How to cheat, and get away with it, 101.

Greetings fellow residents of Mafianzia. Seems like there is some trouble brewing down in Newbland, and it's about to boil over.

Most of this, drama if you will, revolves around cheating. MSN role sharing, ala Zhong (come on newbs, you didn't think you were doing something original, did you?), has made a comeback, in a big way. Of course, Zhong became a moderator, so you don't expect the mods to actually do something about it, do you? Of course not. The mods will argue there's no proof, and that it's outside the game, therefore they can't really moderate the behavior. I guess that's the reasoning they use when they ban people for their profile picture. Please, they simply choose not to address this problem. Which, in reality, is fine, just don't insult us mere players intelligence by pretending to do something about it.

At least with MSN cheating it's somewhat hidden. Now the next problem is done completely in the open. Yet, again, the mods make no effort to address it. There are certain duos that have made pacts not to vote for each other. Again, an old problem, rearing its' ugly head. There were many who did this in the early stages of the game, official or not. Saskia and Jai, Allison and Shawn, for example. But for the old schoolers, this "pact" was broken when it would affect the outcome of the game.

With the newbs, this is not the case. The latest (and most publicized) incident involved Matty and Karen, two players that have such a pact. Matty threw a game because he refused to vote for Karen, allowing the mafia to win. Of course, Matty and Karen see nothing wrong with this. And apparently neither do the mods, because Matty never faced the consequences for his cheating. I hate to agree with Pia, but she is correct, you are an idiot Matty.

And you know what else makes Matty's IQ less then average? He had the nerve to post a thread asking if he should leave. Of course the people who respond are going to beg you to stay. But not Gossip Girl. I need an "out with the cheaters" t shirt.

You know you love me.
