Tamir Lenk Caldari Igneus Auctorita GoonSwarm	Posted - 2009.02.05 23:15:00 - [1] So here is the story: So here is how it began. Step One - Scam Failure So I was cruising recruitment channel this weekend with my neutral alt looking for tasty morsels. I see a guy looking for a high/low sec mining corp. I convo him and ask if 0.0 mining would be attractive. (if only I had these chat logs but v0v). The mark is very interested. The mark has 4 million skillpoints and flies a retriever. Good, good. Can I get that API key because, you know, spiez. Sure. Sadness. The API key shows that the kid has no real ISK. He has been very straightforward so far and pretty cool in chat. I am now agonizing over which way to go with this. I ask for the 100 million. He considers. It is taking awhile, but he is being pretty chill about it. Not indignant about the security deposit but instead tries work it out with me. I decide to switch to recruit mode. Before I can make that switch in chat, the guy puts in an application and sends me 50 mil, explaining that he is willing to come up with the rest by mining. I am impressed with his initiative. This guy could be pretty cool in corp. The scam is going nowhere. I refund the 50 million (no scamming blues) and accept his application. I congratulate him on his demeanor, admit that I was scamming him but had a change of heart. He thanks me and asks why I let him in. I call it karma. Step Two - Clumsy Recruitment RL keeps me from EVE for a day. While I am away, my new recruit comes down to our space, receives a new mining barge from the corp and a quick tour of where we mine. He is eager but not starry-eyed, and people seem to like him. On Tuesday, I log in and get two convos within 30 seconds. First, an IGNE director asks me about the new guy. Turns out he had some red in his history, not straight hostile but he was in a corp that red but left before the corp went red. Something like that. The director has removed his roles (basic hangar, nothing special) and wants my input on kicking him before GIA get all over our backs for stupidly recruiting reds. lol IGNE, etc. Step Three - Win EVE At this point, the situation is embarrassing but NBD. That would be the end of it except for that other convo. It's from the newbie recruit. Chat **** in next reply

Tamir Lenk Caldari Igneus Auctorita GoonSwarm	Posted - 2009.02.05 23:20:00 - [4] Chat ** Quote: [01:30:29] Tamir Lenk > what's up [01:30:46] Harkani > uhh [01:30:47] Harkani > m [01:31:03] Harkani > how happy would you be if I could provide intel about bob? [01:31:46] Tamir Lenk > depends [01:31:55] Tamir Lenk > how do you have intel on BoB [01:32:46] Harkani > ok I am going to be completly honest with you [01:32:52] Tamir Lenk > uh oh . . . [01:33:10] Harkani > my main character is in bob, director, full access to forums and irc and I am sick of the there [01:33:19] Harkani > so Im willing to be a spy for you guys [01:33:35] Tamir Lenk > Seriously, I am sweating bullets now. One convo is grilling me about some minor red history about a guy who just outed himself as a BoB director. I recruited a fing BoB director. What the hell will I do when Goons kick me? I start looking at other MMOs . . . Quote:* [01:35:05] Harkani > Im pretty much sick of everyone thinking bob is awesome when really the average member is ****ed now and the leadership is all emo and cant even stick to a fing plan [01:35:33] Tamir Lenk > how the hell did I change my mind about scamming you and you now tell me you are a BoB director [01:35:46] Harkani > I have no idea [01:36:00] Harkani > but I can provide really good intel [01:36:03] Tamir Lenk > who is this main of yours? [01:36:06] Harkani > and I like it here so far :s [01:36:24] Tamir Lenk > because my paranoia meter is off the charts [01:36:29] Harkani > well Id rather no one knows besides you and me [01:36:40] Harkani > but i can log him in and invite him here if you want [01:37:17] Tamir Lenk > don't do that quite yet . . . not trying to be in a chat with BoB directorate [01:37:26] Tamir Lenk > give me a second to digest OK, how the hell is this not a #$^#%@ set up. He says he is ready to spy, but WTF do I know about spying? Even if he gave me piles of intel, I am too stupid to know what to do with it. Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap. Anyway, I don't want to be the guy that recruited a BoB director, and I am waaay skeptical about this "prize." Seriously, good things do not happen to me. OTOH, I don't want to be the moron that passed on a potential brass ring of intel. So I take a stab at damage control. Quote:* [01:40:58] Tamir Lenk > well, first of all, you know I cannot give you roles or hangar access at all now, right [01:41:11] Harkani > yeah thats fine [01:41:31] Harkani > take away my roles its no big deal [01:41:46] Harkani > well and kick me if you want, but that will be your loss :P [01:42:19] Tamir Lenk > you're killing me on that front [01:42:29] Harkani > how so? [01:42:34] Tamir Lenk > you tempt my tummy with delicious intel [01:42:41] Harkani > [01:42:53] Tamir Lenk > but the timing of all this screams DANGER DANGER Time to get some back up. More to follow.

Tamir Lenk Caldari Igneus Auctorita GoonSwarm	Posted - 2009.02.05 23:27:00 - [6] Scrambling to get this guy into the right hands (definitely not mine) and further verify his status. Quote: [02:19:55] Haargoth Agamar > oh and atlas is moving to querious [02:20:20] Haargoth Agamar > this weekend [02:21:22] Tamir Lenk > Now that I made it to station, I can focus a little more. how would you give access to this intel? [02:21:42] Tamir Lenk > forums and IRC etc.? [02:22:13] Haargoth Agamar > well Id give intel to you, you can give it to whatever intel guys you have [02:23:00] Haargoth Agamar > I dont really want anyone to know who my main is besides you and very few others [02:23:30] Haargoth Agamar > Im sure you can understand why [02:23:37] Tamir Lenk > if this is going to work, we all need to keep that under wraps [02:24:05] Haargoth Agamar > and it could work really really well if we do it right [02:24:40] Tamir Lenk > but I am not a power-Goon, so intel in my hands is kind of useless [02:25:16] Tamir Lenk > I can deliver intel to the right people, and can be the go-between to keep a lid on things [02:25:35] Harkani > that would be good [02:25:36] Tamir Lenk > that will keep the players under wraps [02:26:01] Harkani > the only real issue I see, is if I get busted,I would want to join igne with all my chars [02:26:17] Tamir Lenk > downside is that it puts added time and degrees of separation between the intel and those who use it [02:26:33] Harkani > hmm that is true [02:27:08] Tamir Lenk > I wish we had teamspeak for this, give me second By now some real Goons are involved. The wise and ancient Mittani arrives. He and our new recruit make sweet sweet love. They have a beautiful love child, one truly touched by the gods. You may have read about it.

Goberth Ludwig Caldari North Eastern Swat Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2009.02.06 00:04:00 - [27] One thing doesnt add up tho. This guy was going to get scammed 50 mil by a goon recruiter. Everybody who has been even marginally active in eve / forums know that goons routinely run recruitment scams. Was this director inactive or like, living under a rock? How did he nearly fall for the goon scamming him on recruitment? - Gob
