14 DAY TRIAL // It seems that people can sell anything on eBaby, including themselves, but not only as human beings, but also as "lifelong gamer friends" or a trustworthy Halo 3 co-ops. The auction was started by nismofrontier07 and the gamer promises that he's all sugar and honey, being a "great friend to chat with and play with all the time".
The bidding has now reached $20.50, but the user plans to reach $1500 sooner or later. This guy also mentions that he's "a good team player and responds to help needed during gameplay". Quite a bold statement, considering that most gamers forget about their co-op duties and start their personal killing spree. Will he at least reach a decent $100 limit or just quit the auction and start playing Halo 3 on his own?
It has come to this... Such an auction is almost a mercenary recruitment. If I "buy" the guy will he kill everyone for me and allow me to get achievement points more easily? Will he cover me? Will he heal me in due time? This sounds almost like marriage, but after all a game's a game and while playing in multiplayer a skilled partner is just what you need. Keep in mind that the man said nothing about his gaming abilities, so we might just be dealing with a hard-worker with few skills.
Will you bid for nismofrontier07 or just check out the ad and leave the man alone? I, for one, want to buy an entire army of Halo 3 mercenaries, ready to follow my orders and dispatch all the foes we encounter. Wouldn't it be cool to get hired as a virtual soldier and receive a decent pay? Mister "Nismo" may have started a trend, but I doubt that we'll see anyone else selling himself/herself, as it would be a copycat act.
