Here I am, playing Forum Thud against Dearmer - it's been a tight game but once again I see my dwarves crumbling in the front of his mighty trolls, 26 moves in.
I cut and paste my moves, scroll down and once again I press the 'submit' button.
'Submit'.
Yup, that's exactly what I want to do. Give up. Quit. Run away. I've been feeling like that for the last 3 or 4 moves.
My theory, then, is that actually the 'Submit' button is a subliminal message, drip feeding the sub-concious into a state of apathy and withdrawal.
If, as human beings, we are told enough times we start believing. It's like the conditioning thing that happened with Pavlov's Dogs, or the way you fancy chocolate after a Mars advert. Every move 'submit' 'submit' 'submit'.
I have yet to find sufficient substance as to why such an initiative would take place on the Thud Forum. It's a little multi-national for a single government plot, and perhaps a little small yet for the secret multi-corps or societies. The most fitting theory that has occurred to me thus far was evidenced in Oograh's scoreboards. The moderators. How come they appear to be the better players? A slight more than coincidence I suspect. Obviously somebody has gotten wind of my suspicions, and a new and previously unheared of player has ascended the scoreboard. Or is it a desparate cover up?
Is it, as is rumoured, and possibly evidenced in Ponder's Power crazed writings, that the moderators don't click 'submit' but rather a button marked 'Squash the minion', 'Assert Authority', or even 'Take over the world'?
Fellow players, I would greatly value your views and opinions around these theories. There is more here than meets the eye . . . . .
erm...ah...RUN!
but the reason the best players are moderators is that we have been here the longest and posted the most so we get made mods. (bar me, who hasn't really bin here that long)
And any hoo i'm a mod and im really not that good.
And i have played against a few newbies and got slaughtered
so, as far as i am aware, there is no conspriacy. or so he believes...
ps. and leave my power crazed writing out of this! i have medicine you know!

Marvellous!
The evidence base is growing! Soon I'll have enough to fit on the back of a post card! Then - I'll copy it and send it to a secret location, known only by 4 other individuals, develop a cult and call it something like 'Pryingry of Spyon' and task it to release the secret at some predetermined time in the future!
Beware, Moderators - we are on to you!
EEK!
thats so funny! rofl lots!
