Is buying an apple for 20k legal?

Jap · #1 01-15-2002, 05:19 AM

Here is what happend.

I was simply selling SOME apples for 0 gralat. Then, I sold one for 20,000 without saying it would be 0g or saying it would be any amount of money. I had no banner saying ANY apple would be free or pay. I had NO banner at all. Anyways, I get this 20,000 that I had taken away! Alkaren, along with Loriel agree its a LEGAL SALE. So, why was 20,000 taken away from me?

I agree
Jap. (1/14/2002 4:26:56 PM):
It's legal to scam someone with apples if you had no banner that said free, no
police were there, and I never said they would always be 0 right?

Alkaren Hyralt (Police) (1/14/2002 5:04:21 PM):
Scamming is legal without police witness. But if Loriel chooses to be one scam
illegal, that is his choice, as an admin.

Kasuagi · #2 01-15-2002, 05:22 AM

give Jap his 20k! you would have to be a ***** to fall for an apple scam, ecspecially with 20k on your account

i say, the guy deserved it

if police were there and banner was up then you should get in trouble.

but if not people should look at what they type.

there was no banner
it was a legal scam
and something karakaze was proud of

As I said Loriel may choose to do that if he so wishes, that is his right. Any high admin has that right as well. But you really should have taken this up privately with him, rathar than posting it all over the forums. I thought you were better than that.

Psyker · #6 01-15-2002, 05:24 AM

if you're that stupid to get scammed, you deserve it.

Joushi Aciedon (Santerrain) (1/14/2002 5:07:41 PM):
HAHAHHAHHA .... got it back idiot

and after that, he ignored me.

Infamy · #7 01-15-2002, 05:25 AM

People should really think first before they buy stuff they don't need so give Jap his hard earned cash monies back now before i PK yo arse!

No Police were there. Only Police that were on at the time was, Griffyn.

*Griffyn (Police) (1/14/2002 5:10:23 PM):
no why

Did you see when I sold an apple for 20k to AcidIce?

spi · #9 01-15-2002, 05:25 AM

Already did. he is giving me the dreadful SILENT TREATMENT!

BlKnight · #12 01-15-2002, 05:26 AM

Serves him right for having 20k and still wanting more apples. Taking apples away from the poor homeless and gralatless newbies! Are you discriminating against newbies whoever gave AcidIce back his 20k?? lol j/k

This wouldn't have happened if Mung was on the staff list.

Romeo2k · #24 01-15-2002, 05:32 AM

His fault.
Give money back to Jap.

It's pretty bad if you have been playing graal for such a length of time and still risk your gralats for a crummy apple ;-)

Kasuagi · #25 01-15-2002, 05:33 AM

scamming should be legal, period

it's the players fault that their scammed

I dont even see it as scamming. Scamming is when you lie. I did nothing of the such. And please, stay on the subject.

it is unless a police or staff/admin sees you doing it or you get a ridiculus amount of cash monies like Jap just did.

spi · #30 01-15-2002, 05:36 AM

i remember when i scammed red venimos bomy

AlexH · #31 01-15-2002, 05:37 AM

anyways Jap should get the money bacause he wasnt massing that there was free apples at his stand or his banner wasnt set as free apples or anything like that
so he shoud get to keep it

Kasuagi · #32 01-15-2002, 05:38 AM

when you go out to your mailbox and check the mail, you take a risk. just as buying an apple for 0g, you are taking a risk!

no one typed in "buy item 1" except acid, he also hit enter by accident

Why does the money make a differance? 1g or 20,000g? Same thing happend in both situations lets say. Same elements of the apple buy. Same everything.

Because 1g is simple to get where as 20,000 takes like months to earn.
