I sniffed out the MOAT one page in. This isn't the same due to the odd circumstances that led to it along with the side shows. Truth is stranger than fiction.
I actually thought the MOAT was pretty obvious. I was surprised that so many people were hooked, in part because the thread represented some level of wish fulfillment.
Wasn't there a MOAT II that fell flat? Sequels usually suck anyway. Someone should plan a MOAT III and redeem the MOAT brand.
A MOAT II from the BKs? I don't recall that, but I can check the old BK forum stuff. I'm sure it was discussed, but we probably figured it'd never work.
