Congratulations Bobby.
Remember guys, at least he didn't blow up your Merlin.

Originally by: Bad Bobby Please ladies and gentlemen give a warm MD welcome to the largest undefeated scammer, comming back from retirement for one last scam. Yes it's...
Baaaaaaaad Bobby!
No. That dog just won't hunt.
No.... Ricdic still holds the trophy.. between 1.2 and 1.45 Trillion..
Nice try though.. The only difference is Ricdic got away with $5,000 of real life money and probably hundreds of billions over the cause of the years and still holds probably 50-100B is ISK and assets locked away, you got away with difficult to sell assets..
Sorry you'll have to create a new alt and try again to score that title.
I guess we'll have to wait for how many accounts you and the rest of the crew allow yourselves to write-off before we'll see your own tally?

Yes, yes, now show us on the ledger where the bad man touched your assets

Originally by: GX307 I'm calling BS on cosmoray.
No, you're a Battleship!
(See what I did there?)
I am wondering if maybe Cosmo is talking about the hysterical slander that can sometimes build around a character once they do something along the lines of what Bobby has just pulled off - and how often it targets the person behind the character instead of the character itself.
I know when Tarac Nor pulled the plug on Ushra'Khan there were all sorts of crazy **** being spouted by the rage brigade.
Some of which was dealt with.

Originally by: Dariah Stardweller Yes, I do think you should. In the end this is all part of the game, no rules were broken. If you really think this is some grey area between RL and fantasy you're not getting it.
Stealing/scamming is no different than blowing someone's ship up. Ship=isk. There simply is no moral difference.
It's funny that I keep hearing that, because I get it quite well. I simply disagree. As I already stated, my opinion is that the scale is relevant. Of course blowing up ships is what the game is about. We all know this. When you joyfully scam a lot of folks for what clearly has a huge equivalent monetary value, I call your personal ethics into question.
If I gave a person my trust, in game or not, and he skated with the isk equivalent of $4000 that I could have used to buy PLEXs... And laughs about it... Well, not being a rich person, that means something to me. I do not buy that a person who does it has a sterling character simply because the medium he used to scam was a game. Because the scale matters.
I didn't say game-scamming should be stopped. I didn't say it should be illegal. I said I believe it is probably a reflection of your real character.
Dead horse beaten.
You talk about actions in-game reflecting on the external character of the player.
If you just sent someone "$4000" of ISK while aware you could very easily never see that ISK again, doesn't that just serve to reflect that you're as much of a sucker as you think the other party is a sinner?

You are correct. Trust is bad.
Not at all what I said, but nevermind

Originally by: zooming But really if anyone thought it was a scam why didn't any of you ever start a thread before this and say what you thought??
...
Originally by: zooming I mean, I had a gut feeling it was a terrible investment but I was lazy and kept the shares, and I got punished for that, no problem, I'll take it.
Despite what you say, you don't appear to be taking it very well. I suggest you re-address your expectations of others here and be prepared to hold your own hand in the future. It should be painfully clear to you now that you're the only person responsible for yourself.
P.S. lol @ you.

Originally by: zooming Cobalt, I really struggle to see the point of your reply.
Playing eve in itself teaches you to hold your own hand and it constantly reinforces you're the only person responsible for yourself.

You spent a significant amount of your post blaming everyone else for not doing your own work for you. That was my observation.
My point was ... nevermind, I doubt an explanation would help you.
