35 pedder? Nice going Pinky!

I can only imagine how nerve racking it would've been had someone with your mentor's scruples come along and vulched your spaceship...

Super post Pinky! (+rep)

Your journey as a noob is eeriely identical to my noob days.

My mentor bail ship after 2 days : then relogged after 4 months to collect his gift.

I spend 4 lonely months shooting my opalo till I grad.

Then i join a soc and found that not all ppl are rogues.

I got my first HOF at 6 weeks from joining : 1448 Ped Blaus.

Whats to say : You have got a very accurate journal of a noobs life.

Fantastic reporting!!! Thnx

Woot! I knew it! When you mentioned a sizable, and stuff too tell tale to reveal, i had a suspicion the stuff was finding the beacon... snork's 'vacation' was also supiciously coinciding with 'the noob is dead'

Glad you enjoyed NBK Legion! Now all noobs know we are a good soc! Noobs--> apply at soc terminal!!!

Looking forward to the rest, even though i know some of it already, lol.

Sitting here on my last vacation day in Thailand eating breakfast and reading this is really enjoyable, very well done Pinky.

Now off to the pool

Good for posting that, i completely agree that if a disciple wants to leave the mentor should do so immediately. Hes only hurting himself and his own reputation, i have a few disciples. And what makes a good mentor isnt somone who sits there and lets you figure out things on your own, first thing i believe a mentor should do is teach the basic knowledge of the game, how to mount buttons, how to hunt, about the markups, TT's, auction. Every basic thing the disciple must know, then share your experiances and tips that may help them. Bond with them too, dont just shove em off. Sadly alot of people mentor for the gift, but the funny thing is the gift isnt usually worth anything most of the time. You should mentor because you wanna help people out.

I must admit I've never heard or even seen this Vladimir guy, he must not play very often at all, If ever. Does he really think he's going to get famous? Infamous more like

Well done Pinky

Admitting, I was sitting reading the whole set of stories, anxious waiting for your mentor to be the mentor he should be - and he failed.

Anyway, this person, might have been rude, scammed or cheated you or refused to help, assist, release you...

But naming "scammers" in this forum aint the way 711 and MindBuster wants things to go, and as far as I see it - that is a clear breaking that avatar scammer naming rule...

Tho - admittedly - I still think he is a *jerk*

Still - love your story - so don't take this personally - I just thinks its a BIT off the edge..
