Remember this scam?

[Tupakk]

Gundum is the reason why we couldn't have nice things. I ran a legit casino and sometimes would win sometimes I would lose a lot. Games weren't rigged albeit some harder to win than others.

[nostalgiaquest]

the ol' firepot scam was always my favorite, back when you instantly dropped money on the ground without an "are you sure you want do drop this?" message. Made mucho plat doing that on different servers until they eventually changed the money dropping procedure.

I never knew I had stupid rich relatives that want to give me crazy amounts of some money from another country. Where do I sign up? PM me more info so I can give you my credit card quick!!!

I proceeded to have a friend log random chars openly betting while talking in /say and /shout about winning. At the same time a second friend was openly condemning my casino, saying it's a scam and not to trust me. This went on for a good hour or so like I said, and then my friend who claims I'm scamming throughout ooc "plays" my casino with 10k bet and won triple the amount, apologizing profusely in occ that I am not a scam what so ever.

At that point people would immediately flock to me giving me platinum for bets that ranged anywhere from 100pp to 30k one time. I keep doing the "casino rolls" accepting bets and giving no payouts until they catch on. Log off, transfer all the Plat and high end loot I was wearing (more "proof" my lvl 30 Alt has a rich main that can afford to do this casino). Get another char PLed and do the casino again a week later.

Eventually I had a GM issue a cease and desist through tells and I got suspended for ignoring it while arguing casinos aren't against the rule of the game. Bastards.

lol

were you the guy who was offering a fungi if the roll landed on the right number? One number in 1000 ? Can't remember what the cost was to play.

I remember that guy spamming rolls in the emptyish offpeak tunnel til he hit the right number then posting it on the forums as if someone had just won it.... yeah right lol

After Luclin came out, my friend would go to the bazaar, so a search to see which PC vendors had a fungi, and then just whisper them. A successful exchange would go something like this:

Him: hey
Vendor: sup
Him: I started a new warrior alt [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Them: who's this?
Him: guess :P
Them: (begins guessing a bunch of friends)
Him: (picking one of the random friends) Ya it's me <friend name> haha anyways think I could borrow that fungi for a couple days? Just to get out of these low levels!

...and more often than not they would hand this complete stranger their fungi, he would transfer to another character and erase all existence of the toon he used to dupe them.

I successfully tried it once, but my conscious got the better of me and I found the guy a day or two later and returned his item back to him.
