We know that most lads take a well earned rest on Sundays, getting over the hangover, going to church, visiting friends etc....
But my current lad, very much against the run of normal modalities, works a very full 7 days a week. He / She is keen to email all day every day, Sunday included, as various characters, all from the same IP. I think he has his own home PC.

Do many other baiters get hassled on a Sunday? Is it as relatively rare as I previously thought?

I don't really welcome it, as I deserve my Sunday off just like anyone else. That's why a slap is in order I think, or at least a good ignoring for a few days.

I've got one that does Sundays, the first in a long time, most of them seem to take Sunday off, well, the ones I've had do, others? maybe they are just greedy, or struggling to get their quota.

It's more like - I make THEM work Sunday's!!!!

Which one? I've got a couple who don't and a few who do. I hope that qualifies for the "Occasionally" voting choice.

I voted occasionally, too, as some of my lad respond 7 days a week. I have one, now, my third pith helmet, under another name, who responded this morning to an email I sent out, so he is working today. Some do not, and I do notice a lull in lad activity on Sundays....

Some do, some don't.

I voted "Yep, all the time". Though, I never say actually say "yep". Wink

My current lad (Ray K1ng) has always worked Sundays. I don't find it annoying, I only answer him when I want, regardless of the day of the week.
I've had lads in the past who did not reply on Sundays.

I said all the time. My Ghana lads are useless on match days during the CAN.

I got this in an account today (Sunday)

I am glad to see that he is spending money on Sundays too! Twisted Evil

Oh, yeah and he added this

I've often wondered if many cyber-cafes are even open on Sundays. If not, that would explain why many of them take that day off. I figure the few that do work on the Sabbath (the day, not the band) maybe have their own computers or have found a 24/7 ladcafe. Then again, maybe those ones are just not Catholic...

One of my lads works in a cafe, he opens late on Sundays so he can go to church in the morning. Then he is open until 11 at night.

One of my lads asked me to buy him a notebook, then slipped and mailed me on Sunday. Razz

The only laddies that ever correspond on a Sunday are those that are "highly stranded" whilst on safari...... Laughing

Posted: Mon Feb 04, 2008 10:35 am

Well, I voted "Sometimes", because some of my lads do, and some don't.

Posted: Mon Feb 04, 2008 11:21 am

Occasionally but given the timezone where the lad is and where I am I don't really worry to much about it.

Posted: Mon Feb 04, 2008 11:46 am

Same as rootuser.

I'm currently baiting 3 lads: the hitman and the cancer patient work on Sundays, the Barrister doesn't.

Posted: Mon Feb 04, 2008 3:46 pm

The more they believe you, the more their payday is closer, they always work Sundays I've found...

Posted: Mon Feb 04, 2008 7:31 pm

I get quite a few who operate on Sundays.
Maybe it's because they're rich bastards who own their own PCs. Evil or Very Mad

I had one lad who <I believe> drove from Owerri in Nigeria to Cotonou Benin one weekend just to open a bank account for me.
He emailed me Sunday nite from Lagos.

I was so touched I immediately reported the bank acct to Alan.

How can you tell if they are using a cafe or not?

Posted: Mon Feb 04, 2008 10:39 pm

^^ Satellite provider as the IP address usually, but not always.

Because my lads 3 characters all have the same IP and write at all hours, 7 days, it's a fair assumption that he has his own PC at home, but not a guarantee. Cafes sometimes open outside normal hours for scammers.

Many times I have wondered that very thing. I know that a quick WHOIS search can sometimes verify a lad's IP and find out where he physically is. I used it myself a number of times, but then it occurred to me: It doesn't matter really.

From what I know (and that ain't much!) there's only so much info to be gleaned from the headers. That's useful if you're getting your lad to travel on a safari and want verification as to his whereabouts, but other than that I haven't found a use for it. My lad could be in a cafe in Lagos or sitting in the house a block away from me, and I'll still bait him. Unless he's sitting on my lap, his location is meaningless to me. If a lad ever IS sitting on my lap, I'll probably have to re-think this whole baiting thing! Shocked

Needless to say, I don't do many safari baits and have never verified the ones that I've done. For all I know, my lads may have called associates in their safari destinations and never moved a muscle. It's also fair to say that I'm a perma-newb when it comes to technical stuff, so the e-mail headers might contain traces of their DNA and I wouldn't know one way or the other!
