Zenos	Posted - 2003.08.20 23:55:00 - [61] Edited by: Zenos on 21/08/2003 00:00:20 I think its in bad sport of Roark to to do this. He made the mistake and has to live with it. Just because the other guy doesn't want to give it back, putting up a bounty to cover your mistake is lame. As they say in engineering," measure twice, cut once." And I also agree, putting up 500mil on top of the 100mil makes no sense. It's obvious you can absorb such a mistake.

marius calgar	Posted - 2003.08.21 01:45:00 - [75] Edited by: marius calgar on 21/08/2003 01:45:33 I was going to say something stupid or annoying about TTI but I am lost for words on this one! talk about making someone want to close his account. Grow up please and remember Roark "please count your change as mistakes can not be rectified after you leave the store" leave the guy alone all you have done at this point is either made a new member for M0o or made this guy walk into a Trap. Second option is most likly knowing M0o.
SirMolle	Posted - 2003.08.21 01:45:00 - [76] Ill counter Roark's offer. Anyone who brings me Roarks biomass gets 5 mill. http://team-freelance.com/users/frst/ttidedapoc.jpg

Roark	Posted - 2003.08.21 02:12:00 - [81] Clearly, if Hawkings goes into cahoots and kills himself 100 times to embezzle the money, the deal will be rescinded. I expect to see a variety of people bring me his corpses, and it will be painfully obvious if he makes a secret deal with someone. Such a simplistic plan of clandestine embezzlement is very easily trumped by the guy handing out the dough. Roark - Taggart Transdimensional - www.taggarttd.com

Digital Sin	Posted - 2003.08.21 02:30:00 - [83] so let me get this straight: you haggled with james and could have EASILY just offered him a battleship for the money and lost 50%.... instead, you now choose to lose all that isk, and five times the amount just because he refuses to pay? "To be content,to be comfortable, is to be complacent. No one learns anything from pleasure..pain on the other hand is a most efficient instructor"

Shock	Posted - 2003.08.21 03:03:00 - [89] Edited by: Shock on 21/08/2003 03:35:12 Edited by: Shock on 21/08/2003 03:23:12 Quote: Upon realizing the mistake I contacted Mr. Hawkings who seemed quite shell-shocked, understandably. I told him about my mistake and offered him three things in return for the money: a) Any battleship built for him at cost (a value of 20-40 mil ISK in savings for him). B) 8 miner IIs (a value of 30-40 mil ISK) and c) a 800 million ISK mining contract for his corporation in Korama. BREADCRUMBS!!! An acceptable findersfee would be 10% and free service or something. You are just Scrooge II. That offer of a BYOM bs is just a joke: your only costs are the factory time. So it's practically free for you. I bet there are tons of corps that would offer him the same simply because he pulled a 100M prank on TTi. The miners are nice but hardly cutting it. You say they are worth 4M a piece (which is still one of the highest prices on the market), while everybody knows they are like 50k to produce. So only if he sells them he actually makes any money here. And that mining deal...very very shrewd...even more shrewd then it's greedy. With that 800M mining deal you try to tie his corp into delivering minerals excusively to your own. While everybody seems to forget that: a: battleship production is so mineralconsuming you need practically every mineral offered, especially since you already have problem with this because: b: your prices stink. You buy your minerals below NPC or just barely above it. I wonder if you calculated that 800M with your own prices.

Such a simplistic plan of clandestine embezzlement is very easily trumped by the guy handing out the dough. LMAO LMAO LMAO If someone: - Is dimwitted enough to not doublecheck his buyingorder. Especially when it concerns ISK amounts THAT big (If you didn't run the order yourself you should try to get your money back on that employee instead and fire the personnel manager) - Is trying to get 100M back by offering some breadcrumbs. What makes you think Hawkings doesn't know the real value of your offer? - Is going to pay 500M to get 100M back. Or persuade future lucky bastards to DO give it back (which they likely won't ofcourse) So very likely: - Is never going to see through some smart people coming with Hawking's corpsicles. Roark: Being carefull is very important if you aren't smart. Hawkings: If you play this smart you can get a additional 500M topping on your 100M free snowcone! Other then that...these things are truly the coolest things EVE is about: player created content! And Roark once again has made it even more clear what kind of corp TTi truly is when you scratch the 100M surface. When I reread the honorable mister Roarke's post I remembered that I had the duty as a capitalist to push our wares, so: To everybody reading this bs-pricelist (battleship/bulls**t; pick one): Techell is cheaper and pays bettter prices for minerals as well! --- soonÖ
