Here is a list of things I've done on the market this week.
I've become disoriented by massive profits and can no longer distinguish degrees of EEEEBIL.
Please help me regain my equilibrium by ranking my schemes from MOST to LEAST eeebil, preferably with a short explanation of your logic.

• Buying and destroying all of the Nevermelting Ice listed for less than 50,000 inf every night before bed.
  
• Buying LotGs for 50-60 million, flipping them for 100 million.
  
• Buying Positron's Blast dam/end recipes for 100k, selling the crafted enhancements for 10 million.
  
• Finding a bunch of crafted Armageddons and Gravitic Anchors stored in a long disused base, selling them for enough to get a broke character to the inf cap.
  
• Placing a bunch of lowball bids on a recipe I'm flipping to soak up all the cheap incoming supply and encourage players to pay my premium.
  
• Buying assorted Large inspirations for 10k and combining them to make Large Defense inspirations which I sell for 500k.
  
• Overpaying for junk salvage because I'm too impatient for bid creeping.

TIA!

it's all a Dev conspiracy to destroy the game!


/em tinfoil hat

I'm wondering how I end up being the bad guy in CC's STICK IT TO THE MAN thread...

=(

Hmm, sounds interesting.

I may lift my MA authoring boycott to take a stab at it.

I made a ton of gold disenchanting stuff in that one game we're not supposed to talk about, so I co-sign this idea.

=)

totally random guess, if I win I'll hold a costume contest and give it away:


778,543,190

amusing true story:

so I make an alt for the new SG, a plant controller who's been rolling around in my head for a while. Get the costume right, hit Atlas Park and before I can even pull up my global friends list to see if Fulmens is around I get a tell from someone recruiting for their SG, on the basis of my long trail of vet badges.

I respectfully declined. Let me just say any pronouncements of Guardian being a 'dead' server are premature.

my favorite manifestation of this is my ar/dev's gun turret bum-rushing spawns, where it rapidly and predictably gets slaughtered.

I've stopped bothering with it until they get this melee craze sorted out.

there wasn't actually that much inf floating around in the pre-market days.

you were wealthy if you had a couple million on hand, and since there wasn't anything to spend it on folk generally gave it away in costume contests or converted it to prestige for their bases (which were a LOT more expensive back in the day).

The 'richest' character I had back in the day was my kat/regen scrapper, who had a few million inf when I logged him back in after I9. That's what used to qualify you to be a sugar daddy, lol.

change of pace post, here are my four most-used, most loved cookbooks.

How To Cook Everything by Mark Bittman

If I could only grab one cookbook on my way to the proverbial desert island, this would be it. I think of it as "Joy of Cooking for the modern age".

Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison

Great recipes, and also a storehouse of very useful techniques. It's a vegetarian cookbook minus the usual ideology.

Authentic Mexican by Rick Bayless

A nice balance between authenticity and user friendliness. Plus, every single thing I've made out of this one has turned out fantastic.

New Best Recipe by Cook's Illustrated

Probably my favorite cookbook to read. The evolution of each recipe in their test kitchen is exhaustively documented. And whaddaya know, all that testing turns out bulletproof recipes that always taste fantastic.
