    "This is a possibility, but it wouldn't be a good play and doesn't make sense" is not a claim you're the Acquisitioner.

        Well since my gimmick has been trivialized ill type like normal till i find a new one.

        my point i was making was all this speculating about who the acquisitioner is at this point is almost pointless. my gimmick has nothing to do with it either. why would i go through the effort of doing that if i was just going to shed this name at the end of the day anyways and steal someone else's name?

          the best way to handle the acquisitioner is wait for their original name to flip, then look for irregular behavior that goes against the norm established today.

            May i reccomend typing in a specific font or something. I would see such a thing fitting, if used with the correct font. Remember to like this post to show support for this idea.

              I think I lost my draft of my post, but I figured out what you were trying to say anyway. It's WIFOM that invites unnecessary attention onto Acquisitioner-you for Day 1 for little gain. The point was that Apple's contention you had more scum equity for it than town equity was wrong. Do you see what I was saying now?

              Either way, thoughts after catching up.

              I came off page 10 with the impression IBM was surprisingly villagey. I think wolves typically outthink themselves on being agreeable and hold fast on things that don't make sense, hence the surprise, but their willingness to call out widely townread users suggested that the attitude was genuine.

              I don't really know what to make of posts like "this is lazy" right now though. I mean, I agree it can be discarded easily, but I don't think Amazon is a wolf for posting it (the read on Microsoft). Microsoft made a bizarre driveby calling out another user for inactivity, there's a strong attitude implicit in that and it's fair to want to examine it, and I guess it's either towny entitlement or just a very awkward wolfy-popin. Microsoft made an implied wolfread on McDonalds that I am kind of a fan of as well.

              Disney, Shell, and Apple were my top villagers. I thought Amazon was generally towny but I couldn't really understand some of their ideas. For example, saying someone is contributing but ignoring them is a good idea. I understand why, but don't agree the conclusion had any merit. Maybe I am more tolerant of people posting in alt caps.

              I don't understand why nobody called out UPS's popins (Amazon might have done it implicitly). I am not sure posting gimmicky once or twice a day to avoid phantom is better than NAI non-existence like Marlboro's, which did draw comment.

                  Not in the slightest

                  I just found it was pointless since my gimmick was easily replicable so it defeated the purpose of it.

                            I made something to randomly color all the characters in my posts a while back. I planned to use it for a big claim post. Never did. Your best bet is doing something like

                            r,b,g = rand(0-255)
                            if sum(r,b,g)<[value you determine is sufficiently high to make it appear colored]
                            goto r,b,g =
