Default Skylar the Skammer

A Dawn Believer named Skylar defrauded me in game. Agreed to sell a set of visible HIE armor and deliver it along with about 2.5k of other items to a paladin project of mine in Felwithe. He logged and I haven't seen him since. I reached out to an officer of DB, Nephinine, and was basically told that since DB casts a broad net, these things happens. Translated: don't trust anyone in Dawn Believers for anything. There is no screening and no consequences for scamming by their officers. They recruit anyone, scruples or not.

For those that want to flame on trusting another player in game, you are right, so flame away. I promise to never trust another Dawn Believer in game again. I don't particularly care about the loss of the items. It's just pixels after all. I write this to warn others and in someway to express my disappointment in myself for trusting another person in this game. Most people I have met have been good people, but rotten apples like this guy, well he just gave me a reason to stop showing any kindness in game to anyone else in the future.

I would put in a petition on forums for sure. Hopefully his power just went out tho. It has happened before.

But didn't realize that this is more like... P99's 4chan or something.

except instead of random anons its a shark attack of a small clique that posts here all the time. so he's doubly fucked.

What's confusing to you? The proper thing to do is start a petition in the event there is foul play. If the situation corrects itself, then you say nevermind, we resolved it on our own.

I think the answer is to infiltrate DB and destroy it from within

Your first clue was his title. Obviously a guy with the name Skylar the Skammer should raise some red flags. I hope you keep this in mind next time and in the future only trade with people without “the Skammer” in their name.

True... if the dude has a title like that, that means he out-defrauded all other opponents and won the serverwide Scammer BOTB competition back in 2014.

Surnames can be misleading.

Example: The used to be a viking warlord named "Ölvir the Childlover".

Pedophile, right? I know, I thought the same thing.

In reality it was because he wouldn't let his men impale children on their spears.

Pretty metal.

You guys are right to flame. I dont know why I let the loss of pixels affect me. Evidence of this is that the name of the toon that scammed me is STRYDAR not Skylar. Man I guess I was upset.
