Siigari Kitawa Gallente The Aduro Protocol	Posted - 2009.10.02 13:46:00 - [1] I was just talking with my friend and he has been rather successful in life.

Rakshasa Taisab Caldari Sane Industries Inc. Novus Auctorita	Posted - 2009.10.02 13:57:00 - [7] Originally by: Siigari Kitawa LOL 1,571,877,679,336.95 ISK I got a billion zillion dollars to spend on GTC's. (Does his part to crash the GTC market)
Korizan Red Mercury Incorporated	Posted - 2009.10.02 13:59:00 - [8] I wouldn't worry about it. I am sure there is a cap on how many GTC can be sold over a period of time. IF he tryed to purchase that many GTC's I am sure he would find it. Then he has to sell them all. A case of supply exceding the demand. What he could do it drive the price of GTC thru the floor. Can anyone say 100 Mill or less for 60 day GTC A
Zaerlorth Maelkor The Maverick Navy Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2009.10.02 14:00:00 - [9] If he somehow managed to offhand so many GTC's at a reasonable price, it would definitely number him amongest the richest in EVE, I doubt it would be enough to make him thee richest though. However, you might want to consider a few things, first of all; I now have one of those annoying sigs. second; you should probably move on to some more interesting things than reading this sig.

A trillion isn't really that vast an amount of money in the grand scheme of things, it has little chance of upsetting the eve economy, look at the moongoo exploit of a couple of years ago, that was generating much more money than this and that didn't cause vast upheavals. Besides, you'll be one among many with all those people getting mails from CCP letting them know they have several trillion in their wallets ------------------------------------------------ You either need a punch up the throat or a good shag.

S: a lot, <snip more bad math></snip> Ok just clicking thru the process it looks like you can only do 6 GTCs once every 24 hrs anyway for like $150ish. It'd take 2 years of buying/selling them. Something seems off there too tbh since that'd be about 1.7B every day (assuming you could sell them all every day for current prices around 300M). And lol at zillion/quadrillion/etc comments
Urxach	Posted - 2009.10.02 14:45:00 - [14] Originally by: Cory Sopapilla Originally by: Siigari Kitawa S: $100,000 J: good luck selling those GTCs then lmao S: that'd be 1,571,877,679,336.95 ISK <snip> bad math section</snip> J: exactly HOW many GTCs is that?

Something seems off there too tbh since that'd be about 1.7B every day (assuming you could sell them all every day for current prices around 300M). And lol at zillion/quadrillion/etc comments What are you talking about? I regularly order 20-40 60 day GTCs at a time. These GTCs convert fine into plexes, and they sell quickly in that format, especially if you do them at multiple market hubs. There are plenty of people who are turning a minimum of 5 to 10 billion ISK a month in PLEX alone, and a small percentage of people (probably half a percent) that are doing 20+ billion. Based on the last QEN and some very conservative estimation, there is somewhere on the order of 170 trillion ISK of real money in circulation. This doesn't include assets at all, which jacks up this number significantly. I think you could easily see 500-700 trillion ISK in EVE. The number is probably much higher. $100,000 is nothing in terms of revenue for CCP. CCP makes $4.5M a month conservatively on EVE. $100K is a drop in the bucket, though it does represent about 5,000 accounts.
Mathilde D'Arc	Posted - 2009.10.02 14:47:00 - [15] I'm horribly addicted to Eve and all but spending that much dolla on isk is just tragic. You should be planning an intervention not encouraging him. Of course he is welcome to do what he likes but just

Ann Can	Posted - 2009.10.02 17:12:00 - [22] Hrm, your friend needs some advice. First, if he came into a enough money that he can spend it on some game, 100,000 USD you say. Then his RL is going to be pretty easy from now on. Sooner or later he will be bored if too many things are too easy. Eve play has consequences. If he just has a throw away money, then where is the challenge, where is the sense of accomplishment? It's a game that delivers a sense of accomplishment because there is also the possibility of loss. If he circumvents that, then frankly, why play?
Emperor Cheney Celebrity Sex Tape	Posted - 2009.10.02 17:28:00 - [23] ugh. There are people starving right now. At least do the half decent thing and live in excess in proper dissolution. Wasting thousands on a video game is just sad.
Schani Kratnorr x13 IT Alliance	Posted - 2009.10.02 17:33:00 - [24] I think the question is: "how much ISK is too much?"
Synex Gallente BIG	Posted - 2009.10.02 17:33:00 - [25] Wasn't there some Russian oil magnate who already did this? Spend like $100,000 + on ISK. Crazy crazy. Synex Oursulaert Industries

These GTCs convert fine into plexes, and they sell quickly in that format, especially if you do them at multiple market hubs. You're probably right. I was just looking at the purchasing page showing a dropdown of only 3 options and a once every 24 hr thing in the notes I found somewhere on google.
NickSuccorso Arcana Imperii Ltd. Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2009.10.02 18:09:00 - [27] Eh, it's been done.
Bklyn 1	Posted - 2009.10.02 18:16:00 - [28] If someone is truly considering dropping that kind of a money on a video game rather than helping friends/family/charity, they are pathetic and in need of some serious help.
000Hunter000 Gallente Missiles 'R' Us	Posted - 2009.10.02 18:33:00 - [29] Err... If i had a 100k USD, i would not spend it all on gtc's I mean, EVE is a great game and all, but... theres more in life u know. ________________________________________________

Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire	Posted - 2009.10.02 18:37:00 - [30] That's a whole lot more than 850... and on topic, tbh even if he did spend that amount of gtc, it'd take years to sell off so I seriously doubt it would make any difference at all. Secure 3rd party service

Artemis Rose Sileo In Pacis The Space P0lice	Posted - 2009.10.02 18:47:00 - [31] Tell your friend to take a deep look at his life if he plans on spending that kind of monies on internet pixels. Ego boost all you want about being wealthy, it is an incredibly poor way to waste your money. Buy a car, boat, go to dinner, donate to charity, commission a statue to show the world how cool you are, make wallpaper, anything. *** Currently Playing: Trolls from Outer Space Current Equipment: VISAcard chain mail, +2 Amulet of Epic Whine, Self Banstick +2 WTB: +666 E-peen killboard stats

Spaztick Terminal Impact Kairakau	Posted - 2009.10.02 19:03:00 - [33] Tell your friend to invest in real estate, he'd be far better off and if he has kids (he's rich so some hot chicks are gonna want to crawl all over him for his money) they can play EVE forever. He could amass an army of EVE pilots to do his bidding, making an unstoppable allaince with unlimited ISK, powered by PLEXÖ. But that's only if he's not an idiot and invests in real estate.

Considering the market... I'd say no. Unless he finds a place with low property tax and he can pay it all off in one go and that he plans to live there then yes. Otherwise if I had $100,000 go is buy $25,000 in a money market, $25,000 in physical gold, $25,000 in stocks and $25,000 in cash. This is not financial advice. ;) I wouldn't spend more than $100 on plex a year unless I won the lotto and had a few million, but then I would be a ninja about it and not let anyone know.

Q Command	Posted - 2009.10.02 20:26:00 - [36] The people replying with 'you shouldn't spend the money on a game because something else is important' are idiots. Obviously you have never come into substantial amounts of money (probably never will either) and as such wouldn't be able to comprehend why someone would do such a thing. To put it another way, what you consider a large sum of money is just pocket change to some of us. Our 'entertainment' budgets, extravagant to mere working class society slaves, are called 'excessive', 'inappropriate' or even 'sickening' by those who can only relate from a position of impotence. So if the guy wants to dump his entertainment dollars on a game, then so be it. Some retorts since I am feeling bored: 1. To the person/people who say it is a waste of money and the money could be better used feeding the hungry: - It isn't his fault people are poor, lazy or downtrodden so why should he be responsible to fix their situation? 2. To the person/people who suggested investing it in some useless endeavor: - Hate to tell you this but your advice just sucks. Chances are he knows how to invest money better than you do, after all he has it and you don't. Those of us who know how to make money don't need advice from the lemmings that we manipulate. 3. To everyone, understand that money has no value, especially to those of us who do have it. You have been conned into believing money is something of importance; it is the way society keeps you a slave. Once you understand the true value of money you can release yourself from the bonds that shackle you into a life that is useless, unimportant and indirectly controlled by another entity. So power to the guy, but he would probably be better off hiring a team of people to sell off all the gtcs. Mind you, 100k isn't all that much tbh.

Liz Laser Vanishing Point. The Initiative.	Posted - 2009.10.02 21:10:00 - [42] Edited by: Liz Laser on 02/10/2009 21:13:07 Best use of $100,000 in Eve: Rent a real world office, network some computers, create a bunch of accounts, hire some minimum wage workers, and have instant "ops" at your beck and call of whatever flavors you prefer. Mining ops, POS warfare, Suicide Ganks, Gate camps, Roams, etc. Get other players to join your corp/alliance for even more help and fun. Because there is always something fun and social going on, you'll have tons of player participation, probably to the point that your employees are far outnumbered. By the time you run out of salary money, you'll have such an active social corp (and be fabulously isk-wealthy from your employees' farming) that you won't need the employees anymore.
En Passant	Posted - 2009.10.02 21:24:00 - [43] For that much money you could probably buy your own isk farming company and have unlimited amounts of isk, instead of being limited to a mere quadrillion.
Saartje Sarel	Posted - 2009.10.02 23:33:00 - [44] 100k of real money. if I came into 100k I wouldnt be giving eve online much of a second thought on my way out the door.

Money markets and Gold are currently poor guys. Holding cash is not a good buyu so gold MIGHT be better, stocks and bonds are okay, and other de-valued commoditys should be good to invest in atm.. Buying gold at it's peak isnt probably a great idea, sure there might be 5% more growth, but there's likely to be about a 25% drop by this time next year. ----------- Never Forget

AF 447	Posted - 2009.10.03 05:44:00 - [51] Edited by: AF 447 on 03/10/2009 05:45:02 With that money I would buy cars, or invest in something cooler. Getting that amount of isk in a game will make it seriusly boring and probably frustating once you start making bad desicions. Also it would be worst if someone steals from a corp he gonna make 3/4 of your "money" from the inside of your "isk company". And consider that will suck if CCP M3GA bans all you corp, accounts, etc etc.... Just buy what you need in the basis.

Originally by: OP My friend recently inherited some rl $ Epic fail extremus. First off, your tl;dr fails. You would have had to read in order to, as you put, 'bolded' the quote. The 'revelation of being an idiot' is another fail; with truth be told that I was right, as usual. At least I point out in a clear concise manner where you are an idiot. As for being 'rich', your self claim is fine as you can define what rich is and isn't by your own standard. By my own standard on the other hand, I doubt that you are, even with mommy and daddy's help. You see whereas independently wealthy people have full control of their finances, spoiled brats still have to beg for the handouts.... Notes: Siig indicated later on in the thread that this individual became wealthy through investing...
Space Pinata Amarr Discount Napkin Industries	Posted - 2009.10.05 12:04:00 - [53] Someone who can cut it as a trader in reality, yet also too incompetent to amass wealth through simplified game trading. Much more satisfying to cheat through it. I also doubt the credibility of an investor who can't figure out the difference between a trillion, quintillion, and 'zillion'. tl;dr: You're all getting trolled.
adfadfadfawe	Posted - 2009.10.05 12:12:00 - [54] It is fun to entertain absurd things like this. On a serious note, would whoever he inherited this money from want him to spend their money like that? Most people that leave money to someone when they die have an expectation that the person inheriting their money will appreciate it. Spending $100,000 on virtual money for the novelty of it doesn't seem very appreciative. Get a little more out of the money than that, or donate it to someone who will. Also see, Div's Happy Hour
