A friendly warning to all the recruiters, faction leaders, traders, company owners and all the other people that might come across Kdogg123dead [2695580]
Beggar, scammer and just a pain in the butt.
Since joining our faction was begging every day, many-many times a day for money, xanax and revives. Sure, we dont mind helping eachother and others. Occasional revives, lending money here and there. But asking many times a day for loans up to 100 mil, xanax, revives every half an hour..thats a bit..too much. And allthough he did return the money loaned, it was done by asking privately for another loan from others. He still owes money and xanax though. When asked to return what he owes, his response is: "Dont be a karen". The need for constant revives and meds come from the fact that he is being constantly bountied by most people he "does business" with. But its not THAT bad, since he sometimes does offer up to 50k for a revive. 50k, while the usual price is what, 1 mil/xan?
Not really useful while chaining either. Will do the absolute minimum to not get kicked out and thats it. After being called out, he just started yelling karen and 2xkaren at everyone. After being Finally kicked out to the accompaniment of cheers and dancing he decided to have a deep and meaningful conversation with me. Heres a snippet:


Kdogg123dead: karen
Kdogg123dead: KAREN
Kdogg123dead: karen
Kdogg123dead: KAREN
Kdogg123dead: karen
Kdogg123dead: fugly


Also some bounties:


Someone has placed a bounty on you with a reward of $9 and the reason: karen


Wonder who could that be. He even paid extra to be anonymous. I guess he had to take out another loan for that.


And lastly one more snippet that I found really funny:


Kdogg123dead: try mugging me never got any money so pointless trying hahahahahahahah karen will get karen lol
Kdogg123dead: 500m of my money is safe away from the faction hahahah
Kdogg123dead: off shore is best
Lodbrok: Why should i mug you? The bounties are good and will never run out
Lodbrok: And btw networth is public
Lodbrok: You have -1 mil
Kdogg123dead: yeah and never said in mine
Kdogg123dead: i pay someone to keep it in theres
Kdogg123dead: i trade 19 times a day lmao


Sounds kinda SUS to me.

I generally discourage people from making posts like this, if nothing else but to save them the karma bombing and bounty drowning.

However

In this particular case, this guy really does seem to just generally be a dick and it's worth pointing it out. I'm not in anyway leadership for a faction or a company, nor do I have near enough pull with either to be giving recommendations or blacklisting people, but as someone who sees beggars in new players chat almost nonstop, I cannot stress enough that it's really not a good idea and you can and will regret begging beyond a certain point (especially in global). Scamming, as irritating as it is, is allowed in game. That's not me encouraging people to scam others, nor is it me discouraging people posting awareness threads. I will say though that generally, most of the scammers that get salt threads made about them have the resources to make you regret it. This doesn't seem to be one of those cases though.

We've all met Karens before, we've all had to deal with them. If you haven't, you're either very very lucky or you're the Karen. As frustrating as it is to deal with Karens, calling them that out loud to their face in a public chat is just low, especially when you spam it (especially especially since spamming is a big no no in chats and forums).

I'm sure there's more to the story that I'm not seeing, but that doesn't invalidate or excuse what has been shared here.

EDIT: Either kdogg is spam reporting people for shitposting or Pat took this post personally, for whatever reason XD

EDIT 2:
Elizabeth: You do realise that spam reporting can get you banned right?
Kdogg123dead: oh well gel on

Assholes are assholes... That said, I don't really care enough to remember when I lend people money in the $10M range, probably forgotten to pay people as well but... They could remind me if I did and they cared.

Sounds like this guy is a one way street though, and those are leeches.
Redgrave [2516478]
Yep. And its not about the money and none of us will die because of some millions, but its the constant begging and crying. Like I said to him: gotta learn to feed yourself and wipe your own ass.
Meredith_Grey [2700181]
Also worth noting- his "wife" was put in perm-fed jail; marked for deletion. When asked what happened he said "Ched didn't believe that we were two different people."

BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT.

Sadly your friend has rabies. Possibly caused by casino issues!

Fear not you can always get new friends who dont have rabies!

Always be vigilant!

And use common sense rather than looking into a players history?

Easier to let any muppet join and then bitch about it in the forums than taking your own action...

OP needs to man up and deal with their own mistakes...
Redgrave [2516478]
Did I ever ask someone to do anything or to deal with my nonexistant problems or whatever? Post was made so people wouldnt waste their time with him. Jesus.
Sweeney_Todd [27468]
Then why post it?

Most people will look into a person joining their faction, you didn't...

You expect other players now to bounty this prick as your entire faction couldn't deal with it by youselves...

Research and man up...
Redgrave [2516478]
Where did I ask anybody to bounty him? He was bountied 24/7 even before getting kicked out.
And he joined us when he was pretty fresh. Nothing much to look into.
And not a single faction looked into his torn history or whatever after he got kicked. But every one of them was grateful for the heads up.
I get it, youve got nothing to do with this info. And its okay. Some people might find it helpful.
I dont like fish, I dont go around fishmarkets telling people that their fish is useless to me.
