[Deptheads] SoCal Smackdown (Was: Get games up ASAP!)

[Nekojin]

My suggestion on that matter was with the mind that we really don't want
people playing both ends against the middle, and playing us off against each
other. But upon reflection, there's not much that MiBs could do along those
lines that would be worth concern.

I agree very much that we need to avoid causing more drama into the
situation that's developing. We need to be defusing the drama, not feeding
it. Let the other guys look like the heels.

"Would you like another drink, sir?" asked the bartender.
"I think not," replied Descartes, and promptly vanished.
