As domhall noted, I made a post in a bit of frustration and grievance with the colonization situation out in o14/15.
I went to the gym, blew off some steam, and regrouped.
I've spun it into a nice little covert op. I'm collecting a list of current buyers, based on those making legitimate offers.
It could help us identify the next Rhinokiller-calibre buyer.
So far, Rok_Headsmasher, Believil (known buyer), and Makari have all expressed considerable interest. Fortunately, none seem particularly malicious. However, if I can get another buyer such as Rhinokiller to come out of the woodwork, it could give us some valuable insights and advanced-notice.
Off to find some more lemons to make into lemonade...

Hahaha!
I meant...how are you collecting those legitimate offers?
Since I was going to say that you can probably post something about it in the official forum.

I'm just taking them via IGM right now.
A post was made to the IK forums about it. I just don't want word to leak that I've shifted it to a ploy to gather a list of "heavy buyers" (always good to know - they can have cats/stoners that belie their islands/age).

Well, I've had a conversation with Dhaaran 2 days ago. I didn't mention anything about Rhinokiller, but he told me he suspected him and realdeal since both bought their accounts. realdeal has 95 isles, so that must have been an expensive account...

Correct.
Sold amidst the Phoenix component of the "Great War".
Speaking of buyers and sellers, unicron2 is currently selling roughly 60k stoners per month. Orion is selling similar quantities, and also selling cats.

I know for a fact that unicron was a multi earlier on this server. A friend of mine started an account, named it Relentless, abandoned it, and gave it to unicron. I asked Relentless if he was playing, and he said no, and also gave me access to his account. When I logged in, the account has full of merchant ships...
Anyway, the account was in Angel for a while and I was too small and in another alliance to do anything about it. Eventually, unicron stopped using it and the account has deleted. But, I wouldn't be surprised if he was a multi now.

Add Wumpus and geico to the list of buyers.
Relatively small-change, but buyers of IK assets nonetheless.

What's going on with everybody and their dog wanting to sell out? Is it that boring?

£125 for 9 months work isn't good is it?

I messaged him asking if I could know who offered him that amount because I was interested in possibly sharing the account/costs with that other person since I wasn't too rich, but wanted some isles.
Unfortunately, he said it was confidential and I got nothing...

Probably bullshit then. 'Chirs' felt hte need to mail me twice about it; He has 7 isles in my corner of ocean 1... they are rather tempting, not to buy of course
