Prior to posting xxx amount of credits to the market
After posting xxx amount of credits to the market
So whoever figured that out either 1) was selling constantly or 2) told someone or 3) kept adding credits to the market

Someone "anonymously" posts their credits on the market.

I'd get upset if I got mugged, but I am sure most would too. I am apathetic about it since I don't sell credits myself, but I do feel for those who do get owned this way.
There are two options when posting credits, anonymous and bank wire. Both have been around for a long time. While the bank-wire option is fool-proof (cash goes straight to the bank), the anonymous option is not by virtue of the pantheon. That is why bank-wire is generally more expensive.
i'm not gonna lie, i thought about doing it, but i figured it took too much time.

Apparently, they are watching the wealth, not the credit patheon, which does make this applicable.
But I was under the impression we were talking about the credit side of the patheon, not the wealth side of it.

We are being accused of having higher intelligence and cunning than we actually have and it is this that we take offense at.
I have it on good authority that you all took a vote and decided to find the anonymous poster.You divided into teams, robbed the poor bloke till his eyes bled.I bet you even took his dole money too.I just hope you left enough on him for a cup of tea and bacon sandwich :cry:
Sv's finest hour

Which bit has no one understood yet. Our members didnt watch the pantheon. This was coincidence between two of our members.

Well darn, topic re-opened for debate.
Use the bank-wire option.
Debate over.

So would it be ok for Zen to check the mails you guys exchanged then?

ok....follow the story here....it was coincidence...which you know what...i rarely mug or participate in schemes...the sv just got lucky...i actually had no knowledge of this whole thing until a mail was sent to our gang and this thread was started...you all young players have no idea really what it means to be mugged....lots of oldschoolers would buy your credits and mug you online or not

I'm not saying it was your members, I was just stating what I was told in an email. Whether it's true or not, whatever either way it goes someone lost out.
That being said, I would assume that in order to move in the rankings you'd have to have a lot of worth anyway.
