Bite your finger nails for about 15 minutes while contemplating your recovery: Take stock of your assets, dump some high value/volume stuff to get a float going (if your float was part of the 25b). Start thinking about what you need to do to earn back your 25b. Contemplate revenge. ---

Are you sure that this is not a lie? Based on the amount of salt that was extracted, we will rate this as a fib / Unless your referring towards your Sept failures, then we feel that this is over exaggerated. ---

> [@caijiliunian](#): > > I accepted the contract without carefully checking it Theres your problem. Even in the real world, the ā€œI didnt read the contractā€ doesnt usually fly. It flies even less in EVE. What you should do, is be thankful this didnt happen in the real world and youre not on the hook for several thousands of real world dollars, and learn from this mistake. If it matters to you enough to post about it, then it should matter to you enough to be careful. We all make mistakes. The important part is that we learn from it and move on. And yes, Getting revenge is good as well. ---
