    Due to public interest, I have scrambled together what is left of this magical night of wonder:

    @Jakob I get it, you role play a dick.

    You're happy to scam a new player outa 1.8 mil and leave him on hella bad terms with an established player. Good for you.

    I get it. Cesar gets it, lots of other players and forum members get it.

    Congratulations homie. I don't know what you're hoping to get outa this now?

    lol. Posted his account of what happened in defense of his honor after all the trammelers came out of their bod holes to exclaim how he should be banned! Seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to post in light of recent event.

    A lot of commotion (and words, Jesus Christ, One...) over some Feluccan behavior. A very small subset of you are treating the alleged scam of a 'newish player' on the same level of burning a puppy alive. Off the soapbox! This whole excessive babying-of-the-new-player has gotten out of hand, its not like players here are trying to make new people quit. The whining and salty attitudes over literally fucking everything on the forums is more inclined to run people off than some in-game shenanigans.

    Now that this poor chap's auction is completely derailed, here's the Earsnot reaction to the attempted Pfniffeling.

    And here's pretty much everyone else...

    My guy, this really can be summarised with the swiftness.

    Franz tried to scam a new player out of 1.8 mil.

    I and a bunch of people didn't think it was legit.

    Franz and his friends thought it was legit.

    That's it.

    It's a difference of opinions, that's UO, shit man, that's life.

    If Jakob wants to keep pattin' himself on the back for it, go for it homie! Ain't no thang! If y'all homies wanna keep circle jerking over it, go for it homies! It ain't no thang.

    There are some very interesting parallels between some boots that I found and what occurred in this thread. And I give you my word that this was not in any way pre-planned in order to come up with some sort of entertaining reply to post here.

    - Telamon announces the town invasion right when I had planned to go to bed.
    - I figure I might just take a look, expecting nothing but a bunch of chaos and death traps, but perhaps I'll kill a few leprechauns around the edge of town.
    - The event seems manageable so I use my provo bard to provo some leprechauns and use blade spirits.
    - I get a few caves but not much loot
    - On the last cave (very soon before Telamon announced it was winding down), I got in and a bunch of dexers are just fighting the leprechauns, everyone is ignoring the boss.
    - I EV the boss, meanwhile others notice and come join in. Boss dies, key falls in my pack, I head over to the chest and start running my restock agent which foolishly does NOT have short boots in it.
    - I move a few things around in the chest and see what appears to be dark boots. Meanwhile another player has come over and started helping himself to the contents of the chest.
    - I manually pick up the boots and drop them in my pack, and take off immediately.
    - One or two days later I chat in IRC about how much they are worth, whether to bless them, etc. The conversation eventually leads to the topic of doing trades inside the event center, and I am informed that doing so is considered very lame and possibly even an illegal exploit.
    - After seeing that auctions are barely making it to 2m I decide to ask if any guildies want a deal, and I am offered a runebook bless deed for the boots.
    - I mention the conversation about trading in the event center, and the buyer agrees it is very lame and totally unnecessary. Therefore not only does the buyer insist we do the trade in a normal town, but we must do it in Buc's Den. (this is Thursday, April 19th around 11PM EST).
    - We head to Buc's Den and do the trade, and the buyer puts the boots on and runs around for a few moments wearing the unblessed boots.
