I remember the one time I almost scammed. It was a few years ago, actually. I used an alt to gain others' trust for the classic trust-trade gambit, but... There was some part of me that could never click "accept". I ended up giving the "prize" (my rare headdress) to my alt account, claiming they had won, and all of the other players were so kind and supportive - saying "congrats", and varieties of "I'm glad this wasn't a scam!" that I knew that I could never do that kind of thing to such innocent, decent humans. I still know I made the right choice, and I'm still wracked with guilt once and a while for even considering it.

My new hobby: random acts of kindness. Find people who seem down, people who seem cool, people who wear those box hats unironically. Tell those people how wonderful they are. Never lie; there's always something neat if you are willing to look.

You get the same sense of satisfaction from getting a new item, but you know that it's making the person on the other end have the same rush.

Be a jammer, not a scammer; don't get sent out to the slammer!
