    so... basically a guy got ahead any way that he could by abusing a game that focuses on getting ahead any way that you can?

    i don't think i'll ever play monopoly the same way again.

    Speaking as someone who used to play, this man is playing EVE exactly how it's supposed to be played: No holds barred cutthroat exploitation of other players. Too bad he went with the real money transactions, though. He's probably banned for life by now.
