Wait, I have another joke.

If you bought a known spy it must have been a really crappy spy.

Ba-dum tss?

Guys?

Anyone?

I just undocked for the first time and someone challenged me to a duel. Wat do?

Scamming with characters is in no way allowed isn't it?

Let's say IF i am the previous owner ((CCP pls don't ban me I am of course not the previous owner))

Let's say I sold myself to a new non-existent owner, CCP would know in the form of IP address changes (or, no change) (Unless I play constantly on VPN) and for that I would be scamming and would be banned.

Seriously, all the spy trick to get FW militia to trust me?? What do they have that I can steal lol, no offence but really I doubt any of the corporation would let me be part of the leadership or even if they do they're not gonna put like 5000 billion in their corp wallet right? (in the case that both is true, yes I will indeed steal them all. Smile)

Also, come to think of it I don't even know if this a known spai! I mean how do you guys check, I'm bad at this. People seem to jump to the decision that I am a spai because I have a long corp history.

All in all, I just want to be able to get in fleets and blap some minmatars, and role play a bit. Roll

These are serious allegations. I feel that your alt should be assigned some legal counsel to properly fight this unfounded libel.

There is literally nothing stopping you from doing this.

You're allowed to transfer characters between your own accounts, so the lack of IP address change wouldn't flag you to CCP, they get their 2xPLEX or cash and everything is hunky-dory.

Using the character bazaar to launder your reputation is possibly a rule violation but CCP would need to comment either way or it's just speculation.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

The only rule that could possibly be broken is using the character bazaar to launder your reputation.


That would be what I am saying, character xfers between accounts are allowed but creating a sales thread and making it look like a new owner took away the character are pretty much reputation laundering.

op, either resell the character for a new one or just don't mention it joining a corp and see how far you get


You wouldnt get banned for it if you owned the character

Because you would be the character


After last Summer? I think maybe you could get banned for being yourself. Who the heck knows?

I admit to not being able to deal with certain meta-game craps.

Ok guys thanks for listening, this is not that big of a deal I just needed to vent my frustration somewhere. And since General Discussion are... uhm, general discussions I thought to post here a little.

Worse comes to worse I'll just re-sell, I swear people don't check toon backgrounds before they buy, because I just sold one that has a rather killboard as a PvP character and bad history Lol, karma sucks.

If that was true, then selling characters would be a stickier wicket than it is

Thats what I said though

He's not the previousowner, hes passing himself off as that character

All feedback are very helpful thanks everyone

Not sure if it's just me or WINMATAR has some trust issues, I'm not even planning to join their corp. Just wanted to join the fleet they posted in militia which is like a frig/dessie fleet. My request was accepted, I joined comms and provided full API, then I was unceremoniously kicked from both fleet/comms without warning. Also, when FC asked me to send 1 mil to confirm no spai (really lol)I'm thinking heck just 1 mil right? I made a typo and gave him 1 bill (this is the biggest source of my frustration!)

Confirmed it's my fault, just looking for ways to salvage this situation without reselling. I like the skills this toon has. Just posted to the sales thread to confirm I received the character, I can't be lying because CCP will ban me just as unceremoniously if I do.
