I guess they have to give dethifier his moneys worth now, or the whole situation will look more of a joke than it already is.

So all you have to do is pay a lot of peds for something and MA will pay you off in the end by the looks of it. Assuming they do, I wonder if the same thing would be done for an unknown avatar?!?
 
Nice :) ya please edit the text beause text is whit lot of ''?'' :yay:
 
He probably used notepad or something then straight copy and pasted which can mess up on some forums, best to type this kind of thing in MS Word Skam.
 
The circus Continuous...

Lets hope the clown hatches soon!!! ;)

zzzzz ... Who gives a shit about an egg??

How about you get your effing act together and pay out withdrawals a little faster... over 30 days and still no Euros in my account...

Angel
 
In a Q&A chatroom session some time ago I asked a question. The question, while not word for word, went something like...Was the outcome of the egg decided by the 100K PED ND paid for it? Which was answered with some waffle which basically said yes.

Another question.

Has the fate of the unique egg once more changed direction due to the enormous sum of money recently paid for it?

I won't hold my breath for an answer this time :D
 
"Deathifier eats an atrox omelette with a value of 690 000 ped and is recorded it the Hall of Fame":scratch2:

or "This creature didn't carry any loot.":laugh::laugh::laugh:

Personally I hope the second scenario happens but because of the PR it will produce and because of that income... MA will probably reward this bs dick measuring contest:handjob:

I have an idea I will sell the loot from the next mob I hunt, I will start the bids at 10k USD.... by this logic if you payed 10k$ for it MA will make it worth 10k$.... :twocents:

That is indeed the logical conclusion. And I don't like it one bit. Obviously it only works for unique items... Still don't like it though.

I think it will be:

"Because this egg was not put in a hatching machine, the insides has rot. Please dispose of the egg in the nearest Omegaton Trashbin" :D
 
I want to see all your faces in the year 2017, when DF visits the rig:

This is a clash of character encodings, EF uses standard ASCII (ANSI) and entropiagateway uses utf-8.

All characters have to be re-encoded using html entities, so you should blame bertha for all the "?"s

Yea right lol

It would more likely to be, you have hatched new mob if it was an unknown participant. Just a new mob worth 69k usd would be a slap in the face.

so,

ND buys the thing for a silly amount of money and MA has to make up a storyline for him.

ND gets tired of waiting, sells it to Death for a truly stupid amount of money, ND and FPC turn it into a media event, and then they have to recalculate the egg's contents.

What if I pay Death a genuinely retarded amount of money for it, what do I get? Lear Jet? Piece of the company? Screwed?

You get a decorational egg, since you're not on the sponsored avatars list ;)
