You mention three "investors" by name. The first one (Zumbar Excubitor) is a recently created (June 2013) alt.

The second one (SteveX) is a 2005 character that has never left the npc corp, never made a forum post, never killed or lost a ship and who hasn't created a new character portrait yet (can you even log in to send around ISK without doing that?). Pretty likely he hasn't touched EVE in years.

The third one (Zleapa) doesn't exist - however, there is a character called Zumbar Zleapa Excubitor which is ... curious.

Scammers these days... can't even be bothered to burn a couple of alts for the prospect of 100b.

@ Vera Algaert. Good to see people being theral. When I took HTX, I had to pick German or another subject, don't recall if it was French or something else. So I had to do German for at least 1 year. I don't recall if it had anything to do with the max number of "A" subjects one could take.
About the olympics. I had the highest score turned in with 94% I think it was, the professional physisists had around 90%. So, naturally I was selected. I however chose not to participate due to personal reasons. You can talk to me ingame about it, but I prefer not having to - again - pull something personal up on this forum.

Fathers day?


Now i know why everyone left the house early this morning .....

What makes it funnier is anyone can quickly look up the local spelling bee winner and assume his identity for e-credibility.

Its 2013 eve online guys, no loans unless you show a timestamped photo yourself holding 100 points of ID +

rules are rules, in this game of "rl"

I believe that real-life identities should not be a factor in MD offerings. But if someone tries to leverage his (real or fictional) rl identity in order to "overcome" (in the widest sense possible) the trust issues his in-game identity is facing then he is in my opinion fair game.

The only recent cases in which I remember striking out at real-life personas are this thread, the EVE Stock Exchange thread and Vaughn Lampen's thread. The Vaughn Lampen thing was admittedly badly handled on my part as Pepridge went wild with speculation I had shared with him. In the other two cases the issue of real-life identity was brought up by the thread creators themselves, imho in an attempt to increase their perceived trustworthiness beyond what game mechanics and MD custom would allow them.

I'm not running around asking random thread creators for their ID, I rather wish real-life identities were simply left out of MD altogether.

@ Vera Algaert. You are taking personal information into this thread from my blog, not me. Admitted, I use the blog to link to, but you could have raised the matter in person, instead of dragging it into this public thread. Some issues are just too dumb to discuss with people like you. I bet noone has ever won an arguement over you, am I right? Because you wont accept people making valid points that make your points look weak. You have made your opinion, and I am 100% sure that even if I invited you over to my house, showed you the letter from the school, showed you screenshots of anything I have done, gave you the names of the investors, it would not make you change one bit.

Luckily for me, other people have different opinions. Sadly for me, only a very few wish to show their in-game names. Probably because people like you will start flaming them. I respect their wish to stay anonymous, even though I would really like being able to use them as references.

*Edit* did not see the last part you wrote, but thank you for not being 100% troll and staying in

- Please let the matter rest, or we can discuss it in mail, in-game conversation. This thread is already getting cluttered as it is. Peter Hansen

If you need a 100% troll i can fill in.

Vera already pointed all the stuff that make you look stupid, im here only to ask: did you actually think it will work?

Someone needs to write an "advanced scamming guide" because its pathetic. This is not jita local, we want something sophisticated!

A sophisticated scam is rarely justified.

Attempting to convince a sober, cautious and intelligent player to do something stupid is a difficult way to scam.

Trawling through the many drunk, stoned, stupid, ignorant, naive, greedy and impatient players will give a much better return on the effort invested.

Nonsenese a lot of us are married ....


But then most where seduced while drunk .

Admiral Pizzaroll would like a word

6bil for 10 minutes of extremely low quality scamming work seems like a pretty reasonable justification from the perspective of most scammers and we are currently being inundated by crap offerings seeking to emulate him (/tinfoil).
