When the Dream Avatar on tektek.org is not entertaining me on GAIA, I could always count of my trusty fellow Gaians to keep me entertained. Who are these Gaians? Who else but those who made our closest relative, the Apes, look more morally upright than ourselves.
It is a waste that such talents are being invested on scamming. I bet they could be one heck of a Role Player. Just imagine all the stories they could cook up. But then again, most of them can't spell well, so that would really kill a Role Playing session.
Here's an example of the Present Box scam. I promise I'll upload a PM with better English when I get one. IF I get one.
Anyway, I decided to play along with the whole thing, and recorded down the things I've gotten below. It's fun! Really. Just make sure you didn't wrap the wrong item, and you'll be fine. And never send trade first, ask them to initiate the trade instead.
Ok, honestly, I don't know why I said "never send trade first" rofl
I don't know, does it make any difference? Hmmm... *ponders* Anyway, I think it would avoid them asking you the "Why is __(insert item's name)__ in a present box?" question. If they send someone a trade with their item all wrapped up nicely in a present box, it is just courtesy that you wrap your item too, right? Heh heh
