Hello all. I'm new to the forums (though not to that game) and just thought I'd pop in and say hello. Much of the dealings here seem to rely heavily on name recognition and forum reputation so I might as well start putting in face time now. I look forward to dealing with you all....well....not all, but some.

The first rule of Rep Club is you don't talk about Rep Club.
Start a new toon, try again.

You most likely should have waited until you actually had something to say besides a post that amounts to nothing more than "hi guise wazgoinon". _

Yup, they do. Unfortunately it's considered taboo to admit it. MD's conventional wisdom includes the following tidbits of wisdom, and I'm not sure which I find funniest/saddest:
1) Name recognition = time sunk into building up a name = trustworthiness. Rep therefore matters. Don't badmouth people that have been around longer than you or the community will punish you for it.
2) Never admit that rep matters. Doing so means someone will point out it makes no sense (what, the scammers aren't aware this is how it works too?) and you'll look stupid.
3) You earn points for correctly predicting that a new venture will fail or that a new name is a scammer. You earn no points for correctly predicting the opposite. Therefore, everything is a horrible idea and everyone, especially everyone new, is as scammer.
Anyway, welcome, and try not to put too much weight on the comments from the trolls. (Once you realize most of the folks are trolls to some extent, you'll have figured the place out.)

I would dispute that dealings depend on name recognition. They depend on trustworthiness. This is a difficult quality to gauge but a component of it is being competent enough to not have to depend on scams for self sufficiency, and on actually having something to say.
Post hi a thousand times and you will have name recognition, but you will not be able to deal with anyone.
Post something insigthful and or useful 5, and itll be quite the opposite.
Some people act like its all about rep, and it may be, but just like IRL you don't get rep (or respect, or anything really) by asking for it.
In fact, the common human response to having someone ask for such things is to distrust them, for obviously they can't want it for anything good if its a purpose in itself.
And really, having the reputation of someone that asks for reputation doesn't lead anywhere. Go make a new disaster, that's what I'm counting on. You're someone else's problem, now I only want you gone... |

Welcome to MD. You've had great feedback so far, however good advice to the wrong person can be a very dangerous thing.
Good luck with all your market endevours.

IMO this thread is par for the course in terms of typical eve-o thread quality.

Don't say anything until you have something to say, but when you do have something to say nobody will listen to you because you haven't said anything before and nobody knows who you are.
Got it ;)
