ILtropia always wanted to comment on Spod's discount shops since the first day of this blog. These shops belong to someone named Spod Spod Spodley. We guess Spod is in the trading business for some years . His target was/is the new players (weapons/armor/mining stuff) and idiots (furniture). Players with no experience/knowledge of prices or no brain...
Spod's policy was simple and effective for the first period of his career. He was an auction hawk (nothing bad with that), he was buying all the crap he could find and then sell them in his shops with unbelievable mark-ups* (see example below).
That was relatively easy some time ago (before the lift of the sweat cap). Sweat was plenty then and new players very fast had peds to buy Spod's ''discount'' items without thinking about prices.
Problems for Spod started when things became tight for newbies. With sweat prices dropping and loot decreasing dramatically, his ass was on fire. New players started to care about their hard earned money and were trying to find the best prices around. The removal of the sweat cap also created competition . Every new player was becoming a wannabe reseller after some days of misery in the game. And that was the final blow in Spod's business. Spod was not alone anymore and he couldn't cope with the competition. Hundreds of new players more clever/faster than him were chasing the ''tt+-0.02'' auction bargains now.As a result Spod had to close down some of his shops cause probably the profit was not enough even to pay the rent or he was running out of items to sell. These days the rat is trying to become a crafter. He has already started crafting Breer M2A and he is asking for market info (click) for what to craft next. We can imagine the rat's face when he is spending his shiny peds in those crafting machines...
*We are traders too, but to sell Pixie thighs for tt+11 to new players (tt+0.20 at PA) is pure robbery.....
Sadly for the idiot, someone with the name Nicole who knew him well posted the following:
So the new judge in town he will use his autoboting experience to stop all those that they are running left and right in the game...Can it be any worst? 
Awesome...!!! 
But it wasnt..... 
We had to order some of the best weapons ingame to equip the ILtroopers. 
So after we got the spacecrafts needed, we started the transportation of the new players to the desert training camp. Every 5 minutes a spacecraft was landing in the desert unloading hundrends of players that we recruited from PA and heavy weapons.
After arrival the new players were given clothes, weapons and they were trained to the last fighting tactics. Training was hard under the hot desert sun but we didnt receive any complaints from our ILtroopers.
Everyone was giving his best and we were watching them with great pleasure from ILtropia HQ Desert.
The first graduates were ready in under 2 days. Above you see only a small part of our ILtroopers..... So again choose carefully a side.....
