you know what it happened, if anyone is at fault it is the holder of the Silent Auction. Take this as a lesson learned you got tricked it happened its over. And i know people who would gladly pay big money for the suit, no matter how it was obtained, if its wanted it will sell. I also play a thief we don't steal to necessarily make gold, we do it for the simple fact of fun, its a rush to see high end items uninsured and up for grabs. People have claim that Stealing is a dead skill but it is not dead. Although this was not done with the stealing skill, it did not affect game mechanics and anyway and it is fair. Ya it would suck to happen but if you let a game get to you this much please see help.
Your's Truly,
A Thief!

he stole one that was purchased, from someone. I saw both helmets Shinobi has one and he had one on his head in Luna Bank. So there is 1 Helmet that is not blacklisted

You ALL need to read up on the word scam ...
>Lying< IS a legit game mechanic ... damnit

It Is A PRETEND game ... damnit

scam and theft are the same damn thing ... damnit

you take something not yours
and keep it ...
thats it ... no Glorious thiefs and scummy scammers ...
peeps that by any means what takes from another and keeps it

>Is The Game<

Y'all keep trying to wiggle out of your responsibilities AS the MARK ...
>you lose the items<
The "bad guy" keeps your stuff
maybe plays the ransom game
maybe is never seen again
maybe taunts you into a rage on a regular basis
got your nose, got your nose !!!

Scam ...The confidence trick is also known as a con game, con, grift, hustle, bunko, swindle, flim flam, gaffle or bamboozle. The intended victim(s) are known as marks. The perpetrator of a confidence trick is often referred to as a confidence man/woman, con man/woman, con artist or grifter. When accomplices are employed, they are known as shills.

In David Mamet's film House of Games, the main con artist gives a slightly different description of the "confidence game." He explains that, in a typical swindle, the con man gives the mark his own confidence, encouraging the mark to in turn trust him. The con artist thus poses as a trustworthy person seeking another trustworthy person.
NOW ... unknot your pigtails and smooth the pleats in your skirts and step down from the chair ...

and begin again ...


The "game" is not the clickety click lame sauce of the "stealing skill" ... quit trying to make it so ... it will NOT work
THE GAME is pretending to be your character ... playing against other humans
once again: :scholar: Role Playing Game
you got a "problem"?

WRITE A BETTER PLOT ... quit blaming the game every time you lose a sucker bar bet ...

damnit ... :danceb:

You guys have no attention span, do you all realise you're discussing something we went over earlier in the thread ?

I think you are all HONESTLY lazy for not reading it...

FD is right about :

Lying is a legit game mechanic...

but the point of the discussion was recasted earlier when we all realised noone cares if its legit or not, we know it's the guys fault for not verifying the unique character code in chat.

Now since we KNOW that we DONT CARE ABOUT LEGITNESS because it was HIS FAULT...

HOW CAN WE DISCUSS THAT ?!

then... was it ethical, was it COOL ?

No ! there was no skill involved and UO is a game of skill, to be cool and to be notorious you need skill.

Well there is no skill involved into copying a character using IN GAME mechanics like character name.

I spit on scammers, and applaud the courage and skill of true thieves ; end of dictussion !
