I'm just posting to let people know I will be conducting some pretty massive market manipulation with the money I've saved up the past month. It will be quite a bit larger than any manipulation I've done in the past and will span multiple markets. Just wanted to post this as I know such threads are loved around here. I figure it will be fun to see what effect it has as well. If anyone wishes to join a manipulation in progress you're free to... I can't guarantee I will give you any inside information about how much I am buying or when I plan to sell or at what a mount. I'd suggest if you're interested you watch the market closely and jump into a manipulation quickly... as once I start it will be a crazy ride.
For those wondering, I think this will be a fun way to get the community to help me manipulate some prices... plus it will be a game for me to see if I can out manipulate the community or not. I personally think I can make an even larger profit if everyone here jumps in, thus the reason I'm posting. But if no one else does or if people try to sabotage the manipulation then I am prepared for that as well.
The only hints I'll give is that I will not be manipulating T1 items in any shape or form, if you see that it is not me.

Warning! Warning! Danger of head exploding!
Due to massive buildups of "EGO"(tm), the head of Shadarle(c) has swelled to massive proportions. Resulting in a possible explosion hazzard, MD forum members are scrambling to defuse, the 'Head'.
ps. Please donate your Exotic Dancers to the "Get Shadarle 'laid'." Foundation, he really needs them...

How about you manipulate the slave prices. I've wanted to open a few new operations up and need several thousand dirty minmatar slaves to do all th work. But slave prices are higher than I'd like. So, please manipulate slave prices down, please.

You spend a lot of time monitoring whether he is doing anything ingame or not? I think they call that stalking.....
On another note, he may very well have an alt or two that he spends most of his time cornering the exotic dancers market with rather than using shad for everything.

Not to derail this thread or anything but I've wanted to ask. LRN, why did you stop posting with your other character?

Shadarle is not my only character.
I will not be telling anyone what I'm manipulating, period. This is a game for me, I want to see what I can get away with manipulating and what people catch me on... and if they catch me if it helps or hurts me.
It's more of a market experiment than a money making scheme. I need more data before I launch the IPO I talked about a while back. I have not felt comfortable launching it until I can offer some pretty good assurances it will work out well. Plus I'm having fun playing around with small bits of money (billions) and am ready to bump it up to the 10's of billions. But in the future I'd like to do some in the 100's of billions.
If you send me eve-mail after I've started a manipulation there is a chance I'll confirm it is me or not... but that is as far as I'll go. I do not have time for chatting though, so I will likely deny convo requests.

Pyer maybe, trit is a worthless manipulation as long as shuttles exist. Especially since trit is heading downward for the foreseeable future.

Btw Shad, I like the idea. Sadly I've just got out of the trading game for a while or I'd be tempted to join in.

You're one of the few people I'd actually potentially ask for help if I did launch my IPO, as you have some knowledge of moving goods around.

Till now Shadarle confined himself to post manipulation brags. However due to the fact that in the previous days he didn't bash as many noobs as he'd wanted to and he faced some serious criticism his ego reached a dangerously low level. He desperately needs an EPIC ego boost or we risk losing him.
Hang on buddy, we're doing our best here, we won't let you down.

Smart way to do it. Tell everyone you are doing grand scale manipulation so more people hunt the markets and re-exploit prices. Now of course you aren't telling people where manipulation lies, so when [insert random char] comes to these forums with a [WTF - HAC PRICES GONE UP!!] thread Shadarle can claim to have been the executor of it.

They can just tell him to post screenshots/marketlogs/etc or it didn't happen.

Except I don't care if anyone believes me or not. So I won't be taking credit in the first place. Ricdic's point was that others would be attributing manipulations to me when they might not be mine. He is probably right, some will mistakenly do so, but that is not my concern. It makes it more fun for me to know I have a bunch of people trying to catch me. The most important aspect to me is the time it takes to get caught and just how much of a manipulation it takes to get caught.

Good luck Shad - but it sounds like your already at the point where notions of failure and success have become irrelevant.

Edited by: Alex555 on 04/04/2008 21:35:01 I bet that Shadarle is not playing with any t1 market. ThatĘs for sure. It wasn't even worth mentioning that. I think he plays with materials. It can be either processed ones or advanced ones. Recent changes on the market indicate that more likely someone is playing with processed materials. These are my guesses it's risky, but it is a natural trend in rising prices of everything that deals with dysprosium. Thus it may help. A wise manipulator has to ride a wave which goes up anyways.
