Sometimes, it is better to forgive your foes, this annoys them the most.

Re: Scammers scammers everywhere and not a person to trust
Although the practice of scamming players is not explicitly against the rules, it is morally wrong.
I am prepared to enforce TEMPORARY bans on scammers, under the condition that I witness the act and that the act is not provoked.
HOWEVER!
Players are reminded that there is a perfectly good trading system in the game, players claiming that their trade window is broken etc, should NOT be trusted (unless an official bug report is lodged)
If you are scammed, you are partly to blame, if no one gave in to these scammers they would not be here!
Please remember, only "loan" items to players you TRUST WITHOUT A DOUBT!
Cheers

However, new players would most likely be vulnerable to these scams if they do not understand the interface. Those who choose to perform such acts should be shot on sight (or punished).

Re: Scammers scammers everywhere and not a person to trust
Several hours ago many of us witnessed angel1234 at it again. Her other chars are mentioned on another thread. After full out admitting it to Cappy - GM, it wasnt 15 min later she was asking Dimond if she would try on her dress. This how she operates, makes up some lie and runs off with your stuff.
Even after all the scamming and filthy low live thievery, promising the lot of us there she would never do it again for fear Bjorn would IP ban her, after she was informed he could do so, she just keeps on. So Bjorn out there this one is NEVER going to stop, only say she will stop. She has got to go pure and simple.
Yours truly sugarcorgit
PS I had Getafix send you a PM about this matter

Many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view.
Re: Scammers scammers everywhere and not a person to trust
Btw, I got complains I'm scammer
Please, pay attention: my character in game named "Hello=)" (without quotes). I do NOT have any other chars. Nor I have any other accounts except account related to this char. Looks like some nasty azzh0le taken some nick close enough to my one and did something bad. I'm not related to these events except somehow similar nick. I can't prevent such things anyhow. I'm asking GMs to confirm I'm different person (can be done via IP addresses analysis, I'm always playing from same ISP so IP ranges will always point to this ISP and unlikely my IP ranges will ever match to IPs of this scamer).
And well, it will be very good if Dark Magician, Sugarcorgit and someone else will STOP personal attacks on me. Because I did nothing bad and hence, it is really BAD and FRUSTRATING if I'm getting personally attacked without reasons! Actually I'm trying to be a polite and kind person in game. And it's really bad someone claims I'm scammer. Please, Sugar, Dark, can you be more accurate in your judgement? You're REALLY angry on WRONG person! Please double-check nicks AND consider that anyone can take close nicks by coincidence or intentionally. There is nothing prevents it. So it is easy to attack WRONG person
