Tatita spent $141.39 on 5million gil to buy a scorpion harness. I'm reading this info straight from his account. The order is still proccessing, but I wanted to let ppl on the Fenrir server know.
Please, if you know this dude, slap his ass up.

Most likely an anonymous mule.... that will transfer the gil to an unknown main account later. There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot,
but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence
transform a yellow spot into the sun.

Unfortunately, beating the stupid senseless doesn't really make them smarter. Trust me, I battle the forces of idiocy on a daily basis, and no matter how many I take out, there's always 10 more to take their place.
Outside of the detrimental effects to the in-game economy, gil-buyer's are more a source of sick amusement to me than anything else. An idiot with a Scorpion Harness is still an idiot... /blist ftw. I'm a slow motion accident, lost in coffee rings and fingerprints...

Please, if you know this dude, slap his ass up. I can't because I'm not on this server. | The name sounds familiar, but I'm not positive. I'll keep an eye out for him ^^. A Scorpion Harness cost less then 2 mil last I checked and I can't imagine it going up higher.
BUUUUUT this is not all I have to say ^^
This week I will be getting my insurance check for getting hit by a car when I was 4 (just before I turned 5). 8000 dollars (I get 8thou once a year until I'm 24). Guess what I'm going to spend it on!
VITRUAL BEER */laugh * I'm kidding. ^^ I'm buying a vacation with it.
I won't be stupid enough to buy gil. I UNDERSTAND how to make gil on my own in this game, slow and fast (usually slow). When I log on I'm going to see if this Tatita is a mule or real character. @Summoner@Tarutaru@Fenrir server@ Redpage Last edited by Dasutin : 02-08-2007 at 04:09 AM.

Another thing you could do is print out flyers and post them all over school, stating the obvious, of course.  | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | All times are GMT -8.
