Well... I think I did see an evilmantis forum account pop up after I spoke with him in game about it...
But, he didn't post...
He's new.. so I would suggest maybe considering giving him a chance?
Fun fact: I did run afoul of him before. Getting him on the forum was a great idea, I thought.
Oh look, here he is?
memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=8726
As for the rules.
I would suggest, the fishing pic should include a timestamp.
Perhaps, that could be considered in your declarations of winners.
Obviously, if the goal is to get on the forum, a seasoned forum user (like me) would have a distinct advantage over someone totally new (who has to find the topic, has to figure out how to reply, has to figure out how to post pics)....
Anyway, if I do get the pet, I will ask him myself to post here.
If he does, I'll give him that pet.
If it's my pet, I can choose to do with it what I like (and that choice seems to go along with the original intent of the game, does it not?)
