ITT: Cid has a really, really stupid idea | |||||||

Pay attention, fresh meat. Sergeant Cid here. And I’ve got something that you need to hear, so listen up.
Lately, I’ve been hearing a lot of belly aching about how this game is so tough, and how it’s so unfair that all of the veteran players get to buy the best gear. Well… Ol’ Sarge has good news for you fresh recruits. I’m going to hook you up with some damn fine gear, and a damn fine price. The Master Ball Log in to see images! 23 Points of extra Offense will help you annihilate those pesky forums. And 33 Points of Extra Defense will enable you to shrug off practically any type of damage. ”But, Sarge… I’m a poor shmuck with barely any Flezz at all… and them there Master Balls run at least 400K! How can I afford that?” It’s simple, newbie. I ain’t sellin’ them for 400K. Try 16,250. You read that right. 16,250. Just go run a few missions for them FBO fellers, or that sneaky bastard Shallow Esophagus, and you should have the flezz you need, so that you can buy the Gear You Need. Now, here’s the catch. This offer is open only to our newest recruits. You veterans need to move along and give these green maggots a chance. To qualify, you need to be a true newbie, meaning you signed up for the ForumWarz less than 2 months ago. Just go ahead and post in this thread, and I’ll get in touch with you and see about getting you set up. Now, after I’ve taken care of the newbies, if I’ve got any left, then I’ll open it up to some of our more experienced soldiers. But the new kids get first dibs, copy that? First come, first serve. Get moving, maggots! |

Isn’t this kind of, you know, making the game unnecessarily easy for people? |

How can you be certain they will get the item? Isn’t there like an hour before the buyout comes into play where anyone could bid like 20k and then it’ll make the auction run it’s normal course? Seems to me like you’re teasing newbies potentially, which as a mod, isn’t very nice. |

well, would you have liked having GameDolphin when you were playing for the first time? I don’t hear a lot of complaints that the game is far too difficult to get through. |

1. Bidding more than the Buyout price does not disable the Buyout function. (At least, the last time I checked, it didn’t have that effect)
2. I wouldn’t publicly advertise the auction. I’d ask them when they’d be available to ‘snipe’ it, and then list the auction and TM them the link accordingly. |

Sergeant Cid Posted: If I bid more than the buyout, I’m pretty sure they need to outbid me to get it, which effectively does eliminate the buyout and make the auction run it’s course. |

Just so I know, is it okay if my friend makes an alt, and I arrange for them to have top equipment at level one? (And then they could do the same for me, obviously) |

Yes, this is actually an evil plot on my part to have newer players finish the first Episode super-fast, and then feel forced to buy Brownie Points to continue the story. Log in to see images! |

You could be right. I’ve never actually tested that. Care to help me test that theory with a low level piece of Junk?
Edit: Go ahead and bid 5 on This Tire. Then we’ll wait for an hour to see if the Buyout Function still works. Sergeant Cid edited this message on 06/07/2009 6:47PM |

I certainly will. TM me which item you’d like to put a buyout on and I’ll outbid it by some to see. |
