In a recent conversation with Yastreb, he asked for examples of scammers who have been baited a for a long time, run through the mill, and performed or accumulated many noteworthy events along the way.
This seems to follow on from our dear friend Paul Andy, the man of eternal hope. Charles O. has entered this august company.
It occurred to me that we need an Eternal Hope definition, just as safaris are well defined. How long shall the bait have run? What notable things did the scammer do during the bait?
So I ask of you what parameters should be set for the Eternal Hope category. Which scammers should be nominated for this elite group?
My first thought: a scammer should be baited for one year, documented of course.
Add your thoughts. Refine and expand, please.

I would suggest that Eternal Hope candidates must have striking or unique features that set them apart. I can think of three such examples.
* Paulo has the ordeal with the "Real Mail" (remember the Etch-A-Sketch?) and the sucking of oranges in Abuja.
* Charles... well, the photos, and all that flowed from them, such as the Interpol intervention and the safaris to Abuja... and of this writing, he's still there!
* Michael F. has Mugu the bear. I think that qualifies!
Another possibility might be Geoff. "I sold the TV for you to get fucked" is definitely noteworthy.

Expanding the list...
* Paulo has the ordeal with the "Real Mail" (remember the Etch-A-Sketch?) and the sucking of oranges in Abuja.
* Charles... well, the photos, and all that flowed from them, such as the Interpol intervention and the safaris to Abuja... and of this writing, he's still there!
* Michael F. has Mugu the bear. I think that qualifies!
* Geoff. "I sold the TV for you to get fucked" is definitely noteworthy, and that's also ongoing.
* Raisin, for all the tattoos.

I'd say 12 months on the hook (ie, frequent baiting contact, not sending an email every few weeks) counts.

^^ plus the hope, that the victim will still pay, after the 12 months. Its impossible to quantify of course, but for those above it was obvious that they were highly invested and hopeful for a long time, not just letting themselves be dragged along out of boredom or for whatever other reason. * Paulo has the ordeal with the "Real Mail" (remember the Etch-A-Sketch?) and the sucking of oranges in Abuja.
It was licking orange afair, and there is nothing wrong with it |

Danniboy has been with me for 4 years continuously and came back a few times after that. He was fun.
