After the highway robbery this weekend, and including some rare impatience on my part, I'm now funneled into the baby tables. But that's OK, since time has shown that there's lots of good stuff out there, too. And not since finding out the Pustule has been taken as a player name on four different sites have I found this unusual name choice anomaly.
Universally the sites offer a log in as a guest feature. Check it out, don't bother going through the embarrassingly long registration process which leads to a string of spam in your email. So it's reasonable to expect that I might be actually sitting at a table with one of those. But there is a deeply suspicious catch here.
Avatar. Not the movie, the picture/icon.
There's a stable of boring basic avatars to choose from. Maybe you could pick one of those right away as a guest. I'm not interested in spending the time right now to check it out. The avatar that guest 89 has chosen is NOT one of them.
Being so concerned with our moral welfare, picking an avatar requires a waiting period. The sites must be sure you're not trying to upload something offensive like a picture of a naked frog or fully clothed Asian woman. It takes at least 24 hours for their crack teams of inoffensive avatar experts (them and their dogs) to review your choice.
And yet, here's a guest with a picture that looks like snowmobiles.
So fella, have you been playing for weeks/months/years and the most exciting username you could think of was "guest 89???" Naturally you went all in on complete bullshit on the first hand and it paid off. I'm going to have to stick to my first guess of rigged AI/admin nonsense.
