but... My take is this. MadMonkey hit it on the head with 'no intentions of offering prize', and when the roar came to drop out, it was started before the snowball hit. (I knew it was no longer up for signup before his post, as I had just gone to remove myself. A wasted effort, it appears, as I seem to have been among those spared the need -- probably because I'm 'just too slow') Now those pawns and knights previously mentioned are henceforth stuck, with the only means of removal being Fencer. Whether or not in the end he decides to do so, Fencer really doesn't have time for all that, so the utlimate goal of harm to the site has been reached, regardless.
