Most scammers don't take the time to act wounded after though. He is top rate.

For what it's worth, a check with google makes ikobo look like a real and effective solution. If it works, is it a scam to inform folk of same?? Because it is a first post, does that mean he hasn't been lurking for a great while, finally found something he thought he could contribute, and this was him trying to help??

Yeah, quite possibly, but no posts at all elsewhere means that the suspicion of some ( ) cynical people is probably warranted.

[Bloody Monk]

Yeah, quite possibly, but that's what the first time looks like, doesn't it??

BTW...and this is most certainly apocryphal...

Someone asked Billy the Kid what it was like to kill a man. After a thoughtful pause he said, "Well, I can tell you this much. It gets really easier after the first time."

If, we don't hear from him again...then the balance will tilt to the skeptical side.

Well see when I arrived here I didn't have any strategy or things like that to boast about either. Heck I didn't know how to play SMAC properly at the time. Fortunetaly there was a demo game starting so my first post was at the demo forum. Not to say it is any less suspicious, for quite some people were also proposing later that settlers should not be accepted into any teams because they might be DLs for infiltration purpose. So all I'm trying to say is that you got to give some time for people to prove themselves before you become real mean to them.

I mean it's ok to be mean to the deities, but not the settlers.

and is it ok to be mean to princesses?

[DrSpike]

Yeah, it brought back memories.

Make your own call. And take your own risks.

Well, I would be very flattered if I actually were a scammer, spammer, whatever (wow, it rhymes), but since I'm not one, I'm just offended. As someone said I believe, I was just looking around here and when I saw someone asking for help about transferring money I decided to jump in and give a hand. Boy, was I wrong. I'll make sure I won't try and help anyone in the future, I'm an inch away from being kicked out or being cursed by someone. Thanks a lot!

Denzel, don't get offended by them. Stick around and you'll get many chances to shovel the same thing right back to them.
