Rego also posts non-stop about every single little thing. Don't try to compare yourself to Mr. Spamalot, it's not healthy.

Okay, so I was thinking about this lurker situation while making a pie, and the following occurred to me:
I could give up.
OR
I could not give up.
Okay, so if I did give up, what would that look like? I'd not get as many posts, or as many views, but I was talking to darrell and he suggested that then I wouldn't get as many opinions on my thread. That seems like a bad thing.
Okay, so if I didn't give up, what about that? I'd get more posts, but rego probably already has this post thing won, so its not like they give and prizes for 2nd place. Come to think of it, do they give prizes for first place? sunrise089, do they give prizes for first place? That would seem to make a big difference in what strategy I choose.
(So, what you're saying Cyneheard, is to not do this?) 
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?

I'm saying, don't stress about it. Do what you want, but don't feel like you have to beat Rego at the spamming.

Mostly I was just trying to mock rego there.

Hey, I thought it was an apt parody. Just do more stream-of-conscious posts, and post every time a new thought comes into your head about the game (and sometimes not about the game), and you might keep even with rego.

Thanks, pindicator.  I'm a pretty vicious thread-spammer myself when I want to be, but I generally try to keep things reasonably on-topic. I'll never be able to compete with rego, however.
The turn rolled over, and we neither built nor discovered anything. I shuffled a couple tiles, shuffled a couple units, and that's that. I'll let you finish up, Nakor.

Very quiet turn. Time enough to bake a pie!
Changed Vinland from a Market to a TP (1t) and will swap to a Settler next turn after growth.
Got the overflow from the whip in Riverland into a Settler. Should change to a Forge next turn and go back to settler 2 turns afterwards, after growth.
Nothing more to do then hit "end turn".

Nice parody, Gaspar. LOL @ the "while I was making a pie" part.
If you know what I mean.
