yeah I find it hillarious that his own english skills seem to degrade throughout the correspondence.

I find the abuse of the nebula system repugnant, and I warn everyone abusing it to stop doing so.

Donation can get you into the top 20, and skill may even keep you there...
But there is no way you can buy yourself into the top 10, unless you dont mind making emi rich enough to buy microsoft. Currently my lead costs in the hundreds of trillions, and donation rewards is in the billions.
To match my current power you would have to donate tens of thousands of dollars.
And frankly, if you want to win bad enough to do that, you should spend half that money on a shrink before you do anything else.

I do not hand out credits.
Begging will not change this.

If you need credits bad enough to humilate yourself that much, I suggest getting a job, then donating.
That will make Emi happy, annoy me less, and give you something you didnt have before, other than money, namely pride.

Sincerely

Argus

yh i think its cool how u practise in the game

perhaps you should make a thread called 'Verbal Warfare' or something?

I recently received yet another letter asking me to hand out money, and feel that the correspondence might help anyone out there who needs a few tips on begging.

Re: Re:

okay, you need 10000 warehouses (at least, and if you have items more), and i will put up for trade 1 million consumer electronics for max. bid. then you buy them and then i make a buy offer for them back at min, bid. then i sell them back to you for max. and you get to keep them. so in the end it will cost you around 180 bill creds.

And it is me who lost a ship and needs it back.


Me: 10000 warehouses a lot think only have the one or not and no goods for consuming to buy from where please if not i know could good you make explain please forgive englihs but for creds how will i know its you to the selling?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re

CHOAM is built in to the game, CHOAM is the thing that sells all the items in the market. it is actually hard to explain the market well so if you want, you can send me the password to your account and i will hop on and do what i need to do real quick and i promise i will not do anything else.

Me: prehaps bu mozul signat you can shpw me to market you as you goods or not dont know but much easy than this cant find in market if not please to not know if not?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re

when you click on the market button, you will get a list of different types of items being sold, the one you want is marked
Sell Offers Trade Goods (88 goods on auction) Buy Offers
you click on sell offers and there will be an item (consumer electronics) on the third page, buy that for the max credits.


if this doesn't help, i'm not sure what to say, the market is very difficult to understand.

okay, well i am going to bed now so you do not have to worry about the market anymore. Im glad to see you can still play the game well and hope you manage to stay at the top of the rankings all round.

Good luck Argus,
Mr X



....

Well... perhaps theres a morale to be learned from all this, or perhaps there isnt. Just felt like sharing...
Edit: removed name and number from the now rather embarrased customer.

I think nebs are fine the way they are, just make a list of those who hide, and when dday comes, there will be no hiding.

ANY attack on me from this time will be considered a full fledged declaration of war against me, resulting in me doing as much harm as i possibly can to to the one who attacked me, as well as anyone in his/her alliance as i can reach.

Yes, even probes with a single decoy will count.

Be aware that I will remove any system fleets that block my way, so place them at your own peril.
I cannot accept any limitations on my access to the galactic ressources, so anyone seeking to hinder me in harvesting what ressources I covet may find that it is expensive and ultimately futile to place system fleets at all.
Just thought I'd give you all fair warning so you have at least a chance to recycle your system fleets before I decide to dismantle them.

This is a new round, its been a long time since I was last in this galaxy, so I have decided to give everyone a chance.
Even though it is probably naiive to asume that people may change, its too much bother to keep track of old grudges, so I have chosen the simpler course of action, and will let bygones be bygones until such a time that they do not look all the bygone...

So in other words, Im back, dont know for how long, but its good to be back.

Edit: Malice is completely to blame for my return. 

Lamma, you have insulted me time and time again, now is the time to pay for it.

workers are nothing.
with the ships they unfairly gained, they can easily replace the workers.
the workers lost means less than nothing, it means go ahead and cheat, you wont really get punished.

I think its a joke to confiscate workers from wolfy and not take away the ships he only got through cheating.
After i nuked him, he had 30 trillion left on hand, 10 minutes later he was up to 130 trillion, still no ships though. Incidentally lamma also had a rather interesting rise in power during the same time frame.
Since it seems that everyone agree that it is cheating, I think it would only be fair to remove all they have gained through cheating. Reset all those who cheated to the power and ships they had when the cheating started.
Like for instance right after wolfy was nuked.

Lets see how well he will do without cheating.

Emi could you please tell us all what you intend to do about this?

It is clear that Lamma and Wolfy invented this scam, and that wolfy would never have recovered so fast if he had not been abusing this bug.
Why should we play a game where those who abuse such bugs are allowed to prosper?

I say reset all those who have cheated to the power they had at the day the abuse started.... shouldnt be hard to spot, that would be the day we started the dday clock and nuked wolfy.

Emi, could you please let us know if you intend to let wolfy get away with this absurd abuse?
