I don't think the people playing this game are so unsportsmanlike; it seems disrespectful to suggest it. We all know these games only work when played fairly.

I do agree and admit I hadn't thought of that bot-view thing. That might explain some of the numbers.

But at the same time I must say that at one time of the Day a few posts here seemed to have it like self-evident that people were peeking in there. And to that I protest.


Bah, I have been writing a post if that needs to be posted, but I was wawering whether that was a good idea or not, but now Boro's vote made it clear. I will send it in a short while...

And really Boro, voting me on the grounds that I voiced a general suspicion someone might peek at the dead-thread after a host of people had speculated on it and some had even given the air they had done it anyway or that it would be natural to do it?

I agree with Rikae that the trust is the key word, and what should guide us (and I'm ready for any mod-surveillance) but there's nothing to boost the trust than a threat of being caught...

I just plain disliked the speculation on "everyone has been there anyway"...



A post coming soon, to hopefully retrail the wagon.
