yes believe it or not a big typo on the part of TTI put 100mil in the hands of me, the poor guy who hasn't seen over 3 mil before the incident, so now TTI is made that i don't give it back out right,
their deal was i get to buy bs at cost from them if i give back the 100mil. right.......... so i am running :) wish me luck eve

Amusing to say the least...
A bit of a muck up on TTi's side, not quite the honest trader on yours.
Easy come, easy go... may the best rabbit elude the fox longest!

one other thing i need to add. i've also been told by TTI that they will go to war with my corp if i don't hand the money back over. which sucks, why does my corp suffer for their mistake? i'd rather them just hunt me

Hahaha! I would probably do the same thing. Normal that youd run with the money, and normal that the guys who lost it get ****y. Though I would at least attempt to offer you a better deal than buying a BS at cost

Hmm, threats are easy.
One wonders if TTi actually has a Warring spot left.
One wonders even more if they are willing to risk yet another War spot filled to eternity because the targetted corp doesn't wish to surrender.
An old proverb about dogs and barking comes to mind... but a wise postman carries some pepper spray anyways.

I don't think you have much to worry about James, TTI couldn't take out a 3 or 4 man/woman corp and were run out of Lonetrek and empire space.
I'd ignore empty threats and spend, spend, spend

just start a new corp with different name. it's worth the 100mil 
i don't really think it was wrong on your part either. buyer beware as always and always check your prices. TTI just suck it up and move on.
besides, i thought they were already maxed out on the amount of wars the could be in.

HOW did this happen?
Don't tell me a TTI guy saw a sell order for 1 trit @ 100 mil and entered "1" in amount-to-buy...

james, there's nothing wrong on your part, keep the money, if tti keep harassing you by sending mail/convo, report it as harassment. if they start a war, just make a new corp, and tell tti screw it.

lol. Well, one thing for sure... no one can any longer accuse TTi of trying to drive the market prices down into the ground. :s
... btw, i happen to have one unit of Pyerite in my cargo; will happily part with it for just 400 millions, a real bargain. :s

there's nothing to blame james, the only way that might happen is tti set a buy order:100m for 1 tri instead 100m tri for 1isk each. james then fulfill the order. He did the honest trade, why you want to blame him?

i'm sorry what james did can in no way be considered stealing. no tricks or anything. he set his price and somebody whether mistake of not filled it. PERIOD
they made a mistake. their fault. it's not up to james to forgive them.
keep the money. is they harass u. report them. if your character is not too old. make a new one. he he.

I agree with the first part, it's up to the player to decide whether to give it back or not. I would (and have done so in the past) as trust is worth far more than 100M in the long term. Personally I would have offered something real in return, not just the offer to build at cost, but that's TTi for you.
On the second part, TTi are well within their rights to attack and kill you and all your corp mates and the members of any corporation you ever join in the future until the money is returned. That isn't harassment, that's you living with the consequences of your actions just as they will have to live with losing 100M. In fact the filing of a harassment petition in that case would in fact be a case of harassment in itself.

Keep the money and run.
So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak. |

My good Sir, am I blaming him? Not at all. Perhaps my stance did not came across as English is not my first language.
Someone with, say, an alignment of Lawful-Good, would return the money gained... Lawful-Neutral would for a profit.
What I am not saying is that he should return it. I know I wouldn't.
Easy are gains
Bank account ripens like fruit
A fault is not there

hehe opps :P
If TTI offered me somthing tangible, some nice weapons or some Miner II's to sell on or use, i would ahve given it back..but a Bship at cost?? thats just been cheap.
If i were you i would negociate something abit better than a cost bship, they know full well you could just start a new char and they would never find out who it was.

NICE ONE... hihi
Know what i would do...
I would bet it all on the Big lottery. And get one hell of a good chance at the 75mil pot that is now. Then i would return the 100mil and keep the 75mil.
BUT then you could lose the 100 mil... Easy come easy go.

Surely if you did that you would spend 100mil on tickets and get 75mil for winning? losing 25mil
I would guess what happened was instead of putting up a buy order for 1mil trit @ 1 isk, someone put a buy order up for 1 trit @ 1mil isk. This person will proberbly be being punished right now, I had wondered why Ragnar had borrowed all of niwaie's leather whips and other assorted bondage gear :-)
