I agree wholeheartedly that the "bonus room" is just what Jester described: A torture chamber. I had the "pleasure" of becoming a bonus room contestant earlier this week, and it's just as bad as it sounds.
~~~~snip~~~

I got into the bonus room, and after a bit of discussion, I was promised that I would get five times my investment if I showed complete faith. I didn't want to, but I felt so trapped, and the people in the room were very convincing. I finally began transferring all of my assets - about 5 billion ISK worth - to the members in the room.
~~~~Sorry greedy~~~

After they had all of my assets, they told me that I needed to complete a few additional tasks. Once again, I didn't want to, but I felt like I had no choice, since they had all my assets. I had no idea what to do. They made me read some poetry and sections from various websites.

I thought I was done after this, but NO! I began to be sure that this was a scam,~~~it was the min you trusted ER1~~~ but I had to keep going. I was told to sing various songs. It was so humiliating, but all of my ISK and assets were in their hands. I could feel them laughing at me the whole time. I begged them to stop, but they wouldn't!

I finally gave up. They told me I was close, but I was sure I would have lost anyway in the end. I now have nothing, just a rookie ship, and I don't even know if I want to play EVE anymore. I used to PLEX my account, and I am just a college student, ~~~ then you really should be smarter than this~~~and these guys took everything from me - even my dignity.

Now, I have nothing left, but my Orca alt. Thought about a forum alt to post this, but what difference does it make anymore. With no dignity comes apathy. I am down, but not out, however.

I hope that I eventually can train to do the things I love doing in the game. Mining, missioning, some small gang stuff. But I know it will be a long climb. Those who wish to join me in combating this monster, Erotica 1, are welcome to join my corp. It isn't much, as I don't have much. But hopefully we can show these sociopaths we will not be stomped into oblivion.

**** all you guys that hurt people like me!
