I actually don't know much about Erotica1 other than the stuff that's blown up around him in the last bit. I think Ricimer Scipio (Spelling?) is more interesting and I like his infiltration and tracking/intel. But what he does could be called 'sadistic' especially the way he remains polite when people are #$$@!$%&!$#(%! raging at him.

I think Erotica1 probably is at the lower end of the range of scammers, but the two are basically doing the same thing? Could Ricimer get banned if someone makes a big deal about him? That's what I'm basically asking?

Keep it in game then yes.

Get your jollies out of game and well you're mental and bai!

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

A) this thread should be locked
B) if there is a remote possibility of anyone actually gaining any information from it here is all you need to know:

1. There are those who want to play a villain.
2. There are those who pretend to be one as they learn to navigate their way through life.
3. Then there are those truly sadistic pieces of excrement that actually are.

Don't be #3 and you are all set.

Im sorry, but the online personality sniffer and compiler must have deemed you not worthy to be a Villain. Its ok, maybe villainy isn't your thing. How do you feel about being a henchmen? Due to the high mortality rate among the henchmen trade, Heroes tend to shoot henchmen by the truckload., there is ALWAYS job openings for henchmen.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I want to play with ingame villains. If someone catches me in a no shield fit hulk afk I deserve what happens. I dont deserve to be on TS for hours being mentally tortured after all profit that can be made has been made. Please scam away using in game mechanics.

Seeing a thread asking if being a villain in EVE gets your account banned is really a sad thing to witness.

Hell, the former biggest alliance in-game was ran by villains, and was destroyed by villains, for villains.

Do anything you want to anyone's eve assets. In game, say anything you want within the EULA/TOS. Out of game, Trollish Blog/EN24/TMC/various forum posts are ok.

Repeated humiliation sessions over voice comms or other third party programs are not ok. The line in the sand was drawn pretty fcking clearly; a lot of people just refuse to see it.

And honestly, there aren't many people in the Eve community that sink so low as to warrant a ban by these standards. In fact, I only know of one such case.

Not empty quoting.

Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the comedian is the only thing that makes sense.

To the OP, yeah, don't ask your victims to sing karaoke. CCP considers it a crime against humanity, right up there with the Holocaust. But ganking and scamming thousands of dollars worth of PLEX and starship is okay.

Being the bad guy and scamming the low end of the gene pool in Eve does not test your mettle. If you want a real challenge build a corp and then an alliance and then take space and build a legacy. You can say what you want about the Goons but their leaders did things no one dreamed they could and many of them will be remembered for years to come.

Maybe karaoke would be ok if people were made to sing Lofsöngur.

(Beautiful national anthem by the way Iceland, ranks up there with Russia's.)

Stealth "Tears for E1" thread?

I am so conflicted.

I HATE scams and anyone that preys on ignorance. Eve has so many areas it is difficult to know EVERYTHING.

On the other hand.....I hate to see the game I love continue down the road of turning into a WOW themepark with safety rails, cushions and story-lines to hold the player's hand while crawling down the bunny slope.

But dang I would love to have my ISK doubled. Hmmmm....

Do what you do until the ban hammer comes for you. Then go do something else. That's my plan.

I'm not a bad guy, I'm robin hood. I steal money from greedy industrialists and spread it amongst the stars. In the form of spaceships. That I own.

I'm gonna go with an idea already mentioned. If you don't know what your doing, stay away from it. If I charge into a situation and lose a ship I only lose a ship. I risked the ship. If I complain it wont take anytime at all to find some people saying and knowing that I should have researched a bit more. But its still only a ship.

Now if your gonna scam or awox without getting banned, that takes some social skills. There's been a ton written already. Now if you want to risk your account without doing enough study to understand the line, that's whats on the line. Its hardly invisible, there must be 600 pages of text. Its a very high risk profession. It has the potential for huge rewards, now the risks are finally tangible.

Its a risky game.
