Redirecting from the DDOS thread..

DR folks,

Can we get the whole story on this? I'm scouring the internet for information, but it looks like Martin Shkreli (CEO of that company that bought the AIDS drug) bought Jhime (DR character) for anywhere from $4k - $8k in March of 2010, went on a PvP rampage, roleplayed a blowjob on a high level Moon Mage, and was permanently banned in August of 2010.

Shkreli also bought the unofficial DR forums "smelly-cat.org" for $5k in March of 2009.

After the permaban, at Simucon, Solomon/Bubba held a raffle and the ex player of Jhime (Jason) won. His request was for his permanently banned character to be given back and Simu gave it to him.

Apparently Skhreli also removed references to the events from his wiki page.

I think this would be hilarious if it hit the national media. Internet troll turned rogue CEO.. the guy seems a bit reckless based on his story.

Really not trying to troll here, just interested in the juicy stuff.

Thoughts?

I spelled the name wrong in the thread so it would be on the front page of google. It is, for now.

Yeah I think it's a stretch to associate him with the DDOS, but the story behind his rampage seems hilarious. Also, you wonder if that had any ramifications for Solomon.

The Simu connection to all the news stories was pretty hilarious.


Okay, what the fuck is a Moon Mage?

Imagine if the enhancive system, sorc teleports, and Wizard utility all were part of one profession.

Oh. I guess that explains why the mage in question got the BJ.

Sounds like it's time for an astronomy lore review.

Is that for the blown moon mage?

In what is believed to be an April Fool's Joke, Smelly-cat.org's Forums temporarily shut down on 31March2009. A few hours later the DNS information was changed and Vanmar, recent "obsessive crazy", was revealed as the new owner of the forums. All folders were deleted and bannings began. Vanmar allegedly paid $5,000 in USD to Quanette for control over the website.

This. He shrugged off my girlfriend and I robbing stuff he left outside his grave because the items "weren't a big deal." Probably would've been a good 35-40 million GS silver.

We shrugged and were like "Okay!"
