Some of my new mentees have grand goals, but the feeling of your first trophy, no matter how insignificant, can never be surpassed.

Experienced baiters, post your first trophy, and give our new members some motivation.

As I remember, this is my first "real" trophy. It took a year of baiting (edit: not him specifically) before I got one.

A speedy recovery wish sign - 10 months after I have found Eater. Arrived during the DDOS attack.

This was my first trophy.

This is, by the way, supposed to be someone holding a sign. But then he said since it was his birthday he just wrote the message on his birthday cake.

awesome stuff! Someday, I will go for it (that is, after I read the FAQs etc)

This is my first trophy - a hand-written pledge from Charles Soludo.

And this is my first actual Lad photo trophy - the first of four symbolically re-enacting the slaying of the Midgard Serpent.

I only started baiting for trophies this year. This idiot was gunning for a foundation award but didn't look poor enough in his application pic, so I (well actually, my husband) told him he should dress as a beggar.

Many of you old timers will know him Wink

@Luckey: I never did find out about the freakish hairball thingys.

I don't think I'm classed an 'experianced' baiter but I got this one about a month after I started

Guess I just got a good lad, beacuse aside from a few forms I've had sweet FA since Crying or Very sad

Here's my first ones. I knew they were produced especially for me, because he squirmed for several days before sending them.

And here's proof lads are not all from West Africa. My first trophy from Indian lad (and first safari) Praveen...

This was my very first trophy. It was never my goal and ended up being an after thought when I read the post for the premium membership contest. Took me about 10 days.

I got this trophy about a month after I started baiting. Without any prodding this lad eventually wrote me a long confession to tell me that he was trying to scam me. To this day he still calls and writes because he thinks we are engaged to be married. Shocked

^^^^ how long has this being going for?

Posted: Wed Aug 19, 2009 2:39 am

^^It's been 16 months now. He was the second lad I ever baited.
