Today, I will be tearing apart this BS using information that I have that the general public does not.

Collaboration, more like extortion

What is SciolyDex?

SciolyDex is a professional, efficient trading firm with collaborations from test hoarders, makers, and dedicated Science Olympiad members. What we do is compile tests, and trade out hard to get tests that you wouldn't be able to get elsewhere! Definitely not true. Multiple traders including myself have the same offering. I have a collection going back to '08. Many reputable schools have a collection going back to '09 or even further too. Many schools are easily accessible via the discord and can be traded with for the same offerings and demand much less from you in return. This is a organization made to help give back to the community by equipping them with tests, resources, and anything else you would need! Random helping the community, we all believe that. In truth, I was once a member of this thing, in its early stages. That's rhetoric I came up with right there and as the author, know is BS. This community was really created to manipulate the trading economy and make one centralized bank, allowing Random and his posse to control the majority of trades. Our bank includes endless amounts of notes, tests, pictures, and much much more! As someone who used to have access to the folder, I can say that while they have tests, their notes/pictures collection is really lacking. And for anything good, they will extort you and then scam you. (More on this and the trading practices of the members later). Our ultimate goal is to give back to the community and make some of the best resources more widely available. We all know Random doesn't want anything to be widely available. He wants to hoard. If you wanted things to be widely available, you would release them either on the discord where there is no retaliation, or even better, on the test exchange. (We also want to "collect them all", hence SciolyDEX, a play off PokeDex :D )

Who's in SciolyDex?

SciolyDex, being the professional organization it is, has some of the most experienced and best traders in it. Debatable. I would argue that the best traders are those that can efficiently trade via contacts and trust like myself and some established schools. Not people who spend hours looking for trades cause of how important they are. Some of which have been trading for years. Most of this trading has proabably not been super extensive as this year. I know for a fact that this is the first year that many people had most if not all tests before most state competitions occur. The old trading scene is simply not comparable to the new one, We can assure you that whenever you trade with us, you will be getting a fair deal. Biggest BS on here, see my comments on the no scam section. Most of them are National Competitors too! And in the words of a reining national champion, Currently, there are four of the limited allowed firm member spots filled.

Why SciolyDex?

SciolyDex was formed by the Scioly Discord trading community Do not use the name of my server (I am currently the highest ranking active moderator, in charge of running the server) for this BS. I CREATED the scioly discord community, starting with the trading channel. You don't get to say what the community has done. and has, by far, the biggest and most extensive test bank known. No, as someone who as seen the bank, I know multiple schools have had bigger test banks. The members of SciolyDex have high esteems in the current trading community and have everything that you would ever need! No, they have test that they ultimately get from other people. They are hardly willing to trade notes. Once, their second in command (birdy1248) offered to trade me his disease notes for a certain watermarked tests. Once he got the tests, he claimed he hacked the website of this tournament and since he already had the test, he couldn't give me stuff for it anymore. Unlike the normal discord server, this is a one-stop service which will get back to you fast! Or you really dissing the "normal discord server'. We are a super fast trading community with over 50, active trading members, You are 4-6 people who would rather trade tests than actually study. The chance of scamming is reduced to zero, The part I've been waiting to write. These are the three members I can think of of the top of my head. Those three are all scammers.
Random Human - Has privately admitted to scamming multiple times. On the discord server, he is a big proponent of "scammer rights". He has said that it is the fault of the people who get scammed because they were stupid enough to get scammed. He has told me that email trades are a great way to scam people because they might not have much outside contact and you can get away with it. He said to me that the best traders scam and get away with it to become above everyone else and even gave me advice on scamming when I was in the group.
Birdy1248 - Oh my god. He scams and then laughs at you about getting scammed and acts like it was no big deal. I told yall the story about the notes. That was absolutely ridiculous. Like he claimed to have hacked a top tier institution and that it went down while he was chatting with me. Nobody believes this bs. And when I bring it up later, he's like "lmaooo".
Sir Bluejay Edgar Hoover - Don't get me started on this. his exposure on the server is well documented and remembered. He traded for my potions notes. Every time he requested a trade he would say in all caps, BUT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DONT TRADE MY NOTES. He then goes on to trade my notes. I caught him with a scheme similar to MIT's I use to keep track of all copies of my notes to take out scammers. He claimed it was an honest beginners mistake and I gave him a second chance and helped him get back into trading by telling people he was "chill" and trustworthy. Two days ago, Dankest (shrewdpanther46 on the forums) from Community MS brought to my attention he traded out his potions notes. Actually ridiculous.
and you'll be able to trade for HUNDREDS of tests! These tests include some of those written by nationally acclaimed Event Supervisors (some event running events at the 2018 Tournament) and the rarest! We have tests such as MIT 2018, GGSO, Nationals B/C for 2007-2018, and much much more! We have resources and notes from national medalers and competitors, some even the champions of their events! While these people are willing to trade you tests, they will never trade you notes without extorting you for a crazy amount of resources by telling you that "they are the only place you can get this from" which is not true (I know because I helped come up with this strat when I was a member). The source would actually give it to you for cheaper. And when they agree, most of the time they will scam you because they HATE trading away notes because they are too valuable. They view these things as an actual money based currencies. The sources are much more approachable. I know because I have traded with many of them myself.

How can I get involved?

SciolyDex is accepting applications for members, but will be very strict and limiting to who will be allowed in the organization as we have LIMITED SPOTS for the team. However, anybody can trade with SciolyDexers in the discord server here: https://discord.gg/uz5HCDN. (The difference between joining SciolyDex and trading in the server is that if you join SciolyDex, you become one of the firm administrators and trade tests FOR the firm.) Anybody can become a SciolyDex community member, but becoming a firm member is a completely different story.

Conclusion

We welcome EVERYBODY to the SciolyDex server! Traders, hoarders, and basically anybody serious about Science Olympiad can be and will be let in. We're hiring for new members of the team, and will be ready to trade 24/7! You don't realize how depressing the 24/7 comment is do you?

Come, join us today!

Rather harsh, but this sounds exactly like Random Human. I actively avoid trading with him and his people (or possibly sockpuppets), since they're so obviously untrustworthy.

Yeah I can't believe I was once one of his few defenders man.

I have people from multiple reputable schools willing to say that "WhatScience? is one of the few big/reputable traders that don't scam"

cause like even if i trade, I actually HATE scammers...so year (prob cause of me modding the discord which makes it my job to punish them and write a code of anti spamming rules)

EDIT: to add more, me being this harsh actually says a lot..I'm close to every single member of this group via the discord and was once a member, for me to reveal all of this knowing full well that there is prob gonna be retaliation says a lot

but I know for a fact they are scammers so....i gotta do my job

EDIT2: I also want to say, running the discord actually has made me gone from somewhat being frustrated by the mods to actually respecting them a great deal. Even though there isn't as much drama here, this is bigger and more visible. For the last couple days, the mod team on the server has spent hours in deliberation each day on different issues that have come up. Settling disputes impartially is harder then it looks guys. I used to think the mods just did what ever they thought without that much thought but I was wrong. For running this place so smoothly, I gotta give props to the mods.

The source would actually give it to you for cheaper. And when they agree, most of the time they will scam you because they HATE trading away notes because they are too valuable. They view these things as an actual money based currencies. The sources are much more approachable. I know because I have traded with many of them myself.

How can I get involved?

SciolyDex is accepting applications for members, but will be very strict and limiting to who will be allowed in the organization as we have LIMITED SPOTS for the team. However, anybody can trade with SciolyDexers in the discord server here: https://discord.gg/uz5HCDN. (The difference between joining SciolyDex and trading in the server is that if you join SciolyDex, you become one of the firm administrators and trade tests FOR the firm.) Anybody can become a SciolyDex community member, but becoming a firm member is a completely different story.

Conclusion

We welcome EVERYBODY to the SciolyDex server! Traders, hoarders, and basically anybody serious about Science Olympiad can be and will be let in. We're hiring for new members of the team, and will be ready to trade 24/7! You don't realize how depressing the 24/7 comment is do you?

Come, join us today!

Today, we would like to unveil the newest collaborationof the Science Olympiad Community - SciolyDex

Collaboration, more like extortion

What is SciolyDex?

SciolyDex is a professional, efficient trading firm with collaborations from test hoarders, makers, and dedicated Science Olympiad members. What we do is compile tests, and trade out hard to get tests that you wouldn't be able to get elsewhere! Definitely not true. Multiple traders including myself have the same offering. I have a collection going back to '08. Many reputable schools have a collection going back to '09 or even further too. Many schools are easily accessible via the discord and can be traded with for the same offerings and demand much less from you in return. This is a organization made to help give back to the community by equipping them with tests, resources, and anything else you would need! Random helping the community, we all believe that. In truth, I was once a member of this thing, in its early stages. That's rhetoric I came up with right there and as the author, know is BS. This community was really created to manipulate the trading economy and make one centralized bank, allowing Random and his posse to control the majority of trades. Our bank includes endless amounts of notes, tests, pictures, and much much more! As someone who used to have access to the folder, I can say that while they have tests, their notes/pictures collection is really lacking. And for anything good, they will extort you and then scam you. (More on this and the trading practices of the members later). Our ultimate goal is to give back to the community and make some of the best resources more widely available. We all know Random doesn't want anything to be widely available. He wants to hoard. If you wanted things to be widely available, you would release them either on the discord where there is no retaliation, or even better, on the test exchange. (We also want to "collect them all", hence SciolyDEX, a play off PokeDex :D )

Who's in SciolyDex?

SciolyDex, being the professional organization it is, has some of the most experienced and best traders in it. Debatable. I would argue that the best traders are those that can efficiently trade via contacts and trust like myself and some established schools. Not people who spend hours looking for trades cause of how important they are. Some of which have been trading for years. Most of this trading has proabably not been super extensive as this year. I know for a fact that this is the first year that many people had most if not all tests before most state competitions occur. The old trading scene is simply not comparable to the new one, We can assure you that whenever you trade with us, you will be getting a fair deal. Biggest BS on here, see my comments on the no scam section. Most of them are National Competitors too! And in the words of a reining national champion, Currently, there are four of the limited allowed firm member spots filled.

Why SciolyDex?

SciolyDex was formed by the Scioly Discord trading community Do not use the name of my server (I am currently the highest ranking active moderator, in charge of running the server) for this BS. I CREATED the scioly discord community, starting with the trading channel. You don't get to say what the community has done. and has, by far, the biggest and most extensive test bank known. No, as someone who as seen the bank, I know multiple schools have had bigger test banks. The members of SciolyDex have high esteems in the current trading community and have everything that you would ever need! No, they have test that they ultimately get from other people. They are hardly willing to trade notes. Once, their second in command (birdy1248) offered to trade me his disease notes for a certain watermarked tests. Once he got the tests, he claimed he hacked the website of this tournament and since he already had the test, he couldn't give me stuff for it anymore. Unlike the normal discord server, this is a one-stop service which will get back to you fast! Or you really dissing the "normal discord server'. We are a super fast trading community with over 50, active trading members, You are 4-6 people who would rather trade tests than actually study. The chance of scamming is reduced to zero, The part I've been waiting to write. These are the three members I can think of of the top of my head. Those three are all scammers.
Random Human - Has privately admitted to scamming multiple times. On the discord server, he is a big proponent of "scammer rights". He has said that it is the fault of the people who get scammed because they were stupid enough to get scammed. He has told me that email trades are a great way to scam people because they might not have much outside contact and you can get away with it. He said to me that the best traders scam and get away with it to become above everyone else and even gave me advice on scamming when I was in the group.
Birdy1248 - Oh my god. He scams and then laughs at you about getting scammed and acts like it was no big deal. I told yall the story about the notes. That was absolutely ridiculous. Like he claimed to have hacked a top tier institution and that it went down while he was chatting with me. Nobody believes this bs. And when I bring it up later, he's like "lmaooo".
Sir Bluejay Edgar Hoover - Don't get me started on this. his exposure on the server is well documented and remembered. He traded for my potions notes. Every time he requested a trade he would say in all caps, BUT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DONT TRADE MY NOTES. He then goes on to trade my notes. I caught him with a scheme similar to MIT's I use to keep track of all copies of my notes to take out scammers. He claimed it was an honest beginners mistake and I gave him a second chance and helped him get back into trading by telling people he was "chill" and trustworthy. Two days ago, Dankest (shrewdpanther46 on the forums) from Community MS brought to my attention he traded out his potions notes. Actually ridiculous.
and you'll be able to trade for HUNDREDS of tests! These tests include some of those written by nationally acclaimed Event Supervisors (some event running events at the 2018 Tournament) and the rarest! We have tests such as MIT 2018, GGSO, Nationals B/C for 2007-2018, and much much more! We have resources and notes from national medalers and competitors, some even the champions of their events! While these people are willing to trade you tests, they will never trade you notes without extorting you for a crazy amount of resources by telling you that "they are the only place you can get this from" which is not true (I know because I helped come up with this strat when I was a member).

They view these things as an actual money based currencies. The sources are much more approachable. I know because I have traded with many of them myself.

I told people, (who I would rather not name in this instance to because they asked but I will if I have to), that I realized what you were doing was terrible and that I didn't need you. Me begging to join your chat was to get more of your discussion to ultimately take you down.

I will remind you that I have staged a righteous coup before.

As I told you before, there is no way the 'SciOlyDex' posted that without your permission and you acknowledged that point.
