@wrath, a back 2 back is posts by the same person touching. This message was posted from a T300

I ment it's still done the same way - mindlessly/blindly clicking the submit button

If one person does it you get 1 1 1 1 1
If 3 people do it you get : 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3

Both scenarios the game is ruined

@vlam,
I think you are right about stopping the mad posting without looking, however I don't think total post count should be fined, I always post at the begining a bunch just to get the game going. However maybe double posting should be fined, that sounds like a good idea.

Wappers can only play by blind posting. 123123 is fine, it happens everywhere 1111 is when you need to deduct. This message was posted from a T300

@BOSSHOGG
How is 1 2 3 1 2 3 better then 1 1 1

Is it simply better because 3 people are doing it instead of one? Especially since it's done exactly the same way at exactly the same speed? A little change of timing and you get 1 1 2 3 3 2 2 1! Will you punish all 3 then?

[edit]
Besides, it's silly to say "It's OK for wappers to do it, since they can
t play any other way"

I have a suggestion (that will probably be shot down in flames) to stop the multi-posting.

How about saying that anyone with more than one post in a five post window either side of the target gets disqualified? EG if the target reply number is 10, and someone has reply numbers 9 and 12 they would be breaking the rules.

This way people would have to be more selective about when they have their attempt. Any thoughts/other ideas??

@Fritz24
I was just about to suggest that myself!

There is a problem there though

If post 41 is wanted, nobody will post 45-49

It depends on how you play the game. I usually wait till the post counter is 3 or 4 below the target then post. If I miss then that's tough luck. As I said it'll make people more selective when they post.

And if the target's 41 then it doesn't matter if there's no 45-49
