i remember back in the day R Quark was running it just fine till they suddenly decided it was time to go. ive never really understood the reason for them taking their leave tbh. Lyra wasn't in charge, for whatever reason. I wasn't playing then.
Supposedly the FC began to have problems. Ranks might have been abusing their power. So, some who were "trusted" maybe weren't trustworthy.
When I returned, I think Weakpig was still in there. He's about the most honest person I know. I don't think he's in there much, if ever, now.
The game/market might have changed now. So, the old R Quark system might not work now. I cannot for the life of me manage to catch Covid. Perhaps it's because I didn't get vaxxed? The travails of those lacking immunity.

Losers focus on winners. Winners focus on winning. That's a great quote you write.
I just like to spam. I don't think I'm winning lately, but it's not a big deal.
Margins are so huge now that I could probably rebuild if I tried. I might not even report any prices if I return to merching though. It seems like any price report now is just seen as fake. A reported price is just a snapshot anyway. People tend to misread what a certain price report means.
I do like to brag. So, maybe I would post amazing buys and sells, outlier trades that seem fake, just to brag. But the point would be to brag, not to influence prices. The few people who know me would know the price as real. The rest could think what they want. It is fun to brag. I cannot for the life of me manage to catch Covid.

Raphtalia6,
"bad people" as I mean in my post are probably serial liars in real life. It's well that you don't develop such habits. Habit probably controls a person more strongly than anything else. We can believe in good things, but unless we've been trained with habit, it can be tough to do our sense of "good."
It's far less stressful be honest and to mean well to others. Then, others have no reason to be against you. We're also social beings. So, we wish to be part of a group or to feel part of humanity as a whole maybe.
I read one author, who I can't find currently, say that heroes tend to be, in a sense, little people, or flawed. They're willing to risk themselves for others, perhaps because they don't have some sense that they are better, perhaps because they need the group.
A great supervillain who relies on only himself might one day find himself weakened and in need of friends. It's better to be good in real life. Happier ending, less stress, and perhaps more of a sort of virtuous pride, a sense of harmony and balance.
But I hate seeing "bad" triumph in aspects of life and in this game. Many "great men" are not good men. Elites, very powerful people, tend to be villains, I think. They're willing to do what others are unwilling, unbound by morality.
I have no desire to be such a person. Although, perhaps I just lack the ability. If I suddenly found myself strong, maybe I'd be a supervillain. In the US, some emails were released from our government recently. They expose some villains in the government. And our media hides it. I wouldn't want to support such things, even if the pay were good. I cannot for the life of me manage to catch Covid. Perhaps it's because I didn't get vaxxed? The travails of those lacking immunity.

In short i think the right and wrong depends on the point of view from those around you and yourself. It certainly can get complicated.
If I honestly work hard, tell the truth, etc.; I might one day find myself a useful cog in a very evil machine. Good vs. evil is complicated.
Often it seems more like evil vs. evil, with the two hindering one another, allowing for a respite.

At least in this video game, I've enjoyed two phenomena: R Quark and mint cakes (currency). R Quark was a mix of honest players and less honest players with a large degree of transparency. It was amazing to see the system work. It worked so well, margins largely ceased to exist. Merchants were helping with prices *against* their interests out of a sense of doing good.
It's wonderful to see something like that, sacrifice for some sense of good, without any personal reward. I cannot for the life of me manage to catch Covid. Perhaps it's because I didn't get vaxxed? The travails of those lacking immunity.
