Thank you for the support and thumbs up. We reached 100 upvotes, so we should get some developer feedback soon. Let us hope they implement our suggestion.
I am generally a nice person and when I don't have much to lose, I like to trust others to do the right thing. So naturally, when a player [1775785] asked for a 10 Million dollar loan in the trade chat, that he was going to pay back I just sent him 5 Million, no questions asked, and simply waited to see what would happen. The day came when his bank investment was supposed to come out and, sadly, he didn't contact me. A few days later I decided to remind him that he still had outstanding debt, to which he replied that his Bank Investment had not yet finished. I knew that instant, that unfortunately this guy had let me down. Over the next few days I simply (in a nice way) reminded him that he owed me money...
Unfortunately, he did not feel the need to reply. This made me angry since, in my opinion, if you are going to screw somebody over, you should at least stand by it. So I asked him to either pay his debt, or simply tell me that he did not plan on paying his debt back. He took this to mean that now he could insultingly tell me to f**k off, which I found anything but nice. So I did what any reasonable Torn Player would do. I sold all my points and proceeded to bounty him.
For about 3 days he kept telling me how great my bounties were and he was getting sooo many defends (I counted them through his stats: 3 in total) so I felt even better knowing that while I was getting my revenge, I was also doing good! One day he told me that he had 50 Million in assets and I should just stop bountying him, because he would end up on the winning side in the end. Again I did what any other Torn Player would do and swiftly replied that I had 100,000,000 in assets that I would use to bounty him.
This amazed him, so he asked me how I made my money. I replied (not thinking he would take me seriously) that I had an item which payed me 200,000 every time I placed a bounty and that I made my cash placing bounties on level 1s (so I get 190,000 each bounty). This was meant to also imply (jokingly) that I made money from placing bounties on him. Surprisingly, he bought this and asked me where I got such an item. I was baffled, but decided to play along. I told him I had won it off of the Torn Facebook Page, and that the item was in fact comprised of 10 special shares from the stock market that could not be bought separately, and each share gave you 20k per bounty (so I get a total of 200k).
To my amazement, he not only believed me, but had no idea there was a stock market or how it worked. He did, however, ask me if I would be willing to sell him 2 of my shares. It is here were I saw my chance! I asked him to purchase a stock ticker so we could trade these special shares, and offered me 2 Million and his complete armor set. I bought two shares of Big Als Gunshop and started the trade.
Here, I expected him to notice. I thought he would grow suspicious what the price of the two shares concerned or something like that. But no, he simply accepted the trade!
Anyway, after this (in my opinion) amusing story, what should I do with his stuff. He already noticed that he has been scammed (Dude, I can purchase 4000 of these shares from the market?!) and asked for his items back. Should I do it?
