bond.
In my time playing EVE I have only ever ran missions to get standings to enable jump clones. 95% of the missions I paid others to do for me.
I've never mined veldspar or any asteriods for any purpose.
I have ratted in 0.0 during the start of my career to get some basic funding before I really got into what I really like to do.
That's right. I don't touch any of the normal game mechanics. I don't do production, nothing. Nada.
I began playing EVE because it was made clear to me that it is a game where crime is allowed. Tricking and stealing from other players is sanctioned within the rules.
This is something that is hard to come by in MMO games. Stole loot in an RPG? A GM takes it from you and gives you a warning on your account. A warning that if your actions are repeated, you're no longer allowed to play the game.
So I began playing. I began playing with the intent of slowly gaining wealth by doing nothing. Nothing but pressing keys like I am now. Talking to you, your friends, anyone.
Since I began playing slightly over a year ago, I have brought my wealth up to over 300 billion ISK, doing nothing but talking.
I of course have PVPed quite a bit and put a lot of my ISK to use as gifts for myself and close friends, but other than that it has mostly just been collecting and not been doing much.
All of my ISK has been "legitimately" earned in the game and through the forums. No game time cards, no illegal activities--everything within the boundaries of the EULA. All from a fake persona.
EVE is an incredibly deep game. The social, political, and economical aspects to it are absolutely fantastic and completely unlike anything else.
Unfortunately for me, I have reached a point where the drive to login and play has simply been lost. I always played for the ISK, the wealth. I feel like I have hit a point where it just doesn't make sense anymore.
So why not just pay my account with game time cards and come back in the future if I feel like it again?
I've done it before. I've taken breaks. I know the feeling of burn out.
But this is genuinely different. I think that EVE is a game where you create your own goals and determine your own path. I believe that I have reached the end of my path.
It has been a blast, but EVE is not the kind of game that you can play forever. You eventually just run out of things that you find enjoyable and it's time to move on.
I believe there are many other people out there doing similar things as myself, and there will always be vast potential for ISK to be earned through the manipulation of others.
Social engineering and social experiments fit perfectly into EVE and it has been a thrilling experience.
The rush that many of you felt as you entered into your very first PVP fight can be found time and time again as you convince others to give you all their hard earnings.
My account still has a bit of time on it, but I will not be playing anymore.
And, of course, since I am a megalomaniac:
The part of my post that everyone will actually care for! (I hope at least one or two people enjoyed my little life story there.)
The link in my signature will very soon become a website.
This website will be used as a platform to raffle off all of my ISK.
Once I liquidate the rest of my assets it is looking to be nearly 330 billion ISK to be given away.
When will it be done?
I'm not sure.
I want to make it really fun. In a way that there's lots of opportunity for anyone who is interested in winning ISK.
I will be sure to post when it is finished.
Kind regards,
Riethe

Going back to EVE now, still lots of 'rock'n & rollin' to do.

Excuse me for being cautious of someone who has professed that he has gained his entire wealth by lying and stealing, but if its a raffle, wont that involve us sending YOU ISK? If so this is quite obviously another scam. A rather well run scam, but a scam nonetheless.
If you really are quitting, however, I salute you. EVE's always been my favorite MMO because of it encouraging players like you, and the loss of one of our skilled scumbag players will be missed (by me anyway).

Count me in
I don't care if I don't get any ISK out of this, but I like games, and that website looks like it's gonna be fun, whatever trials we have to accomplish. (Don't get me wrong tho, if I get ISK even better ^^)
Thanks in advance for not just /emoing out of the game with all your stuff hidden in stashes, but instead make it flow and make some people happy, having fun in the meantime :P. That compensates all the scams you might ever have done.
Lets see how it turns out, and lets see if I can fly anything better than t1 ruppys for once  .

There are various training corps and charitable groups in eve that would very much appreciate a little isk injection for hiring experienced players to give lessons, organising larger scale events, equipping newbs with top qualitiy gear, the more expensive skillbooks, and decent implants for their chosen professions, etc

When I first entered the EVE forums one of the first forums I frequented was the Market Discussion Forum. Riethe was in there quite heavily and being harrased contantly for being a scammer. But to be quite honest he typically had the most coherent and complete posts and typically could keep a very cool head amongst the flames. I have more respect for Reithe as a character more so then some others not needing mentioning.
That all being said when the chance arises I will be in the lottery. I can always use extra iskies since I have to be one of the most inefficient players that posts somewhat regulary in the forums.

I say if you want to leave with a bang, buy a freighter, fill it with all the most expensive ships and items in the game then self destruct it, or you could delete the character with all your money, then brag about it here. I wouldn't give it to all the greedy vermin in this thread.
However, if this is another scam, I'm sure you'll make more billions.
