When my inbox starts filling up with these, I'm holding you personally responsible.
My name is Random, and I'm an alt-aholic.
Main / Badger: Flamesprite - Fire/Fire Blaster - Triumph
Global: @Dynamite Monkey
Way too many alts on Triumph, Virtue, Protector, Champion, and Exalted.
In Asia there's a way that people pool their money to help each other out. How it could work in game:
-12 people each put in 10 mil inf. every month into one big pot
-Each person is designated a month
-Whomever's month it is, gets to take the money (120 mil) in the pot and spend as they need.
If you have a group of trustworthy people, it's actually pretty handy. Immigrants to the US do it all the time, they put in $1000 bucks and get to have $10K to use at one time to start up a business or what not without having to deal with banks n such.
Of course there have been plenty of stories of people running off with the pot once they get it...
Triumph Lurker: mintmiki 50 emp/archer
basically, if you see a miki on Triumph, it's probably cute and it's probably me.
Huge thanks to cuppamanga and all the folks in the mac help forum for prolonging my borrowed time on this game.

Generally, you send payment to each name on the list. Then you remove the top name and add yours to the bottom. In real life, you must write a note saying "Add me to your list" to get around the loopholes in the US Postal Code.
In real life, I got one of these letters in the late 80s/early 90s. I was young and in a bad spot, so I fell for it. I know 6 people got paid and then I got fruitless exercise on my way to the mailbox for a year.
The biggest issue is:
Why not just copy the letter, but put your name in each spot that you have an account and then add your friends in above it? Then just send out your version to whoever you can.
That's generally what happens and all we end up with is junk mail.
All in all, if this type of thing starts, it will snowball. It's bad enough that we have to endure xingxangxong pestering us with "we grow you big monies give credit card we give you gold" bull^%$. If players start doing this, I hope they PermaBan anyone who touches one of these letters and forwards it.

I've already started getting rid of my Centriole Exposures in this manner. First recipient was a fellow Championite:
"Hello, @XXXX, I am a Paragonian Princess that has come across this rare item of power (Centriole Exposure) and cannot harness its abilities. Please make use of this as best you can or send it to a less fortunate hero. It would truly a shame if this epic-level enhancement (Centriole Exposure) went unused and unwanted."

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
Centriole's are Damage/Range.
So not worthless, but not the best either, and (if I'm remembering correctly) in the past they were like the most common HO to drop.
Oh and this isn't really what I'd call Multi-Level Marketing, it's a Pyramid Scheme (not that there's much difference between the two) :P

If you want a cheaply enhanced fun blaster, take an nrg/nrg, slot 2 centrioles in every ranged power, hit boost range and snipe from the next county. Your tier 2 blast will have snipe-ish range.

THE FOLLOWING IS ONLY A SAMPLE, AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR REAL USE! Hello friend. Want to earn billions of Inf? It's easy using the new Gleemail system. Here's how it works. Send 1 Million Inf via Gleemail to the top global name below. Then remove the top name, add your name to the bottom, and forward this on to all of your global friends. They need to be friends that will accept your email, or this won't work! Then sit back and relax. If you have good friends, they'll pass the email on. Soon, you'll be getting Gleemails for a million Inf. Since the system limits you to 20 Gleemails with attachments, you'll want to log in often to collect all of your Inf! You'll earn enough to give up your Day Job. But you have to follow the instructions above exactly! @Smurphy @Boltcutter @Nethergoat @Mrs. TopDoc @TopToc |

Excuse me people. I need to take TopDoc out back and *cracks knuckles* 'splain somethin' to him. For his own good.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Santorican, I hate you.
Every single time I read one of your posts I want to watch "The Dark Knight" again just to see that scene. =P

what you really gotta do is get like 5 versions going at once, with each one having 2-3 names on it that are different than any of the other versions and intermixing the other 2-3 names. So sez @cyvert
I am an ebil markeeter and will steal your moneiz ...correction stole your moneiz. I support keeping the poor down because it is impossible to make moneiz in this game.
Ah.
This explains why I keep getting mailed 1 million Inf.

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
Figured I'd try this and see how many people actually bother - just hope I dont get banned or anything. I'd epic facepalm at being banned for giving away influence.

It depends on what you want to do with the power you slot them in. I have two Blasters with the Munitions pool, and they both have LRM slotted with 3 Centrioles, two Accuracy IOs, and a Recharge IO. This gives LRM a base range of 234 feet, and with Boost Range that goes up to over 360 feet. Boost Range, a couple of reds if I'm feeling nasty, Build Up, and then that completely oblivious spawn waaaay over there has all the minions go away and the lieutenants seriously injured.

When people send you money you should at least read the card it came in. I know full well I forwarded the entire message to each time I sent a million.
