    I usually ask "why do you need it?" If they give a valid answer I usually either give them $ or give tips on how to make cash (this is more so in PL)

    I got asked for 50k from a guilders so he can buy a pink pistol. I told him, " What heck do I look like a bank? Lol I don't give that kind of money to anyone especially if you just joined." He left.

    On PL someone asked me for 2k, so u was like what the hay and gave it to him. Only bc I have a decent amount of gold. To my surprise he got on his main and gave me 10k in return. He said he wanted to know if I was really nice bc he saw me on forums. He rewarded me for an act of kindness, it made my day but I gave it back.

    Example:

    Can I get 500 credits?

    Can I get 500 credits?

    One of those is someone begging, the other is someone telling you a price for an item in a discussion. Which is which?

    Good point. It's tough to get chat filter correct for inappropriate language. It would be very difficult to get it to work for certain statements.

    Never have I encountered someone to say it the way you said it. Time zone differences maybe? We could be playing with different time zone players. Could brought it.
    It's different for each person. I've been playing these games since PL was first founded and I can bear witness that it varies considerably.

    My best one was today...

    Someone came up and said "lend me 50k so i can buy xrays"
    I said "how much do you have already?"
    He said "40k"
    I said "ummm who is selling them for that so i can check u aint scamming" ( i wanted to buy em if it was real )
    He said "(name)"
    I added it and it was soooo obvious that it was his alt.
    Made me laugh before i said it too his alt he messaged saying give the main the money.

    I find people asking you to join their awesome elite guild is more annoying than people asking for credits. I give items away randomly to players I don't know. So a few credits to a needy player isn't a big deal. To be honest the next person who asks will likely get 10k. I'm bored with this game and am thinking of quitting anyway. I found an hour of Xbox live is 10x more rewarding that an hour of grinding to eventually get me absolutely no where in SL. If I could give away my plat I would do it.

    I'm sure by now everyone is quite familiar with my help messages...but I have since added a third.../r *BE ADVISED* I am not a Bank, ATM, Credit dispesory, OR an armory....long story short, aside from wiseguys bustin my chops, I get begged probably 70% less...lately it's all about the Xrays like it was mentioned earlier in the thread...I'm not down with playing games because if I really needed something I would want someone to just be straight up with me...so that's why my message is clear and beats 'em to the punch. And seeing as how I'm all about second chances, I remove peopke from my ignore list to see if history will repeat itself or if over time my words have sunk in and they matured as players...sadly in more cases then I'd care to see, they take their assigned seats right back on the list...some get it, some never will...bit actually attempting to get through to them keeps the spirit alive.
