If a large, invis group is walking around the city you are in, stay in a peaceroom.
When you get bashed, 2 combat rounds pass with you being unable to do anything. Hitting recall is wiser than hitting stand and flee.
Rescue by name.
Deathtraps are lit most of the time, so if you scan you might detect them before its too late.
You can usually scan in the dark if 5 group members are lit.
If you feel sleepy or tired, you should rent, go home and take a nap.
If you are lagged, rent or at least inform you group members. Statistics show that most violent deaths are due to lagging.
If you have many enemies use the who command a lot, and buy a milky as well.

Anoixtomouna's Market Corner
When you sell you must.....
Use a newbie to do all your negotiations for selling/trading eq.
Always be in a peacroom.
Beware of summons. Either have a no summon item or just keep the eq you are selling on a multy.
Nicely named eq can track attention.
Be sure to take half of the price before handing the item to the victim.
Try to negotiate with the people that do not know the item you are selling.
First ask them if they have money to spend, then tell them stats.
It helps when you tell false stats, to tell the victim where you got it from i.e from Solaminc Outpost or Gargath or Storm Keep.
If the victim is dubious, do not press him to buy it.
Never never give them the item for id.
Be sure you now where the reception is.
Rent immediately after the trade/sell. After a while log on to hear things like "Misfit shouts 'never trust amouxtimouna with a trade..whore rwill rip ya off...tell me if eer ya see her...ill pay 1k fer her location'" or " Chipoletta tells you 'stop thief'" or even " Gamlin tells you 'if ya rip me off again I will kill you'". These tells are bound to make you feel happy and satisfied of your work.
Try not to travel.
Protect your reputation. Refuse any involvement in trade scandals.
Try to have a good lawyer.
If you are trying to buy....
When you shout for items always say that you have tons of cash to spend.
Always have in mind that if you do not buy the item nothing happens. There are no "I MUST MUST buy this" items for sale.
Do not fall for the trick of bids. Usally the victims try to raise the price by saying that another person makes another bid for the item.
Always ask to id the item and do not buy when you are doubtfull. Note the name of the victim in case you take his place (if he cheats you I mean).
Thats all Mazanostroids and remeber. The market place is a jungle.
Writing On The Board In Easy Steps For All To Understand.
On the board you should...
Have a sense of humour.
Different kinds of humour exist:
Maza Humour, which is self sarcastic, paranoid, intelligent and hides latent meanings and personal jokes.
Immortal Humour, which is boring, lacks imagination, leaves no room for argument.
Major Clan Humour, which is influenced by their spaming regulations and their trivial differences with one another.
Individual Humour, which can be all the above, but if you are as humourless as Korg or Morgion is, then please resign the effort and start carrying ice in the van of Vegos.
If you tend to self-insult yourself, stop posting and carry on with the above instructions or variations of it.
Never never swear on the board.
View the board as a game were intelligent people can insult each other in original and smart ways. If the insult is good, you can only laugh and try to find an answer to outsmart him/her. There is no way to continue the game with a person that answers 'you suck!' all the time.
