Heh…nothing like jumping every darn firearm ever made. I’ll admit that on seeing our newest member, my first reaction was that he was a…er…bridge-dwelling species intent on stalking our own dear Saint Manyfishies, but my second reaction was wait and see. Although your implied prediction is probably more likely, I’ll give you that. ---

Yes, please, a link. I tried searches but found nothing. Did you copy the username correctly? ---

This new doper has never even posted yet. Why don’t we just wait and see before we start invoking socks and bridge dwellers, hmm? Maybe it’s a lurker who admires Polycarp (as a good many of the rest of us do). Has anybody else ever been pitted before they even posted? Are you premature in everything, \*\* Mtgman\*\*? 😉 ---

Among various guys with names like ColdFireisBigSlut, I recall reading about a guy with a name to do with hacking(or cracking, I’m not quite sure how it’s different) after the board got hacked. He saw the pit thread, said fuck you all for judging him on his name and got banned. ---
