All that sounds all gravy, but 65mil isn't really much enough to do anything with. Unless, you wanna hang out in WW and play the market. But grats and your journey i guess.

Bumpitystuffz.

Heh, very true.

Just to update, I'll post a new set of screenshots this coming Monday. Keep in mind that I'm only making money off things I showed in my list here, and I told everyone my sales signature. I can't get too much more public than that. We'll see how much I can still clear in one week.

I haven't.

Finals week ends next Wednesday. I guess I'll take the time to write one up then.

Heh. I'd be happy to teach anyone my way, but you may lose a lot of respect for my accomplishments if I did so. Seriously, the fact that I continue to make money off the market boggles my own mind.

I may just make a screenshot series of a 2 week period of my marketeering...then start a lecture series called Rich Toon, Poor Toon...

This is all well and good for you guys who have been playing for awhile, but for the new guy (or returning guy) AE was great because it broke the market and the strangle hold the REAL farmers had on it. Now that its not so easy for me to get tickets I have to resort to the market but I never had a bank roll to begin with. Needless to say my toons are not tricked out with IO sets and probably never will.

Dump on the casual player more please? Let the asian (poor asians get a bad rap) continue farming your game and making cold hard cash. Good choice.

Farming wasn't affected by the AE nerf, everyone knows this right?

I've actually messed with just about every niche that I could find in the game. Most was made by crafting, some was made by flipping (purples especially).

Let's see, a quick list of the stuff I've messed with (primary focus in parentheses):
Red Fortune (Def/End)
Crushing Impact (all)
Doctored Wounds (all)
Titanium Coating (all)
Thunderstrike (all)
Miracle (Proc, H/R, H/E)
Numina's (all)
Regen Tissue (Proc)
Mako's Bite (?)
Posi's Blast (all)
Scirocco's Dervish (all)
Blessing of the Zephyr (KB)
Celerity (Stealth)
Steadfast Protection (all)
Karma (KB)
Purples (all)
Decimation (all)
Devastation (all)
Impervium Armor (Res, Proc)
LotG (all)

Think that's about all. Probly forgot a couple.

Actually, I've only logged about 2 hours in-game since the 2nd or 3rd day of I-14. School's been getting busy as finals week starts tomorrow (taking a break from my 18-pg research paper as I type this).

Well, in 20 days, my zero hour arrives. Don't fret, I'm not leaving the game. That's just when I'm giving away all my inf. So, since my party announcement includes a rough estimate of how much inf, I decided it was time to update my screenshot collection. Some of you may remember when I posted my Twin Billionaires and Triplet Billionaires a while back. Well, needless to say, my kitty has grown slightly since then. And so, without further ado, I present to you...

Octobillionaire!

Included in the screenshot is a current list of what I'm making money with (I can't call it manipulating because my bid/sale prices change every 3 days depending on market pricing) on who. Obviously, at my peak of activity, this list was FAR larger, but since I-14, I've just messed with purples because they're really just that easy to make money off of.

Also, as you can see, in the last 3 days, I've made approximately 400 mil (the outstanding sales will sell within a day, and it's only 3 IOs anyway), and I've only actually checked today since that day. Actual market-time spent in order to clear that 400 mil was approximately 20 minutes. I swear, it really is that easy. Oh, and yes, I am aware that I could move enough to make a ninth billionaire, but I live in Cali, so Octobillionaire sounded better to me.

Oh, and feel free to move in on my niches. My bids end in 5024, so now you'll just be able to see exactly what toon it was that just ganked your cheap IO.

So, anyway, #9!

11 - 3 so far tonight says otherwise.

For meeting places, on Heroside, it'll be in Atlas unless we find major, major issues due to the AE building there. On Villainside, I would expect it to be in Mercy, but Jester'll make the final call for that.

So the Pingus turn 4 years old this month, and I like the number 4, so I think we should have us a nice, big party.

And for those of you who have been around for awhile, you know what a Pingu party entails.

So, how about a little rundown of the events this year?

[ QUOTE ]
Event: Pingu 4th Anniversary Party
Date: Sunday, 5/31/2009
Time: 7pm EST/4pm PST - 11pm EST/8pm PST

[/ QUOTE ]
Now, in the past, we've given away inf and IOs, but with the volatile market this year, we've decided to focus more on nice, pretty little inf. So, the party itself will include the following things:

[ QUOTE ]
1 Billion Inf given away PER HOUR [u]MINIMUM[u]

That's right. I reiterate, minimum of 1 BILLION inf being given away PER HOUR.

It'll be given away through costume contests, bio contests, random giveaways, trivia, pick-up lines contests, and just about anything else we can imagine because 4 hours worth of contests will be nerve-racking otherwise.

[/ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
1 Billion Influence Costume Contest...on the Forums

I'll personally be judging a costume contest here on the forums for the entire week leading up to the party. This is primarily for those who cannot make it to the party, but I obviously can't regulate that idea, so it's just an open contest. I'll make a thread the week before the party, and I'll accept posted screenies, PMed screenies, and emailed screenies at that time. The rest of the rules will be covered then.

First Prize: 500 Million Influence
Second Prize: 300 Million Influence
Third Prize: 200 Million Influence

Villainside Contests!

That's right! This year, we've scratched together some funds and IOs, and we'll be giving away approximately a BILLION infamy worth of cash and prizes!

I'm not sure how Jester's gonna handle the giving away of these funds, but don't fret, he'll be along sometime soon to elaborate.

[/ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Win a Build!

This will be my own personal costume contest, Winner Take All. It's a Heroside-only contest (sorry Villains, it's where my money lies), it's gonna form up at 7pm PST/10pm EST, and the prize is going to be an entire build (either by your design or by mine, if you'd prefer I min/max one for you). A WHOLE BUILD.

DISCLAIMER: Now, obviously it'll take a little time for you to be able to collect on this (I don't make money on the market by forking over BUYITNAO prices all the time ) and there is a limit on the size of the prize (I've got about 2 billion inf set aside for this prize, so that's a de facto cap after 30 days of shopping by myself for the pieces), but if it won't fund your whole build, it'll sure come close.

[/ QUOTE ]

Now, this isn't associated with PERC, PvPEC, WTFeverOtherECsThereAre, SG recruitment, or anything else sinister. I could care less if Devs show up and give pretty yellow titles or people join my group afterwards or whatever, but I won't rule out the possibility of one of these things happening. I'm not gonna ask for any of these things, so if you think such a thing should happen (or you want such a thing), you'll have to lobby for it on your own. That also means that none of these folks are responsible for the ridiculous crap that goes along with the presence of all the Pingus we can scrounge up.

Anyways, if I've missed anything in this announcement, feel free to ask and I'll elaborate. Hope to see ya'll there, we need someone to give away all our money to.

671 and counting...

I support this idea.

I also feel that such changes should be taken on a case-by-case basis. In my opinion, this is a case that deserves such recognition.

We've added a TON more datamining hooks exclusively for Mission Architect as well, so we can easily see spikes in aberrant behavior. Spikes point us to exploits, which points us to log files, which reveal the identities of exploiters. So if you find a really big exploit in the system, I'd encourage you to PM me or another Dev and try to get your Bug Hunter badge, as the alternative is not pretty.

[/ QUOTE ]

I really realy really don't like the wording here. I wonder just what is considered an expliot. You called running KHTF once every three hours an expliot so I wondering what "exactly" is meant here by expliot?

[/ QUOTE ]

If your personal moral compass flip flops or even wavers a little while doing something in the game that is obvious to you is not intended behavior, it's probably an exploit.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is a pretty silly statement since the list of "not intended behavior" over the years has included 6-slotting Damage enhancements, soloing AVs, being able to do about 50% of the things Repeat Offenders do (along with alot of other folks), stacking Vengeance, PvP targeting macros, Whirlwind removing grounding, being able to click glowies while Phased, and a smattering of other things that really aren't things that would cause my "moral compass to flip flop" in a million years. Some of these have been changed, others have been ignored for issues upon issues before being changed, and still others are shrugged off as part of life.

That's a pretty crappy way to explain "if you find a really big exploit".

In fairness...that is exactly what is happening ingame now. If you go to PI on Freedom, people are paying 1-2 million per fun on farms.

We can buy fun directly now?

Now, that's a bit sexist.
I know a girl that if you give her groceries, one of 2 things happens.
Either it'll sit and eventually become smelly garbage.
Or she'll try to cook, and she'll give me a 4 alarm fire.

Now me, I'll give you a meal that will give you an orgasm.

When I was a kid, all that macho dad stuff made me laugh

When I beat my sister's boyfriend's [censored] down the front porch and into the street over a penetration joke, all his en vogue apathy and ignorant disbelief that family members will resort to violence made me giggle.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm sure your sister thought it funny too. But probably not. That leaves only two choices for your daughter to bring home. The first: a eunich who will acquiesce to your every whim or 2: the rebel, biker, drug dealer who possesses their own firearms.

Maybe it never occurred to the guys that the girls also want to get laid? I remember my first job, we had a lady working there who was about 80 years old. She used to tell us how well we have it now. One of her favorite lines was, "When we wanted to have sex we had to get married."

[/ QUOTE ]

With my aggressive lesbianization program, the two choices above are not the only ones on the board. I'm hoping my daughters brings home other girls. Then we'll have something in common and something to talk about. Otherwise, it's all maxi-pads and prom dresses and I only know how to take off one of the previously mentioned things.

As for the girls wanting to get laid all I can say is "nah nah nah I can't hear you cause they're my girls nah nah nah." I plan to live a long, rich life of absolute denial. Pregnancies? We'll name the kids Jesus and be done with it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a single guy without children who worked hard to circumvent those fathers when I was in high school. I won't ever be the shotgun-wielding father, but I can sure understand why some are when guys like me come walking up to their front porch.
