I've seriously considered buying it these days.

Hehe, I've still got it listed redside. It's been there a while now, over a year I think.

Here's the original advert:

Every villain knows that there is one thing in life that can't be stolen. It can't be embezzled, and it can't be tricked out of people. It must be earned.

Respect.

Respect comes not from reaching your goal, but from the path you took to get there. Not from what you own, but from how you got it. It comes from destroying what your enemies value most, just to prove you can.

Respect only comes from committing yourself to do, that which others fear to do.

Be the first. Be the only.

That a good start? Heh.

But anyways...would you sell them to me for 10% off recipe price or 10 off crafted price?

Ah alright. Well...sounds like we would have to be on the same server?

lmao!!! i was talking to one of my sg buddies about the 2 billion dollar Miracle and he did not believe me, he said if there is not screen shot then there is no proof.

I tried to find it on the forums (well if you consider spending 30 seconds of looking as "trying to find it") and then gave up.

Just shot him an email.

... for me the point of doing this would be to destroy additional inf through Wents sales. In other words, I would be willing to burn 10 million inf if you burn 10 million inf as well. If we're on the same server I would just be giving you money. I am willing to match your inf destruction, not replace it.

[/ QUOTE ]

This whole thing is over my head I know you're trying to destory inf, but I'm really not sure what's going on.

How did you gain access to that 6B? Or are you counting 3B of your own inf and 3B of prestige buyers' inf?

And for a while things were cold,
They were scared down in their holes
The forest that once was green
Was colored black by those killing machines

For prestige buys I count both mine and theirs. I don't have an up-to-date number but I put in well over a billion of my own.

For marketing transactions (buy/craft/sell, or flip) I count only 10% of the sell price or (if higher) 10% of buy + ingredients, plus 100% of craft price.

For transfers between servers I count 10% of transfer (the went-fee). This is generally related to cross-server transactions. "I need a billion influence on pinnacle, I have a billion infamy" and the next guy is "I need 400 million infamy on Freedom, have 500 million influence on freedom" - so I move 500 million infamy to freedom, 50 million gets fed to the Went-beast. I make around 50 million profit, minus the wentfee (unless I charge them Went's fees, which I only sometimes do. )

Most of my market churning is profitable- with the crazy differential on level 40 Miracles v-side, for instance, I bought one for 91 million and sold it for 150 million. I may even have bought it CRAFTED. And notch up another 15 million in Black Market fees.

EDIT: If I'm crafting for my own use I count 10% (purchase price + ingredient price) + crafting cost. Every million counts, that's what I say.

So you think you're a hero, huh.

Fulmens chipped in 400M to encourage me to convert the same amount of influence to prestige. So, together, we burned 800M influence to create 1.6M Prestige for my sg.

Thanks Fulmens!

Boggle indeed!

raise the costs of all current inf holes by the weight of influence withholding.

This includes any Auction fees. Any transaction of influence other than player-player trade.

For example. Someone with 10 billion influence pays 500k for a basic SO from a vendor. Someone with 100k pays only 15k. Someone with 3k pays 11k (and thus can't afford it).

Scale up infinitely. Someone with 10 trillion pays 5 billion (which is a 10x greater ratio than 500k/10mil on purpose.
