i just scammed! [Solution and discussion] (another victim!)

EDIT 2:

hehe another falls prey to my machinations.

EDIT:

Thanks again everyone for another successful thread, those who realized it was a joke, thanks for playing along. For those that didn't, sorry, perhaps this was all a bit too convincing. :P

Though I guess I did a good job with the fake convo, making an asshole of a character out of SP202, though the real SP202 (me :P) would never think of abusing his rep, let alone scamming anyone. And just to set the record straight, scamming is never justified, even with beggars or scammers who've scammed you in the past.

To those who thought this wasn't funny and that it was a poor choice of joke, yeah, you probably are right. It was meant to be a parody of the "i just got scammed!" threads which I've seen plenty of on here over the past year and thought it would be interesting to show the opposite, from the scammer's point of view. But I never intended the actual scamming to be a joke but rather the ridiculous over the top rudeness of SP202 as he scams an innocent trader and goes on to brag about it.

Anyways, the solution to the puzzle (calling it a puzzle is probably an insult to actual puzzles but...) was to take one of the fake keys that douchebag SP202 posts; pcmzT-1d10t-10lo1 and to take the first 5 letters of the "key" which is a giveaway link, with the giveaway being this.

This was pretty straightforward and simplistic puzzle with the only real challenge being paying attention, but I'm sure many of you were disappointed due to not owning the base game for the soundtrack. But don't worry, I will be making an actual puzzle like in the good old days with an actual game as a giveaway at the end very soon, possibly some time next week.

So yeah, stay tuned for more cruel hijinks and dastardly puzzles. And sorry support for the inevitably considerable amount of reports you must've received over this thread.
