someone just dumped a bunch of mines on my profile, so I used the trick of crating all my DP on a secret web page, turning off my armor, and detonating all the mines. Then I picked up my crate and put my armor back on.

The downside is, I now appear to be a benefactor again, despite being the recipient of my own crate. This is the first time my association changed during play as a opposed to overnight. Maybe the Benefactor association shouldn't give you credit for giving yourself DP.

Also, how did awesome get so many resources???

Either Awesome hits a lot of random websites just for the DP or created some missions that a lot of people have been taking.

skawesome does it too.

I get the feeling it's opening up random websites while he sleeps. Proper hax. :-( Nobody reads 4,000 websites per day like he needs to have in order to get that much DP and a snowglobe.

skawesome and awesome play all the time and are pretty generous as well. (Shh, don't let them hear that)

@evil-jim You're right, people take their missions.

You would be amazed at much play and amigos can generate; if I had a "Total DP accumulated and spent" meter vs. the "Total DP Earned," meter--I'd be waaaay up there.

From my conversations with these two, there are no 'hax' involved.

It's like this--I take a lot of missions, I make a few missions, and a lot of people just crate me stuff. So I buy Tools, and then use them. If I bothered counting how much DP I've been though, it would far surpass the 56k or so that I've earned. And as it is, I usually make around 2k a day...

I gotta write me some missions & good quality jaunts too. The sort people will be taking for months. But I can't just throw a bunch down out of my lightposts & be good with it. They must be perfect! Then I shall rake in the DP. I shall be a MILLIONAIRE! BWAHA HA HA HAAAAA!!!!!

Wait, you get money for people taking your missions?

How much?

Why don't the other items give you money?

You get 10 dp for each person that takes your mission.
You get 1 dp for each tag that you leave.

I think I remember getting 2 dp for foiling a mine with Armour--but that may be incorrect.
I would love it if Portals gave points...

Wait, do you get 1 DP for tagging missions? I get 2 for tagging players, so I try to do that a bit. Coming up with nicknames to your contacts can be quite fun.

the problem is getting people to take your missions without putting PMOG.com or PMOG.com/missions as one of the page.

I wish there was a way to loosely categorize your pmog so people who are interested in that kind of thing can find it. But thinking up all those categories would be quite a job!

Yeah, I've noticed that as well. I'm taking almost any mission that I find a little interesting, but that doesn't seem to be the case for most players.

Also, awesome and skawesome may be addicted to StumbleUpon (like I am) and use the toolbar a lot. It's a great way of getting unique domains quickly if you just sit there and press the button over and over.

This may not refer to them, but I remember seeing some problem reports about users saying they got the snowglobe badge when they didn't earn it.
