Okay, so I decided to log in and read some news and messages and this is what I found...

02/19 10:32 "Your account has been credited with 2000 credits."

Tell me please I'm not Annabelle's next victim...

And if do, PLEASE TAKE BAN HER/HIM.

Contact the admin present ingame?

EDIT: You already did. Just sit back and relax. smile.gif
Lysandus2007-02-19 11:33:28
Don't know if I'm overjoyed by this or this is one of Annabelle's way of getting revenge at me...
Unknown2007-02-19 11:35:50
They'll prob get taken from you.

This is ridiculous, fraud is illegal, I wonder what country Annabelle is from, there should be some way IRE can throw him in jail for this. If he's locked up for a few years he won't be able to keep doing this. whatthe.gif

Just let them sit for a few days. Don't go selling them or using them, it'll make clean-up that much easier for the admin.

Crimes committed over the Internet are pretty hard to even bring someone to trial, never mind getting a conviction. Though, if it's all being done based in the US then it becomes easier.

Yeah, I'm not touching them and doing my best not to give in. content.gif

Woah that sucks... 2000 creds just sitting there. Not using those would kill me.
Shorlen2007-02-19 14:48:48
Annabelle is a New Zealander, if I remember correctly.

So this is credit card fraud that's being done to get the credits, then? Why is he wasting his time scamming credits in a MUD? He could at least try to get some cash or something useful out of it. This is just reaffirming my opinion that "Annabelle" isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.
Lysandus2007-02-19 15:41:43
he/she wanted to help her favoured place, and that is Celest, if you read the logs there had been several donations. I already told him/her that it won't get her a solid ground in here if she sells them illegally.
Lysandus2007-02-19 16:39:51
You have been given -2000 credit(s).

Well that settles it, the same person who was selling illegal credits was hoping to frame me for credit fraud.

Thank goodness I never gave in to buying artifacts with illegal credits even when tempted to do so.
Genevieve2007-02-19 16:42:05
I can say with some surity that nearly all of us would have been at least tempted.
Lucan2007-02-19 18:05:29
They should reward you for your honesty. happy.gif

Seriously though, that's really pathetic. I knew Annabelle on Achaea, her characters were always trying to get into my pants. I remember she made a chara named Isune and I thought that was weird, since I knew Isune to be a Lusternian God...then all of a sudden Ialie Starfall shows up in Achaea. blink.gif

That guy/girl's got issues.

I'm sitting on some of these creds too... I just don't know how to contact Estarra to resolve it short of messaging her and just sitting around.

I wonder, can you just transfer them to her for 0 gold and then message her?
Reiha2007-02-19 19:47:53
She told Ildaudid she would prefer to do it while both she and the player were in realms. Still waiting to transfer the 30 credits I owe her.

Why do people think she likes Celest? If anything, she hates it if she keeps doing this over and over and over, inconveniencing the players there and getting them into trouble (although that would be partly their fault for being greedy, too).

Edit: Forgot about this...

I actually tried to sell them to Estarra for 3,000 gold each, but she didn't like that method. She perferred summoning me, taking the credits, giving me the gold, and putting me back where I was : D Simpler for her, I suppose.

If you have a question about what you should do, should you get a large amount of credits, issue yourself.
