I believe that real-life identities should not be a factor in MD offerings. But if someone tries to leverage his (real or fictional) rl identity in order to "overcome" (in the widest sense possible) the trust issues his in-game identity is facing then he is in my opinion fair game.

The only recent cases in which I remember striking out at real-life personas are this thread, the EVE Stock Exchange thread and Vaughn Lampen's thread. The Vaughn Lampen thing was admittedly badly handled on my part as Pepridge went wild with speculation I had shared with him. In the other two cases the issue of real-life identity was brought up by the thread creators themselves, imho in an attempt to increase their perceived trustworthiness beyond what game mechanics and MD custom would allow them.

I'm not running around asking random thread creators for their ID, I rather wish real-life identities were simply left out of MD altogether.

@ Vera Algaert. You are taking personal information into this thread from my blog, not me. Admitted, I use the blog to link to, but you could have raised the matter in person, instead of dragging it into this public thread. Some issues are just too dumb to discuss with people like you. I bet noone has ever won an arguement over you, am I right? Because you wont accept people making valid points that make your points look weak. You have made your opinion, and I am 100% sure that even if I invited you over to my house, showed you the letter from the school, showed you screenshots of anything I have done, gave you the names of the investors, it would not make you change one bit.

Luckily for me, other people have different opinions. Sadly for me, only a very few wish to show their in-game names. Probably because people like you will start flaming them. I respect their wish to stay anonymous, even though I would really like being able to use them as references.

*Edit* did not see the last part you wrote, but thank you for not being 100% troll and staying in

- Please let the matter rest, or we can discuss it in mail, in-game conversation. This thread is already getting cluttered as it is. Peter Hansen

Someone needs to write an "advanced scamming guide" because its pathetic. This is not jita local, we want something sophisticated!

Attempting to convince a sober, cautious and intelligent player to do something stupid is a difficult way to scam.

A sophisticated scam is rarely justified.

Attempting to convince a sober, cautious and intelligent player to do something stupid is a difficult way to scam.

Trawling through the many drunk, stoned, stupid, ignorant, naive, greedy and impatient players will give a much better return on the effort invested.

Nothing can justify doing it poorly.

6bil for 10 minutes of extremely low quality scamming work seems like a pretty reasonable justification from the perspective of most scammers and we are currently being inundated by crap offerings seeking to emulate him (/tinfoil).

Just wanted to give kudos where they're due. MD would benefit from a bit more energetic policing.
