Quote: Scam an Confidence trick

Well to start off, Pinky joined the mentor as a deciple since she was Confident he would take care of her, while the true reason he took her on, was to keep her locked as desciple and won't release her before 100% - when he gets the skill / item. What ever if he scam MindArk getting the skill and item, or use Pinky's avatar as an tool to get them and therefore lure her into being his desciple is still about gaining confidence.

What is the point here? That this guy should get away with appalling behaviour and do this to more n00bs who deserve and can easily get better?

He was warned, he laughed and said he wanted to be famous...a cock crowing on it's own dunghill ...and now he's famous and up to his neck in his own dung.

711 makes the rules here, and is always fair. Pinky was polite and practically begged before doing this...if not for NBK Legion helping her she'd be really struggling (especially if she'd been a real new player). NBK were also named in this article...how do they look in all this, and how was their attitude and behaviour towards a n00b compared to her mentor? Big difference, they helped and came out smelling of roses, and were never going to get a bean for doing so unlike him.

If naming someone is against the rules....how about having 2 avas? Isn't that also wrong? In the context of what Pinky was doing here obviously not.

Pinky did the exact right thing. In future it will perhaps make other farmers think twice, or even make MA rethink the whole metoring profession a little.

I bloody knew she'd n00b HOF though . Nice way to do it to. Gratz

As everyone else has said, very enjoyable and novel thing to do. I wonder if it will allow me to +rep

yay Pinky!

[Wollongong]

Good call on keeping the beacon out

[Arokh]

Mentor: I different time than you. I cant "sleep" with everyone

Not everyone? But me love you long time!

Great article Pinky, sure the mentor would be proud! hehe

I think your beacon profits should count because the beacon is not worth so much its just a 50 ped global its the stupid markup people are willing to pay that makes it value hehehe

Congrats on your HOF too, I wasn't surprised in the least. And it's shameful that your mentor refused to release you...you mean you don't have a way to kick your mentor? (I've never been a disciple so I don't even know what the options are, hehe!) He was definitely farming disciples, just another one of many who are totally inept mentors.

Yay NBK.

Funny that i thought it unlikely your noob was snorkmaiden because the Moomins are Scandinavian. Mind telling how you came up with that one?

A Moomin fan when I was a kid

It was very nearly Flump or Barbapapa themed... for a moment there it was almost a male avi called David Sexgod Hasslehoff, but figured anyone who knows my obbsesion with the Hoff would know it was me...




Regarding the inclusion of the beacon - had it just been a 50 pedder I probably would have included it, but 600 was just too much for me to keep it in the figures and count it as profit for an average noob...
