I got a chuckle out of the Eve Online scam.  Man, that was brutal.

BTW, did anyone play Eve Online?  I signed up for it, but never actually logged in.

I've never played myself but I had a friend that did hardcore for 3 years.  I probably spent 10-12 hours over that time hanging out with him watching him play lol.  It was "gaming the system" to a whole new level.  He was telling me about something that happened where a ship ($2000 real life value gives you an idea of the time / effort involved in attaining it) was the target of a raid, where people basically set the guy up in REAL life so that an emergency occurred while he was piloting it in the online EVE world & had to bail.  They called the guy at home & told him his kid had an accident @ shcool & had to come pick her up.  The guy was doing the piloting effectively was in the Middle of no where & figured he could timeout safely.  That wasn't the case & the guild behind it trashed his ship etc..   or so the story went....    The lengths people go to omg....

That's frightening!  I can't really believe people would bend to that low.  I guess I could.

When I played Traveller (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traveller_%28role-playing_game%29) way back in the day, I became known for my "backstabby"ness.  lol

I have a friend who plays Eve, and was peripherally involved in one of those.  I don't pretend to understand the game, but apparently it's brutal.
