Back in late Spring of 2007, there was a clandestine meeting between the senior members of S.A.P.P. and the senior management of HiTech Creations.  At this meeting it was decided that we were going to pick one player's name out of a hat and mess with them.

Unfortunately for you, Viper65th was the name we picked.  Then we had to decide what we're going to do.  At first, we tossed around the idea of signing you up for a lot of spam but it just wasn't funny enough.

Fortunately, CorkyJr has a real good mean streak in him and came up with the idea of hitting a Squeaker where it hurts them the most.  I objected as it might not look good for a group of grown men going around and kicking some 13 year old in the nuts but CorkyJr explain that he meant the H2H arenas.

HiTech really liked this idea as it was a natural progression of our neferious plans for world domination.  After staging some "incidents" in the H2H rooms, we pulled the plug on the H2H rooms and celebrated by having a couple of platters of buffalo wings at Hooters.

Of course, you didn't hear this from me.

Not trying to be a jerk here, but here is a nice trick for new guys who are confused.

Consider, for a moment, the time it took to both create a new account And type out

Now, compare that much effort to a Search of "Eight Player Is Closed" and the answer just jumps out at you near the top of the results page.

Just saying, asking is one thing, looking produces better results, as well as having the answer right in front of you instead of waiting for some one to answer.

Scuse me Ranger, but I at least described the search function, and stated that this could be for the new guys.

You contributed how exactly?
