Posting to confirm this ISD group needs to get a new hobby.
Just so I'm clear on how something becomes news:
1. Create character
2. State unoriginal idea, but that you're going to do it better(with no real information as to how you are going to accomplish this)
3. Get login screen news item
4. Profit?
For the record, I will be creating a veldspar mining business which will surpass even that of Chribba's. I can see the headline now: "Extra! Extra! Amarr Citizen to corner veldspar market in a round economy!"
/me waits for a reporter to pick the story up...

Well this has now made the news on the login screen. Even with quotes from Raw23 and Chribba!!
Who wants to take bets on how much ISK he will get before he folds up and walks??
And apparently my statement was formulated a bit differently than how I expressed myself. So just to clarify, I do not endorse or in any other way affiliate with this bank, my statement was a purely suggestive way of what's needed for any bank or public service in order for from my view be able to bulid a steady base.
/c
Although I assumed this to be the case, the reporter sure did a great job of making it look like you endorsed this or advised in some way.

I am becoming appreciative of this scam as time goes by.
Although ISD does not endorse what they write, by placing on the logon screen it psychologically implies that it is endorsed by CCP/ISD. By quoting Chribba that is the cherry on the cake.
The real work of genius is to get ISD to report this story. If it had remained solely an MD launch it would have got the death it deserves, but the ISD report is a fantastic manipulation.
ISD interviewed one of the perps on July 28th, which is well before the official launch although there may have been a heads up MD thread (can't remember). I wonder who's idea it was to get Chribba input? The bank or ISD?
This is a great social manipulation, and ISD fell for it. Guerilla marketing at its finest.
I was contacted by ISD to comment on this new "competition" for EBANK and decided not to respond, although I did post about it in the EBANK thread. I'm glad I didn't comment because who knows how much worse this could have been...
"Look there, Amarr Citizen approves of this new bank and isn't he a part of that other fine example of Eve banking success! Where do I send all my isk?"
A truly dangerous situation indeed. Luckily it was only Chribba who was misrepresented.
