Except now you've told them all about it...

Getting rejected from corp applications because you have too many corps in your history? Or maybe you did something else in your past that gave you a reputation you can't shake off. How does one get rid of this?

Easy. All you need to do is make a post in the character bazaar.
With this character, say character #1 (on account #1), make a thread in the character bazaar advertising it for sale. Allow some time for other people to place bids, etc. on this character. Then with another character on the same account, make a higher bid than everyone else. Pretend to accept this bid with character #1, and mark the thread as SOLD. Additionally you could do other things to make it more believable, like indicate the transfer has begun, character received, send evemails back and forth, etc.

Then, when somebody rejects your corp application or gives you trouble because of your reputation or corp history, simply show them the thread in the character bazaar and explain that the character was bought so you're not the same person.
They'll never know the difference. ;)

It's not, as a specific scenario, against the rules per se; but its something of a risk.

Doesn't matter how many times you buy/sell a character. If someone is dumb enough to say, accept a former Goon then they get what they deserve.

I look at corp history, regardless of who owns the character. if it has a questionable past then DENIED!

Please explain. What, exactly, do you get if you let a former goon in your corp?

I've never ganked anyone. I've never scammed anyone. I've never actually done anything to anyone. I build ****.

I've got a better reputation and history then asshats like you who have a hard on for people like me, just because I'm in goonwaffe.

That and I have alts that are clean, you no nothing about, and could be in your corp right now; just waiting.

I don't know if there are other ways (than old-style api keys) for a 3rd party to get your userid and verify it (you yourself can get it from the debug monitor or your settings files) but I wouldn't rule out the possibility that such ways exist and are used.

Actually I'm pretty sure this is to a violation of the EULA. Currently there is a section that prohibits you from pretending be any person other than yourself. To pretend to be another player is against the EULA. And if your saying you are someone else from who you are (ie, to pretend your character was sold and your not the person who owned the character in the first place), then it's pretty much the same thing.

Now obviously there is little CCP can actually do in game to stop people from doing this, so it's a fine line. Also, so long as you don't physically say your not the same person you could be all right... but I still wouldn't risk it. But if your forced to say "No, I didn't own this character before then", then it's a straight up violation.

Edit: Apparently it's not in the EULA. I checked it to be sure. However, I do know that when a scammer claims to be another indevidual for the purposes of a scam it is considered an exploit and I believe people have been banned for it before. I'll have to check the forums for where it says that though.

There's a difference between pretending to be someone you're not, and pretending not to be who you are.

So... spies are breaking the EULA?

Pretending not to be who you are, would that not imply pretending to be someone you're not?

Ey wot ya know, brudda? No rude boy be scopin dis ting, seen? Respect

No, because the difference is pretending to be someone else (as in if I were to pretend to be Chribba or The Mittani or someone else who plays eve) can cause damage to their reputation, while pretending to be some alter ego person who doesn't actually exist doesn't have the potential to unfairly hurt anyone.

That's why europeans can freely travel over whole Europe and i need to get visa for the same purpose.

I know that's what the rule was probably created for, but the literal word "else" simpley means "other than". So if you pretending to be someone else, your just pretending to be someone who isn't you and that's all. It wouldn't mean to pretend to be anyone specific. I know it's just semantics and arguably a pointless discussion given the likely intention of the rule... but what really counts is whether CCP make this distinction.

Only in GD can a thread like this turn into a place for people to cry about Goons.

For those that don't know or don't understand the eula.
It is talking about impersonating someone else. Ie making people think you are someone else to ruin their reputation etc.

Hiding who you really are is different

Still would not take the guy. Who buys a character with a terrible corp history??

Biomass!

former Goon

Bad past? Here's how to deal with it.

What do I get if I let in a Goon, I'll tell ya, I get screwed.
