Sorry but i cant even appreciate this scam based on merit. The greatest scam of all would to have been to simply develope a hack/bot to accumulate the funds for them. It's all about effeciency, this scam wreaks of effort.

Right, because you're busying yourself with winning football games and banging the head cheerleader right? Don't be such a pretentious prick.

As for the story, it's very well written and I enjoyed every word. Now my eyes bleed from staring at the screen so long. 0_o It's crazy how close that story is to my exploits in Diablo 2.

You need to read it word for word to truely appreciate his changing mood and final revalation. Sweet.

i played during beta, and it consisted mostly of mining, mining, mining, mining, mining, mining, mining, and mining.

or

running trade routes, running trade routes, running trade routes, running trade routes, running trade routes, running trade routes, running trade routes, running trade routes, and running trade routes.

or

a combination of both.

some people love it tho... i'm sure there's more to it than what i've described above

Sounds like the kind of game that'd be fun if you started from the very beginning, so you had the chance to be the big bad ass the whole time

What about his RL friend that he plays with? What did he think?

they should have wired all the funds to one of their fake investor accounts, the fake account would then be able to vent fake anger with all the other real investors, o man the irony.. and then the fake account would also be able to spring board off that false sense of comraderie all the screwed-over-investors have together hahaha..
