While I have been around the forums for a bit I know nothing about trades or bombs.  What is this and how does it work?

    Trade people for cigars, or send cigars to an unsuspecting BOTL (a bomb).

    The best way to get involved as a newbie is to get in on the PIF game. That's what it was designed for.

    Yup, you may need to visit the Fluff post thread and raise your post count to 25 (the minimum) and then request a trade or to send out a mooch package (pif). and you are on the list for every other game.

    You can also ask someone for a trade and once your end is received the person will report it on the good traders thread and again, you're in.

    If you decide to go the trade method, PM me and I am sure we can work something out. And like URBI said... WELCOME.

    Don't forget contests, some (like mine) are open to anyone. Shameless plug.

    I'm not a big fan of the Fluff post thread. It sorta defeats the purpose of having a minimum post count in the first place. But that's just me.

    True, but it's a good repository of truly random thoughts as well.

    25 isnt all that hard to get to. Just start asking questions or responding to questions in any of the threads! Its the good traders list that is tough.

    ?? really? It should take about 4 days if you want to get on the good traders list. Contact Laker for an address of a deserving BOTL and send him some sticks. Threaten to torture him if he doesn't put your name in the good trader list and you're in like a dirty shirt!

    Or you can contact me (Laker) to get on the good traders list. I enjoy being the first guy to offer a trade with new members.

    If any new members are looking to get on the good traders board, just drop me a PM and we will get something going.

    I also try to maintain a list of as many BOTL addresses as I can get my hands on, so if you are looking to bomb someone without them knowing anything about it, I may be able to provide the targets' address for you.

    Yup. That's one way of getting on the Good Trader list. Another way is to trade cigars with someone. Since you're new, you would have to wait for your end to arrive first (it's rare, but some guys will actually make a new account just to mooch or cheat someone in a trade. This is to keep everyone honest). After your end arrives, the older ccom member ships his end.
