[[Week 10]] - Every PPTer has their price...

[TDG]

Every week, I will post a new question, asking you if you would scam an account in order to obtain something desirable. Please note that no matter how absurd it may seem, you will get away with scamming that account.

• Scam - To get into somebody's account and make it so the person it rightfully belongs to can no longer access it (No matter what, the person cannot retrieve anything from the former account)
• Account - One other than yours which belongs to an innocent bystander (unless stated otherwise) who you do not know. (IE : Not your worst enemy)
• Something desirable - You will only receive what the question states you will. If the question is "Would you scam Borovan's account for 2 NP", even though Borovan has more than 2 Neopoints, you would only receive those two neopoints.
• Get away with scamming that account - Even if there is undeniable proof that you scammed tha person, you will not be frozen, warned, exposed as the scammer, nobody would know you did it and any negative reprecussions of you scamming that account will not affect you
  
  (EG : In Week 5, all idiots/spammers/scammers etc would be frozen. If you were a spammer/scammer/idiot, you personally would not be frozen for scamming the account in question)

Results from week 1 : For 100,000 NP, 28% of the voters would scam an account
Results from week 2 : For 1,000,000 NP 36% of the voters would scam an account
Results from week 3 : For complete moderation powers over the neoboards, only 25% of the voters would scam an account
Results from week 4 : For the pet of their dreams, only 12% of the voters would scam an account
Results from week 5 : To remove all scammers, spammers, idiots etc from Neopets, 70% of the voters would scam an account
Results from week 6 : For a one of a kind trophy, 18% of the voters would scam an account
Results from week 7 : To watch them squirm, 37% of the voters would scam their worst enemy's account
Results from week 8 : For the opportunity to look generous by giving items to them to help them start anew, only 3% of the voters would scam their best friend's 12 month old account
Results from week 9 : For twenty-five million neopoints, 40% of people would scam an account

This week's question :

• Would you scam an account for 100 dollars U.S. ?

AS ALWAYS, DO NOT PUBLICALLY REVEAL WHO YOU VOTED FOR. Please don't check the results before you vote, I want honest opinions, not influenced by what others have said

In all honesty, I don't think this question means very much. What is 100$ to the person answering yes or no? Are you a billionnaire or do you have to play Neopets on the librabry computer (so to speak)? Well, I guess if you can at least afford a computer (however basic) and an internet connection, you're not dirt poor, but still, this is a question that needs some more personal background, and which is therefore very hard to ask, seeing as nobody willk volunteer this information. Maybe 'Would you scam an account for the cost of your computer?' Or something like that...

Anyways, just my 2 cents.

Yes and no. For example, $100 isn't all that much to me now (doesn't even make my monthy car payment) but $100 would have seemed like a lot of money when I was a preteen. So $100 doesn't mean the same thing to everyone reading the question.

On the other hand, how much some of the Neopets-related items mean varies from person to person, too. There are some people for whom 100k NP is a lot (though probably not as many on PPT as in Neopia in general) and others to whom it's nothing. Likewise, someone who could go out and buy any pet on the site today if they wanted is presumably less likely to scam someone for a dream pet than someone who could never hope to attain their dream pet without help.

Mind, either way I find seeing how many people would scam an account rather depressing.

This weeks questions is good. since we all need real money, and it can be actually valued outside of the game

The question is, would YOU scam an account for that much. If you need background info, start recalling your own life.

I don't care what "most" people would do, the point of "Every PPTer has their price" is to show that (funnily enough) every PPTer has a price in which they are willing to scam somebody's account.
