Heys guys, I don't know about you but I'm really not happy with the fact that it's starting to seem like EVERY OTHER "opponents wanted" posting is always some one with less ten posts. Not only does this leave everything open to trolls "like you know who"  , but it's starting to seem to me that most serious players feel the need to contribute to the forum. I realized that there are exceptions to this, like my current opponent "Satisfaction" who has a low post count , and a former opponent "Blind snipper" who had a low count when I played against them. While these "serial lurkers"  don't post much, they were very willing to provide references (Or in "Satisfactions" case, his facebook page).And are OUTSTANDING , responsible players. Is it unreasonable to say in a Opponents wanted request , "no one with less than 100 posts need apply"? Would this help with some of the "Opponent trolls" that we are currently suffering? 
To be honest, I don't like that "Helmut-jumping" that has turned into a sport meanwhile. Yes, I participated last time. But what if he has changed and now searches for a real opponent? What if we mistake someone for him?
If I had more time, I'd even give him a try. But I'm afraid I have to play you first, old man. 
If he'd play , I'd agree with you. On the several occassions that I've tried , all he did was jerk me around with dozens of house rules, that once agreed upon needed to be changed, endless PM's , and a constant endeavor to keep wasting your time as long as he can. When you decide that you've had enough , then he gets abusive.
As far as not interferring , well, that's all fine and noble. But it's a little bit like watching a 14 year old beat up a 5 year old and not "interferring". Yeah, you can say how high and noble you are , but if you can look at yourself in the mirror without regret, then your not the kind of person I want to know.
The person who we are discussing is a sick, degenerate little person who desperately needs help. By ignoring him you MIGHT make him go away , but you are far more likely to run him into a trusting Newbie. Which guarantees that the newbie will be lost to the game and consider us badly because we didn't warn him.
I don't consider "Helmut jumping" to be a sport. I consider it to be a disagreeable,unpleasant duty. Every time I get involved with him, I imediately run to the washroom to clean up. But there always remains the question...."if we don't police him, then who will?".
Now, then MR Beer monster.....as far as our game goes, I'm still waiting!
