then words…
May not fully understand this game,but nevertheless decided to start trying to expand the community(at least try).
I am gonna hand out FREE Jester D1’s at PA twice a week to Noobs(20 Jester’s a time),may not be rich ingame but giving away stuff to noobs might get this Economy growing a bit… :dunce:
Was hoping that some other players would follow my example and start giving away free stuff too.. 
Peez…
Ciao a tutti.. 
Heya Smokey
Does orange people gonna SCAM your ped card empty right to the bottom :rolleyes:
there might be some..yeah ,but i am gonna take that risk..if there’s at least 1 who 's gonna start loving this game and start to deposit a bit my mission would be a succes.. 
And if that happens theres always Visa..
Not in it for the profit..FUN is my main thing.. :dunce:
Peez..
Ciaooo..
:thumbup: Nice atitude. Hope it won’t fade away…
I don’t give stuff for free. When I’m asked for help by a Noob i mostly team up with him and show him some TP’s and explore the game. The money loot is split. So when we split up he has some money, some TP’s and some knowhow :wise: of the game.
The last noob I helped, was helping a friend the next day. :dunce:
I gave away 100ped in Phoenix yesterday, in form of a small treasurehunt, and random ped drops.
Quite fun actually.
dum dee dum…
what in the world good is 20 d-1’s gonna do a guy? i hope you mean 1 ech for 20 peeps… :tongue2:
hmm… dont think people learn much be being given free stuff… i think remarkebel has the right idea…
see my sig
Yep, saw you there Gnasher 
Me n FireW0lf had been in Phoenix all evening trying to give away Goblin Armour parts.
I was advertising it in main saying they were free, a gift, but noone seemed to bother for ages. :laugh: I managed to get rid of them in the end though, to some very pleased newcomers :silly2:
Smoking Holland’s got the right idea… it’s nice to know that you’re starting someone off with a positive outlook in this game :yup:
jester hats down in the ads :laugh:
last noob i helped ran off as soon as i gave him an outfit and an axe :rolleyes:
i never give ped or item away to ramdom people ( with out fap5 0TT i put in town).
i think its bad for player to think other will give then the needed to live.
if people can play PE then they dont need to beggar , they got at least computeur , thats for me enought to say they can deposit a litel.
i think good advice and info , meet som good player … is a lot better and efficiancy then som stuff away.
usual for noob i know and i like i sell stuff at TT price , or i lend my own stuff.
i dont help orange , not beacouse i dont like noob , but most of them will left the game in 2 week.i help people that play since 2 week or 1 month , when they understand litel how is the game and when they know they whant stay.

This may be true. But helping newbie avatars is a keypoint to. So giving away a couple of d-1´s per week ain´t hurting anyone (exept your ped card :silly2: )
I donate stuff too sometimes, but I never advertise it in main or give it to people who ask for donations. I usually just go to phoenix and hand over whatever it is I want to get rid of to someone in orange.
If you’re nice to a noob he/she might find the game more fun and keep playing, so I don’t think donations are bad. I mean, giving someone goblin arm shards worth 16 pec wont make him very rich or very powerful, but it might make him happy for a few minutes.
my advice is
my advice…be good to others and good things will come to you.. :wise:
Works in real life too..
Ciao a tutti..

You know, I wish it were true. I’ve always conducted myself decently and honorably, but I find myself getting screwed over all the time. The kinder I am, the more I get screwed.
Back on the subject, though:
I have found that things given away free are valued at what was given for them - i.e., nothing. If you’re going to “give” things away, then make it a contest of some sort. At least that way it’s somewhat earned. And you’re more likely to get a more serious player, too. I’ve seen people give away prizes for answering riddles - he did a new riddle every 10 minutes or so, and was giving away stuff like Axes or Jesters.
Or sell them for sweat - cheap. At least they’re EARNED that way.
If you really want to give for nothing, then take them on as disciples.
Here’s a consequence you may not have considered: as more people give stuff away, it will become more and more “expected”. Then those of us who don’t give away free stuff (for whatever reason, perhaps because we can’t afford to, even) end up on the end of the abuse when the noob asks for stuff & doesn’t get it. I’ve seen it happen IRL, I wouldn’t want to see it in-game.
My, but I’m getting cynical 
Seriously, consider the riddle contest or a treasure hunt or such. When I came across it, I had been playing maybe a week. I thought it was a lot of fun, even though I didn’t win anything. I think it makes for a much BETTER game experience. It avoids the true beggars, yet gives you a chance to let noobs have something for free, along with having fun in the process.
hmmm..u got a point there shade…
Saw this"noob" gave her a jester then 2 sec after she put on her nemisis armour and gets this huge gun out..:rolleyes:
LOL…but you know although i lost 1.14 ped on that 1..she lost more..i mean scam people for 1.14 ped now thats sad(probably a kiddy who didnt get nursed long enough by mum)…
But then again i like to think i made at least some1 happy with his/her free rifle..
Aah well..will try to come up with something original..maybe"a good joke gets a free Jester" kind of thing..something like that..any good sugestions are welcome..
Peez..
Ciao a tutti..
I give away stuff too…maybe not as much…but I have probably given away a hundred ped at least since I have been playing. I try contests, but people don’t normally seem interested…(this was at phoenix, and could have been because they were non-english speakers?)…
I normally find someone who is looking for “LOW TT fap5” or “low TT axe” and when they say they can’t afford I give to them. I also have donated stuff to other player’s disciples…just to help out.
Otherwise I give to someone who is asking questions about the game (someone obviously 10 min old in game)… and will throw them a few ped of skins and a broken axe…and maybe some goblin bits (when i had a lot)…and just give them some advice about the game, how to get started sweating, to not sell sweat til they have a lot, to get the tp’s and when to start asking for a mentor…I tell them to get the TP’s before asking for a mentor…and also to learn a bit more, so they’re an easier choice for a suitable mentor.
I believe if we give stuff to new people right in the beginning, it may make them enjoy the game more, and actually cause them to deposit. After all, the more people deposit, the greater the demand for the stuff I sell.
Also I hope they’ll do the same for some other noobs some day. Pay it forward!..and then those noobs deposit and you get a cycle of growth.
Me and Skyirider did this for X-mas over a year ago… Noob come back again and again trying to get something for FREE changing there name each time!
You have to scan everyone and list names or else you’ll get screwed :wise:
Teenagers don’t care your being generouse.

I chop a lot of corn, so I get a lot of axes. Every once in a while, if the right newb behaves like a good citizen of Calypso should, sometimes I will give and axe, but only after some teaming like mentioned before where I teach them to loot mobes or run for me. I will ask questions and give advice and try to be of some service.
But I will repeat what was said before; something given for nothing, is worth just that to the recipient more times then not.
Go to San Francisco and look around at the ungrateful bums there who crap on the sidewalk in front of the places they get their handouts if you don’t believe it. Its easier to beg then work for the lot of them. They don’t want to work, they want handouts. I don’t reward beggars. Bad precedence imo. :wise:
I don’t fap for sweaters on Eudoria anymore. Too many punks come and kill the mob and there is nothing I can do about it. I will do it on Amethera though! Mac loves dispatching punks to the RT there. :laugh:
