    I was robbed!

    Picture this, I just located the stardock and popped in to see how it looked inside. There I was, minding my own business, and suddenly I was robbed! By a certain questionable character character called... Marko Polo!

    STOP YOU THIEF! I want my money back!

    -Or I'll blast you out of the sky the next time we meet-

    You've been warned

      Hehehe, funny joke. Of course I haven't robbed anyone, I'm a honorable and law-abiding member of TW2002 (check my alignment at trader list) Nevertheless, robbing is impossible, unless:

      (1) you sneak into someone's corporation, then find out where are the corp members and then transfer all their fighters, shields, money and mines to yourself

      (2) you can move to evil side and then you can steal money and goods from ports

        Actually I had just docked at the stardock for the first time and pressed enter at the menu. i got a message that someone had stolen some money from me. The strange thing is that a line appeared with a msg from a certain person named marko. I should have saved the game logs but it was along the lines of "I guess this works..." or something...

        You wouldn't happen to have an evil twin brother would you?

          No, I don't have an evil twin brother. Anyway, a few hours ago I did write a global message "Does this works?" when I was experimenting with message commands. It was the "fed command" (`) which send the message to all players currently online at the game. But I repeat again, it certainly had nothing to do with CapTVK's money!

            That probably explains it, I just happened to receive your message at the wrong time. Sorry for the the false accusation, Marko is innocent.

            So anyone who is evil can rob other players on the stardock?

            There are a few people on the list who show up as evil. I guess the culprit must be one of them. Unfortunately revenge is no longer an option for me, most of their ships have already been destroyed!

              That's the only reason I was keeping Wittlich alive! But I killed him off. Oh well, that's the way the universe expands!

                I just got robbed in Stardock! I was trying all those hidden commands there. First I encountered "B" = "Single's bar" and a prompt: "Are you sure you want to go in?". Well, I didn't want to risk it.

                Then I went on at the alphabet and with "K" there was a message like "someone hit you, you got unconsious and after waking up most of your money are gone". I think I lost 10000 due to that.

                So CapTVK, I'm pretty sure this happened to you too.

                  Yeah, if you hit a key with nothing attached there's a 50% chance that you'll be mugged and lose half your cash.

                    Wow, I was going to try a bunch of other keys, maybe I won't now!

                      I found that out too. Lucky I had most of my credits in the bank at that time.
