Lost 300k+ due to a looter....and now this SICK insult =(
Mercillus
hair restyle deeds from the sweet dreams inn Britain to the west bank, and I
came across one of my friends inbetween the two places in Britain. He asked
me if I had a rune to Shame, but I only had one on me which I needed for
myself, so I decided to quickly goto Shame and mark a rune for him then
recall back.
So I told him to go to the bank and that id be there in a few minutes with
the rune to shame for him. I recall into Shame level 3 by the entrance from
level 2 (the grey moongate) and it is dark and I cant see. What a fool I am
to mark my runes to where the poison elementals are. If I had any sense id
have marked my rune in level 2 by entrance of level 3.
Well I always get the bad luck, and then was no exception. Out of all the
times that id recalled into Shame in my power hours to fight air, fire
elementals ect, I had never recalled in NEXT to a poison elemetal and
immediately been poisoned. But this time I had................
So I ran into the moongate and appeared in level 2, and kept TRYING TO CURE
the poison. Sure, there were no monsers around me now but I was dying fast
because of the poison. I died a few seconds later, and ran around the
C-shaped bend on level 2 to find someone quickly to get ressed. I was in a
total and absolute stressout at this point, shaking and yelling loads of
OooOOOOooOOOO. I found three people around the third bend (people who know
shame lvl 2 will know what I mean) and got ressed.
But I couldnt see a damn bloody thing, as I didnt have nightsight, and on my
monitor no matter how high I turn the brightness up, I still cant ever
bloody well see. And there was no way I could see around the bends to get
back to my body. So I instantly began the yelling "PLEASE PLEASE IN LOR ME I
BEG OF YOU" or something similar and loud and crass.
And now I look back on it, this must have given those guys the message that
there was something good on my corpse, and the bastards ran off at full
speed in the direction I had come as a ghost.
I was so completely pissed off at this time, and I was so ANGRY that I
couldnt see. Kept bumping into bloody walls and couldnt get back. Eventually
I got back but my corpse had turned to bones and everything was gone.
There were like four people there and they knew about the ranger and hair
deeds, and obviously one of them had looted it but none of them would admit
it. Two ran off and two of them stayed, and they asked me loads of questions
like "What were you doing with all that in here" ect, but I was so pissed
off that I just couldnt do much except mumble and groan, and thankfully I
was given the regs to recall back to a city.
Well I didnt want to post this storey or anything at the time as everyone
would just think I was an idiot ect, anyway maybe some of you already know
this storey, as over the next month whenever I was in Shame a few people
seemed to know me and what had happened and some of them laughed, some asked
why I was there with it all ect.
But a week ago, when I was recruiting for new members in my guild, amongst
about five others I recruited a mage called Kazhar (please look him up in
MyUO, there is only one char called Kazhar on Europa, and you will see what
he looks like and how good a mage he is) Well Kazhar seemed a bit of a dodgy
guy actually, everyone else was so polite and respectfull of me and my
tower, but this guy just seemed jealous and always wanted to spar (he killed
Maximus, another member)
Well the only satisfaction I have is that when I sparred with him I kicked
his arse, and he got angry that I beat him hehe.
But anyway, a couple of days ago I saw him at the Vesper bank spamming that
he was looking to join a warring guild, then a day later he had left the
BHU. The others didnt like him either and Im glad that hes gone. BHU doesnt
need arseholes.
Its fairly obvious from my storey what happened next but I will tell you
anyway. I got an ICQ from me asking if he remembered him from that night in
Shame when I got looted, and told me that it was HIM who had looted me, and
even had he nerve to send me a PICTURE that he took at time of him and me
and his backpack with all my ranger and hair deeds.
Ive actually put this picture up so all those of you who want to see it can
do :
http://www.godsell.co.uk/looted.jpg
It is a small pic anyway (48kb)
Dont you just think he is sick?

ANYWAY, is it just me or are half of your stories the "feel sorry for me"
kind of stories now? Honestly, half of everything you posted was about a
friend being scammed, or you being looted and having it rubbed in your face,
or something else that has happened to you.
Like we all said before, take a BREAK from the newsgroup. Bad things happen,
but they are happening to you so often, I'm beginning to think they don't
happen at all. And some of your stories don't match up either. Like the last
post "I got scammed out of ranger armor," but in this post it was looted,
not scammed. Which one is it? What's the REAL story here? By the time this
message is too far down my list to see when I first connect to the
newsgroup - you'll have another message similar to this posted by then, I'm
sure.

I've met this tosser, Kazhar, he was the recipient if my first ever GM page.
He's a wanker through and through. If he's ever spotted in Fel by any of my
chars I'll be taking an MC for him.
BTW one of his other chars is 'Lewt Usoon', as far as I'm concerned both of
them are on the kill on sight list.

first? I learned after the first time I got killed and couldn't get back to
my body that I should unload everything that's unnecessary before going
someplace even remotely dangerous. UO is as much about cool, quick thinking,
and wise decisions as it is about anything else. When I have made a decision
that led me to lose something valuable, I learn from it and try not to make
the same mistake again. It makes me sick toward myself to let myself be a
victim, not angry with the other guy.

every day ( not that i think you'll recognize even the name of my country, but
its for the biggest ISP in Denmark )
pictures are safe to open, only open executables if you get them from ppl you
trust ( and even then you should take the time to scan it ) Some text documents
( example: a word-document ) can contain a so-called Macro virus, but its
nothing even an old virus scanner can't take care off.
So generally: Files that aren't executables are safe, but as a thumb rule
_always_ scan mails with attached files if you don't know the sender.

Maybe he whines, maybe he doesn't. Bottom line is, this is an ultima
newsgroup. His post was very much on topic, as most of his have been since
the incident. At least he's shown the common courtesy not to use this
newsgroup to tell me about his mother or the reproductive nature of his
siblings. (Two things which I'll be the first to say, and completely frank
in doing it, I do not think belong on this newsgroup at all. Period.)
You may not like him, and you may not like what he posts. If you don't just
killfile him. Personally I've come to enjoy his posts.

Reading between the lines I will attempt to translate from merci-ese to
english:
"I was doing my usual scamming of new players out of their ranger armor
and hair coupons, and anything else that they had before they knew it
was valuable, and when this one new player didn't fall for my normal
scams I decided to take him to Shame, get him killed, wait for his bones
to decay, then loot him. Being more greedy than smart, and not wanting
the victim to get away, or more importantly I didn't want him to bank
the loot I wanted to scam him out of, I didn't drop off my good loot
before I went either - and why should I, for I am merci the klever!
Unfortunately I died instead of him, and I got looted instead of him. I
was so mad I acted like an idiot for awhile, then I decided to play for
sympathy, and to see my name in print again, by twisting the truth into
a hopefully sad story that folks in the NG would hopefully believe."
Anyway, that's how I translate merci's story...
Does anyone remember an old story about an idiot thief named Cugel? I
think it was one of the stories/authors that Gygax based D&D/World of
Greyhawk upon. Cugel thought he was very very clever, and he always saw
things in a most favorable (albeit inaccurate) light, and he was a total
idiot. About as smart as Jethro from the Beverly Hillbillies, and about
as competent as Maxwell Smart, Agent 86. Merci reminds me of Cugel :)

As Bill Clinton would say, "Ah feel yor pine". That's bad enuff, but
these guys who couldn't wait to loot you is insult on top of injury. Too
bad they weren't nice guys.
By coincidence, a similar thing happened to me last week. My rune in the
rune book to the lich room hallway (where now lives a PE) was next to my
rune for the Brit bank, and apparently I hit the lich room rune by
mistake. Next thing I know i hear the creepy music, the screen is black,
and my unarmored bard with some hot stuff i don't want to lose is
apparently NOT alone. Immediately most all my life bar turns red and by
memory i shoot down the hall and make the turn without crashing into the
wall, hitting the Recall macro and targeting the first rune i saw in my
pack, not caring where it went to because nothing could be worse.
Somehow escaped and later removed that rune from the book for good

Nooooooo.!...........I cannot let this slight to Cugel's name go unanswered.
The Cugel I know (called Cugel the Clever) appeared in Jack Vance's
excellent story "The Eyes of the Overworld". He was very clever indeed in
this story, getting out of some very tight spots by the imaginative use of
his wits. He also appeared in a sequel some years later.
He wasn't a thief, but a magician, forced into performing a task for
another more powerful magician.
Is this the same one? If so, he is one of my literary heroes, and I despair
to see him mentioned in the same breath as Mercillus.

No you needn't say more because you've been defending an invalid position.
About the only thing you could say at this point is nothing or "oops"
The mailer in use was ICQ. ICQ displays "nasty.jpg. exe" with an

There are two things preventing me from doing what you did:

Eric says hair deeds are in fact lootable and I'll take his word

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

It must be the same Cugel, though I remember him more as a hapless
clever bumbler. It's been 20 years or so, so please excuse my faulty
memory. He seemed to never be as clever as he thought he was (thus the
comparison to merci). I only remember a couple details, one was the
item that made objects palatable (I still wonder what driftwood tastes
like ;) that the more powerful mage gave him when he sent him on his
task. The other was a ship voyage with a mother and her daughter, and
the ingredients they added to what he thought was "haute cuisine".
Thank you for providing the authors name :) and please accept my
apologies for mentioning Cugel in the same paragraph with merci :(

i.e. the Love bug and so on would send copies that had file names like
Name.jpg.js since the default setting in Win 9x is to not show file
extensions of executable files this would show to the avaridge user as
Name.jpg this is not what the file would actually be. But rather a semi
clever way to hide the true nature of the file.
But for that matter image files are harmless in any nature since they can
not contain any harmfull code. What was also a problem with Outlook and
Outlook Express is that before the security patch for 5.x you could include
executable code in the email header of a message and it would execute as the
message was being downloaded. So there was no need for an email attachment
this was entirely unprotectable. Fortunaly it was never widely used.

And half the people on the NG already know and realise the above, so if you

Everyone on this NG apart from you "Gil", if they dont already know what
cross shard ticket trading is, they woul be intelligent enough to understand
what it is.
But you Gil, you just wouldnt understand it so I end my post here.

Actually, the trick mostly used is to rename it hornynudes.jpg.exe
The default settings of windows does not display the .exe, so it
looks like a picture. Somebody in the stratics europa forum
just fell for that trick with a file called newrares.txt.exe, and
got all his uo stuff stolen.

rule applies to ( especially ICQ, as it is one of the most unsecure
communication program out there ) _Always check the file, if you have the
tiniest suspicion then u SCAN it!_ anybody using the internet _knows_ this, is a
newbi ( and should be told ) or doesn't care.
I'm not going to say "oops", if some ppl in this ng take offense from what I'm
writing, I'm sorry, but it just proves my words. What I was trying to do was to
give some info when an email or file _could_ be dangerous if that involves
putting ppl into "boxes" so be it, the original intend was NOT to offend.
So don't twist my words.

Ignorance can be cured, but stupidity is forever.
So what we really should be talking about is ignorance since the smartest
person in the world may not know about things like recieving files over the
internet. It may be outside of the area they are an expert in.
Your position seems to be no one should be that ingnorant that they should
fall for trojans, but Merci's presence here and in another post in this
thread from Thomas.

Your position that people *should* know better is valid, but irrelevant. The

Actually there is a grain of truth in the story, I've had dealings with this
Kazhar bloke and don't doubt Chris' assertion that he was the looter.
Given the way Chris puts himself across I don't expect many of the NG to
ever treat him with the slightest respect. I believe he has returned the
deed, but still folk have a go at him, but then everyone else here is so
fekkin perfect and have never made a stupid mistake in-game.

I've done this myself, but by accident helping people on other shards out
and inadvertantly getting a reward with the character.
When you do it intentionally, it is starting to cross the line in about
"half the people on the NG" minds. It is right up there with eBay and just
below account hacking to some people.
While OSI has not made an official statement on it, tying veteran rewards to
account vs characters seems to indicate they don't think it is a good idea.
To long of a story for most people so move on, but I want you<Merci> to pay
particular attention to it.
There was mental hospital where they used to give interns this one crazy
lady that was incurable just so they would realize they can't help
everybody.
One intern set his chair up in front of a window. Everytime the crazy lady
would go off on some paranoid tangent, he would swing around in his chair
and look out the window. Every time she would say something reality based,
he would lean forward in his chair and listen intently.
Eventually he got her to the stage where she was mostly talking normal.
He then did the opposite; everytime she started talking crazy he leaned
forward and listened intently. Eventually he got her back to the crazy
drivel stage.
At this time he explained to her what he had done and told her, "Look we
both know you are crazy, but you want to get out of here and I want to make
my reputation. You showed me you know the difference between the crazy talk
and reality and can control it. So just shut the fuck up and don't let
people know how crazy you really are and we will both get out of here."
That is the punch line. It doesn't matter if you have a foot fetish with the
queen, it doesn't matter if you find barnyard animals attractive, it doesn't
matter if you think starting new accounts and cross shard trading is "kewl".
If you don't like people to take exception to any controversial behavior,
just STFU with respect to them! You would be surprised how many interesting
topics you can find that aren't controversial.

So the Mossad is behind that guys hacked UO account? The plot
thickens...
Anyway, the best security concerning incoming files is to never open
them by double-clicking. Use the file->open menu in notepad to open
text files, and in MS paint, photoshop or whatever to open pictures,
etc.
The problem with these UO trojans is that I seriously doubt that any
virus scanner will pick them up.

Give the bloke a break - what happens when you get attacked by a poison
ellie and need a quick haircut? I think he was very wise taking so many hair
deeds in there with him. I for one will be taking a few each time I go in
future. As for ranger armour, well, it helps to have clean clothes with you
after slaying lots of ellies, so more power mercyless for thinking ahead!

: Picture files are safe!
Picture files are safe--if they're really a picture. A lot of potential
hackers will send trojans that are disguised as image files, but are
really executables. They're even harder to see if you have "view file type
extensions" turned off. More than once at my job I've had to clean Netbus
or BackOrifice off a student's computer when they tried to open what they
thought was an image file.

Also, for future reference, make the default rune on your book be a safe
place. Mine is just outside the steps of my house, where I've never seen
worse than a single ogre, and usually there's only a single lizardman, if
that.
Then it's simply Alt-R or whatever your Recall macro is, and target the

Don't count on this. I was recalling away from a balron and had used the mana

Mmmm, no that's not totally correct, everybody knows that there's vira about,
ironically enough it's ppl without computer/internet that's most afraid of them.
So what I'm saying is that while almost everyone knows that computer vira is
about, not all care to protect themselves from it ( count me in... tho i know
what to do about them if i get them which is not likely ). And those who doesn't
know what to do can easily find help on the net.
My first reply to this topic, was an attempt to inform ppl about this particular
"type" of virus and to stop an eventual frenzy/panic
