Greetings, my teacher showed me the website in class one day, and I thought it was pretty cool. The stuff you guys make those people do just cracks me up, so I'd thought I give it a whirl. Hope to submit some lad's to the gallery! Smile

Im excited and already replied to my first potential mugu. I get alot of spam mail, typically scammers on my game fansite. I'll do my best to follow the advice you all have to offer (and site).

I had no idea teachers were using us for educating. Laughing

More likely it was de-educating

Hee yeah, many shinanigans in that class. None of my lads have replied to me yet. Do you think they gotten smarter?

Not really relevant, some are smart some aren't.

Sometimes they don't respond, sometimes it takes a while. How are you replying to their mails? Don't say too much in the beginning, just act interested and ask a question or two. If you don't get responses, try writing to more lads. There's no problem if you write to a ton and get too many responses, just bait the ones you want out of the group who reply.

Alright I'll be sure to write to more lads, the message im sending them pretty much describes my 'church group', me, and ask for a favor in order to qualify for the 'prize'.

I got this from my Digital Imaging teacher, though he really didn't show the whole class, just those who were interested.

Welcome to Eater takyr,

You're probably putting too much effort into hooking a lad, they respond best to a simple

"I received your email. I am interested in helping, Could you tell me more?"

I know this sounds dead boring, but it's 99% effective. Too much storyline in the first few exchanges will lose the lad, they never read much till it gets to the money.

All the great examples of stuff you see in here has all started from simple beginnings, it is up to you once the lad has invested some more time and believes you are really going to pay to start introducing different stories.

Good luck. read the stickies, Eater University is recommended reading btw,

You might be losing them with this. They're also not interested in you and your church group, they just want a willing victim. Don't give them much story at first, just reply briefly and once they've written to you a bit and think you're a possible paying victim, you can add the bit about your church, etc.
