I don't know about the rest of you, but for me the best part of baiting so far is reporting an account to Alan and within a couple of days getting a desperate e-mail from my lad telling me to cancel my transfer immediately and send it to a new account. There's something incredibly satisfying in reading a lad's apologies for the inconvenience and their desperation to make sure that the money gets sent to the right account. Laughing

How about all of you? What's the best part?

for me it was the time when I got the call: why are you doing this to me? why? Twisted Evil

So far keeping the lad talking on the phone for as long as possible wasting his money, then cutting the call off myself and emailing him demanding to know why he hung up.

Lads that don't understand how european banks work.

The death threats when they find out who has been killing their precious websites Laughing

I love that moment when you've derailed the lad's script. You've just gone aikido on his script, and he's about to be thrown to the ground.

Nothing is better then a good rant, however you get him to that point. It's proof positive that you've gotten into his little mind and turned it around!

Swamping them with Southern terms and sweetness so sweet the lad could go into a diabetic coma -- or as leonsumbitches calls it "the insidious plan" Wink

could you explain that?

Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2011 6:17 pm

^^ Using typical southern terms, calling the lad (non-romance lad) "Sugar", "Honey", "Honey Chile", "Sweetness".

Isn't that precious?
Do y'all eat grits where you live? I can send a grits recipe.
When y'all fixin ta send my money, Sugar?
Did you talk to your baws? (boss)
I am fixin' to go to Western Union at Wal-Mart, Sweety, just as soon as someone can carry me there. (Down here "carry" means you are giving a ride in your veeeeeehicle.)
Bless your heart.
Now y'all write back soon, ya hear?
Sugar, that is just hunkey dorey.
I jest get the heebie jeebies jest thinking about all that money, Sugar.

I like the beer Smile

I also like the part where I get " I don't know what is real anymore..."

Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2011 8:29 pm

I love it when, with great relish, they swallow the gullibility of my character.

@Fryer: I agree, I've very much enjoyed the rants that I've received from my lads after sending them to or Deuzer's bank transfer site.

Posted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 5:41 am

Knowing that they will HAVE to tolerate all the nonsense that I can throw their way IF they want MY money.

Killing bank accounts is rewarding for me Laughing

So many things that baiting great!

Killing accounts, great!
Killing sites great!

Just doing both have its own rewards.

What I love the most are the excuses when you hit him with the baiters arsenal. I had a few break down in nonsensical gibberish.

Having just killed my first website, I have to say this is my new favourite part. Bank account closures are also particularly satisfying. Oh, and also seeing the lads fraying round the edges as they get more and more frustrated with my pain-in-the-ass characters.

It's just all so good!

Very Happy

I like seeing the word salad that often results when the Lad is forced off script.

Posted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 2:21 pm

The nervous breakdown they have when I force them somehow to get to the starting point and wash, rinse, repeat Very Happy

So far bouts of paranoia, trauma induced amnesy AND death worked pretty well Very Happy

Posted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 6:14 pm

Anything that pains the lads is great, but for me it's the dollar chop. I've read that lads are very superstitious so I have a GOMER+SATAN+666 email addy just for the chop.

Getting a reply like the siggy below really makes my day.

Posted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 8:59 pm

I love it when they swallow your story so completely that they start repeating some of your own garbage back at you.

Posted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 9:00 pm

Following on from Yabadabadoo - getting religious rants is fun; likewise when a Lad tries so earnestly to preach 'the gospel' on chat and things get bogged down thereby.

Posted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 9:05 pm

There's nothing quite like the abuse you get from the lads when they realise you've just wasted a load of their time. Watching them make spelling mistakes and get really angry / upset is hilarious. The dolla chop is great fun as well Very Happy

I also like the frustration caused to the lads when my characters make mistakes or misinterpret what they say and do something completely different.

There's nothing like a good death threat first thing in the morning..... Very Happy
