Hey guys sorry about bailing there at the end but life caught up to me. Nice work catching scum(third party?) the first shot out of the gate. I’ll be drinking whatever the guy in the cape is buying. ---

Simple math tells you you’re more likely to hit a townie than a bad guy. Grr. So, yeah, I’ll try to get back in with a real vote before the day closes. Can anyone confirm that 12345 here isn’t in fact another Seeker sock? Sorry, but it would be just Seeker’s style to create a sock and sub into the game he was already playing in. So… anyone know this guy? ---

I have no reason to suspect anything untowards about Ichini Sanshigo. Ichini signed up to be a sub long before the Seeker banning occurred. Furthermore, I contacted Ichini when the banning went down, not vice versa. I have no reason to think Ichini Sanshigo is a sock. Certainly, no more reason to suspect Ichini than any of you. ETA: You know, sock-puppet mafia would be kind of cool. ---

Relevant thread here: [Socks are Bad](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=510808) I asked Ichini Sanshigo to replace Seeker of Truth and Beauty because a banned member can no longer play. Ichini Sanshigo accepted the invitiation. Nothing to see here. Please move on. ---

I’m assuming for the moment that a sock is an alternate name used by a person? That is, someone registered on here with one name using a back-up name? Either that or a name that is used by more than one person… ---

I’m still not sure that we aren’t all figments of Chris’ (Idle’s) mind. hmmm…kinda creepy if you think about it, but it could be true… And, I know you’ll read this at some point so, **Hi, Idle, we’re talking about you!** ---

**sachertorte** : > [@](#): > > _Nothing to see here. Please move on._ Really? Nothing to see? Why are you suddenly so anxious to cut off all conversation about **Seeker**? And I can’t help but notice that _edited_ our post 529, the very post in which you originally announced **Seeker** had been banned. Coincidence? I think not. **vote sachertorte** (I jest.
