I define switching as the point at which the lad abandons all hope of his original script and starts the painful journey throught the baiters story.

The quick way to do this is the ASEM, I enjoy an ASEM (who doesn't?) but I have tried to show here some starting tactics when straight baiting to get them onto your story.

I would like to stress that I have not invented these, just named them. There are more experienced baiters than me who may like to add there own "switchbait" tactics.

Switch Tactic 1 - Moral Battering Ram

Basically, I can't take your money - you need to take mine. This will be popular with church baiters no doubt.

I attach an example.

Switch Tactic 2 - Blame The Idiot

This higher risk strategy is to start off with an idiot, then switch characters much to the relief of the lad. Essential at this point is also to switch stories. If it ever gets hairy - you bring back the idiot to snap the lad into shape.

I attach an example.

Switch Tactic 3 - The Captain Oates

Otherwise known as the "I may be gone for some time." This is as old as the hills and is all about taking a bait so far while involving a minor character WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE DEAL. This secrecy is a big hit with the lads.

The main character then goes into the hospital / nunnery etc. and the minor character starts up a new storyline. The lad cannot go to his script with the minor character as the deal is being kept secret until main characters return

I will attach an example soon. (but there are plenty of these around)

Comments please! Flame away if you think I've set myself up as some kind of expert - this was not the intention.

freddibnah - Very good so far! You certainly have got a good angle going here. I got a real kick out of this.....

4. Act as your mugus mailaccount has been hacked.
Make a really bad letter in a "reply" , ask them WHY they write such things to you - they will believe they are hacked, getting paranoia against the others at the internetcafe Evil or Very Mad

5. "The other person"
When they asks for your money you 'have sent' then tell them you have sent them to Mr. Othermugu, - as the lad asked for in his last mail Evil or Very Mad

Tell them that WU confirms that the $ 10.000 are confirmed picked up at the WU-office in the lad's street.... Twisted Evil

From there you can start at scratch again with the same guy!!!! Razz

He stills want money, you know!

I remember seeing a photoshopped plane with an Abacha hat in the forum a month or so ago (shortly before I joined).
