This sounds a lot like W5 to me (W6 might be similar)...sjohie wrote:For me, it depends on the kind of message they send. Sometimes it's just 1 line which says, "I want to buy your xxxxxxx for yyy", without a salutation or decent title. Sometimes I ignore those, depending on how busy I am.
If I should rush through my company I try to reply (if there are any mails), but if I am too rushy I do sometimes forget my good education and forget things like "Regards" and stuff...

As far as I'm concerned, there's no harm in forgetting... it's remembering and not bothering that provokes threads like this. lolz
On the other hand, I've never become knighted, I've never been called Lord BogeyBoy, Sir Hero, or anything else... So why everyone 'has to' be polite to me is still an unanswered question.

Just joking
Well it doesn't harm anyone so state "Hi", "Hello" or some like that, does it? It does not really need to be "To whom it may concern," or "Sirs" (the last one especially not when writing to a female player)...

If I'm not mistaken, 'Ser' is old english and works for both male and females (heard it in Dragon Age: Origins and thought it was a bug.)Dopamin wrote:Well it doesn't harm anyone so state "Hi", "Hello" or some like that, does it?

I personally can be without 'kind regards'. It feels like suckup to me. No, a 'hello' or 'hi' works for me, along with a simple '/NAME' at the end.
'Sir' or 'madam' only works in Kapi-Regnum.
EDIT:
From wikipedia...
Ser: An honorific (equivalent to 'Sir') in Greg Bear's Eon novels, George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novels and in the Dragon Age video game series by Bioware

This is a business simulation game, so I'm simulating as a business
i check all my messages straight away, its hard not to notice a number next to the phone when normally it is on 0.
yes, i get annoyed when people dont reply, when i started off i messaged alot of people looking for customers and i still do it when i want to sell buildings or buy buildings or other goods.
although most people, when they do reply, are very polite and friendly, unlike lots of other online stuff when if you try and be nice you just get lots of abuse back

Follow up question...
If you have bought something from someone on the market and they decide to add you to their address book and start sending contracts of that same product without asking, do you accept them?
This just happened to me. I will eventually need the product but not right now. But I am not in a mood to accept the (3) contracts mainly because I was never asked. It was just assumed I wanted the products.
Now I'm struggling with the decision of not sending an IGM letting this person know, cancel contracts or leaving the contracts for them to figure it all out on their own. It's a shame. It's a new player and I like helping newbies. But not this way.

Different....
Usually I see the opposite, I buy the same players goods of the market almost every day and yet they still dont tick that I would buy on contract...their 10%
Ive only had what your describing happen once, I just contacted them and worked out a deal since I was buying anyway.
U sure you dont have a old forum post or thing in your showcase, I still get the occasional one from that even a year on,
note to self>why haven't you changed that??
