Hi guys n gals.

is there a badge we can earn that can be used for no shows at the airport? this would be when our characters has "flown" to meet our lads but not shown.

In a recent bait I had my lad asking where i was, i wasnt on the flight because they had checked (or bribed) to check the passenger list.

maybe a plane logo could be used?

also, is there a WU logo we could use for all the times we have sent our pets to claim money at western union?

what do you think?

also, whilst on the subject what is the code that you use in your signiture to show the logos? i need to put a safari down Cool

just found out how to add the code for safari, should have read the sticky sorry Cool

and next you'll be asking for a badge, logo, or whatever, every time you receive an email from a lad. Laughing

How about Eater giving out free t-shirts for every bait that lasts longer than 3 months? Laughing

Sorry, Dicon Mihed, but I am unable to take your post seriously. Wink

Come on! Very Happy

Lads waiting at airports! Totally old school but still a fun way to waste their time.

Well i've been out of the game for 5 years, what is old skool now was new skool when i started baiting all those years ago Cool

i guess i'll have to go with the new times now and all the young new whippersnappers

ooo me bones dont aff feel the cold now adays! Cool

^^ Old School ^^ ?
I think that when the lad isn't there, but has to hire a "friend" to go and check, you wreck his credibility with the rest of the scene and he looses money, I think it's the right thing to do when you can't get him on a journey.

Trips to WU? I would never be able to keep track of how many times. Laughing

I agree with others that that one is silly.

I do think we should have an icon for Videos though. . . maybe like a smaller version of Bombardier's video camera?

Where did you publish the safari? with ip's?

How about a badge for everytime that you log in to Eater?

Posted: Wed Mar 05, 2008 4:36 pm

^ CobCob, it's called the PWT thread, post in there everytime you log in, you don't need to worry about the subject, just post

Posted: Wed Mar 05, 2008 5:37 pm

but seriously we get no medals for what we do just a warm fuzzy feeling that you have done your upmost to screw the lad around for a good length of time.

while you screw with him he aint trying it all on with someone who could be a victim.

i will get you a badge if you can make his eyes bleed

Wait- you get a badge for NOT getting on a plane? I didn't get on a plane yesterday, or the day before, or the day before that...

Posted: Wed Mar 05, 2008 5:50 pm

Badges? We don't need no sticking badges! Laughing

Gosh earning a badge would make me feel like a Girl Scout. Maybe I can get a lad to sell some cookies.

But on the other hand having a secret handshake so we could tell the other baiters out there would be nice. Smile

It was a fairly reasonable question...no need to keep taking the piss, folks.

Posted: Wed Mar 05, 2008 6:18 pm

Personally I see his point...I have thoroughly enjoyed the baits when I got my lad to go meet me at the airport. It may not qualify as a safari, but it still gets the lad out of the internet cafe and on the road, even if it's just to the airport - and damn they do get pissed off when you don't show up!

Although I do agree that, given the skills of so many of our great baiters in here, it's too easy a task these days to award a badge for it. I've had about 6 or 7 airport no-shows myself.

Part of the problem with airport no-shows is that you really can't confirm it the way you can a safari. As I understand it, a safari is not confirmed until you get an email with headers from the distant location proving the lad actually made the trip. With airport no-shows, all you get is a pissed off lad email you later that you never showed up. You don't really have proof that he was waiting for you at the airport, in spite of how believable his anger may be.

So to give the OP's original question a real answer - I like the idea, but I think these days it's 1) too easy a task, and 2) too unverifiable for a badge.

Posted: Wed Mar 05, 2008 6:18 pm

I do think the "waiting at the airport" technique is still quite valid [edit: Cachuma put it better ^^]. Especially here in the UK where it typically costs the mugu a bit to get to reasonable meeting airports (London Gatwick being a particularly good example).

P.S. Good to see you back, Dicon. You and Juan F. have my favorite baiter names of all time.

Bombardier and I have video cameras because shiver had them added before he left for those of us who did get vids from scammers. So if you have a vid - use the code Smile

The OP had a practical though not a feasible question.
Information doesn't get exchanged unless questions are asked.
A lot of the modalities that we practice here were hatched from a question or idea that someone posted.
Questions should be encouraged, even if they are deemed to be silly; the OP shouldn't be made to feel bad for asking.

Let's move on.

Bugger! I was just about to ask if I could have a pink pony for every beautiful woman that I have ever made love to. Until I realised I already had them. Very Happy
