Or, perhaps, is peeker misposting here?

Could he be meaning to post in some scum board?

Given that the post explained how, EXACTLY\*, that angel was so restricted, I figured that commenting in a like style would be humorous, while asking a real question.

Meeko, you’ve been confused about a lot of things in this game, why is it a problem that I thought you were confused about this as well?

Well, Ed claimed for you (I only say that because you said it that way earlier), but, yes, you have claimed.

No, you’re not. Explain to me how you have been verified to be a pro-town mason.

Huh? You made a joke and it’s okay, I replied to the joke with a simple “WTF?” and I’m scummy? Why is it okay for you to make a joke and not me?

Pure and simple.

I don’t take three letters, especially what those three letters to mean, as a “joke”.

That’s the whole point: It _isn’t_ cheating, but it _is_ anti-Town. I trust you not to cheat, but I don’t trust you not to be Scum.

That sounds like your problem, not mine. I guess what it comes down to is that I just don’t understand your play style. My WTF, wasn’t just about what you did, but your game as a whole. You seem to be cluttering up the day with random questions and making life harder for everyone who has to wade through it all to see what’s actually going on.

ah but that’s why we are here. the spacing could just be echos that you hear when the dog barks.

i think i am going to like and will anticipate this discussion.

and actually there is not a cloud in the sky so rain seems to be out of the question.

and “ketchup” are you out of your mind. first its catsup and second nothing i would ever cook would require that abomination.

good point. voting for a team member in the main thread when it should be in a hidden thread. yep, that’s the way it works.

and you folks can kill me off whenever you want. i joined as a sub because of **pede**. i can’t take away the baggage of my predecessor but as near as i can tell it was crime by omisson not commission. so the folks that want to string me for ommission are full of crap and the ones that want to do it for commission are going to have to come up with something other than ommission.

“Sanctivity”? 😕

Wait a second…Central Texas?? :eek:

George W, is that you?? This explains so much…

:bleached:

1. It’s Night.

2. So, I don’t get why I get a vote for no reason. Others were doing the Wall of Words as well, including Chronos and Specialed.

Random voting like that seems like poor gameplay to me.

It’s not the Nighttime part that bothers me(which is just weird). It’s the fact that it just is there…with no explanation.

Momentary lapse into non-fluff: The last time **peeker** voted **Mahaloth** , it was a straight OMGUS vote, which I would describe as a fairly anti-Town move this late in the game. So maybe he is just returning to that.

Overall **peeker** seems to be playing just as weird as his predecessor. He is not the only person in this game to post a lot of incomprehensible stuff, but he is the only incomprehensible poster to have a demonstrated track record of winning a lot more often than not. I have called him the Colombo of SDMB Mafia, he is not nearly as batty or harmless as he appears (well…not as harmless, anyway).

I still remember how he handed my ass to me in my first game (Doperville), and I say that not because I am carrying a grudge but to show that I think I have good reason to be scared that he is in the game and, based on his predecessor’s actions, I strongly suspect that he is not on our side.

I am not sure what Peeker means.

However, looking up microdot lead me to “V-mail” which is a cool concept, if you ask me, and it leaves me learning something for the day. So, I count that as a win for me.

Given that Peeker knows what microdotting is, I am almost lead to say my next line here. What the hell,

Peeker: TFTC, TNLN, SL. and remember CITO. I didn’t think it was a lampost though, the 1/1 is inacurate, 5 for the D at a minimum, T is a 0 at a maximum.

And with that, I only have one thing left to say::

I think **peeker** was using the term “microdot” in the sense of [definition #3.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microdot_(disambiguation))

That goes a long way towards explaining what is going on with him. As far as **Meeko** …Og only knows.
