I redact my previous claim. Good comment, sir! You may keep the milk and cookies.

I have a lover, her name is EVE. I see her every night and all she asks in return is that I have a pilot's license.

The stupidity some of you people demonstrate is utterly staggering Lol

I mean, come on...Shocked what is wrong with you people falling for this ****???? What?
Sov-scams and such i can understand could happen to any of us... but this? Cry

Though you declared war on us Erotica (hows that working out btw?) i gotta thank you on a personal note for scamming these less than smart numb-nuts out of their isk, and also to collect their tears in this thread for CEO's all over to have a list on who to NOT let into corp.




Well, if you look at the war you will see that as of me writing this my little corp is actually beating your alliance both in isk and ships. I'm still laughing at my forgetfulness regarding the 1 minute rule on logoffs... logging into to your login camp and losing that navy apoc was pretty funny lol

I'm sure we will have more losses, but it's kind of funny that's the only ship you guys have killed yet despite many of your hunting parties on the field, and we've killed what like 5 of your ships and 2 pods? I hope you're looking forward to a few months of war as much as I am!

Also, I greatly appreciate everyone's patience regarding doubling isk as this war has led to some delays.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

Lol... You are right Lol

Our hi-sec industrial fleet seems to be at a disadvantage against you there for sure Blink
Gotta admit i did get kinda impressed when the miners killed your Napoc though P

Due to certain unfortunate incidents i am no longer allowed in hi-sec, but if you would be so kind to come down with the mighty few to where i reside, we could engage in some pvp Big smile If that is what you really want Blink
However i do suspect that is not your goal here is it? Pirate

I'm just confused how this remains open yet an identical scam double isk post was closed for being irrelevant to section.

Does nothing more than makes this scam look legit.

Thanks to everyone who has been very patient with me during this war, as some doubles have been delayed.

There was a short period we were getting close to even, but with some fresh and hungry blood joining our side every day, the scales are tipping ever further in our favor! Not even counting the 2nd war against our enemies, we are up about 3 to 1 in isk and over a 7:1 ship ratio.

I am so glad so many people have found me 1st before losing all their isk to those criminal scammers in Eve! I hope everyone is putting their doubled, tripled etc isk to good uses!

"Greetings"

I had the misfortune of conversing with a member of EntroPraetorian Aegis in Amarr Local earlier today.

All i can say is he was an unsavoury individual exuding anger management issues and had a mouth so foul it would put most inebriated emo teenage delinquents to shame.

Good to see the war worked out in your corps favour as based on the conduct I witnessed earlier I can only assume that most of the eggs in the basket will certainly be rotten in that alliance.

Nice to see that business is now back to usual however.

Just wish I had not already invested 3 times so I could play your game again Big smile

With Christmas now looming on the horizon hopefully you might consider a seasonal offer for those that have played before ?

That would've been funny if you had actually edited the original message. But seeing how you didn't, not funny.

I have a lover, her name is EVE. I see her every night and all she asks in return is that I have a pilot's license.

First and foremost it should be blatantly obvious that this is a scam, and somewhat better than others that I've seen but still very easy to spot. I am only posting this for newer and slower players as many vets will find this laughable (Stupid players are not veteran players) The reason this scam is somewhat clever is because Erotica 1 (just like a casino) knows that people wont continue to play unless there is somewhat of a payout. She claims that she makes money off of idiots who don't follow the rules (good cover), but the only idiots are those who get greedy and play too much money (also very similar to casino). I find that lower amounts tend to pay out. This is because it reassures the player that the scam is actually a real game and tempts them to play further with larger amounts of money. Erotica 1 has paid out multiple times for lower amounts such as 50m-400m. (notice she plans on getting rid of the 50m minimum because its too low, and she doesn't make enough from it) The first and second games can pay you out to almost 1 billion ISK, and to a semi new player who has 1 bil ISK total, that is a VERY large amount. So making that much tempts them to play a third time. Then that third gamble goes straight to her pockets. Another clue to this scam losing popularity is that she has added the hope of a 4th investment. This is because people got smart and realized she only pays out for the first two investments, so they would only play two games. By adding the 4th investment the game has added a very sketchy "safety net" to making a 3rd investment. Honestly people the most solid reason you should see this as a scam is that right off the bat it seems WAY too good to be true. When something seems too good to be true, it usually is. With the high learning curve that eve has, it already scares off idiots. After that you have new players who don't really have enough to play (even a new player can spot this, like i said most idiots don't play eve). And the only thing left which could possibly explain peoples inability to spot this (which i will also include myself in) Is that they are blinded be greed. Even a smart player will make a bad decision when they get a sniff of riches. So don't let yourself be fooled. Anyone who just gives away money wouldn't have money for long. She says she makes money off of idiots who don't follow rules. That is partly true, she does make money off idiots. But the idiots are the people who play. :) I myself have played with many characters. I have made money. Like I said she doesn't just stiff arm the whole player base or people would stop playing. So whether real players or her alts are the one replying that, "shes legit" is really irrelevant. The lottery is real, but barely anyone ever wins.

This. I got greedy and sent third amount of 800 mil. And there goes story about .10's spam and sending another amount just to be sure. Eve is a harsh place if you are a idiot or greedy, or both, like me.
