Assessment of my eCharacter and eLife

well despite the offer of a reward for its return, it appears that the q3 house that was bought off the market for 1 CAD is not being returned.

Although I am sad I have already started to save up for a new one for myself. I would like to thank those that offered their support and especially panda for the offer of helping me out. I have received a q1 house from my cuz to keep me going.

For close to 18 months I have been active in this game and during that time I could have stockpiled thousands of gold but chose to use my funds to help out many new players. In fact several of them have become veteran players and important people in our community. To be honest, my stupidity in this situation by trying to help has left me wondering if it is still worth helping out so many others.

I thought long and hard but eventually decided that the true canadian way of helping is still the right thing to do. So I guess eLife goes on.....would love to have you all over to my eHouse but unfortunately my q1 is too small for the party that all good ecanadians deserve 😛.

Humbled,
Petz

I think everybody (as in new players) appreciates your generosity, Pete, even if some douche decides to steal from you.

Maybe I'm missing something, but...
- Could it be that somebody that doesn't work for you and doesn't suscribe you newspaper bought the house?
And...
- Why didn't you just donated the house instead on putting it on the market?
Maybe there are some game rules I'm not aware of... is it the case?

As Vii noted, it's worth considering the person who purchased the house did not read your article. It may not even be an eCanadian for all we know. Helping people out has its rewards even if it comes with some costly mistakes. This one won't matter if you help a couple more of new citizens become established players.

yes i am aware that it could be someone else who bought it...hence why I made an article in the press to ask for its return...@Vii, the house that was taken was made in my company and hence it can't be initiailly donated but rather it must be sold. There is no other way to transfer a product made in the company, the admins never put in a feature to donate a manufactured product.

Petz, I've faced this same issue and I've learned that it's just too nerve-racking to attempt a low cost transfer just to avoid a few dollars in VAT.

I've just joined, so I find this compeletely confusing. Why would you put it on the market if you didn't want to sell it? What's wrong with someone buying it, if you wanted to sell it? Why would you want it back when you're selling it? Because none of the above makes sense to a newbie, I'm guessing this is all about the ridiculous price someone bought it for (assuming you were selling it to make a profit) so how does the game work, that something can be bought from you when you don't approve of the offer?
