For the information of all that visit this board, there is a fake Eddie Bauer that WILL attempt to scam you. He also has used an exploit to get you guard whacked in Trammel, and because he "parties" you first, he has rights to and does loot you. If ANYBODY asks you to throw a firebomb in a guard zone, DON'T DO IT! Fortunately for me, a GM convinced the fake EB to return my belongings. He also informed the fake EB that what he was doing IS illegal, and could result in his getting banned. From the conversation I had with GM Cyrus, I got the impression that the fake EB now has a mark against his record.
I will say this about the fake EB, even though he used an exploit to get my stuff, he was not a jerk about it after the fact. There was no name calling and no razzing (sorry Raz, no pun intended). When he saw that I was determined to see through my call to the GM, he stayed around. Even when others started giving him a bunch of grief, he stood by and held his peace. He cooperated with the GM during the investigation. He even gave me a "bonus" to help make amends.
For your information, the two EBs spell their names differently, sorta. The fake EB spells his Eddie BAUER and is in MGE. The real EB is spelled EDDIE BAUER (all caps) and is in ASG.
I wish to thank GM Cyrus for his help in this incident. It took about 3 hours for him to show, with me starting at #11! But after he spent 30-45 minutes on this call, I can see why it took so long to respond.
I also wish to thank Fishster for his support. He came on the scene shortly after my demise, and spent a lot of effort trying to garner support for getting the fake EB banned. Several rallyed to his call. See the link for some screenshots that he took. He told me that he is 15 years old, but he consistantly acted in a mature manner and I am please to call him "friend". And he didn't hold the fact that I'm 45 against me *grins*... Please extend him every courtesy when he joins us in chat.
