Quote: A scorpion was wandering along the bank of the river, wondering how to get to the other side. Suddenly he saw a fox. He asked the fox to take him across the river.
The fox said, "No. If I do that, you'll sting me and I'll drown."
The scorpion assured him, "If I did that, we'd both drown."
The fox thought about it and finally agreed. So the scorpion climbed up on his back and the fox began to swim. But halfway across the river, the scorpion stung him.
As the poison filled his veins, the fox turned to the scorpion and said, "Why did you do that? Now you'll drown too."
"I couldn't help it," said the scorpion. "It's my nature."
A little back story gents. So... the draw for the Alliance Tournament was made. There was much rejoicing from smaller Alliances who made the cut, and many tears from the larger ones who didn't. Apparantly owning seven million R64s and having six thousand titans qualifies you to enter an unrealistic tournament based on small gang warfare.
So, we're all celebrating and stuff on vent. We cook up a plan to sell our slot to milk more tears from the larger Alliances who didn't make it. Then we get around to turning it into a profit making venture, scamming whoever enters into the deal.
The Sale Thread is created
Many calls for my resignation for the CSM were made etc etc... I'm sure by looking through that thread and the others linked you can dig up far lulzier quotes than I could at this point in time.
So, the bidding ended. The winner was duly contacted. Turns out she was just trolling, as were most of the other bidders. So I ended up chatting with Found Dragon. He seemed like a really nice fellow. To cut a long story short he eventually stumped up the ISK tonight.
I wish there were tears, I really do. Aside from 'that's what I get for trusting a pirate' and 'Are there any CCP employees in your group?' there weren't many amusing quotes.
I wasn't in this for the money, as you can see from my modest fee I took from this endevour. This was a statement. Anybody who knows me instantly knew what I was up to. While the Alliance Tournament is not a sacred institution I wouldn't give up a chance to fly in it for ISK. LACON may die in a fire in the first round, but who cares it'll be fun. I did this to disuade people from buying slots in future, a bit of buyer beware, and unfortunately some pain enhanced learning for Found Dragon.
I've never scammed before and I'll probably never scam again, it's just too much effort... and even though it's internets spaceships money I always feel bad. 3.5 bil isn't an epic amount, but as I said, it's not about the money.

Actually, it was 500 mil for me and 500 mil for Shigsy. I put in all the work and Shigsy had the idea and was the morally corrupt driving force behind the endevour. So yeah, it's all Shigsy's fault. Now 500 mil up after our fee etc.

I have 17 mil, can I help? - I'd tell you why but then I'll have to kill you. And to kill you I'd have to log in. And to log in I'd have to stop browsing these forums. Both you and me knows that'll never happen. |

Lark you have my full support and I believe you are doing a great job of being csm. Plus this was completely unexpected and I thought it was legit. Great job and I'm looking for many more tears.

I thought the tears from people mad at the sale of an alliance slot was good enough but the fact that it was all just a scam just makes it so much funnier. ---

Isn't scamming via the sales forum a bannable offence?

Isn't trolling an awesome thread pretty stupid?
FYI only scams relating to the sale of characters and GTCs are bannable. Anything else is fair game dawg. Please resize your signature to the maximum file size of 24000 bytes. Zymurgist |

Read the rules. Especially number 16 and 17. Scamming ETC and Character Sales is prohibited. Scamming in general is a feature.
