Just wondering about it.

I concentrate on a couple special pets but like to juggle a couple dozen on the side for fun. I tend to confuse one lad for another, which I do intentionally quite often. It makes things get interesting.

Here's where you can sign up for a mentor: http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=122306

This becomes addicting, just so you know.

Thanks for the tip. I will sign up for a lovely mentor... Do you think they happen to have a nice blonde chick-mentor for me?

Aye,

As many as I like, somewhere between 1 to 10-12 depending, you run into a victim, get angry and take on yet another one or the lad gets too boring and you drop him, it changes all the time. I have now five or six and trying to get to another one to play with me to get confirmation for a victim on scamwarners, have a bait out for a love lad from this site that hurt a victim bad, dropped a new "girl" in a new date forum to see what and who, I don't know how many I have, the ones that write get a reply, maybe Confused

Everyone is different. The general rule is you take as many as you're comfortable with.

I usually have one "main" bait, which usually takes the form of an ongoing straight timewaster bait, and I also do bank-account-closure baiting on the side. Got 7 people that I'm trying to drill an account number out of at the moment. Hoping to have my first SiggyPiggy soon. Razz

For the purposes of this poll, I've put 1. Smile

I use scattergun and template baiting methods, both of which require large numbers of Lads to bait.

With the scattergun approach I ASEM a pile of Lads with a request or proposition and expect only a few takers, but it means I can step over having to do too much straight baiting beforehand and find Lads who are ripe and ready for special fun.

With template baiting I aim to hit one type of scammer and run them through a series of set template replies without having to pay much attention to their replies. The object is just to tie them up in pointless mails.

I'm a little tied up just now but when I'm back at full speed I can be mailing 100 or more Lads at once, though probably only about 50 will be getting regular mails from me.

I am fairly new to this and am juggling two at once for the first time. I think that is about all I can handle since I like to think a few steps ahead on each bait and too much of that makes my brain hurt.

So keep it easy^, bait the same guy several times and different speed, so your character#1 gets the questions and #2 and #3 can block those before he has asked them, only one story to remember and when he gets too boring; #1 meets #2 and tells the lad about it Wink

I have 5 right now, but it usually fluctuates between 2 and 10 that I'm actively sending emails back and forth on. I'll send out ASEMs and lottolad insults every couple of weeks to flush out some fresh lads to play with.

2-3 max, unless there is a special boi that needs some extra treatment.

Posted: Sat Jan 10, 2009 8:31 pm

You can of course, and many do) bait the same lad from more than one email address playing different characters.

Posted: Sat Jan 10, 2009 8:36 pm

I believe in quantity over quality. I think I'm doing 40+ at the moment. As long as they're happy, so am I. Laughing

Every now and then a lad deserves special attention, which he will get.

@ Umagon

"Do you think they happen to have a nice blonde chick-mentor for me?"

I am certain they will provide one for you.

Unless you can handle more than one, perhaps.

They are all raised from free range eggs and any brunettes or red heads are refused membership.

Well, I am a brunette-boy as well, so i should be refused. Can someone kick me out? Twisted Evil

My goodness, those results make for interesting reading. I thought I was being lazy only baiting 4 or 5 at a time. Looks like most others are doing about the same or less. Well well.

But next to baiting there are other activities that take spare time away.
How about trying your luck at fake bank killing Question

Hop over to the neighbors and see if you can help some real victims in need. Question

Help out as a mentor and help the newbies start safe Question

It's not all baiting that is done here, plenty of ways to waste a minute or two Wink

Oh my goodness...just went and counted...14! With 4 names. How did that happen? Shocked

Some only require a response every few days. Two are in deflect mode before being told their bank account seems to have been closed. One is a check scammer also in deflect before being told the check in no good. Several are love lads that are getting similar emails..often containing glurge pulled from a previous love lad. A couple that are requiring special care.

This site needs to come with the Surgeon General's Warning - "May Cause Addiction".

I do best with 2 or 3. Smile

I usually have around 10 in the pipe at any one time. They are all in various stages of development. A couple have been around for a while (more that 6 months) and there are always one or two that wilt and die early.

The biggest challenge is to keep the lads distracted as long as possible to avoid the money transfer part of the bait which usually signalsan eventual ending (in about 2-3 months Mad

) Always work to take them off their script and into new territory... Very Happy

I have about 7.

Three are serious time waster lads that I spend hours with.
The other four are at the getting to know you stage.
If they pass my test they will be added to the serious time wasting stage.

My only problem is I have three characters im baiting from at the same time on YIM. I wish I had been the same character to all the lads.
Much less confusing. I have one lad who is baited with two of my characters and another lad who has baited me with two of his characters,lol...

Posted: Sun Jan 11, 2009 7:29 am

Interesting results. I didn't think so many baiters would bait 10+.
Keep up the good job Very Happy
