I may be paranoid, but looking at the number of views there just feels awkwardly big thinking it's forbidden from everyone who'd be interested....

Here's my assumption: when I'm playing WW I just leave the thread open and frequently refresh it as I'm doing things. That would jack up the view count since each time you hit refresh it counts as a page view (I think).

So how about instead of assuming people are cheating, we assume that the people who are allowed to look are looking very frequently, and that non-players are also following the discussion.

I'd rather assume the best of everyone than assume the worst. And if we find out post-game that somebody was cheating all along, we can certainly self-regulate without the need to get mods involved (like mod-firing). I know there have been multiple discussions about shutting down WW because of how non-Tolkien it is. I'd hate to involve them in this if we don't have to.

That's exactly what I meant by self-regulation. Firstly, I don't believe any of us would knowingly cheat. I say this because the sheer overwhelming amount of disappointment that would be heaped upon them by everybody else would be awful. I mean, EVERYBODY would be really, really saddened by that kind of behavior. Everybody here loves playing, and we all respect each other's opinions, and hope to stay in each other's high esteem. I can't imagine anybody would want to damage that by doing something as stupid (and traceable) as cheating.

I think I and others have demonstrated some flaws in his attacks, and honestly I'm started to get VERY irritated with the fact that he still hasn't responded to my initial questioning of his opinion on me, despite my prodding.

I hate agreeing with you. It's so fun to bicker. But I agree with you. I will almost definitely be voting for Nog today because I just don't trust him.

Yes! Thank you. Like I said, I'm really not concerned about cheaters because we can always alienate them mercilessly later. Ask anybody that's ever made me mad: I am AWESOME at making them feel guilty without even being obviously mean.
